Hello friends and happy Friday! Even though it’s been a week (which at times felt like longer … and at times seemed like just a few days?!) since I’ve posted here, yep, it’s still July. Those daisies above are a … Continue reading TGIF | Still July.
Yesterday afternoon I was in a mad rush to get out the door for my Prayer Shawl meeting and realized I didn’t have my dishcloth project. I groped around in my knitting bag for that large ball of dishcloth cotton, … Continue reading Pausing Mid-Project.
Friends, we made it to another Friday, and that’s always something to celebrate. It’s also my nephew’s 27th birthday and that’s an even better reason! Here’s a look at more of my Right Now through my favorite lens. (Not) Thinking … Continue reading TGIF | Mid-May.
…is not nearly as exciting as you might’ve imagined (if you even noticed I’d been absent for a week)! Mostly same old, same old: Knitting. Reading. Morning walks. But we did have visitors over the weekend. Our two favorite boys … Continue reading What I’ve Been Up To.
I mentioned a few weeks back that I’d swapped my winter decor for spring. and that was true for all the living spaces I share with Marc. My study was still a mess (books, notes, notebooks!, yarn, projects … egads … Continue reading Spring Cleaning (ish).
Hello friends and happy Friday! I hope this post finds you warm and cozy, with a beverage of choice. As I write this, I’m bundled in my coziest sweater (in an outfit that looks a lot like the one I … Continue reading TGIF | Early February.

Hello friends and happy Wednesday! It’s been a while since I paused mid-week to share an update on my knitting – wanna see? First up, the project that has seen no action since November 7 – yep, Shifty. (Ravelry link)I got the second sleeve started that Sunday and then set it aside for a project that required a lot less focus (not gonna lie, all those ends – and that’s just the body – there are even more on the sleeves! … aren’t that exciting either). That would be Caramel (Ravelry link). Inches of 2×2 ribbing with a whole lot … Continue reading On the Needles.
This marks the almost-end of the first month in a very long time that I didn’t make a list of things I wanted to accomplish. I did have weekly to-do lists to be sure the must-do’s got done, but that was about it. So I have things in Process now. A healthy stack of books (plus one on my Kindle – Goodreads link here)I never intended to finish Middlemarch this month (that won’t come til January), but I thought I might finish the other three. Of course the one on my Kindle (Peter Swanson’s Eight Perfect Murders) wasn’t even on … Continue reading In Process.
Hello friends and Happy Friday! I spent an hour on the porch this afternoon watching a replay of Modern Mrs Darcy’s Fall Book Preview and knitting. Shifty. of course. Thinking about … feeling stuck. and how holding things loosely also means letting things go. hoping I can get my head (and heart) around all that enough to write about next week for October’s OLW link-up. Grateful for … a fun knitting project. It’s been a long time since I’ve been monogamous to a project. That probably says as much about what I’m doing these days as it does the knitting. … Continue reading TGIF | Late October.
