Hi friends.  I recently just finished reading The Mystery Of Lucy and the Dark Woods by D. Diana Kosmoski.  This is the first book that Diana has written and the book is about the adventures of a young girl living on a farm who is able to see things that others cannot.  It's about the difficulties Lucy faces throughout her life and the story takes you from Pennsylvania to Florida to the Midwest.  This book is suspenseful and a page turner and I could not put this book down.  This makes a great summer read and I highly recommend it.

I do not want to give away the whole story but if you would like to read this book it's available through Amazon.  Diana also has a lovely blog called Nana Diana Takes a Break.

I recently just finished reading the book Nights of Rain and Stars by Maeve Binchy.  I'd love to share with you a little bit about this book.

Hi friends, I'm excited to say that I finally finished reading the book Rose Harbor in Bloom by Debbie Macomber.  This is my first book that I finished reading in 2015 and it feels great.


This book was a delight to read and it is the second book in the Rose Harbor Series.  This series is set in Cedar Cove, Washington town of Pugent Sound.  It's about a war widow who owns a Bed-and-Breakfast and about the lives of two of her guests who come to stay at her inn.  One guest is just getting over a broken wedding engagement and the other guest has cancer and has a secret for staying in Cedar Cove.  Each person is healing in their own way at this inn and it is a love story too.

This book is a light read and I highly recommend it.  To read more about this book you can click here.

Have you read any Debbie Macomber books lately?

I just started reading Nights of Rain and Stars by Maeve Binchy.



It may take me a while to read this book since I mostly read in the evenings so stay tuned.

Hi friends, I hope you all had a Happy Halloween.  I gave a out so much candy and I enjoyed looking at all the little kids in their cute costumes.  I even dressed up my dog Bosco as a pumpkin. I was so good, I only ate 3 pieces of candy!  

I am on a book roll right now and I finished reading this book And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie a while back.  I really loved this book and it was recommended to me by daughter.  My daughter had to read this book for school so I decided to give it a try.  

Hi friends, I'm happy to say that I accomplished reading a book this summer.

I started reading back in the beginning of July the book The Paris Wife by Paula McLain.

Let me explain why it's been so long since I have read a book.  I love reading books but I don't seem to have much time to read anymore due to family, crocheting, knitting and blogging and watching TV!

I promised myself for the summer that I would read one book and finish it.  It felt really good to be reading again and I didn't want the book to end because I was enjoying it so much.  Lol!  






If you have not read the book yet I highly recommend it.  To quickly sum up the book, it's about Ernest Hemingway and his wife Hadley Richardson and their life in Paris in the 1920's. 

I just started reading the book AND THEN THERE WERE NONE by Agatha Christie.  I love mystery books and this looks like it will be a good book.  This book was recommended to me to read by my daughter who had to read this book for school. 

I am on a roll right now with reading and I do hope it won't take me a long to finish reading the book.  I will let you know what I thought of it when I'm done reading it.

What book are you reading right now?

Hello friends!  I have finally finished the scarf that I had been knitting and you can see the post HERE where I started working on it.  This is my first finished project for 2014 and it feels great! This scarf will be donated to the Christmas Fair at my church for the fall.  The yarn was supplied for me to use from the knit/crochet group that I belong to at my church.  I like the way the scarf came out and I love the color of this variegated yarn.


I was originally going to make this into an infinity scarf but I was not given enough yarn to work with, only a small skein, so I decided to make it into a regular scarf.  I then added a crocheted edge to the bottom of the scarf to give it a finished look.  I also finally finished reading the book Julie and Romeo by Jeanne Ray and it was a nice light read and totally I enjoyed it.

Hi everyone!  This men's knit scarf is my current project that I was commissioned to make for our annual Christmas Fair which is held every fall at our church.  I'm on a knitting kick right now and I'm giving crocheting a break for a while it seems.  The yarn I'm using is from my own stash and it's Red Heart Classic in the color 365 Coffee.  I'm using a circular knitting needle, size 8 US and I casted on 25 stitches.  I will be making this scarf in the knit stitch and I have not decided yet if I want to add any contrasting colored yarn to the scarf.


I also started reading the book The Book Thief by Markus Zusak.  I saw the movie about 2 weeks ago and I loved it but cried throughout the whole movie because it was so sad.  My daughter had to read this book for school and so she kept urging me to read it and I'm glad I am.

Thanks everyone and enjoy.

Julie

Hello everyone, I hope you all enjoyed Thanksgiving yesterday as much as I did.   I finished the chunky knit scarf that I have been working on.  This will be the perfect scarf to keep you warm.  I made it for our annual Christmas Fair that we had at our church last weekend.  Unfortunately it was not sold, so I will be saving this scarf for the fair for next year.




The yarn I used for this scarf is soft and chunky.  For the details on the yarn I used and the book that I am still reading is Julie and Romeo by Jeanne Ray.  I also decided to make the scarf into a regular scarf at the last minute instead of an infinity scarf.
