Friday

I'm trying to catch up on reviews on my other blog.  I've read two recently that I really enjoyed, but haven't finished the review yet.  The Gauguin Connection and The Dante Connection by Estelle Ryan are both entertaining mysteries with an unusual protagonist in Genevieve Lenard, a highly functioning autistic woman with multiple degrees, a little OCD, and debatable social skills.  

She works for a prestigious French insurance firm where where her expertise in non-verbal communication and her analytical ability make her invaluable.  Both novels offer humor and suspense and wonderful characters.  This is a series I'll definitely be following, and I hope Estelle Ryan will hurry up and publish another one.

Oh, and I just finished White Fire, another Agent Pendergast novel by Preston & Childs.  Yep, they are over-the-top and campy and offer up a host of bodies, but I'm addicted.

I finished my black sheep and love him.  :0
The felt is called shaggy felt, and I like the texture it adds.

He's looking at Bitter of Bitter & Boo;

Boo didn't make it into this shot.

I want to make some more of these

patchwork characters with clay faces.

And I finished the pillow cases

and their embellishments.

If I could keep Fee from squashing them 

when he stretches out on the sofa to watch TV,

they would look less rumpled.

Our weather has been a little cooler lately.
Maybe not fall as most people experience it,
but definitely a relief from the heat.

Have a great weekend!
