1 book and 1 project finished!

I just moments ago finished reading The Seventh Station.  I really like McInerny's writing and he does a good job of making the stories exciting but not ridiculously suspenseful.  It seems also a good way to become a little more acquainted with Catholicism since I really don't know much about it at this point.  I tried to find some DVDs of the Father Dowling tv show that was on several years ago but without much success yet.

In other news, I finished my octo last night!  And Oliver is now officially Olivia.  After I got done, I realized that she was much to pretty and shiny to be a boy.  :)  Here are some pics of her progress:

Body parts cut out and waiting to be sewn (the worst part of the whole project =cutting 16 leg pieces!)

Legs waiting to be sewn on...suckers done on one leg.

Close up of the first leg complete with suckers

Ta da!  Meet Olivia!  See how she is much to pretty to be a boy?  :)

I think she is very cute!

I still haven't decided what I am going to work on next...going to think about it and hopefully start something new tomorrow since I don't have to work.  Having this week free has been really nice and helpful for getting things done! 
Already started reading my cleaning book too!  :)
