So much for New Years Resolutions

As you can see, my New Years resolution to blog at least twice a week is a joke.

I finished all my knitting projects for Christmas and got them in the mail although they were a few days late.

We are going to be in a spring bazaar so have been working on the baby shoes by Debbie Bliss and the felted lambs. This is really exciting because it will be such a good opportunity for feedback.

I just finished reading Every Fixed Star by Jane Kirkpatrick and really enjoyed it. Her books are historical fiction based on factual events. They are special, at least to me, because she brings the characters and landscape to life. Even the horses and dogs become an integral part of the story. In this book I felt as if I could get in my car and drive to the area to visit the characters. The people were very real and, as it was set in Oregon, the scenery was easily imagined. I wanted to step in and help Marie search for her husband when he was lost.

I also Murder Walks the Plank by Carolyn Hart. This is another light mystery that was entertaining.

We are going to start making blankets to give in next year's Christmas baskets for children under the age of four. We have some quilters who want to participate with us knitters and crocheters so the project involves several ministry groups.
