Wow
This duet cover of Radiohead's "Creep", between a son and his Shastriya Sangeet classically trained mother, is the mash-up I didn't know how much I needed in my life. Totally spontaneous sobbing may have taken place.

Accidentally bought more yarn. It's so squishy and lovely.
Also decided that I need to do a weaving class because why not try something new?

It's bloody ages since I've watched any hockey. At my hockey watching, billet mum peak I used to see Makar play quite frequently when Brooks came to Okotoks.

Rug hooked chaos. Off the frame and I'll think about how I'm going to finish it tomorrow.

Introduce yourself with the name your parents almost gave you:
Ruth
It was actually my name for several hours until mum decided to change it as it didn't suit me.
Introduce yourself with the name your parents almost gave you:

Fleur

Apparently my father was having none of it. Left to my own devices I'd probably choose Marianne which isn't without precedent, as my great-grandmother was Mary Anne
Introduce yourself with the name your parents almost gave you:

Wilfred. It’s why I use it.

Although I do joke sometimes that I’m named for my *mum’s* favourite gay WWI poet, if I were named for my *dad’s* it would be Siegfried.

I put a hard boundary on something at work. Now I'm a bit worried about it.

This is turning into a bit of a Bobby dazzler. Whatever the plan was it's lost to the mists of time. One of the least stressful rug hooking pieces I've done. 🧶
