Thanks for everyone who came out today for yarn circle — I had a great time, per usual, and managed to finish this basket too. I promptly put my next project inside it. Jumbo yarn, took about 3 hours, start to finish. https://www.ravelry.com/…/lib…/its-just-a-crochet-basket Yarn circle again next Saturday 9-11, per usual — and do feel […]
Rough evening. Family crises, now resolved, I think, but we’re all exhausted, and I had to miss a board meeting, which I hate, and a solidarity Zoom with a friend that I’d been looking forward to. Here is a dried blood orange slice, though. That’s pretty. Bath, then bed. This is the longest November.

Why am I so tired? Does it being cold outside make you tired? It’s not even super-cold yet — that’s coming. I got enough sleep, nothing is particularly wrong, and yet, my limbs feel like lead. Chaired iGov meeting from 8:30 a.m. – 9:45 a.m., hosting a community dinner this evening, nothing else on the

The store is giving me an excuse to redecorate every few weeks. I really like doing window displays. 🙂 My chalkboard sign skills could use some work, though… For January, I mostly went for hygge coziness, although we’re also starting to bring in some pink for Valentine’s Day.

JANUARY CANDLE FLASH SALE! (To order, click here for Facebook post) It’s dark outside — let’s have more light… Notes: Most of these are made from recycled wax (waste not, want not), so I can’t be sure what’s in them. Some of the colored ones are very lightly scented — the pale yellow is a

I swear, I had a whole to-do list today, but instead I have spent almost the entire day watching Father Brown murder mysteries and making candles. Sometimes I just don’t know what’s going on in my head. At least we got the Christmas tree out. That’s something that actually needed to get done. Unlike EVERYTHING
