him. A recurring theme as any fan of Diana Palmer will tell
you Read more...
I learned several things in Jen Lucas' book COZY STASHING-
BUSTING KNITS, some were probably not intentional but rather
eye
opening for an old time knitter. I developed a new respect for
charting, something I often passed over when looking at
instructions
for a new project.
When tackling a gorgeous Read more...
TEMPTATIONS IN A TEAPOT by Laura Givens is a lovely
addition to the adult coloring book category, albeit a
little on the

usually that
I just never found them in my book searches. Having just
finished
IN THE HEIR by Ruth Cardello I know that I've been missing out Read more...
HAPPY IS THE BRIDE has an interesting concept, take a
