Three on Thursday, November 30
Today's three things are all about celebration! So, first, a little listening music for this celebration post! Thing 1: Today is the final day of another successful NaBloPoMo! Yahoo! This is our celebration! Thing 2: My November stitching will get its last stitches...
Unraveled Wednesday, November 29
No unraveling here at all this week, just plenty of sweater love! This is my finished Rusty, which turned out better than I could have imagined. Things I would change…I reduced the number of stitches picked up, but I think I could have reduced a tiny bit more. But, it...
Tuesday Things, November 28
I had absolutely no clue what to write about today and then the swissmiss newsletter came! And, especially this link! I have: Rosemary Wire Yarn Perhaps a bit of a riff on this. I am thinking this will be the most festive accompaniment to my Christmas decorations! Who...
The Monday-ist Monday, November 27
Why is it that the Monday after a nice long weekend is even more Monday than usual? That is what my Monday is looking like, my list is long, and I feel like time is not on my side today! We had an awesome weekend with lots of good things to eat. Okay, perhaps too many...
Sunday Reflections, November 26
This was the sunrise that greeted me yesterday morning. It was glorious indeed. Then when I later read this passage from Wendell Berry's A Small Porch, it seemed the perfect picture to accompany this beautiful text. A Small Porch: Sabbath Poems 2014 and 2015 By...
Simply Saturday, November 25
In order for the light to shine so brightly, the darkness must be present. Francis Bacon. Today is all about embracing the darkness to let our lights shine! And, perhaps, if the rain holds off, getting our outside lights up! Happy last Saturday of NaBloPoMo...
Long Weekend Friday
I have to say, I really love long weekends that begin on Wednesday night and are filled with good food and even better company! This is that sort of weekend and while we will head out to participate in the rush of shopping, it won't be the focus of the day. Here is...
Three on Thursday, November 23
Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Today's post is short and simple, I've got some cooking to do! Today my things are things that I am profoundly thankful for! Thing 1: Thing 2: Thing 3: Wondering what others might have on their lists today? Head on over to Carole's to see...
Unraveled Wednesday, November 22
Hello Unravelers! It's the pre-Thanksgiving Unraveled, and I don't know about you, but there has been little knitting OR reading around here this week. But, I do have another sweater in progress! I am making my way through the colorwork section of the yoke but with...
A Mini-Vacation
Steve had jury duty again on Monday so I took a vacation day to see all the Christmas (which was especially wonderful because it was not super crowed and I did not have anyone complaining while I spent my time soaking it all in!) It was super cold, but the sun was out...
Button, button
By the time you read this, the ribbon facing will be stitched on and the buttons all sewn in place! Glamor shots coming shortly! However, the good news is that my Nana's button collection had oodles of choices. I went with 10 matching buttons (and there are still 5...
Sunday Reflections, November 19
In a world where finding even the tiniest shred of good news seems to be a daunting task, this floated to the surface this week. And, just when you think that public figure and disrepute are interchangeable, thank you Bill Murray for showing us that is not always the...
Simply Saturday, November 18
TODAY by Mary Oliver Today I'm flying low and I'm not saying a word. I'm letting all the voodoos of ambition sleep. The world goes on as it must, the bees in the garden rumbling a little, the fish leaping, the gnats getting eaten. And so forth. But I'm taking the day...
T-freaking-GIF, November 17
Okay, seriously…not everyone in my house is happy it is Friday. I should probably be more sedate in my enthusiasm for the week's end since Steve was selected to serve on jury today of all days. Now, if you live in Pittsburgh you already know what the problem is, for...
Three on Thursday, November 16
It seems like there is a lot of hectic going around lately! Must be the season, amirtie? Thing 1: Thing 2: Thing 3: Sometimes, simplicity wins. Want to see what things everyone is talking about today? Head on over to Carole's to see!
Unraveled Wednesday, November 15
Hello Unravelers! I am sorry this post is so late today, but I have been working on a new project which has been consuming lots of my "brain time" as well as available hours in the day time. Now, this is not at all a bad thing and I feel very blessed and so excited to...
Currently, November 14
The mind moves in the direction of our current dominant thoughts. Earl Nightingale Finishing: I am closing in on the finish of the body of my Rusty. My goal for today is to finish these last few rows and get my crochet steeks done so that I can cut it apart tonight at...
It’s beginning to sound a lot like Christmas!
Last week I "pulled the trigger" and started listening to Christmas music on the Sonos. I know, what was I thinking? Except, it was a super grey, super depressing week and I needed a pick me up and the best pick me up I know is Christmas music. And, even though it is...
