You'll have to excuse the wrinkles! I was too lazy to iron today. :)
In gadget news.... I got my mom a cheap Kindle 2 off eBay. I have been reading on it a little bit and I'm really enjoying it. I didn't realize how much I missed reading on an e-ink device. Especially at night when my eyes are tired. So it looks like I'll be getting a Kindle for myself. I'm going to get the Kindle 3 (wifi). I have promised my dh that this will definitely be it for a long time. He's getting a little frustrated with my gadget obsession lately. :). The Kindle 3's are out of stock right now, so it will be a couple weeks until I get it. Until then I will use my mom's...
I got her a cute Speck case for it at Target...
Well, nothing else really going on here. Just lots of laundry, dishes, etc. The usual! Write soon! :)

Nicole, you are going to LOVE the Kindle 3 with Wifi. I just got mine on Friday and already can't believe how easy it is on the eyes. It won't look like the one you posted...much smaller....and you will need a case specically for this size. Mine was delayed also but so worth the wait. pj
ReplyDeleteLove that case! I think a break from that big block is definitely in order! :D
ReplyDeleteI do like my original kindle, but I go through long periods of not using it. *scratches head* I thought you got a nook earlier this summer; did something happen to it or did you decide to switch to kindle for some reason?
Oh, I think I'm going to get one of these, you enabler you! Tell your DH that you're an "early adapter!" LOL. I'm waiting to see also what new goodies Apple is coming out with this year.
ReplyDeleteI have been looking for a cute case I will have to check out my Target. I love my Knidle. I have downloded so many free books that are actually REALLY good.
ReplyDeleteI have the K3. You will not be disappointed.
ReplyDeleteI also just ordered a decal skin for it (I have the unlighted case, I prefer a hard cover) from the Decal Girl. She's having a 20% off sale this weekend too.
Nice progress on stitching! The Kindle 3 is definitely tempting -- so small! It's mainly the size that's attractive for me. I have to say that the lit screen on the ipad is an advantage for me since when it's dark I don't have problems like I do when I read a book or a Kindle. :D Old eyes....
ReplyDeletei totally get taking a break. i have been working on Mary Wigham for awhile and i must admit i get tired of just cross stitch. i like to have a challenge stitch in there somewhere. love your piece. i tend to love the feel of a book so not sure i am ready for kindle yet. someday maybe
ReplyDeleteYour blog is really lovely
ReplyDeletemaybe a little early christmas ornament before going back to the shores??
ReplyDeleteDo you prefer the Kindle to your iPad? I had thought to get a Kindle and then waited for the iPads to come out. I am still procrastinating!
ReplyDeleteI have the 2nd generation Kindle and love it. I like having a ton of books in one little thing.
ReplyDeleteAh - you need the feeling of accomplishment! Stitch an ornie or a small...then you'll be ready to get back to it.
ReplyDeleteYour Shores looks fabulous, even if you are in a stitching slump. I'm kind of in one too! But I know I'll move on out of it shortly. Enjoy your mom's Kindle. I'm waiting for one that reads to me so I can stitch and listen. For now, Audible.com has been my friend.
ReplyDeleteFun!!! Glad you found your mom a Kindle.
ReplyDeleteLove Shores too :-).
Shores looks wonderful!
ReplyDeleteYour blog is really lovely, I am charmed with your embroidery
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!!!!
Your Shores is looking great! Don't let the big central block intimidate you, it goes faster than you'd think.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about the slump, Nicole! Definitely grab something else to see if that strikes your fancy, even if Shores looks SO good! I was never able to stitch a HRH project straight through. I can't wait to hear what you think of the Kindle 3!
