Jurassic World was pretty fun, once the film decided to make up it's mind about what sort of movie it wanted to be. Lots of nods to the first movie as well. I suppose I could consider reading Jurassic Park.

There are four Jurassic Park Movies. I only saw the first two.
Here is a list of them.

and moving on , i'm on book three (out of three) of the Miss Peregrine's Peculiar Children series

Ugh. I am so not finishing my reading list. Too much crafting to do (to build stock for a craft show), plus picking up on a second job is really cutting into my free time.

i'm actually doing quite well... if i read more than crochet. XD

I actually read a bit today, while I am lying on the couch and recovering from arduous physical labour! Read from an actually book and not internet fanfiction via iphone! Go me!

I shall finish this book one of these months, really.

Really!

My goal is to finish The Communist Manifesto today. It's homework, and I hate homework on my conscience.

By the way, Quiet, I went and posted a second time in the 101 movies list :s-smile:

I am doing quite well this year on my reading. I just finished Kristin Lavransdatter (1,124 pages) it was very good. Kept my interest for 90% of it, which is amazing for a book that size.

@Kad, are you making your dragons? They are pretty cute and I'm sure they will sell well at craft shows.

OMG somebody posted in one of my 101 threads! Huzzah! Go post in the book one, too! :D

The Communist Manifesto was on my "to read" list for a while, because I decided I wanted to read Mein Kampf at some point and that was going to be my counter-balance. Is it frighteningly massive?

I've read Mein Kampf. I could not tell you anything about it, because I remember nothing about it. I remember thinking wow! It was quite a commitment.

Moon: I haven't been, but I do have a few that I need to finish. Mainly I have been working on some of my chain and scalemaille projects, a mitered scarf, and my mermaid blanket.
I do have a pig that I need to finish still (needs eyes and a tail) but that's pretty much all I have done on stuffed animals in the last couple of months.

I have a sort of To Do list on my computer of things I wanted to get made this month, and really the stuffed animals don't actually take that long, I just get lazy. But my goal is to make 2 stuffed animals, finish 2 partially made scarves, and finish my mermaid blanket (which probably won't happen just because I've had to wait for yarn orders twice this month).
And yes, the dragons do sell really well at craft fairs, I made around $100 off of them at the only craft show I did last year. I will be doing that one again, but plan on having a few other animals made also. So far I can make dragons, foxes, pigs, and sharks and I would like to learn either the sheep or the alpaca pattern and get a couple of those made up also. So I have a lot of crafting to do between now and early November. Plus I picked up a second job recently, which will cut into my free time some.

Did get a couple of chapters read in a book (might try to finish it tonight if I can get a few other things taken care of in time). But I have decided that I am not allowed to pick up any more books to read until I have finished at least 2 more and I am only allowed to pick up one of the books that is on my list as a book I want to read this year.

I've currently limited myself to 2 books at a time, and only one genre book at a time, though we'll see how long that lasts once I get through Memories of Ice. I'm also not allowed to buy any more books until I can't get them from the library. Sadly, The Hellbound Heart is not available at my library and the book is too pricey at Indigo for me to justify buying. Bah! No luck at the used book store lately, either. Though, I could ask over facebook again. They were helpful finding me a copy of The Witcher.

@Kad: I find at craft sales that some people tend to price their stuff too expensive and it doesn't sell. Sounds like you have reasonable prices. I know crafting takes a long time and can be a thankless task, I make pendants and sell them at my friend's store, Imake them quick, and as cheaply as possible and charge only $12 and they fly out! Other jewelry in her store go for as much as $100. I've made $200 in the last few months, which I consider not bad.

@Quiet I am currently reading 4 books! That is way too much. i just get distracted and becoming interested in a topic, then I start that book! and on and on.

@Quiet: Yeah...I have 3 books in progress currently plus like 20 more I want to start reading.

@Moon: Yeah, I charge between $15 and $25 depending on the size of the stuffed animal.
One of my friends keeps telling me I should raise my prices by $5, but I have already learned that what people say an item is worth is rarely the same as the amount they are willing to pay for it.
That's awesome! I haven't gotten my Etsy up with items yet, but I'm sure that when I do, it'll be fairly successful.

so.... i got another book from the library! yaay! ok, i got two, but one's a two-week book.... and the three-week book is a skinny little paperback. so, i started with the two-week book - The Turn by Kim Harrison - which is the prequel to her Hollows series with Rachel Morgan. we'll see how it goes. =)

also, i charge $25 for my base dolls that i crochet - more if there are to be additional layers or alterations.
