Graduation Day! I celebrated via live stream on my prep since I participated in an online program 9 hours away by car.

I worked today instead of attending in person, and my students were totally excited and supportive when they came in later and saw me in my regalia!

Looking for some help bringing the outside world to my middle school classroom. If you have the time and capacity, I would love to feature a short (less than 1 min!) video from you explaining how reading shows up in your life and work. See my video for more details!

It started as a bit of a joke, but now I am obsessed with getting an old mechanical time clock for punching in and out of work!

Just look at it! It’s so cute!

I finished my first fingerless mitten!

I made it with the Cloudburst pattern by Arienne Grey on Ravelry. I could have shortened it, but didn’t want to mess with the pattern since this is my first time with a thumb gusset.

I did shorten the thumb by two or three rows.

Working on my first set of fingerless gloves. This cold snap reminded me why I bought this yarn in the first place! Twisted knit ribbed cuff almost done, and it fits!

I tracked my books with StoryGraph this year and exceeded my goal!

2023 was the year of the light Romance. I wonder what 2024 will bring . . .

It’s shrimp cocktail o’clock!

Happy New Year to all who stay home

Finished Sweater #4 - pretty pink for the 3yo nibling.

This one was tricky but I finally figured out how I was twisting stitches.

Next sweater will be an adventure in stripes!

Lake of the Ozarks boat-related errand, and I’m looking over my shoulder for Ruth and Marty.

Further research shows that Nokomis, SK was named by an English colonizer after Longfellow’s poem.

My very neglected Christmas cactus is blooming!

I can’t believe it’s still alive. And making flowers!!
