We are the ones we have been waiting for. — The Elders, Oraibi, Arizona Hopi Nation I have been in dire need of a shake up here at my blog and late last week some inspiration struck. It started with a quote by a some unknown genius: It's just another Magic Monday and...
TGIF | 10.23.20
It is me, or do the weeks somehow seem longer. I don't know why that is, but boy… this week felt so.darned.long! I am chalking this up to the fact that COVID-emic-ELECTION days are some of the longest days ever, amirite? Anyways, this week felt like the perfect time...

Dear Unravelers, Do you ever feel like you are in a "making" rut? I am in a huge making rut and it really sucks! I have things to knit that I want to finish, but boy... there is just no joy in the making right now. (FYI, the following links are to projects on Ravelry)...
Sometimes Monday | 10.19.20
Weeks that feel unending makes for a fly-by weekend...or at least that is how it seemed here. The weekend was over before it began. But maybe not... because I got so much done! My planner set up is working wonderfully and it feels good to have everything together....
Friday Things | 10.16.20
Overnight, the weather has changed...dramatically. Yesterday it was windy and mild... today grey, rainy, and much cooler. It seems that this prediction is spot on, lol... I am shocked because that rarely happens! Oh, and it seems that there is some *snow* in the...

This week, knitting for Olivia has consumed me! I working on the sweetest little layette set that I hope to have winging its way to her in CA soon! The evolution of my knitting has astounded me though... especially in this iteration of the timeless BSJ. I must have...
Oh, Monday | 10.12.20
Last week ended on a stressful note... and then some. Oy. Friday I had a doctors appointment...a stressful thing in itself...and after making it through the "COVID Screening" to get to my doctors office, I thought it would be smooth sailing from there, HA! Sadly, all...

Greetings Unravelers! First up, some incredibly sad news. I had already planned my post for Monday or I would have shared that Annie Modesitt lost her battle with cancer last week Thursday. This tribute posted on FB is exactly how I want to remember Annie. Bon voyage,...
Looking Back | September 2020
September showed up right on schedule, and lasted a whole month. — Jenny Wingfield This was a month that I wish felt like February... short and over almost before it began. The days just dragged on and I had the worst case of the blues in...
Friday Thoughts | 10.2.20
Another week draws to a close with its own set of hiccups. I had hoped to have found more nuggets of time to feed my Acorn Obsession, but I think the diversion is one I would not trade for anything. And while I cannot share photos, I can tell you that I have a new...

Greetings, Unravelers! This week's making is back to Sleeve Island. Slowly, round by round, I am moving towards the cuff...of the first sleeve! lol In voting news, we got an email that our ballots were mailed 8 days ago but we have yet to receive them. Mail at our...

I am joining Honoré again this month to share an update on my word. Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen Hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Appreciate your friends. Continue to learn. Do what you love. Live as if this is...
Weekending | 9.28.20
Hi! I know, I said I was not going to be back until tomorrow, but what can I say. Ha! Do you ever feel in a rut? Well, I can tell you we sure do! Steve and I have been talking about how we are always doing/eating/listening to the same.things.every.week. So this week,...
Friday Finds | 9.25.20
I do not pretend to understand the moral universe, the arc is a long one, my eye reaches but little ways. I cannot calculate the curve and complete the figure by the experience of sight; I can divine it by conscience. But from what I see I am sure it bends towards...

It has been hard to "get back into reality" even with just a few days away. But going anywhere in these Pandemic Times is a challenge, right? Our trip to Erie was no exception, we both worried about staying *any* place...even with the "enhanced cleaning" Airbnb...
Sometimes Monday | 9.21.20
is all about the memories of sunsets and long walks, of the thrill of seeing a kettle of Turkey Vultures floating on the high winds, unexpected artwork, some history, a houseboat community (What?? I might have new summer goals!!), so.much.good.food! and icons (RBG and...

This week's knitting was a brief interlude from sleeve knitting, because I finally got some Winston Measurements from my daughter! So before he grows any more, I picked up his Avery 2.0 Vest! The front is done, and the back is almost done! Which means I will just have...
Sometimes Monday | 9.14.20
Means a cooler start to the week! And the mornings are so dark now. The tables have turned and instead of the sun waiting for me to rise... I am waiting for the sun, which just might be the perfect way to ease into the week. These words by Jericho Brown have lingered...
