I Have Lost it!!

Well, I was using the Kindle 2 for a few days and then I started missing my Kindle 3. I missed the smaller size and the quieter buttons. It shouldn't have made a difference, but it did. I was having Kindle 3 envy everywhere I looked. :) So..... I sold my K2 and ordered another Kindle 3. This time I ordered white (3G) and I like it sooo much better. I'm finally happy!! Really and truly this time. The screen is so nice with the white casing. I think it was just the graphite that was playing tricks on my eyes. Anyway, the gadget saga is finally done now!!! I promise this time! :)





I made a little slip case using the quilt top I was making awhile back (I knew I'd never finish that quilt!!).



Ok, now that the gadget saga is officially over, I have some stitching to share. I got a little bit more stitched on Shores. I finished the dolphin and worked on the boat a little bit yesterday...



I also decided to start Ann Smith yesterday. I only got a tiny bit done. There is a lot of over one in this design. I decided to do tent stitch to make it go a little faster. Hopefully it will look ok!!



Well, we're in for a rainy day today. Perfect stitching and reading weather. I love fall! Write soon! :)

The Gadget Saga Continues....

Many were confused as to why I would buy a Kindle when I had an iPad and what did I do with my nook? Well, I sold the nook when I got my iPad because I was reading on it more than the nook. And then I realized I may have sold my nook too soon. The backlighting on the iPad started to bother my eyes and it was heavy - I wasn't exactly able to curl up in bed with it. So I decided to try out the new Kindle. I really wanted to like it, but the new screen with the greater contrast had almost too much contrast. it was making my eyes go buggy. :) I realized I really missed the Kindle 2 I gave to my mom. While looking on eBay one day I saw one for only $100 and that included the leather case and shipping and it was only 3 months old. So I got it and returned the Kindle 3. I'm so happy I did - not only did I save $100 ($40 on the Kindle and $60 on the case), but I can read with no problems in it. Now I know many people are very happy with their Kindle 3's, so I'm not saying there is anything wrong with it, it just wasn't for me. Anyway, here are some pictures of my new (old) Kindle. :)





So hopefully this is the end of the gadget saga and I can get back to reading and stitching. I have really been reading a lot lately - it's almost as if I've rediscovered an old friend. I'm loving it! And speaking of stitching - I have gotten a little bit more stitched on Shores...

P.S. I'm still loving my iPad for everything, but reading. It really is awesome and my Kindle makes a great companion to it.
