Of course, we all know Queen Elizabeth II died, and her funeral is this coming Monday. I don’t really have much to say on the matter, but felt I should acknowledge it, along with the fact Charles is now King Charles III, and Prince William now has the title of Prince of Wales (previously held by Charles).
The United Kingdom is in mourning, as you might expect, and all businesses will be closed on Monday as a mark of respect. It's sad news, though perhaps not entirely unexpected given Queen Elizabeth's advanced years.

Since I don’t have anything more I want to say on the matter at this time, I’m going to move this post along and talk about things that I want to share from my own life. For one thing,I have photos of some of my recent craft creations to show you.

I've been meaning to get you a photo of this crochet daffodil - or my attempt at one - I made a couple of months ago ever since I finished it. Well, here it is at last:

I also made this mini loom knitted hat while trying to learn more loom knitting stitches. It's very small, so I'm not sure what I'll do with it... Maybe make a toy and put it on that? Seems like a good plan. Regardless, here it is:

Last week they were making loom knitted scrunchies in the loom knitting class, so I made one with them. It's purple. Here's a photo of it:

Then, this past Saturday, there was a crochet workshop, and with Halloween around the corner we have some themed classes going on, so during that workshop we made pumpkin-shaped crocheted coasters. Here's a photo of my attempt at making one:

I also want to show you a photo of my new mug. It’s a Ravenclaw mug. There are two photos because they were taken from slightly different angles. Yes, I’m a Ravenclaw. At least, according to all the times I got sorted on the various versions of the Harry Potter websites. And I’m proud to be a Ravenclaw. The blue and bronze colours are fine by me too, since I like the colour combination. Anyway, here’s the mug:

Though it may not appear like it from how short this summary of my week will be, it's been another busy week. Besides crafting and ACB-related activities, my week has revolved around trying to catch up with some things (both online and off) that I've been neglecting, as well as reading as much as I have time for (which isn't nearly as much these days as it used to be) and watching NASCAR races.
Yes. I did say NASCAR.
I ended up getting in to it a bit recently. Who knew cars and trucks driving in circles could be so exciting? I figured I'd check it out - just to see what all the fuss was about - last weekend. Thought I'd have it on as background noise while I read a book on my braille display. Yeah... The reading part didn't end up happening. I really enjoyed the race though. So much that I spent a large chunk of last weekend listening to races through the app, and plan to do the same this weekend. LOL!

That about covers my week. I hope you've had a great week. Feel free to share anything you'd really like me to know about your week in the comments section of this post via whatever platform you're reading this on.
