Unraveled Wednesday | 9.27.23
Greetings dear Unravelers and Happy Last Wednesday of September! I got my COVID/flu jab yesterday and this morning I am definitely feeling it this morning. I am happy to say that I have overcome last week's pattern hurdle with sock one and finished it! Sock two was...
Practicing Authenticity | September 2023
Nine months in with my word and some days I feel really ready to move on... others... well, the many more other days I feel like the struggle is real. Practice is the hardest part of learning, and training is the essence of transformation. ― Ann Voskamp, One Thousand...
A Gathering of Poetry | 9.21.23
I recently finished reading Invisible Women by Caroline Criado Pérez and I have not stopped thinking about it since. So why am I thinking about this today you might wonder. Well, with all this thinking about being "an invisible woman," a poem by my beloved Ada Limón...
Unraveled Wednesday | 9.20.23
Greetings Unravelers and Happy Wednesday! I have a trio of wee gnomes in my gnome choir! I will get the alto started soon, rounding out my quartet! Ha! But my bass is finished.. meet Gnolan! He is Gnola's twin and they have been singing in harmony for eons! Or at...
Museum of Me | September 2023
The only thing that you absolutely have to know, is the location of the library. ― Albert Einstein This month's prompt was challenging: What did your day look like when you got home from school? I am most certain that it would bring no benefit to anyone and most...
Friday Finds | 9.15.23
Friends, we have reached the halfway point of September. I know, it makes me sad too! I have some finds to share with you this week...so let's get started! First up, I really love Kym's monthly activity share that she focuses on. I actually try and add them into my...
Unraveled Wednesday | 9.13.23
Greetings Unravelers! **Sorry for this late posting, I thought I scheduled it to post, but apparently that did not work out... sigh. Entirely operator error... not at all a Wordpress issue.** It pains me to say this but September is just racing along, isn't it? This...
Sometimes Monday | 9.11.23
I pondered posting today because I don't really have anything significant to contribute. In my pondering I wondered if a pandemic that has killed so many has somehow diluted the impact of what happened 22 years ago. Perhaps today's significance is more personal - not...
Last RIFF of Summer | 9.8.23
I had other plans for today post but life got in the way yesterday... bigly. A small-ish issue with Sherman required some extra attention yesterday morning and a rather lengthy vet visit yesterday afternoon. But we have some new meds to try and I am hoping he is...
Unraveled Wednesday | 9.6.23
Greetings dear Unravelers! My knitting mojo is on the thin side this week. Soaring temperatures have put the kibosh on a lapful of wooly knitting... so there has been little progress on my Pressed Flowers wrap. Instead I cast on a sock... which is barely begun so you...
Hello, September | 9.5.23
September is the other January. — Gretchen Rubin This quote resonated with me as I turned the calendar to a new month. I am very much loving the idea of beginning again... with so many things. I spent the summer pared back, minimal, letting go of so many things... and...
Unraveled Wednesday | 8.30.23
Greetings Unravelers! We have arrived at the last Wednesday in August! No lies here... I am more than a little excited for September and my week of knitting reflects that. I finished my Pressed Flower Socks and I love them! Kym asked last week about sock thickness......
The Habit of Authenticity | August 2023
Progress requires unlearning. Becoming the best version of yourself requires you to continuously edit your beliefs, and to upgrade and expand your identity. — Jame Clear August has always been my least favorite month of the year. The heat. The humidity. The end of...
In my backyard | 8.25.23
Learning to be still, to really be still and let life happen – that stillness becomes a radiance. — Morgan Freeman In August I savored the stillness... the bird song has slowed. Gone is the territorial songs marking nesting territories so it seems that the birds, as...
Unraveled Wednesday | 8.23.23
Greetings dear Unravelers and Happy Wednesday! Here we are closing in on the end of August and I am very much ready for the humidity and mosquitos to depart! Those two things...my most disliked parts of summer. Those pesky mosquitos have been making morning porch...
A Gathering of Poetry | 8.17.23
I have been thinking about what poem I would share with you all this month for a couple of weeks... going back and forth between several poems that seemed just so perfect for August. This morning I decided that Late Summer by Jennifer Grotz was the winner (but really...
Unraveled Wednesday | 8.15.23
Hello dear Unravelers! It is Wednesday and that means a bit of a check in with my making and reading...and while last week had little progress this week the making and reading are strong! I have been doing some more stitching... and I have broken the 60 minute mark on...
Museum of Me | August 2023
Before we get to our exhibit, I need to pause and reflect on the Lahaina that was and mourn the loss of it... as it was and shall never be again. Decades ago in 1985 my then very significant other took me on the most incredible vacation to Hawaii. He worked hard (and...
