Morning Everyone
WOYWW again! All the excuse I need to post a pic of my desk and then go snooping, with the help of Head Desker, Julia, over at the
Stamping Ground, around other crafter's desk. And, as promised last week, I'll make it brief - well briefer than usual!
Tidyish! Only because I was gone for the day yesterday so no time to craft and make a mess. I've been making Christmas cards for the last week so what you see are the materials needed - boxes of ProMarkers, Christmas themed stamps and paper pads. Under the pile of paper pads is a box of white scraps - essential for stamping. You've probably seen the stuff at the back - it's a more or less permanent feature, as is the latte ... my new addiction!
Before I go here's the book bit:
The Child by Fiona Barton. This book has very mixed reviews on Amazon but I found it a good read. When an old house in London is being demolished, the body of a small child is found buried in the garden. The story doesn't attract much attention to begin with until a journalist, Kate Waters, spots it and was intrigued enough to follow it up. And it slowly becomes clear that the story behind the tiny skeleton was a lot more complicated than anyone would have thought.
Murder Wears Mittens by Sally Goldenbaum is the 12th book in the Seaside Knitters Society series, but the first I've read by this author. I enjoyed this book, not least because it is set in Cape Ann, Massachusetts, albeit a fictitious seaside village, an area I'm familiar with. The story centres round a group of knitters who are able to get inside the head of the deceased, a woman they barely knew, just by chatting together and exchanging experiences, as knitters do! The uncovering of the murderer was very satisfying too.
Heavens, I've somehow managed to finish this post before midday ... a first in a very long time! I'd like to say it means I'm turning over a new leaf but really it's a fluke and next week I'll be back to my usual tardiness. Nice while it lasts though!
Have a great WOYWW and a wonderful week ahead.
