Anything over and done gets its day in the sun.
Every fall it seems, I pick up a new hobby. Two years ago, it was weaving. Last year it was quilting. This year, it’s dog ownership. Sisko Kamik Osborn turns eight weeks old tomorrow, meaning he’s finally the age that we should be adopting him. That said, we’ve enjoyed the extra bonding time. He was … More October 2021 Round-up: Dog
Years ago, my friend Rachel (my prayer buddy Rachel, or as she is known to my kids, either “Auntie Rachel” or “not-spinning Rachel”) gave me a book called “Knitivity,” with instructions for knitting a playful Nativity scene. It went into the “someday” pile, but this last year I realized my kids are at the prime … More Knitivity: Holy Family
It’s not every day that your little sister gets married. Our summer was largely structured around the joy of getting to go down south for nearly two months, to see our families and be a part of Leah’s wedding. Now that I’m kinda into quilting a little (haha), this was also the perfect excuse to … More Wedding Rings
Happy Canadian Thanksgiving everyone! This is my last post about my knitting through the Bluestockings book by Kate Davies and Nicole Pohl. It came out a few weeks ago, and my copy arrived in my hot little hands this week! As usual, it’s a beautiful book, this time with lots of full-page historical reproductions and … More Sarah Scott
Mary Delany is an artist whose work I had heard of before the Bluestocking club. She is known for the accurate and stunning botanical art she made using cut paper. If you’d like to have your mind blown, you can read about her and see some of her works here at the British Museum’s website. … More Mary Delany
I’ve tried to say a little something about each of the ladies who inspired the Bluestockings patterns. It was easy for me to speak a little to each one. Except one – Phillis Wheatley Peters. Here I put a few words in my flawed way to honour a woman whose story silenced me. Mrs. Peters … More Phillis Wheatley Peters
August was our big vacation month! I haven’t been posting obviously – I haven’t found time to solve my photo hosting and storage issues yet, and quite frankly, we’ve been too busy having fun for me to sit in front of a computer and write to you about it. But I’ll give you a miniature … More August 2021 Round Up: Sock Summer
[sorry all, i’m working on something new with pictures. hopefully they are working now.] [ok I know they’re still not working. Our fam is on the go right now but I’ll fix them as soon as I can.] [OH MY GOODNESS sorry that took so long. Hopefully they’re really working now!! The deal is, I’m … More July 2021: Vacation Transition
I am so behind on blogging! Right now we are in Maryland, enjoying the summer heat with Jared’s family and getting ready for my sister’s wedding. More on that another day. But the socks I knit last month are definitely worth reflecting on, so now that I have a few minutes – big girls out … More Elizabeth Carter
I’ve finished three more pairs of “Bluestockings” socks recently, and for some reason I’ve had trouble getting around to blogging about any of them. Maybe it’s the gorgeous weather outside, or the getting ready to go on vacation in six days… the same weather that has made these portable projects just perfect for this summer. … More Catherine Macaulay
