I got myself the sort of (quite early) birthday present I always want, but would never ask for.  There’s just no way to send someone out to find the perfect handmade journal for me, you know?

It was made by Kreativlink on Etsy. I got one of the larger format ones, since I like a lot of space on my pages. It’s gorgeous.  I can’t wait to start using it.  It may even warrant a new pen.

I also finished that bit of embroidery for a special project.  A project I may repeat 30 or 40 times if I can keep up the momentum.

It’s very simple work, but it will make someone pretty damn happy, once I finish it and decide who gets it.

And here is that lace cowl I made while I was on vacation.

And the blanket I accidentally started:

which I’m working in stockinette, this time around.  I’m restricting the color palette of this one, and banding the inner squares in black.

Finally, I picked my Cat’s Paw rug up again last weekend.

I’m a bit shocked by how huge the thing will be, and how slow going it is.  But it doesn’t involve any gauge issues or sleeve trouble, so I’ll keep at it.
