I love deadlines. I need one looming over my head to really be productive, which is why I always love Once Upon a Thread. I have all these books with ideas and often they never have a chance to actually be created because, well, you know how life gets in the way.
I've wanted to make Dana's (MADE) Rollie Pollie pattern for many months and finally had that deadline grinning it's wily teeth at me. In fact I made not just one, but two!(do you like our make-shift fire? it was in the 80s this day!)
But with that procrastination that often holds hands with my deadlines, I didn't have enough filler for both, and didn't have time to order some more.
We don't have very much furniture in our house, but we love to curl up every night with our books. Often the whole width of the fireplace is filled with library books to choose from. We probably keep the library in business with all the late fees we tend to pay.
So I dreamed of having a Rollie Pollie for the kids to enjoy their literary treasures. Mighty comfy, wouldn't you say? I think I might have to make 2 jumbo ones for Ryan and me.
Want to make your very own Rollie Pollie? Dana is generously offering 4 of her patterns to no big dill readers!

I always curl up on the couch to do my reading!
ReplyDeleteIn my dreams I have a little window seat in an attic that overlooks a huge green lawn and mountains. But in reality I curl up wherever I think my kids won't find me for a few minutes! katiek7411 at hotmail dot com
ReplyDeleteWe do most of our reading on the couch in front of the fireplace or in our beds, but we've got books in every room. BTW, I am constanty impressed with your productivity while taking care of six kids. I've only got two and I'm nowhere near as productive. But I am trying! kristie_keely(at)yahoo(d0t)com

ReplyDeleteI would love to win one of the patterns.
ReplyDeleteI love to read. I would love to read all day long and I hope one day, I can teach that love to the children in my life as well. This includes not only my family, but also my students. I will be an elementary teacher in just a few years and hopefully I can inspire my students.
And the rollie pollie will be fantastic in my classroom.
I enjoy romances and fantasy the most, but I like other things as well.
Thanks for the chance to win this.

ReplyDeleteUm, yes, I would love to make a Rollie Pollie for my kids to sit by the fireplace on. They would love to read books sitting on one of those.

ReplyDeleteThe "Time Out Chair" is the place the kids like the least, but I like the light there for reading in the afternoon--if I'm not on the hammock "supervising" the kids in the pool. I think even I could make that bean bag, thanks for the giveaways today--they're awesome.
ReplyDeleteon my bed... or the couch. but this- this looks amazing for reading!!
ReplyDeleteMe too, I love to read, if I have time. I like to fall asleep with a book in my hand, or in the living room, I have a cozy big polystirol filled pillow ( a simple Rollie Pollie), which is always under natural light during the day. But I would like to try Dana's RP too.

I like to do my reading in the living room, on my comfy leather couch with a standard lamp beside me to aid my reading. My feet up on a footstool are toasty in cosy boot slippers and my fake fur blanket envelopes me. Ideally it is Autumn outside with browns and orange leaves and it is just cold enough to have the fire on. If I have set aside proper reading time then a cup of tea and a couple of chocolate digestives might be beside me too.
ReplyDeleteI really want to read a book right now.

My favourite place is in my bed with a lot of pillows to be able to change my position as often as I want to. A bottle of water nearby, so I don't have to get up if I get thirsty. Or a cup of tea and now, in winter, perhaps some cookies...

I prefer to read snuggled up on the floor in front of the fireplace with pillows, a throw quilt, and sometimes my four littles littered about... and often even the big ole pup.

It seems like these days I do most of my reading in the chair in my daughter's room. We read her stories, of course, but it is wonderful and I wouldn't have it any other way. When I am able I squeeze a few pages in at night as I lie in bed before I am forced to close my eyes.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite places to read are either snuggled up under a quilt reading to my kiddos, or anywhere quiet (if I'm reading a book for myself)

Oh I would love one of these patterns! My daughter has been begging for one of these chairs for a YEAR. I keep refusing to buy one...but make one? YES!
ReplyDeleteWhere I prefer to do my reading is very different from where I actually do my reading. I would prefer while in a nice long hot bath. Or snuggled on the couch with my hubs while he reads. BUT I mostly read next to my youngest daughter's bed for night time stories or in my own bed for a few stolen minutes before I fall asleep.

I would sling my legs slung over one arm, curve my body in the seat and a cup of tea on the other armrest. When my daughter was born, it was the place we read together. Sadly, after almost 20 years in my home, my red chair did not survive our last move. I am now in search of the perfect replacement!

Thank you!
The bathtub! Peace and quiet and little chance of being distracted: the perfect place to read.

I will honestly read anywhere. Standing on the subway, sitting on the couch, laying in bed.

My FAVORITE spot to read is in my mama's plush rocking chair...but since that's 300 miles away, I'll say my bed. I'd love a rollie pollie to read in! katiefewell(at)gmail(dot)com
ReplyDeletei love to do my readings in a comfy chair outside in daylight the most

I love to read on the front porch swing, but when winter chases me inside, there's nothing like curling up in a over-sized armchair! Thanks for the chance to win.

I usually read on the couch or the rocking chair holding a sleeping babe.

Wherever I can find 5 minutes of peace (which usually means in the bathroom!)

I prefer to do my reading in bed...without the distraction of the television!

I have been wanting to make this! Yay! Um... I love reading in my son's rocking chair before his naptimes and bedtime. SO fun! Thanks for the chance to win! auberella (at) yahoo (d0t) com
ReplyDeleteI read mostly in bed, after the kids are finally down for the night I love to crawl under the covers and grab my book. Love reading, love Dana's patterns!

My 3 yr old still likes to read on my lap in his PBK chair. It's a bit crammed now w the two of us so something bigger would suite us great! Thanks! escarter7 at gmail dot com.
ReplyDeleteCurled up on the rocking chair with a soft blanket and warm up of something.
ReplyDeletei cozy up in my bed.. nothing like a few moments on your own.

I used to love to read on our porch swing to my boys when they were small. My favorite time was when there was a gentle rain falling and we would cuddle and swing. Those memories will always stay with me.

I love to read in the middle of our bed, with one child on each side of me. It's my favorite time of the day.
ReplyDeleteCool giveaway! I like to read in bed, but I get so uncomfortable in bed now that I'm pregnant. So I just read wherever I can, as long as it's comfortable :)

For myself, I like to read on the couch with a blanket, but for the kids we like to hunker down in one of their beds, or in the corner of the playroom, surrounded by pillows, blankets and whatever favorite stuffed animals the three of them like that day. I LOVE Dana's blog and making one of the rollie pollies has been on my list of things to make someday for quite some time. I'd love a pattern! fullerct03(at)att(dot)net
ReplyDeleteI'd LOVE a rollie pollie pattern...I've been thinking of it for months! I love to read in bed...

ReplyDeleteMy favorite place to read is in bed. Especially on a cold winter night!

In bed or a big comfy chair!
ReplyDeleteI usually read in bed, but I dream of one day having a recliner or rolie polie to read in. :)
ReplyDeleteI love reading so I could probably read anywhere. My bed usually ends up as the spot of choice, however.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
