It's Wednesday! What are you reading? What are you knitting?
Join in at Yarn Along and let us all know!
The Sea House by Esther Freud is set on an English coastline with desirable beaches and a sleepy village. The main character, Lily, is translating a set of letters circa 1930 from German to English. The author is slowly revealing Lily's life and introducing an interesting set of supporting characters.
So far, I have to say it's an OK read. Perhaps it will become more gripping as I continue along.
The scalloped trim is pinned in place and a few stitches created flowers and grass. The door knob is a white bead and three tiny green and blue beads are the center of each flower. This will continue to be a WIP for a while as I add little touches, windows on the back, vines and flowers, and a butterfly. This is for seven-year-old DGD's November birthday, so I have plenty of time to play with it! Fun!

What a wonderful gift. I hope you will share more pics as you continue along. It's very charming :)
Oh I just love that crochet house. I will be posting my most recent knitting project up next week. Now i'm crocheting a sudoku throw.I'm reading a Terry Prachett children's novel at the moment about a cat called Maurice.
The cottage is adorable. Will it be 3D and stand on its own? Or is it flat? Thanks for the book link - it sounds interesting and something that my mother especially would love. Historical fiction.
Hi Ellen, Thanks for stopping by! The cottage will be flat, a little purse. THE GREATER JOURNEY is history rather than historical fiction, an excellent read!
:)
Precious little cottage!
I'm reading the Postmistress. I'm really enjoying it even though I just finished with the Book Thief which blew me away and is set in the same time...WWII.
Good to see you at Fibers on Friday!!
