There just weren't enough hours in my days this week and my 'forget-ery' was on overdrive so there were several repeats in the mix. However I made it to Friday and for that we shall be truly grateful.
My February ornament is a mouse - not as small as I had imagined the mouse to be so perhaps more a rat than a mouse, but none the less he/she is finished.
So here we are front and back
Despite the dismal start to this post I am fine. But this week for the first time in my life I was fined at the local library. Can you imagine my horror - two books overdue and I had to pay a total of $1.20 How embarrassing is that? I had not even started either book despite having them in my pile for a month. Shall I show you the pile and then you can see why?
Anyway I'm off to bed now but not to sleep...to read and finish the current Kindle book and perhaps make a start on one of those wretched "overdue" books which the kind librarian renewed for me - after having relieved me of the money :-)
Good night.

Shocking lol...I think if the worse thing you ever get is a library fine, you are doing ok lol. Love the mouse, very very cute.
Very nice idea! I like it! :)
Plenty of reading time for you! :D Your little mouse is really sweet & looks perfect to me.
Sweet finish, I think that it looks great. There are not enough hours in the day to get to everything! I have a library fine too right now. Have a great weekend!
Sorry about the fine. Never enough time, is there? Nice finish to your ornament.
I love your mouse! Never enough time...
Love the mouse. We all need more time to do the things we want to do ;)
Seeing that pile of books I have decided that you are the most optimistic person I know!
You are not alone ......it was a new year resolution not to have any fines :( My problem is I choose the new books and they can only be out for a fortnight and cannot be renewed.
Congrats on the gorgeous finish!
I wish the library was closer to where I lived. Besides my Uni days I've not spent much time inside one. I do however love books! I'm a serial starter with books. I can't just have one in the pile either... although my pile is not quite as large as yours! The trouble with me is that I'm a bed time reader! I tried to read a few pages today on my lunch hour and in no time I was ready to fall asleep... must have myself conditioned haha
Your mouse is a neat finish, well done. You do like your books Margaret. I'm still working my way through the Poldark books again - this time on my Kindle. (I'm also re-watching it on DVD at the same time).
Such an adorable finish!
I love your pile of books. Mine is irresponsibly spread across the floor of my bedroom. There is a path to get around, but the slightest deviation results in falls over books lol
Your mouse turned out great!
And, ouch on the fine. I always feel terrible when I have a late library book. Speaking of which, I have one due on Tuesday!
Lovely little mouse.
I used to get library fines quite often (only a day or two late). The librarian told me that I could phone and renew the books but I said "That way the telephone company makes money out of me, this way you make money!" I look upon it as a contribution to the local library LOL.
Cute mouse!
Despite having an app for renewing my library books I still forget to do it and end up with fines. I need another one that will remind me when they are due!
Unfortunately, I contribute to my library's coffers more often than is decent, but I console myself with the thought that it hopefully buys more books.
