Monday Questions | 11.8.21
(a weekend update, and an answer!) Debate over the Vintage Mixer continued on Friday evening and we made a plan for Saturday morning. Our plan... if and when it became too full to move around and still maintain safe distancing that would be our key to leaving. We...
Falling Into Friday | 11.5.21
In November, the smell of food is different. It is an orange smell. A squash and pumpkin smell. It tastes like cinnamon and can fill up a house in the morning, can pull everyone from bed in a fog. Food is better in November than any other time of the year. — Cynthia...
Unraveled Wednesday | 11.3.21
Greetings Unravelers!! First, I'd like to thank you all for weighing in on cardboard recycling! It is a challenge to be an avid recycler living with a rather lackadaisical recycler... and while I am all for compromise on many things - this is not one of them. Now to...
Monday Questions | 11.1.21
“October extinguished itself in a rush of howling winds and driving rain and November arrived, cold as frozen iron, with hard frosts every morning and icy drafts that bit at exposed hands and faces.” ― J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix My October...
Friday Thoughts | 10.29.21
“I'm so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers.” ― L. M. Montgomery, Anne of Green Gables If you ignore all the news in the world, October was simply a glorious month. Perfect autumnal weather... darker morning and evenings, some rain, some sun to warm the...
Unraveled Wednesday | 10.27.21
Greetings Unravelers! Though it pains me to say it, welcome to the final Wednesday in October. I am in a bit of shock that the month raced by as rapidly as it did. This week, I have practically nothing on the knitting front to share... nary a stitch was knit on that...
Release | October 2021
I am unbelievably ready to release release and because that is all I could think about this month... I have begun thinking about my word for next year and some amazing possibilities are floating around over here! There is nothing like the excitement of a new...
Falling into Friday | 10.22.21
It was a random week, punctuated by a few maddening moments. With the latest update from my daughter... the tooth is still wiggly. Or at least it was on Monday! My daughter is back at work, which means Winston is in daycare and has had one illness after another. While...
Unraveled Wednesday | 10.20.21
Autumn has been teasing us this week with cooler mornings that give way to mild afternoons. I am soaking up each and every moment of these most welcome days! Has my Knitting Mojo returned? Well... there is a finished Gnorwen (who has been delivered to Steve's mom...
Monday Odds and Ends | 10.18.21
I usually write Monday's post on Sunday afternoon... usually. Yesterday no inspiration struck at all so Monday morning arriving sans blog post is leaving me feeling a bit like the kid who did not do *any* of their homework over the weekend. Hoo boy... Welcome to the...
Falling into Friday | 10.15.21
Whew! Re-entry week almost over and it feels like "normal" life is more normal! My day started out incredibly when Steve sent me this link for my listening pleasure! (Adele's new album drops Nov. 19 and I.can't.wait!!) The Loose Tooth is still hanging in there! (Heidi...
Unraveled Wednesday | 10.13.21
There was barely a stitch knit during my time away. It is the longest I have gone without knitting that I can remember... well, since before I became a knitter! I attempted to remedy that knitting void upon my return but things like laundry and groceries jumped to the...

Unraveled Wednesday | 9.29.21
Hello, Unravelers! Last week there was little to no making because we were gone for 10-ish days. (There was some sewing and the elastic waist band insertion and hemming of said sewing is on my list for today!) This week there has been little to no making because we...
Release | September 2021
Everything in life goes back to the basics. — Kron Gracie This month's prompt encouraged us to go back to basics with our word. Okay. So this month I tried to search out "back to basics" with my word and I had some wins! This year I have really focused on staying in...
Falling into Friday | 9.24.21
It feels like Autumn turned off the summer switch and plunged us directly into fall here in Western PA. Late Wednesday afternoon some storms pushed through bringing rain, winds, and much cooler temperatures. Thursday morning was all about the layers for Sherman's...

Delicious Autumn! My very soul is wedded to it, and if I were a bird I would fly about the earth seeking the successive autumns. — George Eliot Greetings AUTUMN!! (And, Greetings, Unravelers!) My most favorite season officially arrives this afternoon... despite the...
Sometimes Monday | 9.20.21
...brings a return to 'normalcy' with the end of a brief, but spectacular, vacation. Normalcy... what a word, huh? Perhaps not the best since I have been feeling anything but normal these days! I confess that I have been struggling a bit recently... Feeling...
