Stitching Therapy

I read a lot...often crime/thriller/suspense but once in a while I read a book that moves me.  It is in keeping with this blog...

The Knitting Circle by Ann Hood

The story really pulled on my heart strings - how simply keeping ones hands busy is a form of therapy to deal with grief and disappointment.  Give it a read it's well worth it, even if it means shedding a tear or two. 
My neighbour is wonderfully stitchy and we meet up with the beginnings of a little group, I am hoping she will help me learn to crochet this year (Nudge nudge if you are reading this;-) ). This is the year to discover my crafty side.

On a lighter note, the chart I've been working on for my darling mum is complete and I love it. Not the clearest picture will try to get another one ....ta da....

 

Simple Life - Jardin Prive

The darling youth in the family have started the year on a social note, thus I have become the Party taxi ferrying them from one party to another. Great fun all round. We have the little ladies big day looming need to get cracking on that. Also she has her first dance exam early February so big start to the year...

Always stitching....
