Hi everyone! Every now and again I open my blog app to find a notification that lots of people are still reading this site, and I feel a little bad because I haven’t posted anything new in a couple of months! I’m very much alive, busy as you might expect, and quite behind on posting. … More Emerging from a Cloud of Dust
For the month of July, we were traveling. As I mentioned last month, we ended up coming down early for my grandmother’s funeral. So, a visit that was supposed to be shorter than usual ended up being not much shorter. We focused on time with family and friends for this month. There was a lot … More July 2025 Roundup – to Maryland for the Month
Sometimes life goes according to plan, and sometimes you take left turns. Our month of June was supposed to be about finishing school, cabin visits, time with kids, and finishing my book. And it was that, for a couple weeks! Then the unexpected happened. Well, not so unexpected. We desperately wanted to get out to … More June 2025 Round-Up: Minis and Left Turns
Hi, Blog. It’s been a minute since I’ve posted an update about our lives, and it’s been a challenge to find a few minutes to sit down and do so! But it’s time, so I’ll give ‘er a go. Two Weeks in Edmonton Jared and I had work to do in Edmonton, and our work … More June 2025 Round-Up – Things Change in Edmonton
Hi folks. It’s that time again, where I take some time to look back on my making this year. As I churn through one project after another, I don’t always appreciate the time and energy I’m expending, so this benchmark ends up being a huge exercise in appreciating myself, which is another form of self-compassion. … More 2024 in Review
When last I wrote one of these round-up entries, I was not in a great place. It’s been a tough fall in a few ways, and the darkness and isolation was hitting me in ways it hadn’t hit me in a long time, perhaps ever. Soon after I wrote, I decided to re-start the SSRI … More December 2024 Round Up: Celebration Diary
The last big finish I’d like to share with you this week is another souvenir of my summer. But it starts earlier, with a book I received for Christmas: Knit, Fold, Pleat, Repeat by Norah Gaughan. Norah is a master of knitted fabric, and she really went to town in this book using unusual directions … More Finishing Party: Afloat
In this series of posts, I’m sharing about some big FOs that came off the needles in the last couple of months. Today, I’m going to share about a project that followed me all along our summer of travel: The Goff Place Mystery KAL that was part of the KDD “Summer of Mystery” club. Step … More Finishing Party: Goff Mystery
It is now SEPTEMBER, and this post has been in my drafts for a couple months now. It’s very much fall here in Rankin Inlet. We’ve been home for a month now, although I had a bunch of extra solo travel in there, so it doesn’t feel like it. Anyway, during the month of July, … More Flora of Ireland
For our last week in Ireland, at the end of July, this was the time that we looked at each other and said, what are the few things that we most want to do with the time we have left? A few things rose to the top of the list, and here they are. Cave … More Tour de Ireland Part 5: Rambles and Museums
