We’ve made it to thirty-eight weeks today. I have reached the point at which, when everyone asks me how I feel, the short answer is not “I feel fine;” it’s “I feel really really pregnant.” I sleep badly most nights, I have so much relaxin in my system that my joints are all falling apart, … More Come on, Baby
Lent should really be a time for moral inventory, for an “examination of conscience,” as has ever and anon been called in spiritual circles. I have had ample prompting to so examine myself, not because I have been incredibly diligent with my Lenten disciplines (I haven’t), but because God is letting life do that for … More Moral-esque Inventory
My epic colorwork blanket has been done! Actually, it’s been done for nearly six weeks! I finished it just a day or two before we shipped out to Iqaluit. I took the time to snap these few pictures, thinking I’d blog about it while we were gone (ha!). Then I thought I’d blog about it … More Color Me Done
Time for a guest post from my mom, Linda! It’s been a long time, y’all… but here’s an update on what my mom has been doing, as her natural dyeing interests have blossomed and bloomed into her very own company, ColorStorms! ~Rebecca It was the summer of 2010 while wandering about outside 6 times a day … More The Journey to ColorStorms
Since my last post about the gluten-free experiment, I have come to a point that I am no longer gluten-free, really at all. I had intentionally mainstreamed my diet, or at least been prepared to mostly mainstream it, so that on our epic trip to the Diocese of the Arctic, I could eat whatever was … More Mainstreamed: The End of the Gluten-Free Experiment
Because, don’cha know, 27 days before Baby #2’s due date is a great time to start designing again after a 3-year hiatus. Anyone have a burning desire to test-knit for me?
Today little N turns two. My sweet, smart, busy girl, who gets another month or so of her mama’s devoted attention before she has to share me with her sister. Her birthday week is off to a rip-roaring start, with a visit from Deedee (my mom) and Baba (my youngest sister) over the last few … More I Be Two!
A blessed Ash Wednesday to you.* And apparently, this is my 800th post on this blog. Two events which are both more interesting and important than what this post is actually going to be about! *(I always have to stop myself saying “happy Ash Wednesday!” because that seems unholy somehow. Though I suppose from a … More What I Knit When I Was Out
Or is it shriving? I don’t feel like looking it up. Our Shrove Tuesday today was very much… a Tuesday. We didn’t eat pancakes. We left the house to give a little presentation on our trip at school, which went really well, and during which I carefully herded miss goopy-eyes away from the only other … More Tuesday Shroving
As expected, the last entry in this travel journey is rather late. I am only just emerging from recovery mode, with a proper Sabbath rest into my system to give me the energy to write again. Our last few days in Iqaluit were pretty quiet. Friday morning Bp. Darren took me around to a few places, … More Travel Notes: The way home
