UKQU BOOK CLUB 8 years, 2 months agoI like the idea of option 1. If we have different book series posted or just book titles etc I am bound to get lost and miss interesting titles. Of course I will go with the flow as they say. 😀📔

Still finding this site very frustrating but just wanted to say I have read The Last Runaway and found it a good read. Not saying much else as don’t want to spoil it for others and also think I am supposed to put my review elsewhere if only I could work out how todo it

Let’s hope the spring is finally here (no more snow please!) It’s so nice to open the doors and windows in the house for more than just 5 minutes to get some fresh air and new energy in. Before we dive into…

Good idea Vendulka, tomorrow’s job

Oh how I wish…! I have a sewing room and a crafting room. My crafting room is more planned than the sewing room, but one of my stepsons came back to live with us last year, and I said he could use the crafting room for storage short term…obviously we have different ideas about what short term actually is. I have been trying to finish off WIPs and PHDs recently, including getting projects hung in the home, and I finished a quilt top 3 weeks ago that I’ve been working on, on and off, for 6 years. Problem now is finding the time to quilt it! I’d love to get going in my sewing room today, but alas, work calls!
