Janet Chapman's Spellbound Falls series continues.
Nicholas, the mythical Atlantean warrior ( you'll never guess who his real father is! ) chooses to settle in 21st century Maine, inadvertently falls for Julia, a recently divorced 30 year old who doesn't want love, just wants to help her sister turn 18 and go off to college. But seriously who wouldn't fall for a gorgeous warrior who has six exotic cats? and a Phantom horse??
To read what really pissed me off at the end is not a plot spoiler but a partial spoiler :
It's not really round, and apparently gluing is something that takes more skills than I have - but it didn't fall apart when I hung it on the Angie's door. SO that's a win!
If I'm honest, it was supposed to be a blinking hat. But my crochet skills aren't that great, and my head is big. So it will be my tree topper instead. I crocheted in blinking LED lights into the brim - made a pocket in the back for the control pack and batteries. Sigh.
Colorful Crochet Lace. I got the book from the new arrivals list from the library. There are a lot of gorgeous garments in this book. I don't have the crochet skills to pull them off, it would take me forever to crochet 100yds of yarn, and reading lace charts is confusing to me. I liked one of the bags, but I seem to have gone to making a new felted bag every year to not really using handbags in general, so that won't happen either.
I got this book from the library also, for Curt and I to flip through to see potential stops in our travels. I wrote some of them down - didn't know River Horse had moved.. good to look at before a road trip!
Yes, My Accent is Real by Kunal Nayyar (Raj from The Big Bang Theory)
I really enjoyed reading this book. It's not a typical autobiography, but it does take us through time from the one thing he remembers about England, through India, the Us, The Big Bang Theory. It's basically a bunch of quick little blurbs - a few pages usually about different events through his life. I was voting for it in the Goodreads book contest, but it ended up being second :(
We survived the Turkey Trot. I was woefully unprepared this year, but only 2 minutes off my time last year so better than I thought. Anna, Joe and Christopher just made an appearance because they were headed to Joe's mom's house. I will tell you that this gym class my mom has been making them take Christopher to is really helping him.
Yes, that is the Tony Stewart monkey I gave him when he was born.
