A big update

Wow I can't understand that it is so long ago that I have updated my blog ...

But I have done a lot since.
But I will show yu some pictures, that is the easiest way to show you:



Tranquility from the vintage angel
The pattern is made by heaven and earth designs

A detail picture of the last page I have finished

The simpsons swimming framed :)
I have made this pattern by myself

Spring basket framed
This pattern is made by abi gurden

This is my next start:

Bubble flower from Josephine wall.
The pattern is made by heaven and earth designs.

This is he explanation of he piece on her site:

From her enchanted flower of bubbles, the fairy blows fragments of fairyland into the mortal world, reminding us that a touch of magic can make any day more beautiful.
Visions of a flying galleon, a cat with wings and a magnificent unicorn, are carried on the wind to far off places, Encased in their delicate multicoloured orbs, they float effortlessly, and yet like our own fantasies are so vulnerable, and can be gone in an instant.

 And here is my ( very big haha) start.















I will work on this one till the fourth of Januar and then I will start Literate dragon. This is a SAL from the heaven and earth board.

 



So now I'm going to stitch again!!

See you next time (I hope a lot sooner :P )

bookreview: the king's spy

hello bloggers,

I finished reading my first book of the historical reading challenge. Here is my review:

The king’s spy from Thomas Hill  

Summer, 1643

England is at war with itself. King Charles I has fled London, his negotiations with Parliament in tatters. The country is consumed by bloodshed.

For Thomas Hill, a man of letters quietly running a bookshop in the rural town of Romsey, knowledge of the war is limited to the rumors that reach the local inn.

When a stranger knocks on his door one night and informs him that the king's cryptographer has died, everything changes. Aware of Thomas's background as a mathematician and his expertise in codes and ciphers, the king has summoned him to his court in Oxford.

On arrival, Thomas soon discovers that nothing at court is straightforward. There is evidence of a traitor in their midst. Brutal murder follows brutal murder. And when a vital message encrypted with a notoriously unbreakable code is intercepted, he must decipher it to reveal the king's betrayer and prevent the violent death that failure will surely bring.

I liked the fact that they “try” to let you see how to break ciphers, but I didn’t really got into the story. I liked the book because I love to read historical books, but it didn’t get me as lots of other stories did. It’s a book I like to read once or twice.

Some of the occasions were predictable and therefore I missed the tension in the story that I had expected and that normally let me read a book until I have reached the last page.

Conclusion to this is that I liked to read the book and even will read the second one, but it didn’t really get me.

I'm really looking forward to the next book of the challenge that will be "the labirinth of osiris" written by Paul Sussman.
