Time Spent

 Today I got some super-cute bunny crafting paper: Can you stand it?  I must be extremely choosy when picking projects for it.  I certainly don't want to waste any. Quiet day.  I just finished a biography of Sargent Shriver, and have begun a book Briton's been recommending for ever.   It's called Pachinko .  It's a thick one, so it will take me a while.  So far, the writing is simple, kind of spare, and simply mesmerizing.

Honorable Mention

I have failed to let you know that my  Twinnie , when I wondered about birds and spider webs, did some research and found out that webs are duct tape for building nests. Particularly hummingbirds. THANK YOU. So, I've added some size to my collaging, though I'm still churning out bookmarks.  This is one I really like: The necklace is from a longer piece of trim, and the jewels in her hair were taken from another length of that.  For some reason, I am so, so proud of that necklace...

All On Account of the Numbness

This sticker  has tasked me.  It's a clear one (PET, technically, I think), and these are difficult to separate from their backing.  I usually get them apart eventually.  This one I worked with for 35 minutes.  35!  Did I give up and go to bed?  I did. A lot of that was my index and middle fingers.  Their "paralysis" makes fine work a bit tricky.  I've also noticed that I'm dropping things really often.  That "you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone" thing is true. Pinterest, as if you didn't know, very obviously employs algorithms.  "Have you seen THIS picture of Robert Redford?"  "Here's another angle of the Bee Gees on stage."  Well today, this showed up: It's a print for sale .  The thing about it is that three of those boots are boots that I own!  Starting from the left, #2, #3, and #4.  My feet are famous!  Sort of.
