Books, Writing, & The Cozy Life
Happy Monday, friends! The weather here is just beautiful; I'm sitting at my desk and the catbirds are going crazy out there! I hope you all had the best possible Mother's Day you could have. I was able to go to the NH Sheep and Wool Festival and buy a few goodies (more on that... Continue Reading →
Good morning! The weekend just flew by, didn't it? It was sunny and pleasantly warm here. We were lucky to have a weekend without a ton of humidity but plenty of sunshine -not too bad for late July! I can feel myself sliding into a little reading rut right now because almost nothing is holding... Continue Reading →
We're now a full week into July - what a whirlwind! This has been a vacation week for us - Matthew is on vacation and our homeschooling is on a break - so we're enjoying a quieter pace and fewer obligations. Screen times have shot up and I'm 100% okay with that. We all deserve... Continue Reading →
Some of you may remember when The Farmer's Wife Sampler Quilt Book was first published back in 2009. It got really popular in quilting circles around 2013 and 2014 and Quiltstagram exploded with beautiful examples like Camille Roskelley's. While going through things in my little sewing nook, I found a box full of my own... Continue Reading →
Friday! It's been such a strange week. I can confidently say that we're on the mend now but I still don't have the lung power to hop on my spin bike, which I've been missing lately. I'm looking forward to having everyone home this weekend without the cloud of illness hanging over us! I was... Continue Reading →
I don't think of myself as a prolific maker, but goodness - I am eclectic! No wonder I always feel so scatterbrained - I have so many interests and allow myself to get pulled in so many directions. And the following is the result! I've done my best to look at the pictures I've uploaded... Continue Reading →
Welcome to a snowy Friday in New Hampshire! I was expecting to wake up to much more snow but plenty seems to be on the way today. Colton's school preemptively closed last night so we're not expecting to go anywhere and we have a big pot of chili ready to get us through. I hope... 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 →
Hello to the last Friday in August. We've nearly made it through this month, friends. Can you believe it? September - here I come. Apple picking, apple pies, foliage, drives through the mountains, hot chocolate, and cozy time under my quilts? Yes, please! AND this week has been full of surprises and gifts. I'm sharing...

Happy Friday, friends. I've spent this week trying to get back on track in the kitchen, reading a ton, and spending as much time outside as the weather has allowed. I even managed around an hour of sewing that produced results, if you can believe that. I can't wait to show you a few things!... Continue Reading →
