start to finish

I haven't been around much lately.

I've been enjoying, sometimes cold, winter nights by the fire,

a cup of tea, my companion,

a book or two by my side

and a strong desire to put my hands to use.

I've discovered a new array of knitting books at the library

and am resting my crochet hook while I return to the needles for awhile.

My project is almost complete but the wonderful thing about knitting or any craft,

is that there are always a dozen or so more projects waiting to take its place.

The same could be said for books. The title of the book above may suggest I want to

 write one myself but I have enough hobbies to contend with. I simply want to learn to

read more consciously, more fully and although I've just begun reading this guide,

 I instantly knew, as I read "words are the raw material out of which literature is crafted",

 that I will enjoy this new journey to the very last word.

Oh, yes, the project!

A sweet doorstop, much needed in an old farmhouse with crooked floors that
beg a bedroom door to close and by doing so - blocks the heat trying to rise up
 from the wood stove at the bottom of the stairs.

We can't have that now, can we?

~Read well friends~
