The NEXT book!) but I will not allow myself to start anything new until this one is done.<\/p>\n<p>Embroidery is what I do in my down time. I feel lost without something to do with my hands. This afternoon I&#8217;ve been reading a wonderful book called &#8220;The Unlikely Voyage of Jack de Crow&#8221; by A J Mackinnon. It is a most enjoyable read! I learned of the book after hearing a rollicking <a href=\"http:\/\/www.abc.net.au\/local\/stories\/2014\/10\/20\/4110627.htm\" target=\"_blank\">interview<\/a> with its author, Sandy Mackinnon, who is surely one of the best storytellers I&#8217;ve ever heard. And the book is just as entertaining.<\/p>\n<p>However, it isn&#8217;t embroidery. \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n<p>So now I just need to finally get this book finished so that I can start something new! There are many things on my list, and the next book is just one of them. I wasn&#8217;t actually planning to write another book for a while as there are a few other things I want to do instead for a bit. But then an idea planted itself in my head, almost fully formed, and I had to agree (with myself, of course!) that it was a very good idea.<\/p>\n<p>But that&#8217;s getting ahead of myself. First things first, and in this case, that means finishing off &#8220;Early-Style Hardanger&#8221;&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well, after a long process that proceeded quite well but slowly, I completed the Hardanger lampshade for the book.
