Books



I love books, what would I ever do without books! Today I will list a few of my favorites.

  • Lord of the Rings, which I put on my blog as my favorite book is indeed my favorite book(s).I like this series because I loooove fantasy, I love escaping into a different world, the Shire, Rivendelle, Gondor, Minas Tirith (don't know if I'm spelling them right or not :}) I like Elves and Dwarfs especially.
  •  The Giver quartet is awarded second best, it is also fantasy but not quite as far away from real life as Lord of the Rings, all the different ideas of "elsewhere" are interesting.
I am listening to Narnia right now, an unabridged audio book, I like it a lot, it is also fantasy, lol, if you have watched the movie (as most of my friends have) they leave out A LOT! there is actually like three different parts that they didn't make movies of, anyway, it's about a no. of children that (at different times) unexpectedly end up in Narnia, sometimes with a magic ring other times through a wardrobe.(the picture that goes to Narnia is the top one.)

Harvest Party Costume (yes...ikikik...im super late)

Image
So lately I have been finding myself obsessed with anything WWII and 1940s...so naturally I was overly excited about dressing up for our annual Harvest Party (we don't do Halloween). After many ideas that came and went, I finally settled on "WWII agent", and ideas and grand plans started whirling around my head immediately, Goodwill here I come.      I started by combing every Goodwill store for suits that would match this particular time period. I came up with a beautifully colored pant suit, which fit me well enough.   Of course I should also mention that I don't wear pants...ugh...first road block.  The transforming of the slacks into a pencil skirt was perfect, and after many adjustings and slips to cover up unseemly lines and lumps, we did it!! The shoes...ah...the shoes...this is a very long story, but to shorten it I will just say that I had been looking for them for months, I wanted a pair that were nice, American made, non 3 inch heele

things for young ladies to do on a cold winter day

this is a close up picture of my knitting. In Grandmas Attic. I enjoyed reading Beverly Cleary to.  I also enjoyed this series of books, mama read these aloud to us when we where little, I loved them a lot, these books are full of adventure that girls of all ages will love. this is a series of books every girl or boy should read. this is what I have been working on for quite a long time, it's a scarf for one of my best friends (Melinda).  This is my knitting bag, it is supposed to be a purse but I don't like soft purses.     My great aunt made this monkey doll for me, and I made the apron. I got this in a kit, it came with paint, it was hard to put together, and fun to  paint.
