Reading ....

 Finished and enjoyed

Hannah Rothschild's The Improbability of Love.  Especially when the author had the 'painting' as a character.  I enjoy the art world and this fiction was so much fun to read.   So, finished -- now I can start Mona's Eyes by Thomas Schlesser.

 I have read all of Elizabeth Strout books.  I've read them in order of publication ; however, read any of them!   I have even pre ordered the newest one --  passed along this one to a

 friend!

 Finished and enjoyed Bonnie Garmus

Lessons in Chemistry.   Incredible!   Passed along to a friend.

I've got a start on Daniel Mason's North Woods, and Picoult's Mad Honey --

 just bought Theo of Golden by Allen Levi (gift card from youngest DS).    Have Daniel Mason's short stories, purchased awhile back ... 

have a few on the night stand.

I am delighted to have a few extra button pieces to try variety of colors/fibers.  The pattern shows a completed button created with Olympus brand fiber.
