My doldrums seem to be fading. *knocks on wood* Maybe because I'm at the tail end of that time of month, maybe because I've let myself recharge, who knows.
I've reread a couple books lately. One was Good Omens, by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman. The other was The Ordinary Princess by M.M.Kaye. Very different stories and tones, but both old favorites I was delighted to reconnect with.
I also just yesterday got Check, Please!: Sticks and Scones in the mail. I treated myself by reading the Kent story that had been kept back from the webcomic, but I held back on finishing the story. The author is posting the last several chapters now, one a day, so I'm going to draw it out because when it's done, there'll be no more. If you haven't read it, I highly recommend it! (As to the Kent comic, all I can say is a. someone has clearly been to a therapist since his last appearance and it shows, and b. Kent's reaction to finally trying Bitty's pie for the first time is both appropriate and gratifying.)
This week the co-op had turkey eggs on offer, so for novelty's sake I got a dozen for me and a dozen for my sister. Top to bottom, these are a turkey egg, a duck egg, and a chicken egg. I love the speckles!
I also managed to fit in a bit more sewing on Edyta Sitar's mystery quilt. I came to remember my dislike of sliver trimming, but now they're done. Here are blocks eleven and fourteen:
Only three more sets to go, and then I can lay them out and assemble the quilt top!
