I had a particularly peaceful and pleasant end to yesterday. At about 10, I got comfortable in my bed with a mocha beside me to start and then later a cup of tea. i stuck my ear buds in and resumed listening to the audiobook of Dead Man's Folly by Agatha Christie--a Poirot novel read by David Suchet, who played him superbly on TV off and on for a couple of decades. He has done a fine job with this audiobook as well. While I listened, I rummaged around in the zippered pouch containing some cross-stitch supplies--basics, like needles and a pair of scissors, as well as scraps of aida cloth and threads. I chose a piece of cloth, poked through the snips of thread and started stitching. Several chapters later, I had a completed bookmark.
Once the bookmark was done, I wanted to keep listening, so turned to kumihimo and did that. When I had 5 chapters left, I turned it off, read a bit, listened to a podcast, watched an art video and then, at about 2:30, went to sleep.
Good books, scrappy projects, and hot beverages--my kind of night!
hope your night is good, too.
