Day Two of NaBloPoMo and so far, SO GOOD! I know, it is laughable and I am joking but, I hope that in this joke you also see how easy and fun NaBloPoMo is! So, now on to my things…. Thing One: November stitching… So, what does it mean if you dream in stitching? I...

You all have no idea how hard it is to turn the calendar page this month. I am really not ready for this year to be over, but despite my best efforts it is speeding by at what feels like warp speed. But, here we go, and this morning kicks off NaBloPoMo and I am ready...
NaBloPoMo Eve
I have just one question: Will you join me or not? In an attempt to help make this something that is fun!! (Really!! Blogging is fun!) I am going to share with you my game plan for NaBloPoMo success! This will be my third year in a row of being an active participant...
Weekending, October 30
The weekend weather made any outside activities a bust (unless you love it cold, windy, and rainy…) but we made it the perfect interior weekend despite the exterior conditions! Saturday morning, we made our final visit of the season to our favorite farmer who will be...
A Frosty Friday
The temperatures dipped into the frosty range last night, but today we are supposed to get up into the 70's. This pairs with splotches of color finally showing up on the trees in my neighborhood! And despite this chilly start, I am so happy for the weekend to be here!...

So many things, so little time! And, this week picking just three things is going to be a challenge! Thing One: The weather has changed here this week to a much cooler sort. And, not in a bad way at all because this has stirred the urge for more fall like foods....

No unraveling here, but there has been lots of knitting. I am somehow speed-knitting along on Rusty – there is something so meditative about knitting in the round. It is doubly pleasurable when paired with an excellent audiobook! This is not travel knitting though...
Vacation Memories
I took so many photos while we were on vacation, and while a good number of them were taken with my phone – I did take a quite a few with the "big camera". Here are my big camera vacation memories. (With a few iPhone photos interspersed!) I hope you enjoy! [video...
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....

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...

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...

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...

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!
