Today’s little achievement for me is recreating TOTTO-CHAN in threads again for a customer.
Taking the book off my bookshelf as my guide to follow as I stitch, I recall the wonderful book. Why do some books resonate with you enough to want to re-read it again; to count it as one of your favourite books?
During this period of staying at home more, I try to minimise my usual trips to the library and now with the circuit-breaker month, even libraries are closed! So what I have been doing is revisiting books on my bookshelf. Some which I once thought to be too ‘sayang’ to give up, I find I can now let go. Some of these are just books that I used to think looks good on my shelf and make me seem well-read, haha!
Others I re-read and fell in love with once again. “Yes, it definitely a keeper and a favourite.” I realise there are children books (Howl’s Moving Castle, Paddington Bear among these…), comics, picture books on my shelf. And I remember a project I saw once about bookshelves of different people and what does your bookshelf say about you. I wonder what does my bookshelf say… it is interesting!
ramblings.
