This weekend I've done a ton of seams and a ton of end weaving. And realizing that the 2D to 3D translation was in fact flawed but...perhaps I need only make an addition two granny squares for the body panels under the sleeves for when it all comes together?

Y'all the spouse says I sound like Cruella DeVille for telling Freya she needs to make puppy friends and bring them home so I can huff puppy breath.
(Y'all...puppy breath. They need to bottle that smell. I miss when Boo who is a neighborhood doggy was a puppy and gave me sweet sweet puppy kisses)

Okay Emily in Paris...if she's from Chicago and in her current early 20s, there's no freaking way she ordered a West Coast made PBR over a Leinies when finding an American bar in Paris. At that point shr might as well have been drinking _the banquet beer of Golden Colorado_

We got a Christmas card from the plumbers this year. It may be a sign we spent too much money on plumbing (even though we did the garbage disposal swap).

Y'alll Christmas falls on spouse's cooking day so he's threatening Britush Christmas dinner. The challenge: he's never cooked it and I just had to explain how to do British Sunday roast potatoes 😱 (he also thinks maybe not a whole turkey or turkey breast, but legs instead)

Well...putting together a sweater from granny squares has me: cursing need to weave ends b/c there will be so many and not accounting for amount of shoulder drop in the flat 2D pattern I halfassed (I think I made too many sleeve squares....meaning I can make sweater longer but I need more squares).

Alright y'all...it's time for roast chicken leftovers to become the first crepes I've made since high school French class (and a slightly scary electric crepe pan) in the form of a chicken with caramelized onion boursin creme sauce crepe with a chive garnish and the dessert is baklava cups.
