According to my spreadsheet, I have done 41 hours and 44 minutes of crafting this month, and the month's not over yet. I'm starting to feel drained, TBH.

So, I was working on a Starfish pillow, right? I'm a loose crocheter, and even though I went down in hook size, the front still came out too loose for my liking. Thus, I decided to cut some fabric I had laying about to use that as an interface/backing for the pillow, rather than crochet the back. Well, I tried. I didn't cut the fabric carefully enough, and had other mishaps when I tried sewing it. Today, I gave up on that idea and scraped it, and am now crocheting the back as called for in the pattern.

I've done a row and a half on niece's blanket. Today, it's been a slog working on it. I keep losing interest. Mom wandered into my room and asked how it was going, and I dutifully held it up, and she made a "not impressed" sound, so that didn't help. Yeah, I *know* I'm still way early in the blanket, but I still think I can get it done on time. It will just take a lot of persistence.
