Unraveled Wednesday | 9.6.23
Greetings dear Unravelers! My knitting mojo is on the thin side this week. Soaring temperatures have put the kibosh on a lapful of wooly knitting... so there has been little progress on my Pressed Flowers wrap. Instead I cast on a sock... which is barely begun so you...
Hello, September | 9.5.23
September is the other January. — Gretchen Rubin This quote resonated with me as I turned the calendar to a new month. I am very much loving the idea of beginning again... with so many things. I spent the summer pared back, minimal, letting go of so many things... and...
Unraveled Wednesday | 8.30.23
Greetings Unravelers! We have arrived at the last Wednesday in August! No lies here... I am more than a little excited for September and my week of knitting reflects that. I finished my Pressed Flower Socks and I love them! Kym asked last week about sock thickness......
The Habit of Authenticity | August 2023
Progress requires unlearning. Becoming the best version of yourself requires you to continuously edit your beliefs, and to upgrade and expand your identity. — Jame Clear August has always been my least favorite month of the year. The heat. The humidity. The end of...
In my backyard | 8.25.23
Learning to be still, to really be still and let life happen – that stillness becomes a radiance. — Morgan Freeman In August I savored the stillness... the bird song has slowed. Gone is the territorial songs marking nesting territories so it seems that the birds, as...
Unraveled Wednesday | 8.23.23
Greetings dear Unravelers and Happy Wednesday! Here we are closing in on the end of August and I am very much ready for the humidity and mosquitos to depart! Those two things...my most disliked parts of summer. Those pesky mosquitos have been making morning porch...
A Gathering of Poetry | 8.17.23
I have been thinking about what poem I would share with you all this month for a couple of weeks... going back and forth between several poems that seemed just so perfect for August. This morning I decided that Late Summer by Jennifer Grotz was the winner (but really...
Unraveled Wednesday | 8.15.23
Hello dear Unravelers! It is Wednesday and that means a bit of a check in with my making and reading...and while last week had little progress this week the making and reading are strong! I have been doing some more stitching... and I have broken the 60 minute mark on...
Museum of Me | August 2023
Before we get to our exhibit, I need to pause and reflect on the Lahaina that was and mourn the loss of it... as it was and shall never be again. Decades ago in 1985 my then very significant other took me on the most incredible vacation to Hawaii. He worked hard (and...
Unraveled Wednesday | 8.9.23
Greetings Unravelers! Last week... I finished no books... this week, I have little to nothing to show for my making! First up... I had high hopes to be done with my Hitch on the Move... but I am at the portion of knitting where the rows are LONG... so long. I have...
Welcome August | 8.7.23
August rain: the best of the summer gone, and the new fall not yet born. The odd uneven time. ― Sylvia Plath I am hopeful for some August rain...we need it in Western PA. August... my least favorite month of the summer. My garden is... less than lovely at this point....
Unraveled Wednesday | 8.2.23
Greetings Unravelers! It has been a week of new starts here... yes, I have a raging case of Cast-on-itis. So I have given in and cast on.... I started a new pair of socks, yes those socks! This is a knit is not conducive to mindless knitting... so I have not gotten...
(E)merging Authenticity | 7.31.23
Make a pact with yourself today to not be defined by your past. Sometimes the greatest thing to come out of all your hard work isn't what you get for it, but what you become for it. ― Steve Maraboli, Life, the Truth, and Being Free Last month I coasted with my word,...
In My Backyard | 7.28.23
I have very much been enjoying my blog break... perhaps a bit too much. I have done some serious contemplating on my continued blogging. Most of it has revolved around the "creativity" issue... i.e. Do I have any fresh ideas, thoughts, or anything of value to release...
Unraveled Wednesday | 7.26.23
Greetings and Happy Wednesday, dear Unraveler's! The heat is absolutely on in my neighborhood... Sherman's afternoon outings are not something he or I enjoy... they are short and quick so we can return to the comfort of the AC. I confess I have some unraveling this...
A Gathering of Poetry | July 2023
One of the things I love best about poetry is how it can take me out of myself... and this week's poem does just that! Recently, Ada Limón shared this on Instagram and I knew nothing about NASA's Europa Clipper but I did know that getting a signed copy of the poem was...
Unraveled Wednesday | 7.19.23
Greetings Unravelers! Last week, I shared that I was waiting for the arrival of more Tides to finish Shakerag Skirt #2... The Holst Garn shipping department is magnificent... It should have been here yesterday - 6 days from order to my doorstep, but thanks to the...
Museum of Me, The Music Edition | July 2023
Welcome to this month's exhibit which has been a bit hastily put together... I forgot that a new exhibit was due! This month suggested exhibit: Put together a soundtrack for a day in your life. What songs do you choose and why? What songs and why... well, I think the...
