I'm probably going to blog in very short bursts while I wait for calculations to finish.

New Stitches: current issue
Great dandelion pattern. I love dandelions. Do you know how hard it is to find a good dandelion cross stitch pattern?
and a nice Chinese inspired medallion pattern, too.

I got 2 "healthy back bags" from LLBean; yay coupons! Bright red fleece. I've wanted to try these for a long time, like 10 years.

I just ordered the crystal book last night, and a braiding book, and a few other small things to make up free shipping.

I finished the cross stitch on the popply scissorskeep, but I won't do the finishing for a few weeks. I've started another small, even simpler project, the Celtic bookmark.

I also ordered a bunch of incense samplers from Shoyeido, to try out different scents without buying whole boxes of them. So far, I like Ruby, Amethyst, and Moss Garden. I have a good 20 more scents to try though.

Diamond and Sapphire were not particularly remarkable, so I probably won't buy them, as I neither liked nor disliked the scents.

And the Introduction to Lattice Dynamics book came today. Yay! It is very cool, and very necessary.
