Pass-Times?!
“I love reading and….” that was always what I wrote when I encountered the questions, ‘What are your hobbies?’ Or ‘What do you enjoy doing in your spare time?’ – This was all before I started buying novels for myself. Some months ago I landed on this treasure bookshop that I had always known was there but never really went to check it out. So on this chance visit of mine, like any other self-respecting female I was drawn to the Francine Rivers Section. That month I emptied my pocket there. Took me 2 weeks to read those books. Next month I went back and found Francine was sold out so I went for Karen Kingsbury and Max Lucado books. They were 4 books: 3 Karen and 1 Max. 2 Weeks later I was back, for the next book – you see unsuspectingly I had landed on a series and i couldn’t wait to read the next book!! Needless to say, I could see my banker was frowning at me from way off.
So this month i have rediscovered an old love. Knitting!!! Some may laugh but it is a really perplexing exercise. At first, I thought I could do it all on my own, boy was I in for a ride!!! I redid it 4 times before conceding defeat and calling up an expert.
So the next day I sit at her feet and carefully watch her every move. That evening I went back home thoroughly excited!!!!
I tried out what I saw K Guru do, but alas, it wasn’t working!!
After 2 hours of trying I finally got the knack of it.
Now I knit will humming songs from my latest fav: Brooklyn Tabernacle’s album I’m Amazed. Songs like I bless your name, Gloria and Thou, Oh Lord.
I just can’t wait to see the end product.
Here is a glimpse of my masterpiece in the making.
The Page's Creation
Sooo Much To Go
so this treasure bookshop bes where???
oh and yo hobby, top notch. not that i would dare to take it up but still…
oh my…..well i dont knitt but i think its cool…can i come round for some lessons one evening…?
I am embarrased to say that I….can…knit !! I grew up in a family of boys only for a while, so I guess my Mum figured out it wouldnt be a problem to teach one of us to knit. I havent done it in forever though. (** Runs off to hide in a cave to try to figure out how to overcome the embarrasment **)
Goodness! Do they have to be so pink???
The fact that I’m sitting right next to the rising page makes the dissing even way cooler.
Still, that’s some talent, me I can’t even hold the bu thingies.
Francine rivers sounds soooo mills & boony.
Bookshop is where???

Now this right here’s a much better theme
Igis, at least you know how to knit.
I am supposed to read a book. Got it 2 months ago. Have not gone beyond the 1st Chapter. Is it my fault or the book’s fault? Kubanga I have been more dedicated to books before…
Nice new page by the way.
Looks like i’m late to say this but your new page rocks for me. Now i’ll visit more often
@ SK: Thank you
@ Erique: Finally a complement!!
