DEAR season

I like this time of the year, it's DEAR season :-)

Drop Everything And Read is on (has been on) till 31 Jan 2013 and you can borrow twice the usual number of books.

I used to lug DS' and DD's books till I told them that if they want to read, they'll have to carry their own books. Grin! Thing is, it's cold and wet weather here so I'll bring a jacket and brolly when I go out and with the extra books, I need a large enough bag to hold everything. Actually, this is my excuse. I've made many bags but I wanted one for myself and when I saw this cotton-linen blend in a retro print, I made one :-)

Have a blessed day!

ps: Library's closed today 'cos it's a public holiday but it'll be open tomorrow :-)

pps: If you have a Passion Card, please go activate your free premium membership. More books!

Gone fishing

How many times have you had to look for your keys in your roomy tote? Sometimes I put my keys in the pockets, sometimes I just throw them in if in a hurry. Thing is, they get buried under whatever barang barang I'm carrying around.
Used to make this fishing line more often in previous totes. It's long enough to reach the bottom and long enough (for me) that it can reach the locks at home so that I don't detach the keys to unlock. If I need them, I just yank on the fishing line and tug them out.
Have a blessed day!
