Cooking Notes
A little birthday present to myself. Which I have had no time to test out yet, of course.
The Potter’s Field – Ellis Peters
I have got to read this series more regularly – every time I come back to it, I enjoy it immensely, and then I wait forever to read the next book. I realized a while ago I’m basically hoarding the next books’ enjoyment, since it is a finite series. But is that really a good

Knitting Notes
Pattern: Remige Shawl by Emily GreeneYarn: Quince and Co Wren in the Bosque colorwayNeedles: Size 6 circs I actually finished this shawl back in February, but the pattern is being released next week, so I’m finally able to post about it. The fun thing was that I got a use a new yarn that’s just
The Wind’s Twelve Quarters – Ursula K. Le Guin
This is a wide variety of stories, some connected to various books by the author, but some that are stand alone. She introduces each story, and in some cases, this was collected long after the stories were written, so it’s interesting to see her comments. Some of these I enjoyed more than others, but like

Embroidery Notes
I finally finished the first panel of Night Walked Down – I’ve been putting this down for days at a time more often than the last project, but have still been enjoying it immensely.
Garden Notes
For a variety of reasons, last weekend was crazy busy, so I never posted anything. I actually started a whole bunch of seeds on that Saturday. Above is what that looks like as of today – all but one type have had at least one sprout. (The Thai basil is lagging behind.) I actually ran

Garden Notes
The snow finally cleared out of the yard this week. It’s still not truly warm, but Spring is definitely on the way. Yesterday, I organized the shed. I at least got everything put into good groupings, and out of the middle of the way, but I’m definitely going to have to see how I use
Binti: Home – Nnedi Okorafor
This is the second novella in this series. In the first, Binti left home, in this one, she returns. Why that’s important doesn’t make any sense unless you’ve read the first story. And I think this story is a certain amount of building to whatever will occur in the third story. These stories have absolutely

Dreamer’s Pool – Juliet Marillier
This book begins with a woman and a man in a prison – they’re across the aisle from each other, so are the only two people they can each see, other than the guards. They have a bit of a wary relationship, because of that sight. She knows that it’s been a year since she
