Winner!

As you know I am an avid reader.

 

 My

challenge is going well.  I have read 97 books so far this year.  So my personal goal of 104 books for the year is in sight.  I may even surpass it!!

While surfing around other book blogs on Teaser Tuesdays (where I always find new books to try!), I found a new blog, Pudgy Penguin Perusals.  She was having a drawing for a mystery book (one of my favorite type of books).  Guess what?!   
I won!!  Yep, soon I’ll be reading, “Tempest in the Tea Leaves” by Kari Lee Townsend.  I can’t wait.  I’ll be reading about a tea leave reading psychic.

So you would think all this reading would interfere with my knitting.  You could be right.  But I try to balance it out by listening to books on tape while I knit.  And I always read for a little bit at bed time (which sometimes turns into late night! lol)

    But for now, I think it’s time to get some knitting done.

Winner!!

I probably haven't mention it before, (but I have whined mentioned it many times to my husband) I have entered numerous (a large amount) of entries in which the random number generator picks the winner. I have left comments, entered socks, jokes, etc and I am never picked.  Even when there was only 2, yes 2 entries, the random number generator did NOT pick me!!

Until now!!  I'm a winner!!!

Last month The Daily Fiber had their one year blogaversary. All you had to do to enter was leave a comment on her blog about what you find most valuable about your blog. So I did. But really didn't expect much. Well my number came up!! I won a lovely apron.

I was so excited when I heard I won. The apron has cherries on it. Yum!! I love cherries. For a closer look at the material, click here and scroll down.

I remember my grandmother and my mother wearing aprons when they cooked. I even grew up wearing aprons (to keep my dresses clean?!). When my mother went to work in the evenings, I cooked dinner (being the eldest of 5 kids). So I always had an apron.  I wore aprons even after I got married, especially when I cooked holiday meals. I had to buy my aprons because I never did learn to sew with the sewing machine (unlike my mother and grandmother who made most of my dresses).  So I was very excited to hear I won.

Thank you so much Jody for the lovely apron! I love it!!
