Books, Writing, & The Cozy Life
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 →
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 time to talk about my One Little Word for 2022. Picking this year's word has been a journey. I had my 2021 word picked out well in advance and was so excited to get started. My 2022 word has been much more elusive and has changed a few times, including just a week or... Continue Reading →
It's been a while since I shared a poem, but here I am. Remember when I complained about my current Mary Oliver collection? I said that I'd already read many of the collections these poems were pulled from and that I was trying to remind myself that rereading poetry is encouraged. Well - lesson learned....

And then - I just kind of stopped reading for myself. But that break was important because it allowed me to flip a... Continue Reading →
Happy week of Thanksgiving in the US! We've got our menus planned, groceries bought, and have started baking things. But the real preparation will begin in earnest on Wednesday afternoon and I'm chomping at the bit to get started. But before we can start Thanksgiving, I'd like to share (some of) the oops* I've made... Continue Reading →
It's the last Tuesday of the month, so I'm checking in with Carolyn and my One Little Word. You can see all of my Stillness posts here. September was a month of feeling unsteady, off-kilter, and not quite like myself. It was a time of paring down and changing focus. The biggest shift for me... Continue Reading →
We're in the last few days of June! I hope you're all enjoying the summer. We're reveling in a slightly more relaxed schedule and spending plenty of time outside with our garden and flowers. I'm publishing this post mid-morning because I've found it difficult to steady my blogging rhythm over the last few weeks. I'm... Continue Reading →
I wasn't planning to be back with a poem today, but this one presented itself to me on Saturday and I couldn't resist! Mindful Every day I see or I hear something that more or less kills me with delight, that leaves me like a needle in the haystack of light. It is what I... Continue Reading →
On Sundays I try to share a few lines of poetry that caught my attention. I'm new to the world of poetry and these Sunday posts ensure I read a few poems every week. Here's one I encountered in a book of Mary Oliver essays this week: Softest of Mornings Softest of mornings, hello. And... Continue Reading →
