I’ll go first
This week I really enjoyed challenging myself by playing speed chess, as well as eating lots of good chocolates. I also had a long walk in the snow and the freezing -7C weather. I love all seasons equally and I love the winter weather!
I enjoyed putting together a bookshelf and re-organizing my books. I’m also making progress testing a crochet cardigan. I’ve never tried speed chess, but chess is my favorite board game!
That all sounds like fun!
Speed chess is fun & hard, I’ve tried a few with a 1-min clock and 3-min clock. The 3-min one I find is enough to be able to focus but the 1-min is truly brutal!
This week was pretty good for me. I made brownies which are yummy. I have a 4 day weekend from school (in-service, regular weekend, president’s day) which is a really nice mini break.
I had several people on social media tell me they would be willing to share my first Ribblr pattern. The reason that’s a positive is that I opened my shop to raise money for Alzheimer’s. I’m donating 100% of all sales so I’m heartened that there are people willing to help build awareness.
I lost my mom to Alzheimer’s just last month (and my MIL just Two months earlier, finding Ribblr has been a wonderful outlet for my creative energy and a pleasant distraction to help me heal.
Thank you for building such a wonderful platform that will enable me to raise funds! I hope I’m able to do lots of good once I’m ready to launch!
This week I finished a new design with super fluffy yarn! I love soft-velvety textured yarn, it makes me feel very happy!
Also, had a really great video call with friends and we played scribbl online together and it was so much fun! I
My happy moment this week was at dinner this evening when my 35yo. Son shared a story about our first snow in our current home. It made me happy bc it was a tale that he and I shared as father and son.
