I’ve run into a bit of an issue with the Immie Tee (pretty sure I found some errata), so I’m at a bit of a stop there, which is a shame, because I’m about 75 percent done. But, I don’t actually need it until M’s birthday in November, so there’s at least that. In the
I held onto this book longer than I really should have – I thought I was missing the book between the last one in this series I had read, and what I still had on hand, but I was wrong. So I could have read this at least a year ago. Oops. Temeraire and Laurence

Eve has always been able to see ghosts. Her childhood was colored by their presence, but she’s grown into her power as a medium, and even gained some associates that help her with her work. But as women in the late 19th century, it’s hard to be taken seriously, especially when one is talking about

This book has the same madcap dash through time that the first book in the series had. Loch’s crew is fresh off saving the world when another crisis is thrown at them – this time it’s a stolen book, at the same time the neighboring Empire just might throw its undead army at the Republic.

I don’t know what it was about this book, but I had the worst time getting into it. It’s taken me months to get through it. I did get through it, because it’s actually a really interesting story, but I would put it aside for weeks at a time before I could get into it

This is an anthology of fairy tale retellings with a romantic bent. Like many anthologies, some are definitely better than others (I only gave up on one – it was so blatantly a rip off of the Disney version of that tale that I just couldn’t keep going). It was a good, light read for

This is the Immie Tee by Carrie Bostick Hoge, using Quince and Co Tern in the Buoy colorway. I’m making this for the younger niece, since yellow is her favorite color in all the world. I’m doing the age 4 version, but in the called for needle size (I normally go up a
I feel like I’m a little behind in garden updates, but things were just kind of starting for while, and then it got hot. So things are really chugging along at the moment, but I’m not necessarily sticking around to get pictures. It’s more quick weeding, watering, and getting the heck back out of the
