Welp, finished my books for mystery book club tonight and SFF book club tomorrow! Now I just gotta read the BritLit book for Monday's meeting. Should be no problem.

Pulled the white fitted sheet out of the dryer tonite to find abt a 20” long rip in it. I blame my husband’s calloused heels for the wear. (He’s on his feet all day, bless him. )

Just finished When the Cranes Fly South by Lisa Ridzén. Lovely, lovely, very poignant book about aging and loss and the things that are hard to say. #bookstodon

This was an unexpected adventure. I won a major award tonight at the National Quilting Symposium in Aotearoa New Zealand. "Melancholy of Mourning" won the Award of Excellence. So here's a picture, and currently it's on show at the Threads of our Time exhibtion in Otautahi, Christchurch.

A textile art work of multi colours with small pieces of fabric contrasting and adding light and texture. #quilt #art #textile #reuse #recycle

Detail of the textile art work featuring assorted orange fabrics with turquoise, green and yellow accents. The stitching is horizontal waves.

Detail of the artwork focussing on the the purples and pink colours, with small contrast pieces of orange, green and blue. The stitching is in vertical waves.

I just finished The Unicorn Hunters by Katherine Arden. It starts with a historical figure (Anne of Brittany) who is carried off into a world of fantasy which includes a unicorn, as well as plenty of court intrigue. The last part of the book passes into romantasy, w/ a couple of spicy scenes […]

I hit a paragraph in the book I was listening to today about the main character who keeps his notes in a Leuchturm 1917 A4 journal, written with a Pelikan M800 Souverän fountain pen. And I just laughed and said "One of us!!!!" #FountainPens

This is exactly the kind of thing that might piss off Elon Musk, who has a notoriously thin skin and needs no excuse to slip into a fit of rage.

Got about half-way through the required reading of War and Peace for my book club when I realized that meeting is next week, not tomorrow. Now I can devote time to reading the book for the OTHER book club, one that IS meeting this week.

Really enjoyed Slayers of Old, by Jim Hines. If there's a cozy horror/cosmic horror book, it’s this one. Not too deep, best enjoyed by Buffy fans, maybe. A nice palate cleanser when you’ve been reading heavier books for a while.

I started a sock pattern that's written for magic loop. Usually it's pretty easy to just rearrange the sts in my mind and knit on dpns. This sock has a definite back and front, and some unusual shaping, so I decided to use 2 circs (I hate magic loop). I started out being more comfy w/2 circs […]
