I always have a project or two going. One thing I like to do is listen to audio books while I do my other stuff. My wonderful husband introduced me to Audible a few years back and I love it! It's a great present that keeps on giving. The longer the better, like World Without End by Ken Follett, that was a good 40+ hours! It especially nice when I'm commuting to be into a good book, the time just flys by. 
Currently I'm reading An Arranged Marriage by Jo Beverley. I found it actually by searching for the narrator of recent books. This narrator is Jill Tanner and I've really come to like the way she tells a story, she's great with the different characters. I like historical fiction and enjoy tales from England and Scotland. The Outlander series is by far my favorite. I think I'm on book five but not all are on audio, well at least not all in the unabridged versions so that one I'm actually reading. Which sitting down to read is somewhat of a challenge most days so I've been on that one a while.

Well there is always laundry and usually dishes but then there are other fun things I can do and listen at the same time like make these little plushies...thanks to my friend Aimee. She let me borrow her book and make copies of the patterns. The elephant is mostly done, I think he needs a scarf or something and the dog well, first he needs a face and then maybe a collar. These might find their way to some little people I know very soon. Need to make some friends though, about 6 or 8 more!
And then there is my knitting. I have a few projects going there too. My lap blanket is coming along nicely. I'm about ready to switch colors, very exciting. I also have a scarf but I've gotten bored with it so I don't pick it up much. Also, there is this "Knit-Along" project I came across from Craft Stylish,
can't decide if I want to attempt this or not. It's cute. Any thoughts? Let me know. http://www.craftstylish.com/item/26637/dare-to-make-it-knit-along-an-easy-little-cardiWell, that is about it for the moment. Have a wonderful evening!
