Any August babies out there?

Abigail is organizing a birthday swap for us -
August Birthday Swap

- with a really cute button. Drop her a line if you'd like to join.



I'm working on next month's selection for Crafted Poetry: selected poems from Jane Hirshfield's Given Sugar, Given Salt. I will post links and commentary by the end of next week.

And... I'm culling my list for the Reading Challenge. I thought I had it down to ten, which was manageable because I included June's Knit the Classics selection (Wuthering Heights). I was wrong. Thanks to my dear friend Janet, who gave me a copy of Nancy Pearl's More Book Lust (autographed!), I spent about two hours adding titles to my nicely-pared-down list. (I have Nancy's Action Figure at work - she "shusshes" at the touch of a button!) Now I have to edit the list all over again.

And... I'm knitting dishcloth after dishcloth after dishcloth. I sure hope my friends like washing dishes. (I do.) I won't be knitting anything for Pride and Prejudice, but I'm plotting something for Wuthering Heights...

An August birthday swap... What a great idea! Too bad I have a June birthday. My lovely daughter is an August baby though.
