What's On My Hooks and Needles:
Finished: nope.
In Progress:
Stash toss 2024 (49 in versus 95 out)
Doing the sides, all the blocks are joined. Done up the side panels. Thinking of the liner, digging out an old flannel sheet.
Lakeside cardigan : Remaining: 1 set of front on panels, each is 2x2, weaving those ends, attaching, then major remaining seams.
Vestuary24: finished the back! Finished the front. Shoulders seamed. Blocking before doing the ribbing: On to the neckline!
The Romjul Sweater 2024 is happening! Cherries! The Sweetheart- a bottom-up sweater in metric measurements, starting with the ribbing at the waistline.
Quilt squares and organizing—10 more squares done, —we are at 38 finished so far.

It's Bone Broth time!
Instant Pot: 1 hr on Manual, cool all night

Both: Bones, skin, giblets, and water to fill. If you spiced your bird, this is all you need. Strain when cool and freeze. But you can also add more spices and herbs, chopped celery, chopped carrots, whatever you like to add to give flavor to your broth. You really can’t make enough of this stuff!

The great cloud de-cluttering: one drive, then Google, then the iOS machines, then the copying between the 4T removable drives. And filling another Kindle reader, starting with the Audible books. And moving onto one more for books and another with the maxed out memory (32G) for Audible.
