A Sinister Revenge | Deanna Raybourn
post image

I‘m gonna be sad when I catch up on the Veronica Speedwell mysteries. They‘ve brought me a lot of joy this year, even given the library bottleneck that left me with a months-long hiatus between the 5th & 6th books.

I finished this book nook during yesterday‘s listening session! It, too, brings me great joy. I‘m so glad Michael‘s started stocking them, and including them in their couponable items, so I could nab it on Boxing Day. #audiocrafting

ChasingOm I love these books on audio and I LOVE your little nook!! 4d
xicanti @ChasingOm it‘s one of my favourite kits! I‘ve had my eye on it for over a year. 4d

Holiday happies ... @Cuilin, the ornament is gorgeous. Another talent you have. I can't even draw a stick figure correctly. I will cherish it always. And @julieclair, did you diamond paint this fabulous bookmark? It's beautiful, and I'm currently using it for STILL LIFE. Finally, @kspenmoll, what an adorable wooden bookmark with no truer sentiment.

Thank you all, m'dears; so glad we're Litsy friends. 🩵💙🩵

kspenmoll Litsy has created the best friends! 💕💕💕 1w
dabbe @kspenmoll Agree 💯! 🩵💙🩵 1w
bumpinthenight I thought that was a beaded book corner mark for a second! Very beautiful either way! 1w

julieclair @dabbe So glad you like the bookmark! I did diamond paint it. I find that so relaxing to do while listening to audiobooks. (Plus doing small items is good training for a larger project, like the gorgeous one you sent me for one of the Fall swaps! 😘🥰) 1w
dabbe @bumpinthenight 🤩🤗🤩 1w
dabbe @julieclair I LOVE it! I'm so glad I gave you a diamond painting, too. I have two of them, and I have never done it before. That's one of my NY's resolutions: to get more crafty and listen to some audiobooks. Maybe my book numbers will go up, too! 🩵💙🩵 1w
julieclair @dabbe Spending more time #audiocrafting is one of my 2025 goals as well. Let‘s encourage each other! 6d
dabbe @julieclair Sounds like a plan! 🩵💙🩵 6d

The Lost Bookshop | Evie Woods
post image

I finished assembling this tiny bookshop before I started THE LOST BOOKSHOP, but let‘s pretend the two overlapped so I‘ve got an excuse to show it to you, and to tell you I‘m enjoying the book. It‘s got a solid emotional core, and I‘m assuming there‘s magic to the shop itself as well as to Martha‘s perceptions about people. Intriguing. #audiocrafting

Mimi28 Awesome 😎 4w

Kenyazero Super cute. This looks like it was fun to assemble! 4w

An Unexpected Peril | Deanna Raybourn

I got through a big chunk of the tagged book while I worked on this miniature living room/balcony combo destined for my aunt. The Veronica Speedwell series remains a lot of fun. I‘m glad this instalment puts me past my library‘s audio bottleneck at long last so I can listen to them at a decent clip again! #audiocrafting

ImperfectCJ That miniature room is fantastic! I keep thinking I want to make one of these, but there are so many options that I can't decide on one to do. 1mo
Ruthiella Oh, I love that! ❤️ 1mo

xicanti @ImperfectCJ there are definitely a lot of kits out there. I‘ve purchased a few new book nook-style ones (they slip into your bookshelves; convenient for storage!), but I lucked into this one at the thrift store. The original owner had obviously tried to follow the very first instruction in the booklet, said, “Oh god, NO,” and donated it. 1mo
xicanti @Ruthiella @dabbe @MemoirsForMe thanks, everyone! It was fun to do. 1mo
Kenyazero This looks like a super fun one! 1mo
xicanti @Kenyazero it was great to do a room with so many books in it! The couch was about 500% easier than the last couch I made, too. This flocked stuff is so much better to work with than faux-grain leather. 1mo

I can‘t seem to sit down and read with my eyeballs this week, but I made it through some audio material while I did stuff like transform this boring little Ikea table into an interesting nightstand!

A friend discovered WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU? by chance last week, loved it, and recced it to me. Now we‘re both running around telling people they‘ve gotta read it. It‘s illuminating for anyone who wants to better understand society. #audiocrafting

Ruthiella Very cute table! 🤩 3mo
xicanti @Ruthiella thanks! 3mo

I found this wooden cello puzzle the day after I did the Big Ben one, and I worked it up while I continued my audio WAY OF KINGS reread. It was quick and fun, and now I‘ve gotta decide who to give it to. I don‘t think I know any hardcore cello enthusiasts.

I‘ve also gotta find other things to do while I listen to the last 30% of the book, because now I‘m all out of wooden puzzles. On to regular jigsaw puzzles, I guess? #audiocrafting

TobeyTheScavengerMonk I‘ve decided that 2025 is going to be my year of the Stormlight Archive! Gonna revisit 1 & 2, then onward through 5 (including the interstitial novellas). Part of it is waiting until the first 5 are done, part of it is because they are too big for my brain to retain everything unless I take them at a sprint. Bridge 4 4 life. 3mo
xicanti @TobeyTheScavengerMonk this sounds like an excellent plan. I plan to reread the first four over the next few months to coincide with whenever I‘m able to get a digital copy of the fifth one. I MIGHT reread the novellas, but I don‘t feel especially compelled to. 3mo

I got an express audio copy of THE WAY OF KINGS, which is a LOT to listen to in one week, which is why I‘ve done three wooden puzzles in the last three days and also scrubbed the whole kitchen.

This light-up Big Ben (& associated tower) went to my mum, who‘s mighty taken with it. #audiocrafting

BennettBookworm Woah!! Can I ask what company this puzzle is from? It‘s so beautiful 4mo
xicanti @BennettBookworm they‘re called Rolife. They produce a huge variety of wooden puzzles and also a whole village of miniature building kits. 4mo
BennettBookworm So cool! Thanks! 4mo
