I had an order to run to the Post Office this morning, when I spotted this error message on the Lotto display. I found it sort of weird ’cause stuff was still displaying, so don’t know what it meant, and didn’t really care to ask. If it’s meant for the staff, well… wrong side of things, y’all. Z came home… Read more »

And, finally, I am back to my socks. Bliss. I’m hoping to make some decent progress on the second one today, but I’m also not going to be super fussed if I don’t. It’s just nice to be back to my Regularly Scheduled Crafting™®. Past that, I’m starting at a-england, and trying to figure out how to get the most… Read more »

I know the girls aren’t in school tomorrow. I know that it’s half-term. And yet, I still forgot in the thrill of challenging myself to knit really really fast to hand something over tomorrow… which we can’t do, ’cause school isn’t in term. *chuckles ruefully* I’m still likely to finish the second one tonight, which means that, le gasp, I… Read more »

We were out last night for Z’s birthday dinner, and went to the grocery store afterwards so he could pick some birthday cake. There were lots of people, mainly of the male-presenting persuasion, running around with flowers and so forth, and one of the racks with flowers on, I spotted these cacti. Considering the scene being set, the thought of… Read more »

While Frostpunk is good fun and I recommend it, I needed to go do something else for a bit. So I’m checking out Verdant Skies, aka ‘Flower Collector Simulator‘. But I kid. Slightly. There’s more to it than that, but I’m still in early days, and rounding up flowers is cheap and easy. Still, the days fly by, and best? The game… Read more »

The paint I ordered came in last night, so I got the painting done this morning. I put two coats on, then affixed some white wooden hearts. They are currently stashed under a piece of kitchen towel in a (mainly) out of sight location, after which I’ll shove the candy in and hide them again. I hope that the girls… Read more »

I finished Z’s hat this morning, just in time to send him out into cold and miserable weather. And delivered during the day was a skein of wool I ordered to make another hat, ha ha. This one is for a friend, and hopefully will come as a surprise. I don’t know how much progress I’ll make tonight, but I’ll… Read more »

I finished the hat I was working on last night as I expected, so I pulled out the final ball of wool in the bag. And it was a purple one that I had picked up with no particular plans in mind for, when I indeed developed a plan. Z had expressed a liking of the ones I made to… Read more »

I ended up deciding to do this third hat in the round, which is going well. I’m to the decrease section, so hopefully I can get it finished off tonight and figure out what I am doing next in the charity stakes. That’s been the bulk of the day, really. I’ve been playing a bit of Frostpunk, which has a delightfully… Read more »

While it can be said of any day of the week or year, I am feeling full of love for my kiddos. Smaller trusted me to do something impromptu and cute with her hair, the results of which she was thrilled by. Smalls, on the other hand, had a friend scheduled to come over. This turned into two friends, because… Read more »
