Welp . . . I thought I was back to some normal writing in this space but 2019 really did want to continue to challenge me!  Shortly after my last post there was a death in my husband's family.  I feel like 2019 has broke me open but I continue to find my mental health in making.  I thought I would share a...

Coming back to this space after a little break.  I am not a fan of "vague booking" or "vague blogging" but it has been a little rough spell with some things in my life that I really don't want to over share.  So I found myself generally retreating from the social media world the past few months.  Honestly it was a nice change...

Been absent for a few weeks, what to say and what not to say.  A lot has come my families way this past few months and I have been feeling down.  I don't want to go into too much detail but just to say I am taking one day at time. So a little self care was needed this weekend to help with...

It is birthday time again for my mama.  I am not quite sure how to say how much I love and admire her.  I count my self one lucky gal for having her in my life and she is just 15 miles down the road so I get to be with her as much as I can as an adult and raise my...

A part of my personality left over from a pretty simple childhood is my love of field guides!  I have shared a few times that I had a much loved, pretty simple childhood.  I was surrounded by the country, explorations in the woods, old houses, old barns, and lots of books.  At a very early age my mama instilled in me an appreciation...

Well, it seems as though maybe spring weather has decided to arrive so it is time to start thinking about packing up some of my woolens this year.  I have never really paid much attention to packing away my hand knits but this last year I discovered some moths had munched on one of my hats from last year.  It was my total...

Remember those 2019 fiber goals I mentioned?  Well I am combining two of those together for some lunar knitting.  I was inspired by the Hedgewitch Shawl KAL that ran from the full moon on the past winter solstice to the lunar eclipse full wolf moon in January.  Many thanks to Fiber Trek and Gentle Knitter for inspiring me to do knitting project that is only done of the full...

You may have watched my latest video chat and seen that I am mentioned that I had seen a KAL that is being hosted by the Gentle Knitter and Fiber Trek that started on the full moon last month that was in conjunction with the Winter Solstice and is ending with the full moon in January.  The January full moon happens to be...

Not much a New Year's resolution gal but I do have a mind to set myself some fiber goals for 2019!  So I popped a cork on a favorite beverage that I have discovered since my body had decided it is not liking wine these days.  Anyone else get headaches even after just one glass of wine?  I tell you what, this aging...
