Dreaming of weekends for ever ....


 Monday

 


The 100 Day Project:


 Day 34 (will also be a March Found Object item):

 


Day 35:

 


One of the simplest ones to make but people are reacting like "wow" to it. 

Day 36:

 


 I like the denim color with the tan jasper stone and I like the different shapes. 

I met with the beading group on Saturday. I worked on my elephant tapestry. I'm on row 14! 


.... of over 300. Reminder, 76 beads across are a lot of beads. 



 I'm currently reading THE GARDEN OF PROMISES AND LIES by Paula Brackston. 3rd of 4 in  Found Things series.

 


As the bustle of the winter holidays in the Little Shop of Found Things gives way to spring, Xanthe is left to reflect on the strange events of the past year. While she's tried to keep her time-traveling talents a secret from those close to her, she is forced to take responsibility for having inadvertently transported the dangerous Benedict Fairfax to her own time. Xanthe comes to see that she must use her skills as a Spinner if she and Flora are ever to be safe, and turns to the Spinners book for help. It is then that a beautiful antique wedding dress sings to her. Realizing the dress and her adversary are connected in some way, she answers the call. She finds herself in Bradford-on-Avon in 1815, as if she has stepped into a Jane Austen story. Now in Xanthe's time, Fairfax is threatening Xanthe into helping him with his evil doings, and demonstrates all too clearly how much damage he is capable of causing. With Fairfax growing ever more powerful, Xanthe enlists the help of her boyfriend Liam, taking him back in time with her. It is a decision that might just ensure she prevails over her foe, but only by putting her life—and his—on the line.

Published 2020; 321 pages.  I like the premise of this series; I'm not thrilled with her writing style as much - she is so much telling rather than showing.

 Tonight we have Street Outlaws to watch during dinner. I'm making tacos (for him) and taco salad (for me). And I have the Day 37 piece of jewelry to make. I don't know what it will be. Hopefully something simple so I can go to bed.



 Have a good day

 

Much love,
