Blanket: the third section + two books

I started the third section of my blanket!!! I think this section may go on the 

side of the first section, for colour and texture reasons...

The light blue is not showing up with the brightness that is in 

it in this picture but at least you see that I 

am really getting a good handle on the seed stitch!

I am reading more of Melody Beattie ~ 

I knew her first in her fairly famous book

Codependant No More

and her book The Grief Club

is intense and deals with loss of all different kinds, 

including some servere disfunction (i.e. some hard reading)

but it's helpful too for me to just read about loss

and about facing the loss, honouring the loss,

grieving it and going through the time of it. 

I am also reading the book

A Grace Disguised: How a Soul Grows Through Loss

I read this book years ago in it's first edition,

and I am finding it quite helpful...

*

I wrote more about how I am dealing with the recent

loss of Mr. Husband's godson and am hopeful

for a lot of healing and to grieve well...

I find books a real help to me in this...

So here is the three sections of my blue textured blanket:

it is really coming along!

I am going to do some different stitches

soon in the new section...

What are you reading and making?
