Friends, what a weekend! The humidity has finally left us and it's starting to cool down around here. Not cool enough for sweaters but I did wear a pair of handknit socks yesterday and that made me very happy. I am excited to share our weekend activities, including a drive out to the ocean and...

Weekend Unraveling and Planning
Monday! I have woken up with extremely swollen nasal passages which are probably caused by all of the incredibly beautiful spring-like weather we've had over the last week.

November Stitching Update | Junction Sweater and Annie Bayliss – God Save the Queen
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.

Planning for The Gideon Method
Last Friday I wrote about The Gideon Method - a strategy for cycling through your unfinished projects. I'm not drowning in unfinished projects, which is the good thing. But I have so many interests and can find it difficult to settle on any one project. And then I begin to feel overwhelmed by whatever my... Continue Reading →
