Hello dearies (or dearie squearies, as I call my little ones). It's Friday and we've completed our second full week of nearly everyone being sick at the same time, with no end in sight. Today's post is just going to ignore all of that and pretend like it's not happening, okay? Instead - let's talk... Continue Reading →
Unraveled Wednesday | Moving Through May
Welcome to Wednesday, friends. I hope this week has been treating you well. As I type this introduction, a hummingbird is visiting the feeder stuck to my window so I can't complain too much! I'm here to share some of the reading and stitching I've done this week, thanks to Kat's Unraveled Wednesday linkup. KNITTING... Continue Reading →
New Hampshire Sheep and Wool Festival | 2022
This weekend marked the return of the NH Sheep and Wool Festival! They canceled in 2020 and 2021 due to Covid but this year they were baaaaa-ck! I've been jumping out of my skin for the last several weeks but haven't mentioned it here because I didn't want to jinx my ability to attend. I... Continue Reading →
What’s Saving My Life | Spring 2022
I typically write about what's saving my life in February, which is when Anne Bogel does her annual link up to help us all through the winter doldrums. But I was inspired to do an updated version after listening to a recent episode of The Next Right Thing. Emily P. Freeman recorded her own version... Continue Reading →
Unraveled Wednesday | Lots of knitting; NO unraveling!
Happy Wednesday, friends! Today I'm linking up with Kat at As Kat Knits to share what I've been reading and stitching this week for Unraveled Wednesday. I am happy to report that there has been no unraveling (whew!) and even a little bit of reading. I've come to the conclusion that I just cannot be... Continue Reading →
Friday | Spring Might Be Here
Well, well, well. Welcome to Friday; we have made it through this frightful week! As I type this, the sun hasn't quite risen but the sky is full of light. It's a coral-y color with a few purple clouds and the pastel tone of it all is making me quite happy even when the outside... Continue Reading →
Bookish Chatter | Recently Finished; Indie Bookstore Day
Happy Wednesday, friends. For two weeks in a row, I have no knitting to share so I'm focusing on books again. I have a recent finish, an update on a couple of other (amazing!) books, and a bit about this year's Indie Bookstore Day. I have my coffee at my side and am so ready... Continue Reading →
Friday | Almost May
This week has been another cold one. Cloudy, windy, a few rain showers. I'm trying not to complain because the weather isn't anything worth complaining about. AND - I'd be really grateful for a day full of sunshine. Just putting it out there to the universe. But despite the gray and chill, we've got some... Continue Reading →
Bookish Chatter | Recent Finishes; Women’s Prize Shortlist; May Plans
Happy Wednesday! I usually share books and knitting on Wednesdays, but I've made so little progress on my stitching that it's not worthwhile to share this week. Let's talk books instead. Today's post is about what I've recently finished, the Women's Prize shortlist that was announced this morning, and my May reading plans. My morning... Continue Reading →
Surrender | April 2022
April is nearing its end! What a month. I'm flipping back through my notebook to remember some of the highlights. It was simply a delightful one: full of friends, writing, good books (oh, the good books!!), time outside, and the anticipation of a new season. Now I'm ready to settle in and think about my...
