Yesterday was ONE OF THOSE DAYS
It has been snowing for days
light fluffy snow
the kind I used to love to ski upon
You know I live on top of a mountain. . .
Sometimes it is hard to get off or on this mountain. . .
Sometimes we have to pull our groceries in a hard plastic swimming pool . . .
All the way on our gravel driveway. . .
No snowplow there. . .
THE POWER WENT OFF
There I was sitting in my down covered bed
working on the Magnolia Kindle Bag
and taking photographs because the SUN came out and was shining on my bed.
No Internet, either. . .but I did download Knitting in the Old Way
onto my Kindle.
At least that works. . .
I was probably one of the first one hundred to ever buy a Kindle
I collect books
I have so many books that we can never move!
but,
I have discovered listening to books while I knit and do other fiber arts. . .
And I upload patterns onto my Kindle
I even make books.
I read books on my Kindle, too. . .
while I wait in Drs. offices when I take my mom. . .
which is very often. . .she lives with me and is elderly
I NEED a very good bag to carry this in. . .
something that is me. . .
Magnolia Fiber makes the most wonderful bag. . .
It is cushy and very pretty!
This came in the mail from Camilla~Bloom day before yesterday. . .

| Isn't it luscious! This is for another squiggle mini-shawl. . .a gift for someone special. It only takes one hank + Kid Silk Haze to make this. . . OK now tomorrow I will show the finished Magnolia Kindle Bag complete with lining and straps. . . Have a GREAT Weekend! |

I very much enjoyed this post. (I like all your posts but this one struck home for me). A long time ago, I lived very far out in the country. We had to pull our groceries and water up to the house in sleds. (We had no running water). It was hard but so quiet and peaceful. We had no electricity either. And it was before the internet. I was very productive in my world of crafts, knitting, sewing (on a treadle).
Thanks for reminding me of a quieter time.
I've always thought a Kindle type of device would be awesome for carrying around all my pdf pattern files and knitting books...it would make traveling so much 'lighter'!!
I can't wait to see the new Kindle bag!!
Happy weekend!!
Beautiful- beautiful bag.
I am all about snow!
Are you making the basket on the side bar Bobbie-because my jaw dropped- it's so unique. I am delirious from all the creative work on your blog...so inspiring.
Glad you like the yarn.
Camilla, yes I am making the basket and it is getting close to being finished.
Thanks for getting the yarn here so quickly!
I love it so much the colors are so yummy.
