Tough weekend with perimenopause symptoms. Thankfully I have an understanding husband that lets me self-care with RDR2, milkshakes, football, and sewing.

Admittedly it’s been awhile since I’ve made anything of note. The creative juices have NOT been flowing. Until a friend requested a sweater and that kickstarted my right brain. Not only did I make her sweater but I made myself a purple cable cardigan.

Saw Good Boy. I really enjoyed it, but what I loved most about it is how much story they fit in in less than 80 minutes. Hollywood needs to take note…

It’s not as fun decorating for Halloween in a humid 76 degrees. But gosh darn it I’m dedicated.

Gimme 5 days and I’ll give you a completed puzzle!
But what a roller coaster of feelings - I go from feeling proud and so accomplished to defeated at how much time I spent on these just to destroy it.

It always seems like a good idea to stop at my local book shop for coffee, but then I get sucked in and always walk out with a book too.
