The notes people leave for me at work are usually intended as jokey jokes but dang, this hit me right in the gut.
I wonder what my work pal would say if I told them that note finally made me get off my butt to really start working on my newsletter?
(And yes, I dealt with those books too lol)

Ever have a book that you are so excited to read that you almost can't bring yourself to start because then it will be over?
That is how I feel about Bob the Drag Queen's debut novel.
I finally started it & is absolutely everything I knew it would be! Eeeee!!

I am entering back into my nail polish era 💅🏻
Behold! Space dots! 👽🌟

3. Clear, matte top coat
Charge hand in the SAD lamp and let the space dots lead the way 🛸🌠🖖🏻

Anyway, after getting my prescription filled I decided to treat myself to some drugstore makeup because it was on sale and I am considering returning to my lipstick era of 2019💄💋
I don't really ever wear makeup because my allergies make my face a mess but I admit simple stuff like this is fun!

I just learned that one of my favourite dessert shops is actually a mere 10 min walk from my office so guess where I went at lunch? 😍
These look like chicken nuggets but they are actually CAKE with a sweet caramel dipping sauce. Eeeeee!
April Fools never tasted so sweet 😋

🧶 My long sleeved version of Midsommar Tee by Caitlin Hunter is now complete! I did a quick steam block and am looking forward to wearing it tomorrow, especially since it's been so dreary and cold.
Now to go cuddle up with a cup of tea and plan my next project 💜

Been feeling pretty neuro-spacey lately so I decided to ground myself at lunch by going for a nice long walk and staring at the skeleton fingers of trees that are just starting to show their buds.
Also, I am using a new camera app that makes all my photos look like a Holga and I think that's neat!

Here is some progress on my purple Midsommar Tee by Caitlin Hunter. I have decided to go for full sleeves but I'll need to get more yarn since I am pretty much out. Oops!
Really loving the oversized, boxy silhouette of this sweater AND I think I got the length pretty much perfect!

It's challenging to find the correct length for the body when knitting bottom-up sweaters, despite swatching and doing the math for my row gauge. It's one reason why I knit the same pattern again and again. This time I am going to overshoot by at least 1"🤞🏻

I got mine custom made by a physiotherapist. I have used similar from Amazon but they weren't comfortable.
The plastic was cut to meet the measurement of my hand and then molded. It doesn't restrict my movement, it relieves pressure on the tendon that causes my finger to lock.
See the pic below!

A little bit of knitting 🧶 for an early Friday evening.
I am really pleased that my trigger finger splint matches my yarn. It's fun to coordinate my mobility supports to my crafty projects ☺️

Here is the first version I made of the Midsommar Tee by Caitlin Hunter. It took me about 4 days to complete because I'm totally normal like that 😅
I didn't make the body quite as long as I wanted but it's okay - it works great over dresses and with my high waisted pants.

Thankfully, the break in my tooth was an easy fix AND my insurance covered 100% of the cost. Phew!
The office radio started playing Hooked On A Feeling by David Hasselhoff right as the dentist was giving me freezing and we all laughed because it was so random 😆
Anyway, here are my mouth bones 😜

Off to the dentist to get my tooth fixed. I accidentally flossed a filling out earlier in the week. Those white fillings don't last like those intense metal ones did when I was a kid.
Here's hoping that I don't end up with a root canal!
