Books, Writing, & The Cozy Life
It's been a long time since I've written a notebook post! I still keep many notebooks that I update nearly everyday, but I lost my enthusiasm for these Monday posts. I've started keeping a new notebook in 2022 - A Needlework Enthusiast's Book of Days - and wanted to share a bit about it. I... Continue Reading →
The last Friday in February! How can that be? Matthew has been on vacation this week and it's been enjoyable (and helpful!) to have him home in the evenings. Overall, this has been a challenging week. Just as our colds were clearing up, the stomach bug hit us. Last Thursday, Colton came home with it.... Continue Reading →
A big thanks to Kat for hosting a wily group of Unravelers every Wednesday. Today I'm showing my current handsewing piece (which DOES involve unraveling!) as well as a book I started last night. HANDSEWING THIS WEEK: One of my 2022 goals is to work on my Mandolin quilt more consistently. I started this in... Continue Reading →
The thing about February is that it's short, so this month's One Little Word post snuck right up on me! I almost had this one ready to go over the weekend, but it was my turn with the stomach bug that's been cycling through our house. So I'm getting this finished up a little later... Continue Reading →
Today is my 38th birthday! Matthew had arranged for his sister to watch the kids around lunchtime so that we could go out to eat together for the first time since March 2019 - a full year before the pandemic even began. Yesterday we decided it wise that we cancel because we are both battling... Continue Reading →
It's been a long time since I've linked up with Kat and the Unravelers! I'm here to share my reading and knitting for the week. Over the last year I shifted to sharing these posts on Friday, but I'm trying to get into a Wednesday groove again. There won't be knitting every week, but I... Continue Reading →
Friends, despite some freezing rain and snow on Tuesday morning, it's been a delightfully sunny and warm week. We've even gotten above freezing a time or two! The birds have been busy at our window feeder, the cats have been frolicking in the house, and I've been soaking up the sunshine with a warm cup... Continue Reading →
Welcome to February! I know that February is hard for a lot of people, but it's my birth month and has always been one of my favorites. Of course -- Februarys in New Hampshire are different than the ones I grew up with in Texas. But this is the month when I really start to... Continue Reading →
Now that we've reached the halfway point of winter, Anne Bogel is hosting my favorite linkup of the year: What's Saving My Life Right Now. I've participated in this lovely roundup since 2018 and always look forward to writing this annual post. I find that just writing it helps me dig a little deeper, find... Continue Reading →
