Day 118 of 2026

Easter has come and gone, 

but I'm still hanging on to my pretty eggs. 

 

Day 117 of 2026

Once upon a time I used to do cross stitch. 

That was before I really got into quilting. 

This pattern is (was?) a Suzy's Zoo pattern. 

I'm pretty sure it is in this booklet. 

I'm also guessing there are more copies of it 

around on the internet.

The signs outside say BUY SELL TRADE. 

If there ever was a movie you wanted to buy, 

this would be the place to find it.

 

Day 115 of 2026

Late this afternoon I got a severe weather alert on my phone.  

Shortly after that the local sirens went off indicating a tornado warning. 

The storm was fast to come and fast to go. 

Later I saw videos of swirling debris taken from motorists. 

Even later I read that there might have been a tornado 

along a road Fireball takes home from work. 

Luckily, he had taken off early and was already home.

 

Day 114 of 2026

Now that the hat is done, I'm back at my socks.

 I completed three more pattern repeats

 and started the heel flap today. 

It has not been hard to jump back into. 

I'm trying to be better at finishing things

 before I cast on a new thing. 

Sometimes it cannot be avoided.

 

Day 113 of 2026

I finally finished the knitting of the Musselburgh hat. 

I am so excited about it.

 Tomorrow I'll block it and figure out a way to show you

 the four different ways to wear it.

 

Day 112 of 2026

I went to the back yard

 to check out the progress on my lilac bush. 

While most of the buds are not open, 

there are buds covering the entire plant 

and the fragrance is amazing. 

The answer to the latest What is it? post is Clue, Live on Stage!

It was fast, funny and fun.
