Mid-July.
Winter.
School holidays.
Tour de France on TV.
(Is anyone participating in the 'Tour de Fleece' activity? Not me.)
I am sitting in a house full of boxes and being subjected to paint fumes while my home is being painted inside and out for the first time since it was built 21 years ago.
Happy 21st Birthday home!

Simple Stashbusters
![]() |
| This project is simpler than it looks. |
This is when the fancy, challenging, thought-intensive crochet needs to be set aside in favour of easy, meditative projects.
"Simplify" is the operative word and that extends to my crochet environs as well–I am in danger of acquiring a condition called 'SABLE': Stash Acquisition Beyond Life Expectancy. *

Knock, knock. Hello?
Anybody home?
That’s how it feels around Lupey Loops at the moment, in more ways than one because I’ve either been physically out (not at home) or I’ve been so tired and addled with brainfog (from being out and about) that I’ve felt like “the lights are on but nobody’s home” in my head!

Marching into April (Update)
Well, well, well ...
Forgive me for not posting any news on Lupey Loops since January.
(Yes, January! [shock, horror] I can hardly believe it myself.)
Today's blog entry is as much to remind myself of news to share as it is to reassure you that I am, indeed, still alive!
