Here is a picture of Megan with Jenny on the steps of our church. They were having fun posing all sorts of funny ways but this one was a serious one. I thought they looked beautiful in this one!

Flocke the cutest polar bear cub!! I love this little bear! I have been following her since she was born on Dec. 11th. She was abandoned by her mother the same as Knut, the other polar bear born in Berlin and was made such a big deal about! What is wrong with those mothers anyway! She lives in Berlin in the Nuremberg Zoo and she made her debut this afternoon! What a cutie pie!!

Here is the jewelry I made for Megan's bridesmaids. I used light sapphire Swarovski crystals for the earrings and necklaces. Megan's necklace is at her house so I'll have to wait until she has it on. The necklaces look so much better on someone but no one is home right now but me!

Here is the little black dress I made for Jenny. It has to be hemmed yet and the little belt with the buckle needs to be added. I'll switch out the picture when it is totally done. Hope she likes it!



LADY OF MILKWEED MANOR

I'm reading this book now. I just started it but it is good so far. Here is a review on Amazon:

From Publishers Weekly
In this inspirational historical romance debut novel set in 19th-century England, a young pregnant woman is forced to make difficult choices. Twenty-year-old Charlotte Lamb is the daughter of a heartless English vicar, as we discover when she becomes pregnant and he throws her out of her childhood home. Vulnerable and unprotected, she is forced to a lodging place for unwed mothers. Soon, Lamb must make decisions involving true love and sacrifice, providing many powerful turning points throughout the story. Although Klassen occasionally lapses into back-to-back dialogue, her prose is generally smooth, and Charlotte has the reader's sympathy from the earliest pages. The amount of information about wet nurses, lactation and breastfeeding can become weighty, although often intriguing (such as the practice of using goats to directly feed foundling infants to avoid the spread of syphilis). Faith themes are subtly woven throughout. The reader will need to suspend disbelief to enjoy some of the plot twists, especially the happily-ever-after ending, which provides the redemptive conclusion common to Christian fiction. A bonus is the milkweed poetry, lore and symbolism knitted into the narrative. Both readers of faith fiction and general readers of historical romance should enjoy this lovely first offering from Klassen. (Jan.)Cut to the Quick (reviewed Oct. 29) will be published in July 2008.
