Linking up with Ginny and Frontier Dreams and Laura ~
Since I have knitted approximately 0.036789% since last week, I’ll show you a shot inside my project bag.
A while back, I was once again re-organizing some things and trying to think good and smart thoughts and to hit upon a perfect organization solution, for oh, maybe slightly less than 110% of my house, whereupon I redid my knitting organization. The rest of the rest we really won’t comment on in this post.
In this post I showed a small bag I organized some flexis and yarn markers and needles and things in.
I had another bag I stuck my knitting in for a while. I think I have pictures in another post, but I’m not finding it right now.
I decided I needed a bigger bag and pulled this one out. I love it! Love the print and the way it’s made.
It’s from Thirty-One and I believe it is called the Soft Utility Tote and it is the Parisian Garden print.
Before I commence into my book talk, I want to shout-out in case you’ve missed it, that we have a book giveaway for The Happiness Dare going on right over here, if you’d like to take a few minutes to enter!
I checked these two books out of the library on Saturday and I’ve read a little in both. Middlemarch is interesting, but the old English challenges my simple scholastic skills and attention span!! Ha!
I’ve long heard of the children’s book, The Wind in the Willows, but I have never read it. I decided it was time.
This lovely book arrived on my doorstep last week. One part of me wants to jump on the couch and disappear under my lightweight ruffly blanket and into the pages. Another part of me is waiting for the perfect time to open the front cover and begin.
I’m still reading through A Million Little Ways and I started this e-version of Shauna Niequist’s Bittersweet. I’d pre-ordered Present Over Perfect and then I started seeing offers for some great freebies for pre-orders. I hopped over to check out the details and submitted my info. I received all her other books in e-versions. I was pretty happy about it, because I’ve never read Bittersweet or Cold Tangerines. I love “real” books best, but e-books work and I do like having books on my phone when I’m away from home.
It’s wonderful for waiting in line or waiting when I’m with my man on a farm errand or waiting at the dentist’s office, like I did on Monday. Matthew had part of a tooth break. Ugh. Not so fun! So thankful for people who are skilled at fixing these things. This tooth was broken when Matthew was young. He was working with a jack and it hit him in the side of the jaw and broke his tooth. He’s had it worked on one other time and now, again. Hopefully, this repair will last for a long time!
It looked rather painful, when I peered into his mouth and saw the broken, missing side of his tooth with inside exposed. {Shudder.}
ANYWAY. All that to say, I’m letting Present Over Perfect wait and it looks pretty laying on my coffee table and it seems to say, “I’m waiting for the perfect opportunity!” 🙂
This song spoke to me this week.
The Hurt and The Healer by Mercy Me.
I hadn’t heard it before. I don’t listen to the radio a lot and mostly just listen to my iPod when i want music playing. {I can be funny about noise. Too much is too much sometimes. I could never have a radio or tv constantly playing. I’ve read some articles about highly sensitive people and I have many of the attributes on the checklist!!}
However, not listening to the radio means my music variety isn’t widened too readily! 🙂 🙂
Last September, I started listening to these four songs and they’ve been my favorites for about a year.
Warrior by Steven Curtis Chapman
No Longer a Slave by Bethel Music
Greater by Mercy Me
Creation Calls by Brian Doerkson
Then I added a couple of songs by Travis Cottrell to my repertoire.
and
The Blood of Jesus Speaks For Me.
KID PICK
Another Little Golden!
Butterfly Kisses. So sweet for those littles in your life!
And look what my sister brought me!
Wool dryer balls from her store.
They’re so pretty I want to stack them up for looks instead of using them in my dryer!!!
They are very good at hiding in the clothes and at popping out at you when you pull clothes from the dryer!!! It makes a good hide-and-seek game.
One more thing I’m happy about!
A fellow launch team member shared this marvelous idea.
She said she always takes her Bible studies and Scripture cards to an office store and has them spiral bound. I loved the idea!
I took my cards to Office Depot and they put a clear plastic on front and back and spiraled it for me for $3.50.
I saw a picture with the cards spiral bound on the side instead of the top. SO, options!!! Whatever would work best for you!
Have a best Wednesday ever!!

Thank you for sharing!! I love to peak into other fellow knitters bags to try and pick up some good ideas for organizing my own bag!! This bag looks amazing…I love the pattern and so many pockets!!
Thank you
Janice
This bag is amazing! 🙂 I love all my bags from Thirty-One. They have great products.
I like to be inspired by other people’s ideas, too. 🙂
I have Middlemarch in my list to read soon as well and I hated The Wind in the Willows as a girl but have decided I must have been in a grumpy place because it’s exactly the kind of book I now love!
I think I will skim through Middlemarch. I am not that much of a literature student. 🙂 The story is interesting, though.
Your description about your childhood experience with The Wind in the Willows made me giggle. I am enjoying it! I like books full of imagination and whimsy.
