Books, Writing, & The Cozy Life
"I feel entirely demoralized by the sun now, and wish for fog, snow, rain, humanity." Virginia Woolf letter to Edward Sackville-West, 9/22/1926 Listen, I hate to complain. But we hit a muggy patch yesterday and it really irritated me. I had no idea Virginia Woolf was such a fan of dreary days but this woman... Continue Reading →
Goodbye to the most perfect weekend! Cool and sunny on Saturday, lots of rain on Sunday. It felt like the best of both worlds! We are finally settling into the season and I'm so happy about that. I am feeling more and more like myself every day and I know that for two reasons: I... Continue Reading →
Hello, friends! It's been over two weeks since I've published a post. Mornings have been hard for the last several months for so many reasons and my blogging has fallen to the wayside.

In fact, I don't think I've shared this year's notebook at all despite it being a regular Monday feature for a very long time. Today I'm thinking about 2023 and what makes sense for my notebook-loving heart. Won't you join... Continue Reading →
I typically write about what's saving my life in February, which is when Anne Bogel does her annual link up to help us all through the winter doldrums. But I was inspired to do an updated version after listening to a recent episode of The Next Right Thing. Emily P. Freeman recorded her own version... Continue Reading →
It's been a long time since I've written a notebook post! I still keep many notebooks that I update nearly everyday, but I lost my enthusiasm for these Monday posts. I've started keeping a new notebook in 2022 - A Needlework Enthusiast's Book of Days - and wanted to share a bit about it. I... Continue Reading →
Happy Friday, friends. This week has been so quiet around my home, which is strange. Our walls are typically vibrating with energy and noise, but I think we're all doing a bit of wintering right now. It's a welcome change for me! This week I've sank into a routine of reading and writing, so I... Continue Reading →
