I spent my fabric money on a new book.
I did try to buy fabric, really I did. I just didn't see much that HAD to come home with me. I bought a quarter of a yard of flannel elephants for an Emily project, and I did find some shamrocks from the 2013 collection @ $2/yd & I got 3/4 of that at the remnant price. I did bring home some batting, which is what I really went out after. I used my gift card and an extra 20ยข.
I knew the latest J.D. Robb release was out and available at Costco. I even managed to get a "signed" copy for the same price as a "regular" copy. (I'm sure it was signed by auto-pen or a rubber stamp, but it's still kinda cool.) So my $20 of mad money was spent on a fresh read. Normally I add my name to the audio-book list at the library and wait for my turn to come up and sew while "reading". This will be an early birthday present to me. Now I will spend the next two days reading it. Some books are like crack, I usually can't stop once I get started. This author is one of them.
Do you consume books like me, or can you set them down and walk away and not wonder what's going to happen next or how will they get out of that predicament? Do you have a favorite author(s) with characters that you have a hard time resisting?
Well, I had better go refresh my ice water and crack open that book. I hear it calling my name louder than my sewing machine tonight!
