A Gathering of Poetry | 1.19.23
I first heard this poem a couple of years ago and late last year, I got myself a new book for my Poetry Library (Happy Birthday to ME!) and I was happily surprised to find it there as well. This poem is for teachers everywhere, who teach all the amazing things every...
Unraveled Wednesday | 11.18.23
Greetings dear Unravelers! We are racing through January... yikes! As I am typing this I cannot believe that the month is more than half over. Big hint... Thus far, I don't have much to show for the month! I have reached the halfway point in my Pressed Flowers...
Sometimes Monday | 1.16.23
...is for remembering. Out of the mountain of despair, a stone of hope. — MLK Jr. I have long been a fan of Martin Luther King Jr. and I loved his "I have a dream" speech... and have watched it dozens and dozens of times. It provides the most "cherry picked" quotes by...
Museum of Me | Stardate 2801.13
Greetings Gentle Visitors! As a younger person, I truly loved Star Trek and this month our exhibit is one that has us traveling into the future... the near future, but the future nonetheless. Never fear though, the journey will be delightful! Dear Old Scotty is the...
Unraveled Wednesday | 1.11.23
Greetings Unravelers! Welcome to the day that holds me accountable for what I am making... one of my favorite days! And this one has a fun play with numbering 1.11.23... But, even better is that tonight is the Read With Us discussion on The Marriage Portrait... which...
Sometimes Monday | 1.9.23
Is for a bit of celebration... Yes, on a Monday! This morning started a "normal" week with Steve back at the office! Which means my normal routine is being resumed, which makes me very happy. Granted, it will be a short-lived celebration because he has next Monday...
Currently | January 2023
Happy First Friday, Everyone! I thought I'd share a quick "snapshot" of what's currently holding my attention. Anticipating — A visit to a new PCP this month. I will say it is a nervous anticipation. I have filled out a thick stack of health forms which has me...
Unraveled Wednesday | 1.4.23
Greetings dearest Unravelers! New Year, New Project? Or New Year, New Technique? For me, the answer right now... on the first Wednesday of 2023 is neither! (Although, I'd really like to overcome my Brioche Fear in 2023, but I don't think January is the month for...
Welcome to My Word | 1.2.23
Hello 2023 and Hello Authenticity! It has been a bit of a journey to get here, but the time for dancing around the elephant in the room is done. I am going to bring some baggage with me though, which I am hoping will make this journey a bit easier...yay for all I...
An Unraveled Review | 12.28.22
What really knocks me out is a book that, when you're all done reading it, you wish the author that wrote it was a terrific friend of yours and you could call him up on the phone whenever you felt like it. That doesn't happen much, though. ― J.D. Salinger, The Catcher...
Full, Filling, Empty | December 2022
Filling what’s empty and emptying what’s full. ― Terry Pratchett, A Hat Full of Sky I have spent a year contemplating full and it has been a wise use of my time! I used Mary Oliver's Summer Day as my starting point, and particularly these lines: Tell me, what else...
A Final pre-Holiday RIFF | 12.23.22
Our hearts grow tender with childhood memories and love of kindred, and we are better throughout the year for having, in spirit, become a child again at Christmastime. ― Laura Ingalls Wilder Today, I hope to do a bit of what Halfpint so nobly encourages us to do......
Unraveled Wednesday | 12.21.22
After the longest night, tomorrow we sing up the dawn. There is a rejoicing that, even in the darkest time, the sun is not vanquished. As of tomorrow, the days begin to get longer as the light of day grows. While the gentle winter sun slowly opens its eyes, let us all...
Sometimes Monday | 12.19.22
Usher's in crunch time... I don't know about any of you, but the Holiday Blues are definitely a thing... at least for me they are. My expectations have often been the trigger for those blues... as in my expectations are HIGH and reality never quite hits that level....
A Gathering of Poetry | December 2022
It's the third Thursday of December and that can mean just one thing...it's the day to share a poem! December is a month that overflows with poetry for me. Maybe it is the darker mornings, maybe it is the twinkle lights, maybe it is the season... but December finds me...
Unraveled Wednesday | 12.14.22
Greetings Unravelers! This week, I might have entirely jumped the Knitting Shark... I am knitting the actual packages not just the gifts! LOL Yes, our "surprise" this week was a Stack of Presents to knit and stitch! And what do presents need? A tree of course. So I...
Sometimes Monday | 12.12.22
Is all about books! Never trust anyone who has not brought a book with them. ― Lemony Snicket, Horseradish While we were very much a Harry Potter House... there was a good bit of Lemony Snicket to fill the 'regularly scheduled reading time'... and I very much concur...
Museum of Me | December 2022
The prompt this month is to talk about the best Christmas gift we ever got. First, how about a bit of Christmas Gifting Music? And nobody recites a Christmas List better than Eartha Kitt! Now, I could spend some time talking about the puppy my sister and I got one...
