Thought I could squeeze in one last solo camp trip this year. I’m warm in my bed tonight, feeling weird that I abandoned my site.

I went on my first camping trip as a Brownie when I was 7. Outdoor school was my favorite part of 5th grade. I hiked hundreds of miles in Northern CA as a Girl Scout. Then I moved out and ended up with a partner who hates camping. I’m done waiting. I’m camping again and it makes me so happy.

I did have a large bag of colorful confetti in my purse for it but this seems so much more appropriate.

I finished it! Honestly, I’m not sure Bargello is my jam. I still have materials to make another sunglasses holder and Christmas ornaments. Then I think that’s enough for me.

Making progress! For the first side, I did purple down and coral up. For the second side I am doing a more line by line all up approach. As a x-stitcher, I want the back to be super neat but I’m learning that’s not really how this works. Anyway, I think going up is the best way to soothe my brain.

I have worked 24/26 days this month. It won’t be enough. Not sure I can fully relax to give myself a break this weekend but this is a good start.

I’ve had the materials do this Bargello project for maybe 3 years. It’s easier on my eyes than cross stitch at the moment so I like that. But I’m disappointed to discover how hard on my wrist it is, having to yank the needle and yarn through the plastic canvas.

WIP Satsuma Street Pot Shop It’s my first time using Eco Vita thread. I’m learning to adjust my tension so it fills in a little better. I really like the more folksy looking result.

So annoyed I spent most of my weekend miserable with a cold after a really long week. Trying to regroup by making another hat. Would rather be doing messy crafts and holiday decorating.

Made the family a mediocre Thanksgiving dinner and cleaned up the mess. Now I’m cozy in bed with two of my kitties, making more rope garland for the tree.

Covering up my head wound is also forcing me to truly acknowledge my severe hair loss. Embarrassing. I guess I’m wearing hats now. Making my own little beanie today while listening to yacht rock.

View from my patio today. Last year my downstairs neighbors smoked the place out with their charcoal BBQ and all of my stuff was covered in greasy soot. Feels good to be back out here with my little fountain bubbling in the corner and some fresh flowers in my pots.

A little progress made! I’m wondering if I set this aside because I miscalculated the starting point. Too scared to count now, just going to find out when it is too late 🤪
