Whew! It's been a week... and I have arrived on Friday with a completed list! Yes, yes! All the sewing is done! I am closing in the the toe of the second red sock! And I have started on the Vacation List! And I managed to stumble across a few things this week that are...

Thursday’s are for Poetry | 4.20.23

This week is all about love... a difficult subject for me. I am not a flowery, all sorts of love words kind of person. But I began the great Love Poem search both online and scouring my poetry books for something... loving. And after all that searching I still came...

Unraveled Wednesday | 4.19.23

Museum of Me | April 2023

Welcome, welcome! This month's prompt asked about what old, worn out thing can we not part with... I have thought long and hard about this post... and I am twisting it about a bit. Rather than worn out, I have found the well-worn... as in well-worn memories. (and it...

Thursday’s Are For Poetry | 4.13.23

Welcome to the second week of National Poetry Month! This week, we are all sharing a poem by our Poet Laureate, Ada Limón. I have a plethora of Ada Favorites in my poetry collection, but I think the thing I like best about Ada's poetry is the way she lifts women... it...

Unraveled Wednesday | 4.12.23

Greetings Unravelers and Happy Wednesday! It is the week for finished objects in my house... the reason for that is rage-knitting. Although, I hear some of you are rage-weeding and I have done some weeding, but in spurts... perhaps not enough spurts because there are...

Sometimes Monday | 4.10.23

is focused on the search for calm. I confess, I did some rage knitting over the weekend... which resulted in the finishing of my Handspun Sweater. It is getting a good soak and needs a few ends woven in, but I think it will be ready for the big reveal on Wednesday....

Currently | April 2023

April ushers in the second quarter and so it is time for me to share a "currently" post and share some random things that I don't talk about on the regular... Thinking — I have not stopped thinking about this post since I read it. In that one post, Anne has provided...

To Whom It May Concern | 3.31.23

I have not done a 'mail bag' post in too long. My witty-ness seems to have been on hiatus. But then this week provided me with a few letters to send out on the inter-webs. Dear Highly Recommended Physical Therapist, I left my ortho appointment with the delightful Dr....

Unraveled Wednesday | 3.29.23

Greetings Unravelers! March is almost over, April is right around the corner! (And I hope that April will be bringing the nice weather! I am so over cold, grey, rainy, windy, snowy weather!) I have been working a bit on the Easter Gnome – meet Gnormanda! She still...

Inside Authenticity | March 2023

Inside Authenticity | March 2023

March was a month of heavy lifting... interior heavy lifting... which is not always the best blog fodder. Ali Edward's team did not make this month's work any easier... they suggested having a conversation with our word, and so I spent a great deal of time in quiet...

March RIFFing | 3.24.23

March RIFFing | 3.24.23

By March, the worst of the winter would be over. The snow would thaw, the rivers begin to run and the world would wake into itself again. Not that year. Winter hung in there, like an invalid refusing to die. Day after grey day the ice stayed hard; the world remained...

Greetings Unravelers! A small delight filled my brain as I typed the palindrome date... such a simple thing but delightful none the less. Which is perfect because it has been a week of delights! Delight Number One: A finished collar on my handspun sweater. It is...

It is spring again. The earth is like a child that knows poems by heart. ― Rainer Maria Rilke It has been a March of All The Weather... we have had very warm days (72° F on the first!!), some very cold days (a low of 18° F over the weekend, sigh), winds, rain, snow,...
