It has been a week here for sure. The fire that is about 10 miles to the west of us is now over 37,000 acres and the county moved us to the middle phase of evacuation prep. We are in a small suburb south of town proper and if the winds yesterday continue as they… Continue reading Year of Projects 2022: Week 19

101 Things in 1001 Days: September 2021
It's been a month since I started the 101 Things in 1001 Days challenge and I've started several of the items on the challenge list and even finished up a few. If you'd like to keep track with me, I've got the entire list I'm updating as I go here on the blog, or you… Continue reading 101 Things in 1001 Days: September 2021
September Plans
I normally would have a WIP Wednesday post here but since I've knit a whopping 6 rounds on my Bronwyn sweater since I've been focusing on finishing up the Foss sweater (which is done - more on that on Friday!), I thought I'd outline my plans for September here. As we edge closer to fall,… Continue reading September Plans

It's well and truly feeling like summer here these days - highs in the mid-80s to low-90s and wind. I am not a hot-weather girl AT ALL, so this kind of weather finds me retreating inside with a book, iced tea and crafting projects. I don't know if I'm just on half-speed because of the… Continue reading Weekending – June 11, 2021
Getting (re)Started
I've been thinking about restarting a blog for a while now. I have tried several online journaling platforms but hadn't really found anything I liked or that I stuck with for any length of time. I had a fairly active blog several years ago but it went by the wayside as I expanded my business… Continue reading Getting (re)Started
