Three months... no blog. Bad blogger :P

Thought I'd make a list of things I'm loving right now

Parasol Proctorate Series by Gail Carriger
I picked up the first one "soulless" on a whim. It was was an amazon recommendation, I read the description and thought it sounded fun. It has supernatural and steampunk and the main character, Alexia is delightfully snarky. I'm about 3/4 through the second book. The first one I have passed on to two different friends. Reading it has made me want to wear more steampunk stuff as it's gorgeous, but dont' really know how/when/where to wear it without looking like a goober. I do think I'm going to get some steampunk-esque pants though.

BBC Sherlock-
I didn't know what to expect when we pressed play on Netflix streaming. I don't watch a lot of the Masterpiece theater stuff. I knew this had been getting good buzz and that Steven Moffat was involved, so we gave it a go. I didn't know it was set in modern times (Hubby gave me a "duh" look). I really enjoyed the 3 episodes of season one and hope to catch season 2 when it's on PBS

Planning scrappy quilts
Yea.. haven't even sorted my fabric yet, but I want to make a string quilt, maybe a bottled rainbow and then I found these wonderful books (material obsession 1 & 2)... that I want to make... oh everything from. This says nothing of the list of t-shirt quilts I've now said I'd do, or the quilts i've started and need to finish...

Isitcomicconyet
I find it hilarious to say, on a near daily basis to hubby "is it comic-con yet?". To which he laughs or rolls his eyes. He told me I should make that a website. But it is fun to speculate and try to hunt down info and obsessively check website and see movies that they talked about last year.

Hooping
I've done about 6 classes so far and I love it. Unfortunately there aren't any more classes in my direct vicinity until August (that may be good with the heat however). I'm not really good at it, but I have fun doing it and that's what counts.

We have E's high school graduation this weekend. Kind of strange. I'm hoping all goes well. My high school graduation was sort of a mess because of divorces and remarriages and adults not acting like adults, so I hope that doesn't happen for E's.
