Unraveled Wednesday | 2.15.23
Greetings Gentle Unravelers! I am still feeling behind on sleep from a weekend of insomnia, but I got one good nights sleep and (at this writing) have my fingers crossed for a second. But I wanted to catch you all up from the past two weeks of making!! I am roughly...
Sometimes Monday | 2.13.23
Brings a slow start thanks to a bad bout of insomnia this weekend. Ugh. So I am easing myself into the week gently, with an extra cup of coffee before I begin the "Monday Chores." But there is sunshine again today! And I have some weekend embroidery wheels to catch up...
A Few Good Things | 2.10.23
Hello Friday... it's been a week where my motto has been this: "The hurrieder I go, the behinder I get" I have felt like I have been playing catch up all week but there were a few good things. Thing One: I have had tremulous buds on my snow drops for weeks and I...
Unraveled Wednesday | 2.8.23
Greetings Unravelers! It is Wednesday and I don't have my painting homework done (which is due by noon today... so guess what I am doing this morning! LOL) It has been a week that I feel "behind" ... terribly behind! I begin each day with a plan of action but then a...
Sometimes Monday | 2.6.23
is overflowing with good things from the weekend. Krista Tippett's On Being podcast returned last week, but I did not listen to the episode until Saturday. I am hitting replay this morning... it was just that good! I have also gotten on the waitlist for Dacher...
Hello February | 2.3.23
And Hello Friday! It's been a week, hasn't it? How about an update on all.things.medical first... On Monday, the Nurse Practitioner called with my blood test results...sigh. My cholesterol was not at good levels and had jumped extraordinarily since my last blood work....
Unraveled Wednesday | 2.1.23
Greetings Unravelers and Welcome February! January was such a good month for me! I knit one gnome... and have a healthy start on another. I have his arms to finish... and you will note that Vera is my Gnome Whisperer! Dear Gnorton has a beard and braids! Now I need to...
Getting to know you… Authenticity | January 2023
Here I am almost at the end of January and my word demands that I share with you that it has been a bit of a rocky start... Confession time; more than once this month I have asked myself why I picked this word! However, one thing I am not is a quitter...and so I...
The Doldrums of “Winter” Riffing | 1.27.23
The "January Thaw" has been more like the "January Revolving Door" in my neighborhood... wintery-mix-rain-repeat. Proof of this weird weather is evident with this: I have Snowdrops that with 5 minutes of sunshine will likely bloom today (I will be watching to get a...
Unraveled Wednesday | 1.25.23
Greetings Unravelers! This week is truly a week for unraveling... issues. So let's get started! First, I thought I'd give you all a very brief update on my experiences at the new doctor yesterday. No... there were no C3PO-style staff. Whew, right? But I am still...
Sometimes Monday | 1.23.23
Brings the dreaded long awaited doctors appointment. Yes, I am a bit nervous. A new doctor. A new office. A new system...although if the pre-check in text that I got on Friday is a hint, it might be easier! AND... 20 minutes before my appointment I will get another...
A Gathering of Poetry | 1.19.23
I first heard this poem a couple of years ago and late last year, I got myself a new book for my Poetry Library (Happy Birthday to ME!) and I was happily surprised to find it there as well. This poem is for teachers everywhere, who teach all the amazing things every...
Unraveled Wednesday | 11.18.23
Greetings dear Unravelers! We are racing through January... yikes! As I am typing this I cannot believe that the month is more than half over. Big hint... Thus far, I don't have much to show for the month! I have reached the halfway point in my Pressed Flowers...
Sometimes Monday | 1.16.23
...is for remembering. Out of the mountain of despair, a stone of hope. — MLK Jr. I have long been a fan of Martin Luther King Jr. and I loved his "I have a dream" speech... and have watched it dozens and dozens of times. It provides the most "cherry picked" quotes by...
Museum of Me | Stardate 2801.13
Greetings Gentle Visitors! As a younger person, I truly loved Star Trek and this month our exhibit is one that has us traveling into the future... the near future, but the future nonetheless. Never fear though, the journey will be delightful! Dear Old Scotty is the...
Unraveled Wednesday | 1.11.23
Greetings Unravelers! Welcome to the day that holds me accountable for what I am making... one of my favorite days! And this one has a fun play with numbering 1.11.23... But, even better is that tonight is the Read With Us discussion on The Marriage Portrait... which...
Sometimes Monday | 1.9.23
Is for a bit of celebration... Yes, on a Monday! This morning started a "normal" week with Steve back at the office! Which means my normal routine is being resumed, which makes me very happy. Granted, it will be a short-lived celebration because he has next Monday...
Currently | January 2023
Happy First Friday, Everyone! I thought I'd share a quick "snapshot" of what's currently holding my attention. Anticipating — A visit to a new PCP this month. I will say it is a nervous anticipation. I have filled out a thick stack of health forms which has me...
