Sometimes Monday | 12.9.24
Brings a reprieve! That's right... temps the next few days are heading into the mild 50's! And that means that I can get all my hyacinth bulbs tucked away for the winter AND I can get the holiday lights up outside! It is even raining, so those bulbs will get a nice...

It is December, and nobody asked if I was ready. — Sarah Kay Hello December, How are you here already?! I mean, I swear it was just July! I know that I might have silently wished for a cool December breeze on one of the many hot July afternoons... but really, it was...
A Planner Extravaganza | 11.29.24
Without leaps of imagination or dreaming, we lose the excitement of possibilities. Dreaming, after all, is a form of planning. — Gloria Steinem Amen, dear Gloria, AMEN! I have used the same planner for over 10 years. It is a system that has served me well, I have...
Unraveled Wednesday | 11.27.24
Greetings dear Unravelers! In a week when most of the making is likely happening in the kitchen... I do have a spot of actual knitting content to share! With a blast of wintry weather heading our way, I knew that wee Franklin would need a bigger sweater to stay warm!...

A Gathering of Poetry | November 2024
I contemplated skipping the poetry today... because, I completely forgot about it. But I pulled out the poetry book I am reading this year (although, I have not read a lick of poetry from it since you know who arrived!) and serendipitously, it fell open to the poem I...
Unraveled Wednesday | 11.20.24
Greetings Gentle Unraveler's and Happy Wednesday! First, I apologize for the low light photo... it was a rainy day with little to no light here. But we desperately need the rain, so I am not complaining. There has been a bit of making this week... thank goodness! As...
Sometimes Monday | 11.18.24
Is about how much time isn't left.... I am very much feeling the fleeting time of the days as they race past me. They are moving at Usian Bolt speed... I blink and the day is over. Then I look at the calendar and count that there are only 6 weeks left in the year and...

Unraveled Wednesday | 11.13.24
Greetings Gentle Unraveler's and Happy (??) Wednesday. This is our time to gather to share our making and reading. This week the thing that is most unraveled is me... and I am in the process of rewinding myself. This week is slightly better than last week when I...
Sometimes Monday… | 11.11.24
...is for trying to ease back into "normalcy." Whatever that is... although from my perspective, it is very disconcerting. I have very much unplugged from all media since last Wednesday. I had not read or listened or watched any news, not even NPR's brief Morning...
Unraveled Wednesday | 11.6.24
Greetings Unraveler's and what the actual eff... I had a very different beginning that I changed at roughly 1:30AM. I confess to being more than a bit dumbfounded and truly disgusted at what looks like the outcome yesterday. I will post this but honestly everything I...
Hello, November! | 11.4.24
The thinnest yellow light of November is more warming and exhilarating than any wine they tell of. The mite which November contributes becomes equal in value to the bounty of July. — Henry David Thoreau I love November light especially in the early mornings at...
Friday Finds | 11.1.24
I know I said I would not likely be back this week... but here I am with what I hope will provide something's calming... something's perfectly distracting... something's maybe to get you over the hump of angst that is flowing through the air. I listened to these...
Unraveled Wednesday | 10.30.24
Greetings Gentle Unravelers! It has been a week with not much making at all. I have not knit a stitch at all, despite putting knitting as a goal for this week, why? Because it provides a good mental health break! I have managed to stitch a solitary leaf at the end of...
Time Keeping or Keeping Time | October 2024
October has always been my favorite month. I love the weather... it eases back and forth between summer and autumn. The sun is at the most glorious angle and it lights up everything with the most beautiful glow. And even if there is a grey day, the trees provide the...
Unraveled Wednesday | 10.23.24
Greetings dearest Unravelers and Happy Wednesday!! A break from knitting can do a body good! I came home from vacation with a fire inside me to get that lingering gnome finished! I still had miles... and miles... and miles to go on the body. This is one HUGE gnome....
