Books, Writing, & The Cozy Life
Welcome to Wednesday, friends. I'm starting to wrap my head around the fact that Christmas and the new year are just around the corner. That also means winter is nearly here and it's time to take stock of my indoor plans. I'm thinking about the stitching projects I have lined up as well as the... Continue Reading →
Good morning! I have to admit that I woke up this morning wanting more weekend. This weekend was one of zero expectations and no real "productivity" and I wish that the rest of December could be the same way. But we're all back to our regular routines today, which means that I will be back... 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 →
Does it feel like winter anywhere else lately? It has been so cloudy and gray around here and has felt like a big snowfall is going to happen at any time. Luckily there's no snow forecasted until next week, so we can wait on the snow blowers a little while longer. And despite the cold... Continue Reading →
Welcome back! I hope all of my friends in the States had a wonderful Thanksgiving last week. We had a lovely spread on Thursday that lasted us through the weekend. What an excess!

Just a quick note to let you know that I've decided to take this week off from blogging. I wish I could spend it like August the cat in the opening picture, but I don't expect to! I hope all of my American friends have a lovely Thanksgiving and that everyone reading has a week... 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 →
Hi friends! Can you believe that next week is Thanksgiving? It sneaks up on me every year. Maybe one day I'll get the hang of preparing for these holidays in advance but I haven't gotten there yet. Yikes! And we woke up to a blanket of snow and a 2 hour school delay for Colton... 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 →
As I sat down to write this morning, our furnace roared to life for the first time this season. Yes -- we keep our heat absurdly low and I'm sure we could have used some heat in the house on the few sub-30 degree nights that we had in October. But as I type, it's... Continue Reading →
