Oof. Here in the US, we went to sleep with more tragic news. I could only watch a few minutes of the coverage after the kids went to bed last night. It is heartbreaking and devastating. I spent the night tossing and turning, both because of the news and this wretched cold. But at one... 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 →

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 →

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 →
Unraveled Wednesday | Momentum
Does today feel like Wednesday to you? I'm not sure what the day feels like; I spend the first few seconds of every morning trying to determine what day of the week it is and if I really need to get up (the answer is always yes regardless of the day). This morning was no... Continue Reading →
Friday | Easter?
Welcome to Friday, friends! Can you believe that Easter is this weekend? It has completely snuck up on me, as usual. Luckily, our yard is looking a little more Spring-like to match the holiday this weekend. I remember the year that we had snow on the ground during our egg hunt - that made things...

I have another big stack of books and a little story about my WIP to share with you, so I'll hope you'll visit me for a bit! KNITTING THIS WEEK:... Continue Reading →
Bookish Coincidences
Sometimes I notice the strangest coincidences when I'm reading. I wrote about this nearly a year ago: maybe it's the same odd name used in subsequent books, or the fact that every book I'm reading uses bees as imagery. But every once in a while, it seems like the stars align and patterns start to... Continue Reading →
