Unraveled Wednesday | 6.17.20
Greetings Unravelers! Be the change you wish to see in the world. — Mahatma Gandhi First up, I wanted to talk briefly about change. It is never easy but two well-loved sites recently changed things up... and I love both of the changes!! MDK is now Modern Daily...
Work-ending
I would love to tell you I got all this knitting done over the weekend, but strawberries are ripe in the 'Burgh. And so, there was lots of hulling. Lots of macerating. Lots of rolling boiling. And lots of slow-roasting. And, as always, I want to thank Judy for this...
TGIF | 6.12.20
Another week in the bag and this one brought our first 90+ degree days. If this is a taste of what is to come...sigh. Honoré commented yesterday on my "summer sweater" and it not being very wearable in 90+ degree weather. And that would be true if it were wool, but it...
Unraveled Wednesday | 6.10.20
It seems that in all things, I have this idea that whatever it is I am making will go quicker than it does in actuality. However, at long last, I have a finished Ranunculus! It needs a nice wash, but I should be wearing it before the week is out! AND!! Just in time...
Moving Monday | 6.8.20
Writing is my salvation. If I didn't write, what would I do? — Maxine Kumin I heard a poem by Maxine Kumin last week and I have not been able to get it out of my head. It is the epitome of summer, and I just want to immerse myself in it...and never leave. It was the...
TGIF | 6.5.20
Greetings from Phase Green Allegheny County! Curiously, this phase change will not change much in my life. We are still being cautious in our outings, not planning any travel. I am not racing out to get my hair and nails done, nor are we stampeding a restaurant for...
Unraveled Wednesday | 6.3.20
Greetings Unravelers!! First, thank you for all the very kind comments for my Me Made May post! It might be the first time I have been successful in wearing things I made for an entire month and I did not make anything new, outside of the Romi Mystery Shawl that I...
Goodbye May, Hello June!
Green was the silence, wet was the light, the month of June trembled like a butterfly. — Pablo Neruda Well, that was an odd May, wasn't it? But it's over and this morning June greeted me with a chill in the air, a brilliant sunrise, and a riot of Weigela blooms! I...
Friday Thoughts | 5.29.20
Another Black Body Shot. — from Running For Your Life, a community poem I heard this poem Wednesday on NPR. It made me cry and it made me unbelievably angry that I am cloaked in my White Privilege, in my nice home, not living in fear of law enforcement (aka those...
Unraveled Wednesday | 5.27.20
Greetings Unravelers! No Finished Objects this week, despite my planning that there would be! Enter a weekend of yard work and I was left with not much knitting time (and said yard work left me ready for bed! LOL) So this week you get another progress shot of my...
when INTENTION is all I have | May 2020
I am joining Honoré today and sharing my Little Word update for the month! Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen Hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Appreciate your friends. Continue to learn. Do what you love. Live as if...
Friday Update, Photo Edition
It's been a quiet couple of weeks around here, at least until we went "Yellow" last Friday. Yellow for my house looks a lot like Red. Unlike my neighbors, we are not racing out to dine in a restaurant, shop at the mall, or get our hair done. It will be interesting to...
Unraveled Wednesday | 5.20.20
I am still working through the last clue of the Larissa Brown's mystery shawl. I have some blocking of the pieces to get done (and a pattern update on dimensions just dropped yesterday) so in the mean time I am being entirely distracted with a Linen Ranunculus. The...
Unraveled Wednesday | 5.13.20
I finished Romi's Mystery Shawl and I love it!! It is exactly what I wanted - it is lightweight and perfect for "indoor AC deep freezes" Haha. It is one color, and knit from some centuries old Knit Picks Shadow Lace yarn from my stash. I could not be happier and I...
Macro Monday | 5.11.20
I would love to share a post with all the exciting "Motherly" things I did this weekend, but well... on weekend nine (ten?) of Stay At Home... not much was different. We had snow/rain on Saturday and it was not warm enough to be outdoors on Sunday. I did have calls...
TGIF | 5.8.20
This week, oh boy. It was so hard. So damned hard. And so full of just horrific news… each day seemed to be trying to outdo the day before. I struggled this week to find a single thing for my gratitude list, much less a list of them. But here we are at another Friday...
Unraveled Wednesday | 5.6.20
Some of my making this week included making some modifications to my Traveler's Journal. Normally, I have 3 inserts, and my set up works very well! I like having multiple journals in one convenient package. However, with the addition of a couple of new journals and I...
Looking Back | April 2020
A gush of bird-song, a patter of dew, A cloud, and a rainbow's warning, Suddenly sunshine and perfect blue –– An April day in the morning. — Harriet Prescott Spofford These words from Harriet Prescott Spofford sum up my April perfectly. We had lots of rain, some...
