Unraveled Wednesday | 3.1.23
Greetings Unravelers! It's Wednesday. It's March. And I have some making *thoughts* to share! I have been contemplating that gorgeous corduroy I got some months ago... that I have done nothing with. I had the idea that it would work for this pattern and I even made a...
An Authenticity Manifesto | February 2023
Perhaps you will then gradually, without noticing it, live along some distant day into the answer. — Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters To A Young Poet. I hinted Friday that this month turned into a delightful adventure. But it certainly did not start out that way!...
RIFFing to bid February Adieu | 2.24.23
This week has been a Weather Roller Coaster... we have had temps in the 70's and the 30's. Let me just say that this mornings 30° felt bitterly cold after yesterday's 72° and I was so glad that I had mitts tucked in the pockets of my coat for Sherman's morning...
Unraveled Wednesday | 2.22.23
Greetings Unravelers. It is a day of many things; it's the last Wednesday the month and it is Ash Wednesday which brings return of "Fish Fry Season" (at least in my corner of the world!) And it is, of course, a day to share what we are making and what the books have...
Sometimes Monday | 2.20.23
Is a continuation of the weekend. I thought I'd share some of the things that have made my weekend extra wonderful! First, I saw this on IG and I had a batch of focaccia in the fridge... so on Saturday I did a bit of a riff on it. One russet potato, a couple of...
Mid-Winter Friday Finds | 2.17.23
I don't know about you, but I have found since I turned the "50's" corner, I have struggled mightily each year with an ever worsening case of the dreaded Dry Winter Skin! Usually, by mid-February, there is not enough moisturizer in North America to make a difference....
A Gathering of Poetry | 2.16.23
I read the poem I am sharing today earlier in the month and I did not know then how much these words would help me as the month progressed. I have memorized these words – it was simple to do so – and they have become my litany of hope as February has had some daunting...
Unraveled Wednesday | 2.15.23
Greetings Gentle Unravelers! I am still feeling behind on sleep from a weekend of insomnia, but I got one good nights sleep and (at this writing) have my fingers crossed for a second. But I wanted to catch you all up from the past two weeks of making!! I am roughly...
Sometimes Monday | 2.13.23
Brings a slow start thanks to a bad bout of insomnia this weekend. Ugh. So I am easing myself into the week gently, with an extra cup of coffee before I begin the "Monday Chores." But there is sunshine again today! And I have some weekend embroidery wheels to catch up...
A Few Good Things | 2.10.23
Hello Friday... it's been a week where my motto has been this: "The hurrieder I go, the behinder I get" I have felt like I have been playing catch up all week but there were a few good things. Thing One: I have had tremulous buds on my snow drops for weeks and I...
Unraveled Wednesday | 2.8.23
Greetings Unravelers! It is Wednesday and I don't have my painting homework done (which is due by noon today... so guess what I am doing this morning! LOL) It has been a week that I feel "behind" ... terribly behind! I begin each day with a plan of action but then a...
Sometimes Monday | 2.6.23
is overflowing with good things from the weekend. Krista Tippett's On Being podcast returned last week, but I did not listen to the episode until Saturday. I am hitting replay this morning... it was just that good! I have also gotten on the waitlist for Dacher...
Hello February | 2.3.23
And Hello Friday! It's been a week, hasn't it? How about an update on all.things.medical first... On Monday, the Nurse Practitioner called with my blood test results...sigh. My cholesterol was not at good levels and had jumped extraordinarily since my last blood work....
Unraveled Wednesday | 2.1.23
Greetings Unravelers and Welcome February! January was such a good month for me! I knit one gnome... and have a healthy start on another. I have his arms to finish... and you will note that Vera is my Gnome Whisperer! Dear Gnorton has a beard and braids! Now I need to...
Getting to know you… Authenticity | January 2023
Here I am almost at the end of January and my word demands that I share with you that it has been a bit of a rocky start... Confession time; more than once this month I have asked myself why I picked this word! However, one thing I am not is a quitter...and so I...
The Doldrums of “Winter” Riffing | 1.27.23
The "January Thaw" has been more like the "January Revolving Door" in my neighborhood... wintery-mix-rain-repeat. Proof of this weird weather is evident with this: I have Snowdrops that with 5 minutes of sunshine will likely bloom today (I will be watching to get a...
Unraveled Wednesday | 1.25.23
Greetings Unravelers! This week is truly a week for unraveling... issues. So let's get started! First, I thought I'd give you all a very brief update on my experiences at the new doctor yesterday. No... there were no C3PO-style staff. Whew, right? But I am still...
Sometimes Monday | 1.23.23
Brings the dreaded long awaited doctors appointment. Yes, I am a bit nervous. A new doctor. A new office. A new system...although if the pre-check in text that I got on Friday is a hint, it might be easier! AND... 20 minutes before my appointment I will get another...
