Changing Weather a Book Share Sashiko

   Good Afternoon Tuesday,

         Thought I would pop in with a post to say Hi and to share a book I just finished.

I don't share many books as we all have different reading interests, however this book really moved me so decided to share. It was listed in one of the email book lists that I either got from Amazon or another one and was on sale at the time.

    . This is set in the era of World War 2 which I can relate to as my parents lived through this time period. My Mom would share about the food rations, and my father served in this war as did my husband's father.. My father worked the bombs in the back of the planes and Larry's father was a pilot for these bombers-I often wondered if they ever crossed paths.

   

  This was so well written with very developed characters. It moved a little slow in spots and I did cry in spots. too. The ending was worth the read for me. The common thread was the bookstore.

   Our weather here is still very up and down-very cold and then jumps up to 90 plus F degrees, and then drops down cold again-a very unusual spring so far.

 I am still slow stitching on the third bag-for some reason the area I am stitching in now the stitches are very small so taking longer. Next area back to larger stitches for sure.  For a break I bought another sashiko piece. I need to see if I can mark a pattern on to cloth to stich as it would save me money but I am never good at that.

    This is the one I am working on now-This is again a cotton linen mix and can be sewn into a pillow or cut in half and framed-my walls are mostly filled so another pillow. Decided to stitch this one in the traditional indigo blue thread

    Next 90 degree day-coming up soon this week-will take a walk around the property and start picking up sticks from the trees here-and check for rocks as well Missouri Ozarks is full of rocks everywhere.

Enjoy your week
