Books, Writing, & The Cozy Life
Some of you may remember when The Farmer's Wife Sampler Quilt Book was first published back in 2009. It got really popular in quilting circles around 2013 and 2014 and Quiltstagram exploded with beautiful examples like Camille Roskelley's. While going through things in my little sewing nook, I found a box full of my own... Continue Reading →
Friday! It's been such a strange week. I can confidently say that we're on the mend now but I still don't have the lung power to hop on my spin bike, which I've been missing lately. I'm looking forward to having everyone home this weekend without the cloud of illness hanging over us! I was... Continue Reading →
Has the weather been strange in your neck of the woods? It has been so strange here! It's almost felt like spring - there's no snow on the ground, lots of rain, plenty of mud. I don't know what's in store for the rest of the winter, but I hope it's somewhat pleasant. Maybe we'll... Continue Reading →
I don't think of myself as a prolific maker, but goodness - I am eclectic! No wonder I always feel so scatterbrained - I have so many interests and allow myself to get pulled in so many directions. And the following is the result! I've done my best to look at the pictures I've uploaded... Continue Reading →
It is definitely not looking like Christmas around here! Today's rain will wash away all of our snow, so we won't have a white Christmas for the first time in about a decade. Bah humbug, I say! I drafted this post yesterday but just deleted it all. It's pretty clear that I'm a little Grinchy... Continue Reading →
Welcome to a snowy Friday in New Hampshire! I was expecting to wake up to much more snow but plenty seems to be on the way today. Colton's school preemptively closed last night so we're not expecting to go anywhere and we have a big pot of chili ready to get us through. I hope... Continue Reading →
Good morning! Can you believe that it's Friday? This has been one of those weeks that has been agonizingly slow while also flying by. Know what I mean? So on one hand, yes. I can believe that it's Friday. And on the other... what is Friday? I can comprehend very little right now. I am... Continue Reading →
Welcome to December! This week, month, year... it has all flown by. We'll blink and it will be 2023 -- how is that possible?! I mentioned it on Wednesday, but it's been such a cloudy and gray week around here and it's been perfect for enjoying my newest pair of socks! I've barely gone a... 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 →
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 →
