Day 272 of 2026

While in the attic last weekend, 

I found a box with some items I really love. 

These are the jeans I wore in high school and college. 

They are covered with lots of mending and embellishment. 

This freehand embroidery design

 is near the bottom of one of the legs. 

I'll share more soon.

 

Day 271 of 2026

Fireball and I worked on the garage again today. 

This is a box from an appliance we bought a while ago. 

Fireball opened it up and found three layers of walnuts

 from our tree stashed away in it. 

This is likely the work of one of our neighborhood squirrels.

It's too bad they went to all that trouble

 and never came back for them.

 

Day 270 of 2026

These are probably my most liked items I got at Comic-Con, 

the water bottle and the sweatshirt. 

They are definitely the most used.

 

Day 269 of 2026

My fast finish is improving. 

I completed the foot of sock number two last night,

 and then my needles that were supposed to arrive tomorrow

 arrived today. 

I was able to start and finish the first toe with the new needles 

tonight during the Indiana football game 

with the exception of the grafting.

 If all goes well, I should be done with this pair of socks

 sometime this weekend.

 

Day 268 of 2026

Today's puzzle setup was a little unconventional. 

 

Day 267 of 2026

Yogurt mustache.

 

Day 266 of 2026

I took a little time this afternoon 

to assemble the tree in my current puzzle. 

I guess I should have led with the fact that I got out my pick

 for the next puzzle to work last Thursday, 

but today is the first time I have actually worked on it.
