KonMari Döstädning
Or, what I did on my weekend. Who knew that while living worlds apart, Marie Kondo and Margareta Magnusson were traveling the same path. I am well into reading The Gentle Art of Swedish Death Cleaning (or döstädning) and it has invigorated me and filled with all kinds...
October what?
How on earth is it already October 20?!? Amirite? But, how is this perfect fall weather? Outside of Monday when frost greeted Sherman and I for our morning constitutional, it has been most gloriously beautiful. Crisp, cool mornings that give way to sunny, warm days....
Three on Thursday, October 19
Today's post is going to be fast (and furious!) as I am still working through my lists, although I am nearing completion! Thing 1: Some semblance of Halloween decorating will be happening here today. This may involve outside lights of some sort or other. Really. I...
Unraveled Wednesday, October 18
Hello Unravelers! In the "finish up project's" queue, I am finally on the last clue of Laura Aylor's Sand Ripples shawl. Oh, the love! I am really happy with this! Our weather turned this week, which is great incentive to get this done because it will be awesome to...
With my nose to the grindstone…
I managed to check several things off my lists from yesterday! Applesauce is done (and today it is going in the freezer once I have organized it a bit!) AND…the charity knitting is done and it will get a nice Soak™ bath and some blocking this morning! I do have one...
Back to Reality
This week my lists are full (yes, that is lists!) The art of list juggling is not fun, but over the weekend I made lists as I thought of things - and where I thought of those things, which was not always in my office at the "master list". I should consolidate, but the...
Hello, Weekend!
TGIF! (Even on a Friday the 13th!!) I mean really, what is better after a nice long vacation than the weekend, amirite? As I ease back into real life (as opposed to fake life? LOL Or, how about the 'normal routine' haha!) the weekend is just what I needed! And it...
Three on Thursday, October 12
Vacations are a very good thing, but sometimes re-entry is hard. This is one of those sometimes. Thing 1: One of the best things about vacation was that I "pre-planned" blog posts. It was great because all I needed to do was plug-in a photo or two and add some details...
Unraveled Wednesday, October 11
Our trip last week included a stop at Wool & Honey - the most amazing yarn shop in the middle of nowhere! This shop is really spectacular and their array of yarns is really wonderful. Oh, and they have the Sleeping Bear Yarn Club! I did do a little stash...
Travel Tuesday
Today we are heading home from Michigan. But, I will leave you with this incredible photo of Lake Michigan. I wonder who the lucky bride and groom were! Keep your fingers crossed for moderate traffic and smooth travels! See you back here tomorrow!
Melancholy Monday
This is our last Monday here in Michigan! Boo hoo! Our last day with this amazing view from our front porch. Those blue skies! The weekend was filled with such fun though and I will just leave you all with this montage of photos! I hope you all have a very happy...
Vacation Friday’s
So, the only knitting I have even done is to work briefly on this long-in-progress hat. It has been cold enough, I am wishing it was long-completed! Tomorrow, a day of outdoor beer drinking festivities! But, I do have some links this week! First up, Itty Bitty Kitty...
Three on Thursday, October 5
This week's things are all about Michigan! Thing 1: So much good beer. I feel like I am in the Microbrewery Capital of the World. (Okay, maybe not, but #5 is not a bad spot to vacation in!) We are making the rounds and will catch up with all we missed on Saturday at...
Unraveled Wednesday, October 4
As you can see not much knitting has been happening on vacation. However, there has been amazing scenery, awesome meals, and LOTS of family time happening. Which makes me miss knitting not at all! On the reading front, I am still reading 4 3 2 1, but I only have about...
September Stitching
I am not sure I am liking the grey linen for this quarter. It is a little darker than I thought it would be, but I am forging ahead with it. However, in September, I learned some new-to-me techniques of applique. Wool felt is truly a thing of beauty. I had no idea at...
Sometimes Monday, October 2
Is Pure Michigan! The view in my "front yard" is wonderful. Airbnb FTW! We had an awesome weekend catching up with the kids. Up next, Lake Michigan...ahhhh. Have an amazing Monday! P.S. Kathy shared this amazing link on Saturday, jewelry for the bibliophile!...
Getaway Friday
The final touches of packing are happening today. That's right, we are heading out to visit my kids. Woollelujah! has been packed and is ready to go. It contains a little bit of this and that - some pay attention knitting and some mindless knitting. My goal, one...
Three on Thursday, September 28
This week, just 3 things. Really. No more, no less. Thing 1: While walking last week I found these two stunning feathers. I wondered what bird they might have come from; my initial thoughts were either a hawk or an owl. Well, I was wrong on both counts. They are wild...
