Still working on those two main projects – Melville and the Astronomy socks. Still working on the yoke of my Melville. Just a few more rows until I can divide!

So I had another go at making pizza – my baking challenge for this year. Last month’s effort was a big fail – the pizzas stuck to the new pans I had bought and the crust did not taste good at all. So this month, I rolled it back a little. I went back to… Continue reading Pizza Success!

This month I finished 3 books and started a couple others! Here are my January… Continue reading January Book Report
