1. Getting back into the above book. Hello escapism.
2. Practical Magic 2 has wrapped filming and most of the original cast are in it.
3. It's just a little Hocus Pocus! Watched this earlier in the evening.
4. Going garage sailing tomorrow.
5. An slowly getting back into eat more plant based.
Bonus! Running swaps and doing reading challenges is keeping me sane.
As we get closer to opening day, I want to thank everyone who has remembered to make their posts for sending and receiving! It really makes it that much easier to make sure everyone gets something to open. 💗💗😃
#autumncomfortswap as I far as I know there are still three packages in the wild. @pyjamaviking @maich have either of you received yours yet?
Contrary to popular belief yule is a celebration heralding the dawning of spring. It's main themes are light, warmth, and renewal. Light to mark lengthening of the days as spring approaches, warmth and renewal for the upcoming growing season. #yule #yuleseasonswap #swaps #events #sostice
woohoo!
7/16 prompts completed for #fourfoursin25
also cleared the deck for #ssrc #summersolsticereadingchallenge
Don't cry because you think your best days are gone. Smile because you had them in the first place. - Kelly Bishop
In her memoir she take you through her professional career, love life, home life, and faith. From Radio City Music Hall to The Watchful Eye, and, hopefully, beyond. Enduring red eye flights, bad/good relationships, cancers (Lee) and blood clots (Kelly). Since the first moment she drew breath as Emily Gilmore, I have loved her work.
Repost for @TheLittensSociety
Here's my two cents. Are you finding participating in snail mail book clubs and gift swaps just a bit too pricey right now? Check this out for details of cost free ways to stay in touch with current friends and to make new ones! And Even if you're not finding that, check it out anyway! More ways to connect.
T-Minus 10 days to opening #autumncomfortswap

This one is very slow going. For now it is a bail simply because I'm getting too behind. I will revisit down the road when it is available at my library some day.
Just watched a video talking about AI invading crochet. She had an interesting take. An admittedly flawed premise though. If you deliberately seek out something bad you will find it. #crafting #craftersoflitsy
Some Hallmark Autumn themed goodness to tide you over till opening day!

I'm going to post random factoids about yule in the lead up to signups opening for #yuleseasonswap #yule #swaps #events
1. Yule is thought to be very ancient. Tracing back at least as far as the Vikings and possibly even farther back to proto Germanic peoples.
Just keeping track. I have yet to see sent mail posts from @CSeydel @maich and @pyjamaviking. be sure to tag me and the #autumncomfortswap 😃
Alright y'all, it seems there is enough interest so here are the particulars for #yuleseasonswap . Budget friendly. Open internationally. Base commitment is a card with small themed items. Sign up will run from October 1st-25th. @LitsyEvents #yule #swaps #solstice #litsyswaps #events
The tagged and the glass kitchen by Linda francis lee. Same reason for both. Simplicity. #sundayfunday @BookmarkTavern
Just started copying out the wrapped in Jamie CAL. Wow! Square one has 20 rounds to it. It looks so good though. Definitely getting the stitch compendium though so I can de-petranese the pattern. #craftersoflitsy #crafting
Most packages are now in the mail ship by date was August 20th. Thank you to those of you I've already seen posts from. #autumncomfortswap
P.S. If I liked your post it means I've seen it 😃

Taking the #litsy temperature. Who would be interested in a yule themed card swap this winter? And if you wouldn't mind stating what country you're from so I can get a vibe for international interest levels. #swaps #yule #solstice #litsyswaps
#LitsyEvents
Gentle reminder to post when you receive your packages! And tag your sender too if it's on the packet. If not just tag the swap and me.

3. Got some good photos too.
4. Kelly Bishop's autobiography is in for me to pick up.
5. My craft feed on bluesky is almost NSFW free.

Going in the mail this weekend. #autumncomfortswap

1. Scholastic book fair.
2. Silent reading. Favorite part of the day.
3. Watching one act plays/airbands in high school put on by the drama club.
Tagging some people to keep the ball rolling. What are your favorite school memories, or things you love about teaching or parenting school age kids.
@KadaGul @Texreader @Avanders
Reading a really good fanfic about LOTR cheacters. It's called The Unraveling of Hard Words by eternal-vambraces.
Update: Really good. Highly recommend.
Heading into autumn I watch as many autumn Hallmark movies as I can, including rewatches of signed, sealed, delivered. Of course I rewatch practical magic, halloweentown, and hocus pocus. If I really need to zen out I do yoga from videos with Melissa Krieger (I think I spelled it right) from bloom yoga Victoria via YouTube. I also watch crochet tutorials sometimes. And the late show has free segments on there. #serenesaturdays
Went to an estate sale yesterday. Bought a huge bag of lots of colors of embroidery thread. Photo to come after I deodorize it. #CraftersofLitsy #crafting

Just a reminder that parcels must be sent by August 20th and you have to post when you've sent them 😃🍁🍁 #autumncomfortswap
just finished getting my book recs together for my #autumncomfortswap match! some finishing touches then it will be off to the post office.
Slow reading month for me. I've been busy making gifts for #autumncomfortswap and melting during the heat waves. And now I can add hacking up a lung due to wildfire smoke in the area. #readingwrapup #julysreads
So far I have completed 4 prompts for #fourfoursin2025 . I'm also half finished with #ssrc #summersolsticereadingchallenge .
Michael J. Fox is inarguably in my top 5 favorite actors.
I found this book to be illuminating, sad, and, uplifting. Illuminating because he shares information about his life and career that was news to me. Sad because his disease is known to shorten lifespans, a fact he does not shy away from. Uplifting because he actively chooses life, which is evident in this book. Definitely worth the listen.
My tomatoes have BLOOMS!!!! I've also reduced my potted pumpkins down to one plant per pot. #gardening
gentle reminder. the #autumncomfortswap is budget friendly. Only yourself and i know what you agreed to send if you need to scale down, do it. As long as your swap partner(s) receive a card with some small items like favorite recipes, bookmarks, stickers, etc. you are covered.
@CSeydel thanks for the idea! #autumncomfortswap

Made a little macrame charm, can't share a photo don't want spoil swap surprises.

1 Twilight. I love how eclectic it is and how perfectly it goes with the cinematography and emotion of the films.
2 Pirates of the Caribbean. Hans Zimmer is a legend.
3. Moana. See reasons for Twilight. Just swap animation for cinematography.
My pumpkins have sprouted (two of four). And my tomatoes have settled in nicely. Now all I have to do is monitor my empty garden patch until I can get some high strength acetic acid to kill off the last of the thistle.
Edit: all four pumpkins have now sprouted!!!!

Tried to see the new Superman in theater. Holy hell when did they decide deafening people was okay? I feel so bad for their staff as the ads play near constantly. Needless to say, didn't stay. Oh well, I'll just watch it when it hits streaming. My ears are still ringing.
It looks like we possibly have a romance scammer trying to operate on litsy username is franciscopoppie. They are making identical comments trying to get people to email them. The account has Zero posts at all.
