Crafty Kat: August 2010

Welcome to my blog

If you enjoy finding a lot of different outlets for your creativity, then we may just be kindred spirits.

This blog is an outlet for my interest in miniatures, crochet, plastic canvas, and many other various arts and crafts.

I also love walking, taking digital photos, and most recently, have rediscovered an old love...bike riding! I purchased an amazing new bike, a comfy Townie by Electra this summer, and have been having a grand time exploring the area as though for the first time. It's like being a kid again!

If you enjoy any of these things too, pour a cup of coffee and tea, sit down, and join me.

Take care!

Kat

Kindle for PC

I downloaded the free Kindle for PC, and it's really cool. I've been reading free books that are in the public domain.
I really enjoyed The Ghost Pirates, by William Hope Hodgson. I love reading thoughts from a man who lived in the 1800's. It was very cool. The book was suspenseful...an old time horror story. I loved reading about life onboard a haunted sailing ship.
