my creative space

After a few weeks of circles, I really needed to get back to squares. I didn’t have anything particular in mind. I just grabbed this little basket of wool that I use for wrapping packages and started making grannies. I’m thinking it will be a bookmark. I need a new one for my summer reading. Speaking of which, look what I happened to spy at the library today: three of my favorite Rs! After just flipping through the pages, I’m already in love.
Check out other creative spaces that you’re sure to love over at Kirsty’s blog.
question: I check out a ton of books from the library on sewing, knitting, crocheting, and vintage/cottage style. I never thought to write reviews of them on my blog, but it just occurred to me that maybe someone out there might be interested. If you are, let me know. I’d love to share some of my favorite books with you!

Yes! books are one of my favourite addictions and I love recommendations. How good is the library?! I don’t know of many other addictions you can feed for free.

Yes, please! Would love to read book reviews on any sewing or crafting books. Thank you!
Just attended a weekend event where we had a speaker encourage us to go green in our lives. I loved her enthusiasm, and believe that recycling, re-thinking and re-using is something we should all be teaching to our children.
