The branches on the window were a portent, much like the wind which mapped the features of his face in hoarfrost late into the night. Johannes shivered in his bedclothes, damp with sweat. His cough was only growing worse as winter howled for him outside. The courtyard was already thick with snow, and that was how the boy had understood. He wrapped his woolen blanket tighter while the candle burned. An owl screeched into the moonless twilight.

#August 2 2020 #Today I made progress on reorganizing my craft stash.#I spent a lot of today watching CoCoVid videos on YouTube and wanting to try all the things.#Nevermind that I still need to make myself a lace pillow and get some linen thread for the bobbin lace thing I got bobbins for months ago.#And my very first ever embroidery project is progressing at a snail's pace.#And the complete lack of progress I've made on learning to sew garments beyond acquiring patterns and some of the fabric I'll need.#And the three unfinished crib quilts that have been taking up fabric bin space.#That were for people I've lost touch with YEARS ago. (Needless to say those children are no longer sleeping in cribs.)#Oh and I want to take another stab at learning to crochet because I really need to work through my yarn stash.#And I have these beautiful teal and berry colored Irish wool yarns that are scratchier than I like for hats/scarves.#But I also don't have enough of them for any other sort of garment.#So if I can finally learn to crochet (so many failed attempted despite knitting proficiency) I want to turn them into a mandala rug.#I mean I know how to knit lace (though I'm kind of rusty at this point but should be able to pick it back up quickly).#But the sort of thing I have in mind would just be a huge fucking pain to figure out a knitting pattern for.#Anyway in addition to the stash reorganization I've also snipped about a third of my quilting scraps into stuffing.#Because leaning into the OCD helps with my untreated anxiety.#I will probably finish snipping all of my quilt scraps this week the way things are looking.#So productivity! Sort of. Yay!#Anyway this is half assed garbage because I don't feel like writing.
