Saw a link to this great iPhone/iPad app from The Poetry Foundation. It’s a fun way to access quite the array of poetry, so I think this will be a nice addition to my other poetry app, Poem Flow
Today was a nice little down day. I was waiting for some confirmation about what sort and size of sleeve this SAQA quilt needs. I like to do that as part of finishing the edges if I can, and only do it once.
So, what to do in the meantime? I closed up the ironing board and cleared out some magazines, some icky fabric, put away some stuff, thought about the coming project a bit. I count this process as being normal, part of staying acquainted with the stash, letting the brain work out the possibilities etc. All good.
And now I have the info I need so I can measure and trim up the Seasons quilt and get it done.
Among things found: Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone. Holy cow. How many times have I opened this book and it still sucks me in. Made me a little weepy today, the part I read. Holy cow. Just holy.cow. I have such a renewed appreciation of what Rowling did.
I’m still pondering where to take my NaNoWriMo project. I think my part three might need to be snuck in earlier or saved to a future project. Ooops did I just say that?
You have so much going on. To be young and really involved. I almost remember those days.
Glad your info came back so fast. I know you like to finish projects. I found a couple of useful things that came from DeClementi’s . One a new fleece wrap and the other an old
quilt that I recovered for them and never used after I did it. Very big.

Eeeeks! Nid wyf yn fodlon
Interestingly, I had one of those in Warcraft – there a philosopher’s stone increased one’s abilities generally and was required for practicing alchemy above a certain level.
From the Harry Potter Wiki:
“The Stone is known in the United States books and films as the Sorcerer’s Stone (with the exception of The Tales of Beedle the Bard, where it is referenced as “the Philosopher’s Stone”.) This was so because American children were presumably not as familiar with real-world mythology surrounding the Philosopher’s Stone. ”
how weird!
