finish the quilt and therefore am ashamed to post. Well, now it's been so
long who cares? I WILL finish the quilt - I was determined to in the 12
hour car trip to New Mexico and then again in the 400 hour trip to
Virginia (I rounded up on that one - it SEEMS like that long), but I was
in reading mode and the creating hit the wayside. Don't think for one
minute that I didn't pack everything to work on though - yes siree I did take
up all that space!
Oh, well. I will post my new fav books so that you will have some reward
for coming to my blog. . .
The Glass Castle, a delightful memoir that will make
you feel better about any parenting mistakes you
might have made.
Waiting for Snow in Havana tells the story of Cuba
from the viewpoint of child growing up there during
Castro's rise to power. Wow! The language is a little
rougher than I like, but the real life story will amaze you!
Best-for-last scenario. This book takes a look at the Parable of the Two Sons and explains why God himself is prodigal. Really made me think. . .
Prodigal God by Timothy Keller.
I just started the Prodigal Son. Good to see the recomendation.
ReplyDeleteYea, you are alive!! Can't wait to see the quilt when you are done. You always inspire me!! I've taken on a project, myself.. writing a cookbook, but it's going to have stories too. I'm excited but I've only started... :)
ReplyDeleteThe Glass Castle is one of my very favorite books. Of the ones I read so far THIS year. =) I can't seem to grasp that it was a true story. What a fascinating life.
ReplyDeleteLisa... I didn't know that you had a blog. I am so glad you commented on mine so that I could come look here. I love to make things with fabric and paper as well and have loved looking at you and your friends' creations. I had no idea we shared that interest. I am hoping now that the girls are doing mothers day out two days a week I might get a shot at starting some of my scrapbooking hopes, among other things. Love and miss you!
