Books, Writing, & The Cozy Life
On Wednesdays I link up with Kat at As Kat Knits to share my reading and stitching projects for the week. This week I'm sharing a new binge-worthy series, two knitted sleeves and a hem, and a sewn skirt! Finished Reading This Week: Thank you to everyone who encouraged me to try the Maisie Dobbs...

Good morning, friends. Each Monday I spend my blogging time looking back at the previous week's spread in my Hobonichi Weeks. I love the versatility of the Weeks and find its format to be perfect for tracking all sorts of things in my life. Currently, I track my daily/weekly tasks, the habits I'm working on,...

Today I'm taking Bonny's lead and sharing a bit of poetry that has struck me this week. I've written throughout this blog and have filled your comment sections about the fact that I'm "not a poetry person." I don't usually understand it and I find it so intimidating (other than our poetry teatime where we... Continue Reading →
Fridays are for getting cozy around here! One of my 2020 goals was to take more pictures and to use them on my blog. In an effort to revel in daily life (trademarked by Kat), I've been sharing those photos on Fridays. This week was full of outside life - picking berries, finding caterpillars, and...

Hello, August 2020! 2020 - The Year That Must Not Be Named. But I still like to take the time at the end of each month to round up a few of my favorite moments. Today I'm sharing three of the best books I read in July, my Phenology Wheel, spreads from my Hobonichi Weeks, two finished knitting projects (!), a video of my month of journaling, and a smattering of pictures. I've been working really hard to keep it cozy around here - even in July and especially in 2020!
Good morning! On Monday mornings I like to share the previous week in my Hobonichi Weeks. I sit down with this notebook every day and track my daily/weekly tasks, the habits I want to strengthen, and my writing time. I also write a few sentences about each day - gratitude, gripes, and anything in between!... Continue Reading →
Today I'm sharing the first grade curricula we're using for the upcoming school year. There are so many homeschooling philosophies out there and I can't even pretend to understand them all. I'm drawn to two: Charlotte Mason and Classical Education. Charlotte Mason was a Victorian-era advocate for homeschooling. I'm most interested in her ideas around... Continue Reading →
One of my goals for 2020 was to take more pictures of our everyday life and use them here in my blog. To keep myself accountable, I try to share as many as I can on Fridays. It's messy over here, folks! But I have baking, beautiful flowers, and more berries to share today. Bug... Continue Reading →
Last week I shared three tips for daily journaling - just three simple ways to reinforce the act of waking up half an hour earlier to write in your notebook. I often hear people say, but what do you write about? I have nothing to say! And I totally get that. I write the same... Continue Reading →
