This was as far as I got on the large size of the Summer Fjord sweater. When I tried it on, the neckline was just huge. It’s supposed to be on the looser side, but this was fall off both my shoulders loose. So I frogged it, and am going for the medium. This may […]
I got out of the house on Wednesday night! It’s funny being four years out from the lockdown – it both feels four years ago, and yesterday. I do things every once in a while that really strike me, because I couldn’t do them not so long ago. Which is funny in this case, because
This was a fun read. Set in 1920’s Hollywood, Norah is a war widow, rescued from her life in England by her sister in law Christine, aka the famous actress Chrysanda Flammade. She’s mostly along to take care of the dogs and marvel at the life she’s managed to stumble into, when strange things start

I did get my last batch of seeds in on Saturday, so I’m doing as much Spring work as I can. I’m itching to get out and do some yard work, but the back yard is currently soup.

My Night Garden cross stitch is done. This was fun – pretty easy. There’s almost no back stitch, and the motifs repeat. It was a nice way to get back into things after some time away.
We finally get a story centered on Kimberley Adams, the FBI agent who’s been over to London a couple times to help out Peter. Along the way, she’s become the go to person at the FBI for ‘unusual occurrences’, aka magic. That’s how she finds herself up in Wisconsin in the winter, with a snow
