Cleaning Out the Library

A Section! Cleaning out my book library is taking quite a bit of time since I have to hold the book, open it, think about when and why I bought it. My books are friends!  I have to decide to keep the book or share it with someone else.  I tend to group my books by subjects and my changing interests are pretty obvious.   In 2002, I was deciding if I wanted to be a woodworker.  My late husband had all the tools and many books about woodworking.  I made wood sculptures in college and loved the touch of wood.  I took an apprenticeship for a few months and what I found was that I love wood.  I love using hand tools but the resin in the wood played havoc with my sinus and lungs.  I kept the tools and Peter loves using them.  I kept the books until I was ready to let someone else use them and now I’m selling them on Amazon. Weaving is another section in my library.  I’ve taken tapestry weaving classes, Navajo weaving classes...
