The Perfect Rom-Com

 

The Perfect Rom Com written by Melissa Ferguson is a charming romance story about an aspiring author looking to publish her first novel. Jack, the agent who passes on Byrony's book, promises to publish her book if she ghostwrites for a best selling author.

It's a complicated strangers turned lovers story with the humor we have come to expect from Melissa Ferguson. The side characters added charm and interest. This is a fun quick clean read. 

I received a complimentary ebook copy from the publisher, through NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

Cloaked in Beauty

 Cloaked in Beauty is the third retelling of fairy tales by Karen Witemeyer. 

Letty Hood is in hiding. For fifteen years. Her uncle has had a plan to do away with Letty so he can control the company Letty's father had built. But Letty grandmother took her away when she was five, to a safe place. Now as she is approaching her twenty first birthday, she will inherit her late fathers fortune and her uncle is getting desperate. 

Pinkerton agent Phillip Carmichael has been hired to find Letty and bring her home. She turns out to be different than he expected an heiress to be.

This is a lovely story, told as only Karen Witemeyer can.  Beautiful and unforgettable. A story about love, sacrifice, trust and forgiveness. A clean wholesome story that can be read as a stand alone. This is definitely a must read if you enjoy a good story. I love how Witemeyer weaves how God is working in their lives. All in all it's a beautiful well written story. What we have come to expect from Ms. Witemeyer.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from Bethany House through NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

Happy to be quiltng

 I've been quilting the lap quilts every night. Nothing fancy, just straight line quilting. 


I also thought that some should be guy type of quilts. So I am putting this one together.

I am thinking about tying them too. Someone suggested that some people in nursing homes may have dementia and they like to touch things. And I thought the ribbon ties might be good.

I hope you are having a wonderful week. We are still looking at lots of debris from the storms. It is pretty depressing but I know it will all be cleaned up in time.

Happy Quilting.

Best blueberry muffins

 Recently I bought blueberries that were very bitter to the taste. I did not want to just throw them away so I went in search of a muffin recipe. And boy did I find a winner.


This is all that was left from a dozen of Our Favorite Easy Blueberry Muffin recipe. My berries were very large, so they overflowed in the batter. But oh, my, were they ever good. And the recipe is really easy.

So give them a try. I think you will like these delicious muffins.

Quilting with a purpose

 Getting back into quilting and sewing has brought a little bit of distraction. 

I made five more pillowcases and delivered all of them yesterday to the quilt shop.

I have also started quilting the lap quilts for the nursing homes. 

Three done with just the binding left to do. Little by little I'm working on them.

We are still experiencing the ravages of Hurricane Milton. So much debris in the streets waiting to be picked up. I think most people are back to normal activities, unless there is still flooding in their area. The lakes are pretty high but seem to be receding. 

But for now I am looking on the bright side. It feels good to be back to quilting with a purpose. Thanks again for staying in touch.
