Taiga has discovered the new bird feeders I put up. Needless to say, she is enthralled.

Book 4 of 2026 done!
My husband recommended the next book, so I'm excited for something a little different after listening to 16 books of Tudor historical fiction.

Made a super deep windowsill for the kitties to sit on and watch the birds in the garden. I plan to make some cushions for it someday...

Week 2/52 of foreign foods!
This week is Ukraine!
I really liked this place
I loved the borscht and my husband liked the mushroom soup. He said it was like getting slapped in the face with a giant mushroom.
I just wish this place had some Ukrainian drinks

I always rough up my nails, wash and fully dry my hands, spray with alcohol, use the nail primer that comes with the set, rubber base coat, and this was builder gel.
This lasted less than a week

First time edge banding. How'd I do? Got a few chips on the edges, but nothing a little wood filler can't fix. Also learned that I should do the edge banding before putting it together, but you live and you learn
