Currently | July 2023
A new quarter... a new currently list. I love these post to look back on and see what I was doing 3 months ago but I hope you find something interesting or something inspiring in them too! Soaking In — Rainer Maria Rilke... I am so in love with him. I have been...
Unraveled Wednesday | 7.5.23
Greetings Unravelers and Happy Wednesday! **Sorry about this, but I have no clue what happened to my published post, but it is MIA... if you are getting a second notification, that is why.** July brings the beginning of the third quarter... and, more importantly, it...
Welcome July | 2023
I drifted into a summer-nap under the hot shade of July, serenaded by a cicada lullaby, to drowsy-warm dreams of distant thunder. ― Terri Guillemets Oh July... you begin the challenges of my year... you and August are my least favorite months. Your heat and humidity...
Authentic…coasting | June 2023
A month of coasting... that was June with my word. But I don't think that is a bad thing. This month, I read a book that I have not stopped thinking about since I finished it. I am thinking about it when I wake, I am thinking about it as I go through my day, and I am...
A First Friday of Summer RIFF | 6.23.23
First Summer Friday is a rainy one in my neighborhood... but that is okay, we need the rain and it smells so good outside! My tomatoes are growing by leaps and bounds and they are all loaded with tomato blossoms! I hope this means an abundant year of tomatoes... my...
Unraveled Wednesday | 6.21.23
Greetings Unravelers! I have a finished Gnome... and I have very mixed feelings about him. Gnifty is not feeling very nifty to me and those feelings grew as I assembled him last week. But... he has since been speaking to me... he let me know he is a bit of an...
Sometimes Monday…is Juneteenth | 6.19.23
The best thing for any day is poetry... and today is no exception! I stumbled across this beautiful poem by the brilliant Tracy K. Smith (you can listen to her read it here) And if you want to hear the Geechee Gullah Ring Shouters... well, enter the rabbit hole here!...
A Gathering of Poetry | June 2023
I am gathering with Bonny and all the poetry lovers to share some poetry with you all today. (Make sure you stop by and see what we all have shared...and we'd love it even more if you joined us and shared a poem!) Is it just me... or is June racing along? In my mind,...
Unraveled Wednesday | 6.14.23
Greetings Unravelers and Happy Wednesday! It's that time in the week when we all gather together and share what we are making and (perhaps more importantly!) what we are reading! I have an almost finished Mystery Gnome... that I won't share this week because there are...
Sometimes Monday | 6.12.23
Brings some much needed rain! I am hoping that it washes away much of the pollen that is making me miserable! (as well as bring a bit of life back to our very dead lawn!) We did have a good weekend... there was a happy hour that might have celebrated a certain...
Museum of Me | June 2023
Greetings! This month's exhibit is a study in contrasts... the then and now of my Happy Place! And... has my Happy Place changed over the years. When I was much younger my Happy Place was tied to a physical place... my grandparent's home was at the top of that list......
Unraveled Wednesday | 6.7.23
Fat bottomed girlsYou make the rocking world go 'round — Brian May, Queen Greetings Unravelers! First... this post needs a sound track... so here you go: I have one, grand, glorious "sweatskirt" finished... and yes, this fat bottom girl will be living in it for the...
Welcome June | 6.5.23
Green was the silence, wet was the light, the month of June trembled like a butterfly. ― Pablo Neruda, 100 Love Sonnets Welcome June! Although it is so hard to leave May... I am here to embrace every single moment of June... slowly. I want to delight in the tiny...
Unraveled Wednesday | 5.31.23
Greetings Unravelers and Farewell May... sigh. I don't want May to end, it is the loveliest month and I have tried to savor every moment. However, June waits for no one and June does bring a bit of a treat. I have my yarn ready and I am setting aside some time...
Yes! To Authenticity | May 2023
Authenticity is a collection of choices that we have to make every day. It's about the choice to show up and be real. The choice to be honest. The choice to let our true selves be seen. ― Brené Brown, The Gifts of Imperfection This month, Ali Edward's team suggested a...
Late May RIFFing | 5.26.23
It has been a week my friends. Hard things... so many hard things. So this LONG weekend my plan is to just be gentle with myself. Rejoicing — This year my poppy feels like it looks like this and while it is not quite that amazing, this morning there are 17 blooms open...
Unraveled Wednesday | 5.24.23
Greetings Unravelers! I hinted on Monday about organizing my in-process knitting and starting a bit of a Summer KAL... you are welcome to join if you wish! I had an overflowing knitting bag, full of in process knits. Some, sadly, have been lingering around for too...
Sometimes Monday | 5.22.23
is a good day to check in with myself... Why? Well it really feels like May is racing by much too quickly! And thanks to our brief, but spectacular, vacation there was no "Welcome May" post and so I am feeling a bit adrift this month. I have accomplished much......
