1 Finished Two Tone Throw for Uncle Mark
Short post tonight. I am knackered beyond measure but my mind won’t shut up. I finished tbe Two Tone Throw for Uncle Mark, wove in all the ends, and now have to wait to.fkgire out what my next project will be. Most likely is the Red Room Throw for Llama’s partner, Micah. Beyond that, I want to work on Jae’s black and white blanket that’s the same pattern as Uncle Mark’s.
I am going to bed in self defense.
Take your meds, folks.

If you had a free round-trip ticket to anywhere, where would you go?
If it was just me traveling, I would go to Rhode Island and spend time with Reffie. If Owl and Gobyln were with me, Ireland.
Hello again, my lovely darlings!
It hasn’t been all too long since my last update on this reading challenge. And all books for this challenge have been, finally, chosen!
As I previously mentioned, the first ten months or so of this year were ass-kicking levels of depression. But I am slowly coming back and am back on my reading nonsense! So, tell me what you’re reading and if I should add it to my TBR for 2027?

My life philosophy is something akin to “do no harm but take no shit”.
