Have a great trip! xx<br />Lyndahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05372513528828334944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2967502976418632583.post-48994818450342191322020-02-10T01:54:12.904+11:002020-02-10T01:54:12.904+11:00I will look up a granny square pattern.

I know the only time I will have to work on the project would be on the plane ride. The rest of our trip should be quite full. My husband and I are heading with a small group from our church denomination to Liberia to visit a school started for women that teaches them a skill in order to support their families (Tailoring, catering, soapmaking, etc). I'm quite excited for the trip. I am looking forward to seeing how God uses us, two pretty regular people, to assist in some small way with helping this project multiply to other areas.<br />I don't think we're too particular at all in book selection...we just know what we like!

Thankyou for the birthday wishes :)
Th...Hi Bekah!<br /><br />Thankyou for the birthday wishes :)<br /><br />The crocheted squares are just the standard granny square. If you google it you should find a pattern easily enough. I am using 8ply yarn and a 4mm crochet hook. Doing 6 rounds in the solid colour (blues/greens) and 1 round in brown. Just using up yarn I have here.<br /><br />I've sort of given up on the library for now, although I do have 2 books to pick up that I had reserved previously. I find I bring them home and then don't read them. I understand what you are saying about unlikeable characters and storylines. Maybe we are just too particular :) <br />I find older books more agreeable. Am reading Heidi at the moment. And I am allowing myself to still buy second hand books.<br /><br />Enjoy your travels... xxLyndahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05372513528828334944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2967502976418632583.post-62393908377239514362020-02-09T02:34:56.262+11:002020-02-09T02:34:56.262+11:00It sounds as if you had a wonderful birthday week!...It sounds as if you had a wonderful birthday week! Not buying books for a month would be a difficult challenge for me. Whenever I head into the library, I tend to pick up one or two for a dollar from their little used bookstore stand. Lately I haven't had a good book to read which is strange. Usually I have too many. The last two books I have started ended up having unlikeable characters or a storyline that I didn't like where it was going.<br /> <br />Do you have a pattern for your crochet squares? We have a long trip coming up this week, and I would like a small project to pack along. Your little blanket looks like the perfect project for traveling with!<br />Happy Birthday!Bekahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13754928087284914439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2967502976418632583.post-39517872374520219932020-02-08T16:55:47.144+11:002020-02-08T16:55:47.144+11:00Thanks Lisa!

Like mother...like daughter :))<br /><br />Not sure what her other reasons were. Will try and remember to ask her. I'll be interested to hear what you think if you get to see it.<br /><br />The Zookeeper... is on the shelf. I know they also made a movie of it, but have not seen it. xx<br />Lyndahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05372513528828334944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2967502976418632583.post-12033249510165433822020-02-08T13:36:42.176+11:002020-02-08T13:36:42.176+11:00Happy Birthday, Lynda. :) I love seeing your lun...Happy Birthday, Lynda. :) I love seeing your lunches - but what is that restaurant one? I haven't seen Little Women yet, but you're the first person I've heard to say they were disappointed. And Marnie! A different generation, but she still didn't love it. Were her reasons the same as yours? A conservative magazine I read praised it, so I expect I'll like it, but I also expect the "statement making" part of it - it seems impossible to avoid. <br />That's a great fabric selection you got! The Zookeeper's Wife has been on my radar for a while - some day, hopefully. Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12503930255842185609noreply@blogger.com
