Another book that I have read is "You Don't Know Me" by Susan May Warren.  Another Christian romance  and mystery writer, this book will keep you in suspense!  Part of me wanted the main character to admit her secrets to her husband to get it over with but I loved how it all worked out.  I have read other books by Susan and really enjoyed them!!

You Don't Know Me (Deep Haven, #6)
I love to read!  I found a summer reading program through Tyndale and after reading the books that they list, you have to write a review to get credit.  So I would like to share the first book I read, "Band Of Sisters" by Cathy Gohlke.  I really enjoyed the story - it evoked lots of emotions and is Christian based with some romance and mystery - all my favs.  I love to read stories that have historical info in them and this one definitely did.  Plus the main character was from Ireland - I am part Irish!!  I highly recommend this book.

Latest project:  New Sewing Room!!!

My husband and son helped me move all my sewing things to the "bonus" room above the garage.  We had it finished when we built the house but never put carpet in.  We have been using it for storage and so I started cleaning it out and organizing.  I forgot to take some before pictures until today.  

  
I have a very old Sauder cabinet that I removed the doors and painted completely black.  The other cabinet is one my husband's grandpa made me to store craft supplies on.  It is in the process of being painted.  Both of these will go to the end of the room near the window.


Here is my sewing table.  I am hoping to have some work done on it so that the machine will lay even with the top of the table.  You can see patches of the new color I am painting on the walls.  Not for sure about the color yet; that is why there are small areas done.

 

Here is the inspiration for the wall color but I am not sure I got it quite the same.  My color looks too blue on my wall.

Would love to hear your thoughts and I will keep posting updates as I go along.  Thanks!
