What's On My Hooks and Needles:

Mother Bear Project--the website, for info on making bears.

Finished:

Nope.

In Progress:

Zombie Socks: In the Deep Hue Sea yarn from The Yarnover Truck.

The Southwestern Entrelac Scarf--a few rows of love...

Knitting Group Scarf

AND...

The Gryffindor Vest
The OHM Shawl by Michelle Miller. No, I have neither finished not forgotten this one...
Eleanor Scarf--spun from Eleanor's undercoat and knitted in my favored checkerboard pattern.

My LYS: Creative Ewe Studios

Dizzy Blondes: 
A gift from the boss's boss of very thin, unspun fiber ebing spun on the Akerworks spindle.

Strategy:

Breathing revisited.

Put a Lid On It:

Instant Pot heaven.

Find millions of recipes on FB and on Pinterest. I am gemmadw on Pinterest and I even have a board dedicated to the IP now.
Aw Shoot!

Sort of stuck in a holding pattern...

Something I Really Like:

The Iwatch.

Buy a prettier band on Amazon for far less than Apple will sell you one.

Blather:

Teaching a leftie how to knit...success! Stocking up on tea from Teavana, since it is going extinct. I spent 2 days at the PCIT conference at UCLA with my team. Improving the on-the-job culture at my job. The birthday tea party and the new tea cabinet in my department.

Calendar:

Dec 13-17: Anaheim for Evolutions Conference!

Eleanor hates the Instant Pot because I am paying so much attention to it, instead of to her. So she roosts on my spot on the old sofa to protest when I am using the pot.

Dizzy Blondes: 

Not much, really.

Strategy:

Taking Criticism 2: Expect surprises and give yourself a moment. Plan precise behavioral change.

Put a Lid On It:

Not much. Ignoring pomegranates. But we are getting an Instant Pot! I keep calling it the "Quick Pot". A multi-purpose pressure cooker.

Aw Shoot!

SOrt of stuck in a holding pattern...

Something I Really Like:

OBDII Port Reader--Buy it here. Then get a reading app for your phone to connect to the reader and interpret its results. Now you can determine why your Check Engine light came on without a dealership! EOBDfacile is the app I use on my iPhone.

Blather:

I started a knitting group at work! Meanwhile, I have now collected all the rare birds in PGo. A bit about Sunnybank this year. My scarf auctioned for $90. Cheated on the eclipse, but I do not really mind. Who knew how nice the Detroit airport is?

Fearless survived the loss of one of her 9 lives!

Calendar:

Dec 13-17: Anaheim for Evolutions Conference!
