I found myself going online to find pictures of the art, architecture and additional background on the fire. I recommend this book. … Continue reading Book Date
Last make of 2018

However, I think only I will notice them. The middle portion of this pattern was an easy two row repeat-perfect … Continue reading Last make of 2018

But, I'm sticking … Continue reading Book Date

A Place for Us unfolds the lives of an Indian-American Muslim family, gathered together in their Californian hometown to celebrate the eldest daughter, Hadia's, wedding - a match of love rather than tradition. It is here, on this momentous day, that Amar, the youngest of the siblings, … Continue reading Book Date

Year of Projects 2018-2019
For the past two years I have really loved participating in the Ravelry group Year of Projects. It is a great way to motivate yourself to finish projects, try something new or difficult and gather inspiration from others posts. I have put things such as "learn to knit socks", "take a sewing class", "refurbish a … Continue reading Year of Projects 2018-2019
