Since the bear and other toy haven’t progressed at all since last seen they don’t rate a picture. I promise, this weekend I’ll stuff, sew, and make faces. On them and myself!

I only titled it that way to remind me once again. It’s been every day of the week today. I hate it when it’s like that.
I’m sorry for not getting down to personal bits here. Seems I’m barely showing up since my little vacation. My rhythm is way off.
The only consistent thing is knitting. Here are the newest slipper socks I finished yesterday.
Oops! Speaking of purple. My other constant. Though not as much time is spent diamond painting as I’d like.
Busy is calling. I’ll check in more tomorrow.
These slipper socks were made on the Flexee fine-gauge 40 pegs looms. The yarn was so soft I hope the universe grants me more to play with.
Frogged two socks. And started over.
If you still celebrate, Happy Fourth of July!
Time to look at works in progress.
But if you’ve been following. I’m spending a lot of time reading. Even reading out loud. I know that seems something small. But my eyes have never been able to see to track and read properly, even though reading has always been my favorite pastime.
So I’m in training now so that my dream of sharing my books and podcasting will happen. I picked up
12Pcs Dyslexia Tools for Kids Dyslexia Reading Strips, Colored Overlays for Dyslexia Transparency Reading Guide Strips for Kids Correction Gel Lighting Filter (11.7 in x 8.3 in) to help me track better.
I’m still checking out Librivox to read aloud books and Audacity to help record podcasts and books.
So busy!
Sometimes I pop them on in a row, or by one color at a time. But I love to pop the drills on in checkerboard.
Now if only I could see the real thing. Diamond Painting does bring a bit of that peace.
A quick summary of everything else. I only skipped Morning Pages one day last week.
My memoir, Moving, is moving along but behind.
Two pairs of socks are growing row by row, much more slowly lately.
My hands found their way to play recorders this week.
My eyes actually made progress in reading real paper books. I do get tired still so I’m looking into ways to train my visual tracking.
Two books are waiting for reviews.
How was your week? Oh, and Have a great weekend!
That’s what I try to share here. Things that bring me joy.
The things I make aren’t professional, but I love working on projects and finishing.
Here’s one
No pictures until totally finished and hung on walls but working on straightening, sealing, and framing my diamond paintings. I can’t wait to unwrap and kit up my next, a lighthouse for my husband.
No pictures, but continuing knitting a couple pairs of socks.
Spring brings me joy. The mesquite are starting to bloom. I’ll wait until full bloom to capture. But yesterday we caught sight of a bright yellow bird. I thought it was a finch. But today I got a good look. Unfortunately, he kept moving beyond my phone picture range. But I Googled what I saw. Turns out to be a Western Tanager.
And I’m writing this early as today is my last long drive. My final eye recheck is this afternoon. At least not early in the morning. Still, so many 5 hour driving days are so wearing. Maybe by July I will have recovered.
I think tired is the reason I’m not seeing more improvements. My eyes are tired and blurry. I hope to find ways to get better this afternoon.
Speaking of tired. I just realized, this is Tuesday!!!!
And Happy Tuesday!
More progress on the dragon. I’m loving the ruler for straighter lines.
I brushed on the frame for the sunset. Not sure I like it. Maybe I’ll try to get a regular frame. Or see if I can make it nicer.
My editing seems stalled. But maybe if I plant myself at the laptop right now, I can find my way to words–good ones, I hope.
