On the 5th, I read a blog post in Colour Complements. She mentioned a book she goes to a lot for reference, and showed a picture of the cover. I thought to myself, I have this book and I started to look for it. First where I thought it should be, but it wasn’t there.

I said a prayer because I was getting frustrated as I really like this book myself. I knew that He/God knew exactly where it was and I would be lead to it. It might take time, but it would be found. Stressing about it wasn’t going to do me any good at all.

This is where most of my stitch books are. (Forgive the messy shelves, they are still a work in progress. I’m getting more little 3-drawer units, online from Walmart, cheaper buying a set of 6 than buying them in store, plus they deliver to store free, to put jars of beads in and get more organized. I will put two to a shelf. I’m excited.)

On with the hunt. I knew this group of books was too small but I looked here more than once anyway, and on the footstool in front of this bookcase.

Could it be under this stack of Jeri Lander’s sweet books, since the one on top is all about Mamsey Bear and Mopkin and lovely embroidery work created by Mamsey? No.

How about in this stack? 

There are some beading and gold work embroidery books here. No.

Maybe I absentmindedly put it in this bookcase? No.

Ok, let me go back into my little creative area and library of sorts that has ‘some’ of our books in it.

That’s what I did yesterday after I got home from work.  I sat in my chair, (covered in green), faced the wall of books and started looking on the right side first.

This is the likely shelf, but no such luck.

Three more shelves of books. Not there either.

Getting warm.

Next shelf and eye level, eureka!

It could have grabbed me it was so close. Sheesh!

I said more than one prayer of thanksgiving

and was just tickled pink to have found it.

Do you see it?

I absentmindedly stuck it here, when moving things around.

Here is the book and it is fantastic.

That’s it for now.  My stomach is growling and this morning I’m going to make an avocado smoothie. Avocado is from my bosses’ tree. My Ninja blender is fantastic and I am enjoying using it.

Have a great day and a lovely weekend ~ FlowerLady
