Maybe I can make a basket with the hexies and modpodge or something and use that instead. Probably not, it's a sticker project than my sensory issues can take on, but it's fun to fantasize!

I wanted to make a hexipuff blanket a while ago, and I made a few puffs and decided I hated the feeling of the stuffing, so I gave up.

I also generally enjoy books set in Regency England, especially Jane Austen novels, and other novels that take that period about as seriously as Miss Austen herself.

I just can't do it by myself, nor do I have the table or floor space to do it at the moment so I need Mr. Tired to help me move the dining table so I can lay out the fabric on a section of floor that is as tall as I am.
I also ran out of scrap fabrics in my stash, so I ordered two jelly rolls to cut into the right size for the hexagon paper pieces, which I also ran out of the original set I ordered. I purchased a 2-inch hexagon paper cutter thingy (stamp thingy? I am really not on with words today), so that I can stamp out hexagons as needed for the paper piecing. I'm up to about 400 hexagons made, and I'm really proud of that. I still don't know what I will make with all of my hexagons, but at least I'm enjoying making them. They're a really relaxing thing I can do while in meetings, or in the evenings that doesn't take up much space, isn't messy, isn't heavy, and doesn't need any brain power to complete.

I'm still sad that for some people, it's still unavoidable as allergies can come on suddenly at any age, regardless of exposure. I've known a few people, who, despite early and often exposure to allergens like peanuts, still ended up allergic to them as adults. Mr. Tired is one such person, and it sucks because Reese's were one of his favorite candies.

I'm always looking for book recommendations from people I even tangentially know.No worries, it was a more open-ended offer to anyone who's interested in adding me.

Body horror, puppets, dolls, possession. I don't know how Hendrix manages to also perfectly capture the female experience in the US as well. A+.
On the other hand, I just DNF'd Practical Magic by Emily Grimoire. I had to nope out when she compared herself to Taylor Swift, but also there was apparently a Donald Trump reference in the book too (gross). I really wanted to like it. The premise was cute, but I should have known it would suck when the book was compared to Gilmore Girls. I'm not a fan of that show.

This year, I discovered the extra challenges and I have been reading books on those lists to get those cute little bookmarks! Almost all the extra challenges so far this year have been awesome, and mostly in my wheelhouse, however this quarter, two of the challenges were definitely not something I'm interested in reading, and it was a struggle to find books from those lists that interested me. I slogged through a memoir this week, and it was fine. The way it was written was very different from most books I've read, and I can't say it was my favorite. I have the literary fiction book I found most interesting from the list on hold from the library, and I hope I like it, sine I've read the two books on the list that actually were on my tbr earlier this year.
I generally try to read 2 books a month, but this year, I've been tasked with a few projects at work where I can just turn my brain off and do manual tasks, so I've been able to listen to tons of audiobooks.
I've got the same username over there if you want to friend me!

I absolutely love this game. It's one of my favorites to recommend to people who love horror stories as much as I do. It's simple, beautiful, yet it is terrifying and complex. I'm definitely watching this with Mr. Tired, who introduced me to this beautiful game, tonight.
