Day 229 of 2026

I was hoping to finish color number 5
 before my cutoff for today's picture. 
I didn't quite make it but only have one repeat (two rows) left.
 I'll finish them before I go to bed. 
I am officially more than halfway done with this blanket.

Day 228 of 2026

As always I get inspiration 
from the color combinations I find at IKEA. 
While I found plenty in the textiles today, 
this one is calling to me
 for my changing of the dishes this fall.

Day 227 of 2026

I have several project bags that have a different project in each. 
It occurred to me today that if I put a small tassel
 of the yarn used in the project on the zipper tab, 
I can grab the right bag without opening it
 or second guessing myself.

We had thunderstorms for the third day in a row. 
The hydrangeas don't seem to mind.

Day 224 of 2026

We had very strong storms most of the afternoon. 
We lost power for 5 1/2 hours. 
I couldn't cook dinner. 
Here's the backside of a bunny.

Day 223 of 2026

I was not able to attend Flock Fiber Festival this year
 as it was too close to our San Diego trip. 
It would have involved a one day layover at home 
before flying back to the other side of the country.
M agreed to be my personal shopper 
and grab some things I had my eye on 
and to pick what she thought I would like
 when there were options.
 My happy mail arrived today 
and I am very happy with my haul. 
M is a great personal shopper.
