Starting a new audiobook tonight while I get some stitching done. I'm done with my bees and am working on aliens now. 👽👽👽

Notafraidofwords My grandmother was so good at this. Every year she tried to teach me and then the next year that I would visit, she would start all over. 8y

BookishFeminist @Notafraidofwords if you ever want to try again let me know & I can teach! It's really relaxing, kind of like coloring. Stitching or coloring + audiobook always gets me out of whatever anxiety I'm dealing with. 😊 8y

Dolly I bet you could do those bees in your sleep🙄 8y

danimgill This is awesome! (So happy to see a fellow stitcher on here too 😊) 8y

Notafraidofwords @BookishFeminist that's totally how I feel when I'm browsing for a new journal. It's like the easing of anxiety. 8y

Hestapleton @BookishFeminist I want to start audiostitching in 2017!! 8y

drokka Lots of progress since the last time I saw it. Looking good! 8y

vivastory Love it! Watched several episodes a couple months ago after seeing Bryan Cranston in person. He mentioned the episode he was in. 8y

StephTKO UM. Mind. Blown. 8y

Ekkross The stitching is fierce! 8y

LeahBergen I was wondering how those bees were coming! It's looking great. 👍🏼 8y

Zelma That is pretty badass stitching! 👍👍 8y

haileybean I'm doing some knitting while listening to an audiobook. 😍 I'm jealous of your stitching. It's lovely. 8y

whatthelog Omg this is amazing!! 8y

slhbooks Makes me want to get out my cross-stitching. I started a sampler eons ago...before bifocals. Wonder if I could still see well enough to stitch👀 8y

BookishFeminist @slhbooks I have bifocals and manage alright. There's hope! I use an Ott Lite and daylight light bulbs around the house and that helps. 😊 8y

Marrow Island | Alexis M. Smith

Today has been a dumpster fire. Getting some self care in tonight with some reading and stitching. This X-Files sampler is starting to come together! Bees update: I'm still stitching them. 😭🐝🐝🐝🐝

I'm switching back and forth between Marrow Island and my audiobook of American Heiress right now. I'm digging them both! 🎧

#audiostitching #booksncrafts

HardcoverHearts I've got Marrow Island queued up, so I am happy you are giving it a positive spin so far. 8y

TheNextBook Oh honey! Whats going on? 8y

BookishFeminist @TheNextBook I'll text you 😘 8y

8little_paws I'm sorry to hear you're having a bad day :(. Your stitching looks fantastic!! 8y

Notafraidofwords I get it. I had the Monday blues today. 8y

Seonjoon The stitching is so gorgeous! And I hope your week picks up... 8y

Megabooks Ugh! I'm sorry! I'm listening to American Heiress too, but I'm #audiocoloring. 8y

stacybmartin I hope your week gets better - I'm digging those bees!! 💛🐝💛 8y

Eyelit 💜🐝💜 8y

[DELETED] 1409720085 They are fabulous looking bees though. I've been making hats for my local homeless shelter and I feel like my hands are going to fall off before I run out of yarn. 8y

[DELETED] 3323341091 i like your bees! how is Marrow Island striking you? 8y

LeahBergen It's really coming along! 👍🏼 8y

Sraexx I love the stitching!! 8y

The Couple Next Door | Shari Lapena

I wanted to keep watching Bates Motel tonight but had to substitute a thriller audiobook instead when someone **coughcough** had to go to bed. 👀 But it means I finished another cross-stitch! This is about as Christmas as I get. 🎄

I'm liking this book on audio rather than print. The repetitive writing is a bit insufferable but the plot is engaging so far. It's making for a great, lazy #audiobook listen. 🎧

#audiostitching #booksncrafts

Texreader Beautiful! I enjoy cross stitching too. 8y

Vinjii Very beautiful. Would you recommend Bates Motel? I watched the first season and it was okay but not great? (I have *so* much TV on my list 😳) 8y

BookishFeminist @Texreader Thank you! It's a great way to relax and the only actual reading I've been able to do lately has been stitching while listening to audiobooks. Would love to see some of your projects. 8y

BookishFeminist @Vinjii Thanks! I mean, I'm hopelessly addicted to the first season (I'm just at the finale) so I'm not sure. I love it but it's totally my thing but I'll let you know if it gets better. I spend a majority my time questioning the life decisions of the characters & heckling them so this likely adds to my enjoyment 😂 8y

DeborahSmall I'm behind with Bates Motel but my 18 year old is up to date and it gets a lot better, apparently!! I need to get my arse into gear with my cross stitching! This looks great ❤️👍🏼📚 8y

Mommamanzi Love it! I did a piece on black even weave once NEVER AGAIN! I could never get the lighting right so I could see what I was doing. Yours looks amazing! 8y

LibrarianToujours That's how I feel about Christmas, too 😆 8y

Cortg I need to keep a TBR list of good audiobooks. I despise Christmas decorating or any seasonal decorating for that matter, but I host Christmas and my kids (and sister) would be super bummed if I didn't...so I'm hoping to get the outside done tomorrow on my day off since it's going to be on the warmer side. I'd much rather be reading. 8y

drokka Very pretty! I love #audiostitching two fav pastimes in kahoots 8y

Vinjii Yes, I guess questioning life decisions is a good way to watch this show 😂 8y

Josie LOVE Bates Motel!!! 8y

WordWaller Ahaha ha I love this pattern. 8y

LeahBergen That's great!!! 8y

BexCW I switch to audio when I find the narration tedious! It's so much easier to take in. 8y

BexCW And love the cross stitch. I've spent the day going 'bah!' to stop my coworker singing christmas songs. We agreed it coukd start in December. Because I'm feeling generous. 8y

Hidden Figures: The Story of the African-American Women Who Helped Win the Space Race | Margot Lee Shetterly

Been working on this while listening to Hidden Figures on audio & finished tonight! (The project, not the audiobook.) I loved making this ode to #nastywomen while hearing the story about these amazing go-getter NASA women. 🙋🏾🚀

The #audiobook is fantastic so far! I love Robin Miles' narration & audio definitely makes it easier to understand the math and science portions of the book for this liberal arts person. 😆
