Alright, ready for some more book reading ideas??  I have kept track of the books I have been reading and will post some of my favs.

1. Flame of Resistance by Tracy Groot

Historical fiction with romance!  Set during WWII in France during Nazi occupation, Brigette Durand turns her home into a brothel to survive.  She is determined to help the Resistance.  An American fighter pilot is shot down and because he looks German, the Resistance uses him to infiltrate Brigette's German-only brothel.  Will they be caught?  Must read to find out!


2.   The Faithful One by Michelle Chynoweth

This book is a modern-day take on the book of Job from the Bible.  I had a hard time putting this one down.  God is always good and trust-worthy.



3.  Love isn't Suppose to Hurt by Christi Paul

This is her true story of abuse by the hands of her first husband.  I do not usually like to read autobiographies but got this one free.  It was okay.  Some of the events didn't seem to flow - she skipped around a lot.  I am so happy that she was able to get out of the situation and find someone who truly loves her!

  

Our new ottoman - we made!!  I am so excited that we actually did it!!  One of those Pinterest pins that I wanted to do but not sure if I could...Success!



This uses a pallet as the base with foam for padding.  Add a good fabric and legs and Voila!

You can make it any height based on the legs and also how much foam you use.


Looks like I need to do some clipping on the bottom - some batting sticking out!



Special thanks to Jerry S for locating the pallet! :)

Yes, I am still here!  I have been doing other things and also taking care of personal health issues for the past several months.  Maybe one day I will give more information about that here but for now I want to focus on my crafts and other projects.  (I have also done A LOT of reading, so I will try to post some of those for you who need reading inspiration!)  Now to the crafts....

Mini Pencil Bag

This was a fun little project.  But was too little for all my pencils and drawing utensils.

So now I actually am using it for my quilting supplies that I take to places to quilt.  Works great!  And I did make a larger pencil bag!
