Date: 2026-01-18 01:34 pm (UTC)Need encouragement on: Mom has reminded me that I owe several people memory quilts. I need to dig out the craft room table and the ironing board, and I just can't get started for whatever reason.
Events: The Celebration of Needlework is happening in Nashua, NH, USA in May. It's basically Cross Stitch Con. I go for the shopping and socializing but they also do workshops.
Reading: Assiduously grinding through Tome 3 of Neal Stephenson's Baroque Cycle, The System Of The World. I am about to test the limits of my library's renewal policy yet again. After that I have a small stack of newish short SF/fantasy to dip into.
Watching: All the Star Trek.
Chores and whatnot: Last week I filed ALL THE THINGS. Now instead of a massive looming avalanche, I have a neat section of curated books on the top shelf of my desk. (No, I did not find the vet records I was looking for. Alas. I heroically phoned BOTH vet offices and now I have the boys' complete records in PDF form. HUZZAH.)
