Books, Writing, & The Cozy Life
Hello friends - welcome to Wednesday. Today I'm joining up with Kat at As Kat Knits to share my knitting and reading this week. I'm having an uptick in both activities, which is a welcome change in my life! KNITTING LATELY: I finished a pair of socks last week, knit up in KnitPicks Stroll in... Continue Reading →
Welcome to Wednesday, dear friends. A big thank you to Kat for hosting Unraveled Wednesday - a gathering place for stitchers and readers to share their works in progress. I'm trying to stagger my stitching escapades on my blog and am focusing on one discipline each week. But I have to be honest: I've mostly... Continue Reading →
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 →
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.

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 →
I read a ton of books in 2021, which was my goal for most of the year. When the year began, I wanted to drink books. I wanted to be surrounded by stories and ideas and characters. And that's exactly what I achieved. As the year went on, I began to put pressure on myself... Continue Reading →
