duchess_asa's news. All is good on that for them though.
In the last week I have completed the first 2 books of the year.
#1 - Cool for Cats by Andrew Ordover - Noir-ish mystery set in modern day Atlanta. Nice and quaint with interesting characters and jazz.
#2 - Souless by Gail Carriger - Uber fluffy steampunk/victoriana novel with supernatural stuff. Quite the genre but well done in the world. It is fun and enjoyable with more sexy flirty than I expected from Victoria but was quite fun. I have the second book coming next.
The weekend was helping Benton finally recover, minus a cough, from his cold and watch Mel succumb to the flu. I finished his sox and then made Bunny Nuggets.
The Sox
The Bun-buns
Front:
The Back!:
I kept the white bunny and the rest went to co-workers. The Squee's from the gifties were awesome. Mel wore his socks on monday too and was very cute with them.
I think his fever finally broke last night so he was looking better. I'm now a bit drippy in the nose but I did hit the gym yesterday and that was good. I only ran a mile but my water bottle was...special (still had a shake residue in it from weeks ago EWWWW!) but I did good.
Scribble last night was nice and we were really productive. I finished another letter for our scribal alphabet and and then sat sketching out banners and looking for inspiration for "R is for Royalty". Not finding something I really want to sketch with that yet. Will have to keep looking.
Lots of projects on the horizon. I've got the studio cleaned, I've ordered fabric, I've scheduled time to finalize learning a technique and I think that is a good start. Just need to stay on task from now till crown.
