Not much has been happening around here this week besides 4h projects and readying things for the fair. I am happy to see that the children are maturing and each year things are easier to get them to do! For instance, knitting and quilting. It still requires a lot of prodding and reminding but this year the knitting was done a day before check-in and the quilt will be too!
A peak at Rachel's project:
One of my projects:
Another project:
And yet another:
I'm re-blocking my pink shawl to put in the fair:
And here is my library stack this week:
Fruitful: Four Seasons of Fresh Fruit Recipes by Nicholson and Huck is a beautiful book all about using seasonal fruits. Can't wait to spend sometime perusing it more!
Forever Music: A Tribute to the Gift of Creativity by Edith Schaeffer is a Schaeffer book I've never read (thanks Brenda for mentioning it!) but how can I resist when the subject is creativity!!!
Sara Midda's South of France: A Sketchbook also caught my eye. I can't remember where I heard about I do love looking through other people's sketchbooks!
Under the Wide and Starry Sky: A Novel by Nancy Horan is nearly finished! Right now Robert Louis Stevenson is at sea on a sailboat called the Casco. I am finding this a very good way to get an idea of what Stevenson's life was like.And now, for more ideas on knitting and reading, visit Ginny's Yarn A Long.

Rachel's shawl is stunning! She's becoming a very accomplished knitter. Just like her mother.
Rachel's shawl IS stunning! Wow! Well done! I'd give her ten blue ribbons!
Beautiful projects!
I came to you by way of Pom Pom. I am so glad to see your list of reads. Love Robert Louis Stevenson and at one time could recite all his Child's Garden of Verse by heart (my grandmother was a teacher).
Sara Midda, who wrote the lovely South of France Journal, has another charming, charming little journal being released soon. Her publisher is Workman (same as mine) and I got a little peek into the book. It is lovely.
I am impressed by the knitting. They look like spiderwebs!
Happy day,
Sharon
Stunning scarves! So beautiful!
Beautiful shawl!
I hope you like Forever Music. :)
Your and your daughter's shawl look so lovely! What are the patterns?
I'm glad for the book recommendations, as well - off to see if our library has any of them.
