Yarn Along

I have started a new project, making a couple of cushion covers to replace two in the lounge chairs that are looking a little tatty.  I decided to use yarn from my stash to save a trip out and to save money so they are not the exact colour I would have chosen but they are growing on me.
I have also been working on the flowers for the wedding putting together the components of the flowers.  It is quite time consuming and rather tiresome so with hind sight I would have put them together as I went along.  I do love the overall finish of them and the luxurious pearl buttons so well worth all the effort.


I have been reading Mummy doesn't love you by Alexander Sinclair, a true story of a mother's campaign to destroy the mind of her own child.  It is a shocking and heart breaking read that will have you in tears all the way through but it also a gripping book that is so hard to put down because it is so shocking that a mother could do this to her young son.  It needs to be read so that we can see for ourselves how easy it is to destroy and in gaining some knowledge ensure things like this never ever happen again.  Not an easy read for the faint hearted.
Not as much on the hook as I would have liked but I have had a busy week with other things.
 
Once again joining Ginny over at Small Things for the Yarn Along.www.gsheller.com/2014/09/yarn-along-193.
 
See you soon.

    I love your squares and the flowers with the beads. I really don't think that I could stand reading the book for fear of crying too! Thanks for dropping by and leaving the sweet comment on my infinity scarf!

    Hi, ooh nice crochet squares, lovely and I love the colours.
    The flowers for the wedding are gorgeous, the buttons finish them off just perfectly.
    I am not sure I am brave enough to read the book just yet- so cruel and sad but I understand what you are saying in terms of recognition, just me being a coward at this stage.

    That story sounds so sad. I can't believe a mother could be so cruel. Your projects are all looking lovely, those flowers are so pretty and special for your daughter.

    Those flowers are absolutely adorable!!!! Love the beads!! I wouldn't be able to read a book like that but I was wondering if the author is the mother. I'll see if it's on Amazon for a description. Have a beautiful rest of your day and thank you so much for always visiting my blog. It truly means so much to me!!!!! xoxo

    Those flowers are turning out well, so pretty. I think your cushions would go with your chest of drawers.

    I love the greys of your squares, it's such a versatile colour that you can match with so many others. As for those sweet little flowers, they are just gorgeous. I definitely could not read that book, it would break my heart.

    Your flowers and squares are shaping up beautifully!

    The title of the book prompts me to pray..."Lord, have mercy...protect the innocent..."

    I love the understated colours of your grannys!
    The book sounds like a very hard read. I can't cope withe these kind of stories at the moment - maybe because of having a newborn baby. It seems to be hard to even watch the news these days... Hope you'll. be alright. Lena x
