Heading to DC for ALA today. I am on the ERP for COA in ALA so it will have training too. Have I ever said how much librarians love acronyms? I am going on AA to get there of course!

I’ve stolen this from Knitdaisy who took it from Knihovnik, who originally got it from Phil Bradley.  I have to site my sources, right?

Wow, a web based knitting game? or at least it looks like one but I do not read the language!

I am still working on my own summer reading list. So far I am reading Guns Germs and Steel but there are other resources out there for you to look at.

Reading is Fundamental has good advice and links to children’s reading resources.

The American Library Association has a good site too.

A quick search of the internet will provide many lists for your reading pleasure. I will also share a secret; I am a librarian but I really like the amazon recommends feature of www.amazon.com. it works wonderfully.

Same piece pictured just minutes apart on different surfaces. They look completely different. I hope I am able to take lighting into account for my final products. i.e. that I know what the lighting might be like where the FO will be used.

Last night I had a great time rolling a few hanks of cotton yarn into balls that I can knit on the road with. But the best part was when my 7 YO son came running over and asked if he could help. The look of intensity on his face as he wrapped the yarn on the ball was wonderful! I still smile thinking about it!
