Books, Writing, & The Cozy Life
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 →
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 →
Happy Friday, friends. This week has been so quiet around my home, which is strange. Our walls are typically vibrating with energy and noise, but I think we're all doing a bit of wintering right now. It's a welcome change for me! This week I've sank into a routine of reading and writing, so I... Continue Reading →
What a January so far! We've had two sub-zero mornings this week and it has been brisk. I've been surviving on warm drinks, settling in with homeschooling each morning, and dreaming about my garden this year. We've also been doing more cleaning out/rearranging the basement, which continues to confound me. We've only been in this... Continue Reading →
Happy Wednesday, friends. I'm back to share this week's reading with you. Today's post is a much more reasonable offering because I'm moving through my current book much more slowly than is typical. It's Jane Eyre and I'm very happy to be taking my time with it and am supplementing the reading with sharp feminist... Continue Reading →
I don't think anyone can say this is a particularly joyful weekend given the state of the world. I wanted to write this post yesterday but couldn't quite bring myself to do it. But of course, the point of this practice is to find joy even when it seems like there isn't any, so here... Continue Reading →
What do you do when the reading is so good that you just can't stop? You keep reading, of course. I've embraced that philosophy this week as I've gulped down one book after another. Who knows when this well will dry up? I might as well enjoy it while it lasts! The Whispering House by... Continue Reading →
I'm not sure how many times I'll get away with saying it, but I'm going to try my luck one more time: summertime reading is the best! I've read a wonderful variety of books over the last week and can't wait to chat about them with you. As always - I do my best to... Continue Reading →
