Books, Writing, & The Cozy Life
Good morning, friends. Every Monday morning I use my blogging time to look back at the previous week. I'm a firm believer that we build our lives one moment at a time and I try to ensure that I'm using my time in ways that match my goals and values. As usual, last week was... Continue Reading →
Each Friday I try to gather up little bits of joy from the week and share them here. It's been another trying week, hasn't it? I almost want to go out on a limb and say that this has been the longest week ever, but then I'd worry about jinxing things! And still - there... Continue Reading →
Juliann at Chasing Stories shared the Stay at Home Round Robin linkup earlier this week. It sounded like fun, but to be honest - I'm not even sure what a Round Robin is! I liked the basic idea: make a center quilt block and then follow the subsequent directions to be released each Monday. Of... Continue Reading →
Kat at As Kat Knits hosts Unraveled Wednesday each week - a gathering of bloggers who share their current reads and stitching projects. Please visit Kat and the other participants for lots of inspiration! Today I'm sharing six finished books and a nearly finished quilt top. Finished Reading This Week Don't Overthink It: Make Easier... Continue Reading →
I don't know about you, but I'm ready to leave last week behind! And still - each Monday morning I try to take a few minutes to think about the week that just ended, pay attention to how I'm using my time, and tinker with my daily routine. Last week was not a good example... Continue Reading →
I decided to rename my Friday series from Friday Cozies to Full of Joy Friday. I hope it captures my goal to focus on positive things from the week. But my timing is quite awful because I think it's in poor taste to simply ignore what's happened in the last few days. Instead, I'm going... Continue Reading →
It's the first Wednesday of 2021! Kat at As Kat Knits hosts Unraveled Wednesday each week - an opportunity for bloggers to share their stitching and reading projects. Please visit her blog and the other participants! This week I'm sharing an excellent start to the new year: a handful of finished books and my progress... Continue Reading →
This post is inspired by Anne Bogel at The Modern Mrs. Darcy and Emily P. Freeman. Both of these writers close out each year by asking themselves what worked? and what didn't work? I'm playing with the format a bit - taking out what didn't work and replacing it with what I'd like to change.... Continue Reading →
I hope we're all ready for 2021 to really start, because here we are! My planner labeled last week as number 53, which doesn't sit well with my brain. But it was the betwixt week - that amorphous week between Christmas and the New Year. I did my best to think of it as a... Continue Reading →
Happy New Year! 2020 was my most successful year of reading since becoming an adult (whenever that happened? I'm not sure). I owe most of this year's reading to my library and their vast supply of audiobooks. I've never finished so many books on audio (47!) and absolutely wouldn't have had the ability to concentrate...
