Sometimes Monday | 7.4.22
Is still the weekend! And what could be better than that?! If the blooms on my tomato plants are an indicator of fruit volume... it looks to be a banner year! I am practicing patience waiting for said fruit to develop. But the plants are lush, green and growing like...
A bit of whimsy | 7.1.22
Hello, July. I am so glad I am filling my days with some whimsy so I can avoid thinking about the looming July holiday that this year won't feel like something to celebrate at all. Who knows what women can be when they are finally free to be themselves. ― Betty...
Unraveled Wednesday | 6.29.22
Ooo, the making this week! I have one finished pair of Anakin Skywalk!)er socks for Sam! I finished the second sock up yesterday. The heel... oh my! I like it! I did some short rows before knitting the heel decreases. It worked so well! (and I hope it will fit Sam...
Filling my days… | June 2022
This month kind of felt like a cheater month... I carried May along into June and did no new work on my word. (although the end of the month saw me full of FRAGE thank you, Nadia Bolz-Weber for defining my feelings so eloquently.) Knowing that was coming made the...
A Bit of Whimsy | 6.24.22
The wee break I took last week inspired a new way of thinking about blogging...much needed inspiration. Welcome to A Bit of Whimsy! I am a person who is incredibly serious. Joking around is not easy for me and I don't spend enough (any?) time creatively playing....

Someone needs your actions to inspire [their] actions. Never forget, your little broken cake is someone’s daily meal! Care to share you[r] little cake! ― Israelmore Ayivor One thing that I truly love about this blogging community is how we inspire each other......
Sometimes Monday | 6.20.21
I pondered doing a "what I did on my blog-cation" last week... and I will share, soon. One thing I did not do until late last week was open my laptop. Nope, I did not look at it once and it felt so good. I realized that in not looking at my laptop also increased not...

Summer is the annual permission slip to be lazy. To do nothing and have it count for something. To lie in the grass and count the stars. To sit on a branch and study the clouds. — Regina Brett Summer solstice officially arrives tomorrow and though it felt like we did...
Museum of Me – The Outdoor Games Edition | June 2022
Greetings dear museum visitors! For those of you expecting a visit to The Great Locker Room of Outside Games Memories... I am sorry, but there just is not that much sports participation in wee Kat's life. In fact, there almost is not enough even share. But... if you...
Unraveled Wednesday | 6.8.22
Not much making progress this week... a messenger bag strap, a beard, and an arm completed. I also spent some brain bandwidth on a sock. I could find no clear directions on how to determine how long to continue knitting the foot of a sock with a "planned" afterthought...

Allergies to dust and grain, maladies, remedies and still these allergies remain. — Paul Simon Spring is ... wonderful ... well, except for that little allergy thing that happens every year. I have some generally mild allergies to tree pollen and usually I can count...
When words fail me | 6.3.22
Oof..these numbers are so troubling. I hope we have reached the tipping point and that change will happen. In these troubled times I am so thankful for poetry. I read poetry every single day but recently I have spent even more of my day immersed in poetry and one poem...
Unraveled Wednesday | 6.1.22
The making over the past two weeks has been varied! Some Gnome Knitting means that I have finished my May Mystery Gnome and I love him! I also added some inches to the Sock for Sam. First Finish is Gnocchi! And I have some Gnome deets to share with you all: 1. The...
Filling Up | May 2022
This month was a month full of "ah-ha" moments. So many. In fact, this month was so full, I even found a theme song... listen if you like and see what I discovered this month! The song starts at 1:40... (but if you listen to the bit of the talk before the song I found...
Friday thoughts | 5.27.22
Bring poppies for a weary mind That saddens in a senseless din. — William Winter One of the most fleeting of things... my poppies... and yet, perhaps I love them so much because they are so fleeting. One thing I hope is not fleeting... our outrage at the gun violence...
When Knitting Updates Are Never The Answer
Hello, Gentle Readers. I had a completely different post planned for today and then the world fell apart. I am sorry, but I feel publishing that post is rather tone deaf in light of what happened at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas yesterday. Hug your loved...
Sometimes Monday | 5.23.22
The best laid plans of bloggers... sigh. I had planned on giving you all a May Word update today. But Carolyn posted this weekend that word update would be next Monday. Okay... that works, because it gives me a few more days to contemplate Four Thousand Weeks, which I...
Friday Finds | 5.20.22
It's been a week, hasn't it? I have tried and tried to make sense of the senseless and I can find no simple answers... no complicated answers either. My heart is heavy for the citizens of Buffalo and for the Black/Brown/Indigenous American/LGBTQIA+/Non-Christian...
