A rainy week

Oops! I wrote my sewing content on the wrong blog.

I updated this on 'singreadsew' but will leave this one as a reminder to pay attention to what I'm doing.

It was a rainy week. At school the flu was going around but so far has not gotten me.

I needed a quick project. The mini quilt below was based on a mini I saw online.

I had a mini charm pack that I wanted to use as half square triangles.

The wolf was fussy cut from a fat quarter.

I'm calling this "The Gunniwolf" for a favorite story students like to act out.

Slowly making progress on the March Girl.

I can watch TV and stitch.

What have you been up to this week?

What I'm reading in February

Trying to get back to my stated purpose for this blog.

Here are two of my library books.

I just finished the Alex Cross book. Always an interesting read.

I only found one Grantchester Mystery in our library system. I really enjoy the show on PBS.

I'll let you know if the book is as good as the show.

This little Jade plant is going to be added to my succulent garden if it warms up this week end.

At one time I had a really big old Jade plant. Mr. M. gave this to me for Valentines.

My favorite flowers - the kind that are picked out of the yard.

Martin picked these at mom's house.

Sorry about the background clutter.

This is how we live.

What I'm reading since the holidays

Even though I haven't posted here since October, I have been reading lots of books.

Some are pictured below.

I read some adult John Grisham and then switched to his kid series.

There are only a few titles and they are all good. Similar to Hardy Boys but more interesting.

I recommend to any young adult reader of mysteries.

I bought the two books below when we were in NYC visiting the grandsons.

Set in the roaring twenties and written by a NYC resident, both are good reads with the same characters. They reminded me of the Australian Miss Fisher Mysteries.

For a final photo for this post - Paperwhites, also known as Narcissus.

Love how they look in the winter garden.
