All Things Cease to Appear

Author: Elizabeth Brundage

 

Right from the beginning you know there has been a murder. The rest of the book tells the background story and, in the end, leaps ahead several years. Although you always know who the killer is there is no proof. It was disappointing that there were no consequences to the murderer.

Making a List

Saturday, November 18, 2017

I’ve made a list of everything that needs to be done before I leave for Saskatoon. As you can see it isn’t a short list. I was happy to be able to cross one thing off that list today and, with any luck, I’ll cross another one off tonight.

 

It fits in perfectly

Friday, November 17, 2017

My new desk fits in perfectly – in fact I think I have more space than I did before; mind you not all of my “stuff” has been put back yet. I worked on the Cranberry Hall minutes yesterday afternoon and I had space for all the paper without it covering the keyboard or having to sort it out on the floor! I scored a new chair too – it’s on wheels so I can easily whip around to the filing cabinet. I think while everything is out I may try getting rid of a bunch of stuff (mostly yarn) that I never use. I’d love to pass it to Emma but the mailing costs are so high I’d be better off letting her buy new. If I can’t find anyone in the Facebook groups that want it I’ll donate it to one of the thrift stores.

I’ve had another lovely day of sewing – on my own this time! I’m almost ready to do the hand stitching on some Christmas projects. I’ve had my Christmas music playing as I work and I’m enjoying myself.

Pat took the ferry across to the studio this afternoon. I plan to live in my PJs for the better part of the next couple of days – I have someone coming to the house on Sunday so I’m going to have to get dressed at some point!

Back to work!

More stitching with friends

Thursday, November 16, 2017

For almost a full week I’ve been sewing either in groups of friends or with at least one friend. I’m amazed that I’m not tired of it by now. It is a Guild demo night and for the past couple of years the demos have been “hands-on”. We’re making pillow cases tonight. I’ve made them before so I’m hoping that I’ll be able to keep up with the group. At the last demo I didn’t do so well; by the time I arrived at the hall some folks were already half-finished. I’ll get there early and hopefully have a finish by the time I come home – there are no zippers involved tonight so I stand a chance!
