Friday Finds | 5.6.22
When April steps aside for May, like diamonds all the rain-drops glisten; fresh violets open every day; to some new bird each hour we listen. ― Lucy Larcom I thought this quote was fitting, especially for the weekend weather forecast Pittsburgh has... lots and lots...
Unraveled Wednesday | 5.4.22
I wish I could be perky and cheerful today... but I am not. The leaked news this week was a gut punch... although I was expecting that very outcome, reading the leaked brief made it a reality that I don't want to accept. In my life, I never imagined that I would lose...
If you buy a sofa… | 5.2.22
Greetings! In the Weekend From Hell Category, I (we?) scored a ten. Although perhaps that should be a negative ten...because hell. Ha! We have "been on the lookout" for a sofa for some time now....but most sofa's are too big for our living room. So when we discovered...
Presque Isle | 4.29.22
As I shared on Monday, I did not take my usual number of photos on this visit to Presque Isle in Erie. But the lack of images does not diminish the memories...at all. Rather, I think, the lack of photos has sharpened my memories because I spent...
Thursday’s are for Poetry | 4.28.22
Today is one of my favorite days...it's Poem In Your Pocket Day! It's a day to carry a poem with you... and perhaps you will even then invite poetry into the remaining days of the year. I debated about what poem should I share this month. I contemplated Joyce Kilmer's...
Unraveled Wednesday | 4.27.22
I did practically no knitting on vacation, although I took two projects...sigh. But!! I came home to find three blooms on the new lilac shoots that have sprung up from the dying bush Steve trimmed back last fall. (I began the discussion of digging the lilac bush...
Expanding Full | April 2022
Four months into my word and I really am surprised at the Full Discoveries that April brought! When I began this journey with full I considered "being full" to have distinct boundaries. Either you are full... or you are not...and with that idea in mind, I began to...
Thursday’s are for Poetry | 4.21.22
The theme for this week is Forgiveness. Hmmm. Okay. I vaguely remembered reading a poem about forgiveness... but could I find it? It turns out that was quite a challenge... but, thankfully, not one that was at all painful! I spent an afternoon perusing my poetry...
Unraveled Wednesday | 4.20.22
Very little knitting has happened since last week but that is not necessarily a bad thing! Instead we have been braving the windy cold weather and trekking all over Presque Isle in Erie PA! Yesterday we even "enjoyed" the lake effect flurries that joined us on a very...
Thursday’s are for Poetry | 4.14.22
In this week's poetry installment we are all sharing a poem by Sharon Olds. She is a prolific poet and you could get lost for days and days in her poetry books. The poem I have selected is from Stag's Leap...poetry that shares her journey from from grief to healing...
Unraveled Wednesday | 4.13.22
This week a knitting milestone... I have reached Cruising Altitude on my Tegna. Yep. I am cruising along with miles of stockinette... which makes it the perfect pick up and put down knit! So I have gotten lots of minutes of knitting in! Washing machine going...pick up...
Sometimes Monday | 4.11.22
Is for lists of things... good and not so great. I would ask you if you want the good or the not so great first, but since you are not here... I will get the not so great out of the way. If your Monday is Monday enough without any more not so great, please skip ahead...
Museum of Me | April 2022
In a perfect world, I would read all instructions clearly. Sigh. That's right. Last month I shared a job I used to have... which is this month's prompt. So... This month, I am sharing something I collect...which was last month's prompt! Anyways, I have a deep love for...
Thursday’s are for Poetry | 4.7.22
This week's theme is hope. Whew. What a week for hope, huh? He that lives upon hope will die fasting. — Benjamin Franklin I have always thought that hope was a singular thing... something you had inside you... or had to find inside you. Or if you could not find it...
Unraveled Wednesday | 4.6.22
I did not plan on being 'absent' on Monday... but the news out of Ukraine put a damper on my planned post for the day. For me, it seemed that sharing something in light of the news out of Bucha just seemed... wrong. And while it does not seem any better to share such...
Currently | 4.1.22
Welcome to the Second Quarter, Gentle Readers! I am wondering how on earth I am welcoming April... no fooling! This year seems to be moving at a pace slightly faster than warp speed... sigh. However, my Blog Calendar tells me that today is the day for my Currently...
Unraveled Wednesday | 3.30.22
Greetings Unraveler's and Happy Wednesday! I have been very productive since we last talked! I spent some time going through my stash... and I culled quite a few things. So now when I look in my "Yarn Cupboard" I can clearly see what is there, and it has been...
Full and Contentment | March 2022
We need much less than we think we need. ― Maya Angelou This month I have contemplated full from a different perspective... rather than comparing it to emptiness, I considered contentment. And Maya is so very correct... I need much less than I think I need. The Less...
