Today I spent most of the afternoon with my sewing machine.  Laundry and a bit of cleaning took up most of my morning.   

I worked on the second Southern Gentleman block.  I have really enjoyed using this satin stitch. 
It's relaxing and calming.  Perhaps because I go really slow so I have lots of control and I love hearing the hum of the machine as it runs at a slow and easy pace.

Oh.... and Jess.... your pants are done.  :o) 

I started feeling better yesterday and I felt like  finishing the book I had started on our trip home Monday.  "Handle With Care" by Jodi Picoult.   I flipped the last page around midnight.  It was very good and I really like the authors style of writing. 
Each of her characters are written in the first person.   This book is about a couple who has two daughters....one has been born with a severe handicap... and the story is about the decision the mother makes to sue her OBGYN for wrongful birth and how it effects everyone.  It's a riveting story and certainly thought provoking. 
This is her second book I've read and I'll definitely read more of hers. 
She's the author of sixteen novels, including  "My Sisters Keeper" which has been made into a movie....{but they changed the ending (I've been told) and it completely misses the point of the book}.  I'm glad I haven't seen the movie and I won't now. 

Have a great weekend.
