I received an impromptu lesson on the spinning wheel today. I was excited.  It is a technique I would have to practice if I wanted to be at all effective at it.

I’m pretty sure I look adorable doing it;) Thanks to Tammy for giving me her guidance.   This wool/flax blend would be great for a utilitarian apron or market bag.  I can’t wait until this years flax harvest is ready to become linen fibre.  The harvest I helped with.  It would mean a lot to me to be involved in the production of garments.

So much fun!

This is another thriller, a ghost story.  A room at the top of the stairs holds a mystery…Doesn’t that grab you?!  It grabbed my attention all the way through the book with a surprise ending.  A mother and wife dealing with the sudden death of her father got more than she bargained for when she attempts to come to terms with her dad’s passing and trys to find out what happened the night he died.  Check it out, if you’re in the mood to be scared.  Creepy cover…

This House is Haunted by John Boyne

I think I was ready to delve into a thriller when I read this book a few weeks ago.  It caught my attention, a much needed distraction from my constantly thinking brain.  I’m a fan of hauntings and things that go “bump” in the night.  Set in 1867, in the voice of Eliza Caine, a young women dealing with grief and a new position as a governess.  She searches for the truth, like a dog with a bone.  Just my kinda girl;)
