Craft On: Baby and Beta
I have finished all of the H'ammaam spa set and the prototype for Shallal. Now, I am working on the second, final version of Shallal and the pattern is all written. That feels good after a tough time getting my thoughts together.
Besides that, I am making progress on the baptismal gown sleeves, and hope to have both sleeves finished in just a couple weeks.
We are more than halfway through Emma. I've finished two more happy, little, doughnut murders, and I'm on the sixth in the series, Deck the Donuts, which precipitated a bizarre dream involving a former colleague of Rich's bringing us a pre-decorated, fake Christmas tree, and another bringing us three more. Which were upside down. Then meeting up with Colin Firth who came over for snacks and drinks. And could speak Arabic. It's been a hard time and my brain is doing weird things. I still haven't had a doughnut, though.
I got to read a very little in Milk: The Surprising Story of Milk Through the Ages, but then we had more difficulties and I couldn't think enough to engage with it.
