Books and Things
So . . . It has been a while. What have I been doing with myself? I read two books The Harvester by Gene Stratton-Porter (which I recommend if you like long descriptions of the outdoors – and romance literature as meant by the old use of the word) and The Friday Night Knitting Club by Kate Jacobs. The latter is a tale of several women whose lives become knitted together (pun intended) as they meet together to knit – and find themselves sharing their lives. My opinion: these women need God, and they don't have Him. So you can guess that their lives are rather messed up. And in spite of the author's "women overcoming/sisterhood" slant, they remain messed up, although the "world" will say they have it all together at the end. To me, what was meant to inspire and be up-beat was sadly depressing.
I finished another pair of socks for myself and have started a pair for my great-niece (who has outgrown already the last pair I made her). I still need to go back to the yarn shop for black sock yarn. Christmas is drawing nearer every day.
My ideas for the next quilt challenge are simmering on the back burner of my mind (anyone smell smoke?). A friend suggested a Twenty-third psalm theme (think I mentioned that already?) and I am looking for the right quilt blocks with that idea in mind. I have a tree block, a house block (which doesn't really fit, in my opinion), and "sun over the mountain" block. I'm considering an appliqué sheep block (can't find a pieced one). Which brings me back to the house – what to replace it with? Still thinking. Maybe a "path" block of some sort, or a cup overflowing?
The rest of this month is "dr. apt." month! Why do they all hit at about the same time? All just regular check up type, thankfully.
Tonight is writer's group in Louisville. : )
