Didn't get any beach glass from the river this trip, BUT I did find a lovely charm!

Vibes so nice. Love just listening to the rain on the porch, holding a cup of coffee, and watching the river across the street

Finally starting the Project Hail Mary sweater! I got the kit from Mary Maxim. I can't wait. This is going to be so cozy. Heck, even knitting it is cozy!
A bulky off-white yarn with knit and pearl stitch variation on circular knitting needles. It's laid on my lap which is covered in holiday gnome PJs. Don't mind them.

I didn't think this rose bush survived but here we are! A surprise bloom! Loving the colors too.

Zero energy today and feeling a little sickly (allergies might be at it again), so I'm taking the time to catch up on some reading. Managed to finish one book and start a comic (which I may finish today too). It's been a while since I've let myself get lost in this stuff, it's been pretty nice.
Two books - on the left is Finding Wonder by Lauren St John featuring a horse with rider running on a beach, on the right is Spiderman Loves Mary Jane, a comic with MJ and swinging Spiderman with one of his webs (by Sean McKeever and Takeshi Miyazawa)

Doing an art! From a www.letsmakeart.com subscription box from years ago, probably right before I stopped since I needed to work my way through the backlog. But if you're curious about doing watercolors, they have free tutorials on YouTube! This one I just looked at the pic and went. Did alright!

Today's card: Abundance. Which I have mixed feelings about, given the state of the world. Seems out of touch to insinuate there is abundance to be found even during suffering. But when I sit with the card, and if it's meant for me and to be shared with others who could use it, then there's a- 1/3

More practice with Hope for this #paletteuary from colors picked by @tailsteak.bsky.social I started to fiddle too much with it, trying to not be so sketchy and do some shading, but I went to a point where I was just getting frustrated so I walked it back some, fiddled a bit more, then called it.
