My mom’s cactus is now blooming! So beautiful! 2nd picture is from April 2023 when it was a single piece in the pot at my mom’s apartment just a month before she passed. Mom always had a much greener thumb than me, but I’m super pleased I was able to get this little nubbin to thrive and bloom. ❤️

Day 13 of our Advents. Mine is a set of stickers from my #twiceshearedsheep Advent, and, well, neither I nor my husband are entirely sure what this tool piece is from #weratools Advent. But I’m sure we’ll figure it out before it’s all done. 😁

And so it begins. Doing a full stash toss and am going to collect up yarn to destash to balance my books for the end of the year. Twice as much yardage out as in is the goal. Wish me luck!
