I read in bed...so mostly it hits me in the face as I fall asleep. I didn't get to see all of Little Dorrit on Masterpiece theater so thought I would read the book.

Did you get to Neil Gaiman's Graveyard Book yet? First I listed to the audio book, then happened to find the book at the library so read that too. Both are wonderful.

Rachel is so fabulous! I do love the grapes. Oh..and I saw the newest Kindle the other night and the friend that had it says it reads to you...and demonstrated it. So I immediately told hubby I "needed" that so I could "read" while stitching! LOL! Something to think about anyway...just in case you can't find the book you're looking for on audio.Cathy Lloydhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15693650575653412368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3789554235806283705.post-65914685347180221802009-05-01T19:27:00.000-07:002009-05-01T19:27:00.000-07:00I have so enjoyed every bit of progress you've mad...I have so enjoyed every bit of progress you've made on your RH!

I'm glad to see I'm not alone in entertaining my ears while my eyes count. :)<br /><br />Rachel is beautiful and no matter what you pick on her to do nest, it'll be perfect. <br /><br />Can't wait to hear what you ultimately think of Drood -- I'm excited by it, but I've got too many other books on the pile before it.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16927472981531670361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3789554235806283705.post-76097390307781854392009-05-01T11:55:00.000-07:002009-05-01T11:55:00.000-07:00Margaret!!!

It certainly helps that the over one is tent stitch though, doesn't it. Makes it go so much quicker. And what will your next project be? Flora, perhaps? You will love it if you do stitch that! I think all of us have our mind wanting to stitch all the projects in waiting! It's hard sometimes to resist starting something else! I'm sure you'll be on your next project in no time with those flying needles.Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00792171420098351093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3789554235806283705.post-8935694652864742842009-05-01T11:38:00.000-07:002009-05-01T11:38:00.000-07:00Hey Margaret - I think when my dad was stitching R...Hey Margaret - I think when my dad was stitching Rachel - we decided it must be a big cat like a puma (mountain lion) didn't think they were in RI humm isn't that where dear Rachel was? Remember it took my dad 5 mos to stitch which we thought was amazing - your progress is supernatural I think !<br />You and Siobhan are tempting me with your audio books - i don't allow myself to read because it would take time away from my hand work but I was perusing Ipods on Amazon last week - bad bad girl - getting me in yet more trouble!

It is a very pretty beast, at least. ;) Great progress, Margaret, and I would never get tired of seeing pics! Rachel is a beaut.<br /><br />I hear you on the 'agh, it's not on Audible' lament. I have been periodically checking audible.co.uk for "The Last Dickens", too, but so far it's not there. I'll keep checking. I did get this wild idea of getting my mom to sign up for audible.com when she's here; I'll pay her and she'll use her credit card to hopefully circumvent the whole 'you're not in the US' thing. Audible.co.uk is missing a bunch of books that I see on the US site. Nothing like being obsessive! You've created a monster with your recommendation of audible books! ;) I wrote down the others you mentioned, too.<br /><br />Have a great weekend!Siobhánhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14664728276490470180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3789554235806283705.post-54503401577922968042009-05-01T06:27:00.000-07:002009-05-01T06:27:00.000-07:00Rachel is just beautiful!
