nacramamoSame old story... thankfully, I have an orthopedist appointment on Thursday!
Day 20
It was my kids' birthday! I made them nice birthday cards within my limited drawing capabilities, which they liked, but are a bit personal for me to post.
I made them simple, but decadent cupcakes with double buttercream frosting for their birthday dessert; the pic shows the ones that didn't get frosted but got put in the freezer for later.
Day 21
After a somewhat tiring previous day preparing a birthday feast, I opted for starting yet another low-spoon headband (but the last of this skein); I knitted about 54 rows.
Day 22
Day 22 was a bad day painwise; I did manage to finish off the headband I started on day 21, but neglected to take a picture, and now, it's mixed in with all the other headbands.
Day 23
Another not-great day and full of chores to boot. I saved my crafting streak by "finding" (it's been sitting on a chair in my dining room for months) K's dress that needed some mending - some shiny rhinestone cupchain at the neckline had some loose, and I fixed it, and also sewed up a seam elsewhere that had come undone.

Day 24
I worked on the 2019 Mystery SaL, while trying to master the art of listening to audiobooks. After a bit of time, it seems that I can listen to audiobooks while crafting, as long as the work is not too complicated, because anything complicated makes it hard to listen. Now, I just have to remember to stop the book when crafting gets complicated. At least, the app I'm using has a 15 second rewind.
Day 25
More 2019 Mystery SaL while listening to a few chapters of an audiobook; I think it's getting a little easier.
