I read <i>In Praise of Stay at Home Moms</i> by Dr. Laura. <br /><br />I usually do about 10-12 loads per week. And they are huge loads.

I REALLY want to buy some felt food for the kids. I'm too lazy to make it.<br /><br />Your posts are always great, I'm sure you have some good material!<br /><br />Have you read Crossing to Safety by Wallace Stegner (a Utahn!) It's a sweet story about two couples who meet in college and become lifelong friends, not without their struggles.

Still have one more to read. There's 4 books in all. <br />Hubby does all the laundry and I fold and iron about 5-6 loads a week. <br />I love to look at handmade items Etsy but have never shopped there. I usually go to my local quilt shop to buy fabric or Joann's depending on the type of sewing project I have in mind.<br /><br />A big thanks to you for hosting the blogger's quilt festival!

This thread is very interesting too! I've just read "Sleep, Pale Sister" by Joanne Harris, loved Time Traveller's Wife (apparently the film isn't very good so will avoid that) and am catching up with the Elm Creek Quilters, I'm just about to read the Christmas story. I've never bought anything on Etsy. What was the other question? Oh yes, washing. I usually do three loads a week - we do a lot of handwashing to save power and water.Lis Harwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11700965811840448266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2695658711837141737.post-77413147165499566952009-11-13T03:20:30.059-07:002009-11-13T03:20:30.059-07:00I bought soap on Etsy for christmas, and I have bo...I bought soap on Etsy for christmas, and I have bought over time: card holders for my wedding, the clutch for the wedding, T-Shirts, hand dyed yarn, mouse pads and jewelry. <br /><br />I loved Margret Atwood's Oryx and Crake.Kucki68https://www.blogger.com/profile/08899834063961406187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2695658711837141737.post-51781166413111295012009-11-12T21:39:03.332-07:002009-11-12T21:39:03.332-07:00Love your blog!

Those books were amazing! I highly recommend them! But I have to warn you that once you get about 100 pages into the first one you can't stop! <br />I normally do about 8-10 loads of laundry a week. I can handle washing and folding is OK, I just hate the putting away part.

As far as books go, The Master Butcher's Singing Club is fabulous. Seriously. It's like reading a Wallace Stegner novel. Really a great read. I'm current;y reading World War Z, and I have to say that it is great too, but in a comletely different way. Don't let the premise scare you away (there is a war with zombies and this book is a journalist's compilation of post-war interviews.) It is fascinating, especially with the whole H1N1 scare these days.Belvahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04294978721662094227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2695658711837141737.post-80098761704581422112009-11-12T16:53:45.214-07:002009-11-12T16:53:45.214-07:00I actually like Clive Cussler books and am reading...I actually like Clive Cussler books and am reading Iceberg.
