Right from the Heart



I got the nicest book free from Book Sneeze. It is truly a beautiful bound book. Turning your day toward God. Right from the Heart. A 365 devotional. By Bryant Wright.
I had never heard of this author so I wasn't sure I would like this book, but I must say I am very pleased with it. It is laid out with each page devoted to one day of the year and it starts out with a scripture, then a short story or experience that Bryant shares. Each day is about a different subject.  It has beautiful pages and it pleasant to just look at. (I consider it kind of an "old world" look.) But of course, if you get this book, you will want to do more than just Look at it...you'll want to READ it. Even the most busy person should have time to read a page a day. (The book is on the smallish size; maybe about 5X7?) So it goes quick. Well, I'm going to go ahead and post this and then read my page for today! (I usually do it in the morning, but didn't get to it yet today. It is a refreshing way to start the day off.)

Free knitting book from Book Sneeze

This is the first blog I have done here, so I may not be doing it right. They say practice makes perfect, though, so here goes.

I got this amazing book free from Book Sneeze and since I am learning how to knit, I figured it would be a good choice. I am a beginner so it was somewhat confusing to me to try to convert the knee-high pattern to the sock pattern. I finally thought I had it right but wanted to make sure so I took the book to my knitting teacher and had her go through it. We finally decided that I was ready to start making a pair of socks! I have not got them finished yet, but I have to say that I love the patterns in this book and plan on making some more once I'm done. It has charts for the patterns so I am learning to read those as I go. It may be a bit tough for a beginner, but I think it is a good book and I plan to get a lot of use out of it in the future. Even if I have to ask my knitting teacher more questions! I think I will learn a lot from it. Thank you Book Sneeze for the amazing selection of books you have.
