I kind of fell off the planet there for a week. (You can read more about the personal/life stuff below.) But I am back with a 2-week update this time. Supernova Quilt: Still working on the center section. I have all but two of the rainbow stars sewn into place. There is also an exterior…

Not exactly the relaxing holiday weekend we had planned, since the main drain on the house failed and we wound up spending most of today (Sunday) dealing with that and extra expensive holiday weekend hour emergency plumbing costs. But at least it got fixed so we can run water in the house, so I will…

I know it’s halfway through May already but better late than never, I guess? Here’s what I read in April: The Architect of New York: An historical fiction about the life of Rafael Guastavino, the Spanish architect responsible for much of New York’s Gilded Age architecture, as told through the eyes of his son (who…

A mixed bag this week – I worked on several things, although nothing with much focused attention except for my 100-days Project (More on that below.) Jane Austen Quilt: No pictures to show but I did prep the second leaf/vine border motifs and made a very small start on getting those stitched down. I should…

Things are busy here right now. Trying to maintain some time for crafty things but work has gotten kind of overwhelming (still down a person in our department – although we are interviewing this week hopefully! – in the midst of a major company overhaul project – and I’ve stepped into a role with more…

I thought I might not have much to talk about this week. Work has been really hectic. (We were already down 1 person from my small department, and another person left suddenly a week ago, so now it’s just me, my boss and one part-time contractor and we’re all just trying to keep things afloat…

Here’s what I worked on this week: Painted Plains Scarf: I am happy to say this one is done. It always takes me forever to get thru a scarf – I just lose interest with them, I guess? Which is unfortunate since they are such great gifts, as this one will be. I modified the…

Here’s what I worked on this week: Tea Leaves Socks: These are finished and I love them. The pattern is from Carlie Perrins and is the perfect mix of not-to-difficult stitch patterns that looks much more complex than they are to actually knit up. This not-quite neutral is Long Dog Yarn’s Sock in Riders of…

No crafting in this post, but if you’re interested in other things occupying my brain space in Q1, this is for you. I am making slow but relatively steady progress filling out my Law of Fives bingo card. You can see the entire list on the dedicated page here. The new-to-me authors is just 1…
