joining up with ginny at small things for the weekly yarn along.
this week i am rippling along (pattern: neat ripple by lucy at attic24 - rav link) and have just finished reading the cats of rockville station by jean craighead george. the book is my pick for the new bookclub that lily has created. here are the "rules:" there are only two members - lily and i - and we each read a book, then trade and read the other person's book. then we meet at the coffee shop, eat a giant cookie and talk about the books.
we're supposed to have our first meeting next wednesday after school and we still need to trade. she keeps changing her choice of books though (every book she finishes she decides is the book she wants to choose), so i need to pin her down before i start reading.
and speaking of cats..... here's some completely adorable shots i got of peapod this past weekend:
books, yarn, and cats... what more could you ask for?

My cats joined 'Yarn Along' this week, but they slept through it.
Beautiful colors in the ripple.

I love furry kitty toes! Flufferbutter has the softest fur between his toes... probably because he keeps licking it!

That is the best book club I have ever heard of! Two books and a giant cookie!? It doesn't get better than that.
Sweet peapod, she is so fluffy!

Your book club brought a smile to my face. OH how I wish my grown up daughter was little again so we could enjoy the simple life again! Beautiful Ripple and adorable peapod too! Happy Wednesday!

What a sweet book club idea...I hope you continue this on for years to come. It would be interesting to watch how Lily's reading choices change over the years. A friend of mine still does that with her daughter (who just graduated from college)...they started when she was a teenager and I think that's how Mary gets her best book recs!
