Children and reading

Good News Club. Very few boys attended. I handed out the invitations to 6 of the 7 older girls that attend Good News Club, to attend a sleep-over on 1st May. I was warned that everyone pitches up when it is a fun event, and sure enough, one of the girls started asking for invitations for a number of her school friends! Needless to say, I am restricting it to 7 girls. Here are 5 of the "bundles of mischief".
I popped in at Wanda's place for her to set up my next lace book marker, and spent most of the afternoon trying to get the hang of the new pattern, together with using much thinner thread. Folk keep asking to see what I have made, and expecting much more than I have had the time to work on.







Graeme spent the evening in his study while I finished reading "Through Gates of Splendour". I was greatly encouraged by the honesty of the author i.e. one of the 5 widows. She painted a picture of ordinary men with human failings, that God used in an extraordinary way.

  2. Is anyone else intrigued by the funny words you have to type in to validate your comment that you post here. My latest one is "mulstaky". Sounds like a lower backbone gone crazy or something :)

  3. I had not seen any lace in a bright color like this - I wonder, it is easier to follow what you are doing that way?
    Interested to hear how the sleep-over went. You are very brave!
