Books, Writing, & The Cozy Life
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 →
Thinking back to October, I'm reminded what a gorgeous month it was. It was an amazing start to fall - beautiful foliage, cloudy and rainy days. Perfect for curling up inside with a wonderful stack of books. It's fun to look back on October because November has started out decidedly un-fall like. It has been... Continue Reading →
Welcome to November, friends! While it looks like November in New Hampshire - everything is brown, the trees are bare - it hasn't felt like it. The highs have been in the mid-60s and that's felt relatively warm in the last week or so. I'm looking forward to a more crisp feeling! But every once... Continue Reading →
Happy Halloween! I can't believe it's the last day of October - my most anticipated month! And it has been a picture-perfect October, hasn't it? I couldn't have been happier with the foliage or the weather. But I'm here today to talk about how I've been engaging with my word of the year this month.... Continue Reading →
And I believe that our maple tree has finally hit its wintering stage. In less than a month we've gone from a full tree with just a tinge of color to nearly barren, with just a handful of leaves holding on for dear life. I mentioned this week that I'm also turning inward and am... Continue Reading →
Happy Wednesday, friends. There's only a handful of days left in October and I've been savoring these last few days before Halloween. The weather has been beautifully Halloween-y: rainy, cloudy, plenty of fog. The slippery leaves on the ground add an extra layer of eeriness! I have been so pleased by the fall this year....

Last week was a strange one - I couldn't pull anything together for the blog for some reason. I feel bad about missing my Monday and Friday posts, but that's just how it goes sometimes. I'm hoping this will be a more typical week for me! This is the picture I meant to share on... Continue Reading →
