Stitch's Showcase

Howdy do! Yesterday was a great day! The sun was shining, it was cool but not hot. Ahhh...a true definition of what I think Spring to be. :) T and I had a pleasent afternoon venturing to the book fair over the mountain. Sadly, we didn't come out with many books but we had fun just being together. :) We did get some of our FAVORITE BBQ chips, Martin's M chips! A Godsend to say the least!! LOL But it was a nice afternoon trip. :)
My thumb has healed!! YAY! I managed to put some neosporin on it when it happened and POOF all better!! :) LOL I did a little stitching tonight and finished up a magnet but that's it. Tomorrow or today since it's past midnight..LOL I'll probably work on Happy Everything. I'm in the mood to do that. :) Or I might start Happy Spring by Lizzie Kate. Something small and simple! Hehe...
Anyhoo, I've got a few questions to answer from Booking Through Thursday so here you go: Enjoy!! Happy Stitching everyone!

1. Do you have a favorite character(s)?

Yes I do.

2. What book/author is he/she/it from?

He is The Great Gatsby from well The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald.


3. Why do you like this person--what is it about the way he/she was written that drew you to them?

Hmmm..I was drawn to him because eventhough he is quite rich and well established in life, he is extremely naive. The way that he looks at everything in life with almost the pure innoncence of a child is amazing to me. He's so charming and witty but so clueless to the mysteries of love, when someone is using you. He's just such a wonderful character but so tragic at the same time. A true definition of what the American Dream is in an optimists mind versus reality.


4. Is there something more you would like the author to tell you about them?

No, not really as I think Fitzgerald gives you just enough information. Enough to know him personally but not delve too deep into his psyche.
