If it wouldn’t fit anywhere else, it’s here.
I’m trying something a little different this month. Rather than my usual making round-up at the end of the month, I thought I’d share a bit about what I’m reading, watching, and listening to. January is a relatively non-busy month when I have lots of time to craft and consume various types of media. But … More January 2026 Media Round-Up
I’ve been in a bit of a verbal creative block lately. I’m certainly creating a lot of stuff, but I’m having trouble wording, at least anything longer than an Instagram caption. I think when Jared left on his week-long trip in mid-March, part of my brain just compartmentalized. I need it to wake up now … More I Turned Thirty-Eight
Here it is, already the last day of January! I have been hard at work, but… mostly with stuff I can’t show you. It’s been a massive month of finishing and testing new designs, and working ahead on cool stuff for the Wool Circle. The Wool Circle episodes, if you’re interested, were an initial discussion … More January 2024 Round-Up – Busy with Secrets
One of the things I miss about my homeland, down on the eastern seaboard of the USA, is all the trees. I grew up in a forest, where out of a third-story window I could see tulip poplars tower above our roof. I didn’t appreciate their beauty as a kid – it was just normal. … More Found Forest

As of Thursday, December 3rd, all are recovered there are now no longer any active cases in Rankin Inlet, and so far there have been no … More November 2020 Roundup: Lockdown Time
We had a rockin’ Canada Day today. A friend and I found Dooners dress at “Canadian Tire,” which inspired the other two to join in the red-and-white display. This was the most fun when we joined in the town parade, at which I forgot to take pictures. The annual Canada Day cookout was cancelled because … More Oh, Canada!
I can’t help it – every time I see a flower for the first time each year, I have to take a picture of it. This year, being in a different region, I got to see some flowers that were entirely new to me. Others are old friends. Here is a record of what I … More Flora
This cabin trip was the first time I’ve ever had any real success taking good pictures of wild animals. This is a catalogue of what I photographed this week – mostly birds. Eider ducks: Loons: Swans: This pair of swans turned up in the neighborhood every evening. Mostly they stayed at the furthest edge of … More Fauna
We spent most of this week, Sunday night to Thursday afternoon, at our friends’ cabin out on the land. I think I’ll use the next few posts to be a sort of family photo album, since I don’t find myself using Facebook for that purpose much anymore. I hope you enjoy. The week started out … More A Week On the Land
