You'll get all the usual books, boardgames and cross stitch from me. Welcome aboard

It's not an idea I've had before. However I choose chaos

This is the August pattern from Dees20Stitches #Stitch4Pride2024 stitch along. I finished it tonight.

I really struggled to put this book down. It was a slow start that very quickly became all consuming. It's not often twists and turns are completely unexpected and there were some delightful ones entwined within the story. I hope you enjoy it.

I'm reading that as I'm just planning tonight's stitching doing exactly that 🤣

I've done a kit and the SAL and found the amount of thread to be extremely generous and seem to have loads left.

I used their variegated thread, I bought it back in 2020 (ish)

I just don't get the dopamine hit from a finish in the same way as I do starting a new one.

I got back into reading regularly by challenging myself to read for 15 minutes a day. After a month I'd upped it to 30 minutes a day and that works for me. Sometimes it's all in one go, other times it's a bit in the morning and at lunchtime

I started What Abigail Did That Summer by Ben Aaronovitch today. It's the next chronologically in the Rivers of London series which I can't get enough of. This one takes place at the same time as Foxglove Summer and focuses on the adventures of Peter's cousin.

I agree. I'm working through the series in chronological order and I'm hoping that the story flows through a bit more into the next ones as there's a lot of unanswered questions. Leslie for one matter. And what Beverley is up to.

I recently finished Foxglove Summer too, and thoroughly enjoyed it. I quite liked seeing how different it was to London and the impact that had on the regular characters.

I realised that much like a garden it needs nurturing. I'm slowly finding my people, or they find me in the Craftiverse 🧶
