Yarn along ...a bit late

Joining in with  Ginny's yarn along.

Does needle-felting count? I hope so.....

Still working on Three hares wall hanging and reading Village of Secrets.

  1. Is that book fiction or non-fiction? I love anything written about that period in history! Happy crafting and reading!

    1. It's non-fiction and very full of detail. The density of information has made it not the easiest of reads and it definitely shows people at their worst and best. It is definitely. a book that is on the historically accurate retelling of a time in history rather than a simple exciting read. see here for a more articulate review :o)

  2. I love your needle felting. The design is amazing!
    I like the photo of your cats, too!

  3. Thanks Pat, Now I'm puzzling what to do with the edges...that's the catch with making it up as you go along......hopefully inspiration will strike soon!

  4. The WW2 France book appeals to me too. I'll see if the county library catalogue has it.

    1. To be truthful I found it hard going Cath..but that well could be my fault not the book. I can wholeheartedly recommend these three "Nancy Wake" by Russell Braddon , "The Past is Myself" by Christabel Bielenberg and "War in Val d'Orca" by Iris Origo all Non Fiction WW2
      for WW1 I seem to remember enjoying "The Escaping Club" by AJ Evans which I think is free on Gutenberg

  5. Love those hares! Think I'll give the book a miss, though. I'm still gearing myself up to read Max Hastings' Catastrophe which was a Christmas present.

  6. Some books do need you to be in the right mood don't they...the trouble with me is sometimes that mood never arrives....oh dear

from an old gravestone

If you hold your nose to the Grindstone
and you leave it there long enough,
Then soon you'll say
there's no such things
as brooks that babble
and birds that sing,
these three will all your world compose,
just you, the stone and your poor old nose.

(from memory so may not be word perfect)
