And speaking of nice things.

I picked up a couple of lovely notebooks in Czechia last fall. I think I already showed you one. Here is another, and even prettier with my pink pencil. You know my obsession with school supplies. Once I found my perfect pencil I buy all the colors. What better place to keep pens and pencils than a Burt kitten pencil bag. 


Mellie prefers the real Burt. She has made an excellent supervisor while I work from home. At least she does while she is awake.


You'll forgive my bad photo but once things started to loosen a few months ago I put in an order for some new tools. I had plenty of time to think about what I use most and wanted more of and a few new to me things that I wanted to try out.


I have managed to finish a few things too, like these socks. And today I finished a shawl on a very hot day. No pictures since whew not today. This was yarn I received from a blog drawing a while ago. I kept thinking I needed to find a perfect pattern for them but changed my mind and am happy with plain knitting.


Like I said I had plenty of time to think about getting some new things. Since all the festivals are canceled, I've been doing a bit of online shopping. The bottom right yarn is already on the needles, yes new needles from above too. 


Keep on trying to be kind to each other.
