Class

I took a class on building a webpage and really liked it. It teaches you to use the HTML language and how to post pages on the internet. It is amazing how much is on the internet that we don't know about. There is a free program that will check your webpage for errors and another program, also free, that will scramble your e-mail address so that a robot can't read it.

I took a second class on writing for the web. I am now trying to tighten up my sentence structure which isn't easy. Both classes were through Virtual University. I hope that I will soon be able to link my blog with the webpage. However there is still a lot of work to be done on it. At this time, it just has my class assignments on it but someday...

Yarn

I spent quite a bit of time last night winding a skein of yarn. Usually this is a chore I enjoy but this time the yarn was in short lengths so it took forever. I'm not sure why this happened, I have two skeins of this yarn and the first skein was fine and wound into a ball.

We are getting ready for a spring bazaar in Grants Pass. This will be our first bazaar so hope we are ready for it. I am making felted lambs and baby bootees.

I have been reading the Gresham series by Lawana Blackwell, there are three books and all three have been totally enjoyable. I think I like the first one best, it was more about the family and the last two romances but all three of them are really good.

Books

I have been reading The courtship of the Vicar's Daughter the continuing saga of the Gresham Chronicles by Lawana Blackwell. I read the first in the series: The Widow of Larkspur Inn and just loved it. I think I'm going to really enjoy this book too.

I finished the sweater for my daughter's birthday. It is chocolate brown so did not photograph that well, however here is the one I made in raspberry. This is an excellent pattern.
