TGIF | 2.15.19
Another week draws to a close and this one ushers in a long weekend! Yes, Steve has Monday off and he is going to the car show with a friend. Add to that we are more than half way through the month! Yes – in two weeks from today we welcome March! For as long as...
Three on Thursday | 2.14.19
Joining with Carole today to share three things today! Thing One: There was a sunrise this morning!! With some blue skies! I know – that is one heck of an amazing thing, especially in Pittsburgh! Sadly, the sunshine and blue skies were not long lived, and it is grey...
Unraveled Wednesday | 2.13.19
Sometimes the "unraveling" happens inside your brain. I had thought that I had figured out how to proceed with my Thea Rachelle Raglan, but then I saw something on Instagram that stopped me in my tracks. Someone sewed the "vision" I had, and it was not at all what I...
Sometimes Monday | 2.11.19
Are grey and sloppy! Yep, we got about 5 inches of very wet, sloppy snow over night and there is a lovely mixture of snow and rain falling this morning. All this makes this Monday the perfect day to tackle a few projects that I have been putting off ignoring. What...
TGIF | 2.8.19
Hello, Friday! I am so glad you are here! It's been a crazy week and I am more than ready for the weekend to be here! I have no major plans this weekend other than doing some catch up reading because I have a book due on Monday and there is a wait list for it, so I...
Three on Thursday | 2.7.19
I am joining Carole for Three on Thursday today! And this week, my brain has been full of dreams… garden dreams!! Which have been aptly inspired by the Baker Seed Catalog! Thing One: Even though they have an incredibly short bloom time, I have a crazy love for...
Unraveled Wednesday | 2.6.19
No unraveling yet this month, and I am making some good progress on my shawl of many colors! In my reorganization of the yarn stash, I found 2 more colors of KSH that I did not know I had and added them to the mix. I used one this week and I am now crossing off the...
Weekending | 2.4.19
After last week's bitter cold ended on Saturday! While the morning started with icy crystals they soon vanished with the sunshine and temps for the weekend hung out in the upper 50's! And this week looks like more "spring" weather is queued up for the week! Yeah. It...

"Why is equality so assiduously avoided? Why does white America delude itself, and how does it rationalize the evil it retains? – Martin Luther King Jr. Hello, Friday and Welcome February! The January that seemed to go on forever has finally ended and a new month is...
Unraveled Wednesday | 1.30.19
Welcome to the last Unraveled Wednesday of January and I am so happy that this long-ass month is over! For all the days this month I surely should have accomplished more than I did! I had foolish hopes that my ADVENTurer wrap would be closer to being done and truly,...
Focusing Inward
Stop looking forward to things, look inward instead. Kamand Kojouri After spending almost 30 days with my word for 2019 I am more confident than ever that focus is the right word for me this year. But, wow – there is so much to unpack with this word! I have spent much...
Weekending | 1.27.19
The weekend seemed a bit anti-climactic after last weekend's weather drama, but a quiet winter weekend was truly a lovely thing. There was some snow, some cold, and glory of glories there was even some sunshine!! All this added up to another quiet, stay at home...
TGIF | 1.25.19
No winter lasts forever; no spring skips its turn. – Hal Borland This week marked a visible increase in daylight arriving earlier and lingering well after 5PM so this quote seemed most appropriate for today. And then I saw something that made me really smile! Only...
Three on Thursday | 1.24.19
Joining up with Carole today to share a few things about me! Thing One: I have for quite some time in my life experienced long bouts of insomnia. And by long, I mean weeks at a time until exhaustion overtakes the insomnia and I get a couple of nights of sleep. I am in...
Unraveled Wednesday | 1.23.19
It's Wednesday and that can mean just one thing – making and reading!! On the making front – there was a bit of unraveling this week. My yarn selection for Ysolda's shawl was not good. I worked "clue one" with no problems, but "clue two" is where the problems arose....
Weekending | 1.20.19
Greetings from a sunny but very cold wintry wonderland! The weekend forecast was the stuff of a weatherperson's dreams – all the weather in one day so, we braved the crazed "Armageddon" crowds at the grocery store to get a couple of things. Really not the most...
TGIF | 1.18.19
Even though it feels like January is moving at a snail's pace – it is Friday again! And, perhaps this weekend I might even be motivated (i.e. feel good enough) to get more things done. Last weekend it took me all weekend, but I cleaned and organized my Craft...
Unraveled Wednesday | 1.16.19
Greetings Unravelers! I am just a few LONG rows away from finishing Sarah Jordan's Mini Maximization! Stay tuned for glamor shots next week! In order to show you something NEW and interesting this week, I have some spinning to show you. I have finished skein three of...
