Books, Writing, & The Cozy Life
Welcome back! I hope all of my friends in the States had a wonderful Thanksgiving last week. We had a lovely spread on Thursday that lasted us through the weekend. What an excess! And totally worthwhile. Now I'm feeling rejuvenated and ready to check in with my one little word for the year. As always... Continue Reading →
Just a quick note to let you know that I've decided to take this week off from blogging. I wish I could spend it like August the cat in the opening picture, but I don't expect to! I hope all of my American friends have a lovely Thanksgiving and that everyone reading has a week... Continue Reading →
Well hello! I'm here today with a finished quilt that I've been working on since January 2014. No, that's not a typo. It's been in the works for over 8 years! This quilt is english paper pieced, which means I used paper templates to shape the fabric into hexagons and sewed all the pieces together... Continue Reading →
Hi friends! Can you believe that next week is Thanksgiving? It sneaks up on me every year. Maybe one day I'll get the hang of preparing for these holidays in advance but I haven't gotten there yet. Yikes! And we woke up to a blanket of snow and a 2 hour school delay for Colton... Continue Reading →
Happy Friday! I hope the week has been treating you well. We're looking at a rainy Friday night and Saturday for the weekend and there's snow in the forecast for next week. I'm hoping to settle in with an audiobook and a pile of stitching on those rainy and snowy evenings after the kids get... Continue Reading →
As I sat down to write this morning, our furnace roared to life for the first time this season. Yes -- we keep our heat absurdly low and I'm sure we could have used some heat in the house on the few sub-30 degree nights that we had in October. But as I type, it's... Continue Reading →
Thinking back to October, I'm reminded what a gorgeous month it was. It was an amazing start to fall - beautiful foliage, cloudy and rainy days. Perfect for curling up inside with a wonderful stack of books. It's fun to look back on October because November has started out decidedly un-fall like. It has been... Continue Reading →
Welcome to November, friends! While it looks like November in New Hampshire - everything is brown, the trees are bare - it hasn't felt like it. The highs have been in the mid-60s and that's felt relatively warm in the last week or so. I'm looking forward to a more crisp feeling! But every once... Continue Reading →
Happy Halloween! I can't believe it's the last day of October - my most anticipated month! And it has been a picture-perfect October, hasn't it? I couldn't have been happier with the foliage or the weather. But I'm here today to talk about how I've been engaging with my word of the year this month.... Continue Reading →
And I believe that our maple tree has finally hit its wintering stage. In less than a month we've gone from a full tree with just a tinge of color to nearly barren, with just a handful of leaves holding on for dear life. I mentioned this week that I'm also turning inward and am... Continue Reading →
