Anything over and done gets its day in the sun.
I had one (1) goal for December this year: Keep Christmas simple enough that I could actually enjoy it. For me, I succeeded. There was stress, there was yelling, but much less than usual. There were coping mechanisms, there were screens, but there was not as much angst about it. We prepared the way for … More December 2023 Round-Up: Christmas Blast
After yesterday’s one-week impulse project, the other finished project I have to share with you was a long-term project! Very long-term, as it turns out. The story of this item begins in 2010, when I was working for a yarn shop in Maryland called Cloverhill Yarns. The shop had a prime booth at the Maryland … More Attuned
Merry Christmas, dear friends! I feel like I’ve been in a haze of work and anticipation since… August maybe. It hasn’t been bad, it’s just been a lot. Fall and early winter is a juggernaut of family, work, and community events that builds and builds until Christmas day pops the balloon. Boxing day felt like … More The Catching Up Coat
I keep expecting some part of this fall to drag, and it keeps not happening. I can’t believe it’s December already. It honestly doesn’t feel like much of anything is happening all month; I stay at home most of the time and the days start to blur together. So let me take a moment to … More November 2023 Round-Up: Suddenly Winter
In late 2020, when I was just starting to get deep into quilting, I had a vision. Yesterday, I saw it come true. All three of my girls had, at that point, said blue was their favourite colour. They still all love blue, though their favourites have evolved over time. So I went on Connecting … More Starry Path Quilt
It’s October 5 and I haven’t posted a roundup yet! The more I make videos and post on Instagram, the less I feel driven to post here. But this is the one corner of the internet that’s really mine, so I shall keep on keeping on here at my own pace. Tea September was really … More September 2023 Round-Up: Belated
I am not going to try to sum up our five-week vacation in one blog post. That would be crazytown. We’ve been back home for two and a half weeks, and being deep into forming new school and work routines, it’s already hard to remember what vacation was like. It was hot, it was green, … More Summer 2023 Round-Up: South and Home
Hey folks. It has been ages since I’ve written to you – although you’ve been seeing a steady stream of posts from me on the Dyeapalooza of this spring that I hope you’ve enjoyed, I wrote all those posts back in June, so I’m feeling kinda rusty on writing to you! But I’m glad you’re … More Every Last Scrap
Today the men arrived at the Champs-Élysées, and the women took off for their first stage. Jared and I are taking a few days of our vacation to get away, just the two of us, so I wrapped up my men’s Tour spinning last night. There’s still another week of biking, and I’m feeling kind … More I Claim My Yellow
June was all about spending as much time as possible out on this beautiful land. Jared was traveling the first half of the month. This might be the longest he’s been away from all of us. The female contingent of our family did pretty well while he was gone, and a big part of our … More June 2023 Round-Up: This Land Tho
