SUNDAY....NEW YEAR'S EVE.....

Well, it's New Year's Ever.....again.  I'm going to stay home...which I always do anyway, but I'm going to be working on my pillowcases and reading today.  The pillowcase I'm working on is a set I picked up a few years ago and stuck them in a drawer.  One is almost done.
As for what I'll be reading...The Backyard Parables by Margaret Roach.  Hoping to get some ideas for a garden I'm working on.  We'll see....

  1. I must read Everything Everything...and I like seeing the Sue Grafton books on your list. She will be missed!

    I also enjoyed Lillian Boxfish Takes a Walk.

    Have a great day...and Happy New Year! Thanks for visiting my blog.

  3. Thanks for the list of books to check into! I need to start reading more and being on Facebook less. That is my goal for 2018. Hope you have a Happy and Healthy New year.

  4. You made really good use of the library so a great example for me, I am joining the challenge for this year (already 2018 here!) and while I put 24 I hope to go beyond that.

    Love the embroidery on the pillow slip.

  7. Wow, you’re so talented. Loved your pillowcase. Gorgeous. Glad to hear you had a wonderful reading year as well. I’m not good with book challenges. That’s why I don’t participate in any.
    Happy New Year. Have a wonderful 2018. 😁❤️

  8. Ah embroidery - what a mindful way to start the New Year. It reminds me of my unfinished projects too.
    I'm glad you're joining the Outdo Yourself Reading Challenge this year too. Good luck with it.
    Have a wonderful 2018, Sherrie.

  9. Your pillowcase is coming along nicely. It is so very pretty. I am amazed at the number of books that you read this past year. I am lucky to get through one a month during the school year. There is just too much extraneous work and crafting to be done. I do love to read though. Happy New Year.
