White Threads Floss Tube #58 – Five books that have changed my life

Today on White Threads Floss Tube I tell you about five books that have changed my life. The idea for this came from a friend’s Facebook post, where he wrote about five books that have changed his life. Now, he’s a theologian, so his selection is likely rather different to mine, with most of mine being needlework books!

    Ha, that Reader’s Digest book made me want to try Hardanger too! As I recall my effort was pretty pathetic, but…someday!
