Ramblings of a Geeky Witch
Hi everyone! The year is half-over, and I’ve been having a productive stitchy year, yet I don’t seem to have the finishes that would suggest how good it has been. I suppose that is just the curse of a large project stitcher! So many pretties to stitch on, but all of them are a long […]
Hi everyone! It’s hard to believe that another month is coming to an end, and that 2025 is approaching the half-year mark next month. It’s been quite the rollercoaster of a year! My family is enjoying a quiet Memorial Day weekend after starting off with some volunteering at the Rhode Island Veterans Cemetery to place […]
Finding the balance between writing by hand and uploading to Substack will take me a little time to get used to – I apologize for not getting this up earlier. This is Day Two of the Restoration course from the Open Journal Club. The past week has been a bit wild. Honestly, May has just been […]
A backstory first… in college, I took a semester course titled Zen Meditation. I had a couple toss-away credits that were paid for as part of my full time studies, and I decided to spend them between concert band and a random class to learn something completely unrelated to book academics.

I enter, not knowing why I come, but needing a path. And so I follow, taking a breath at each turn of direction – letting my eyes follow my left index finger as I slowly trace the route. I have no question, so my mind falls into the Now, simply focused on the journey. I […]
Is this thing on? So a funny thing has happened this year. I had planned to do a lot of blogging, but have found myself gravitating toward my paper journal. And I’ve been writing a lot. I’ve filled an entire journal now in five months. While I’ve filled journals in the past, I’ve never done […]
Hi everyone! Spring has finally sprung here in New England – a few glorious days of beautiful weather, and all of the trees have popped open, flowers are everywhere, and the world feels so much brighter! I’ve been trying to harness this seasonal energy not only for stitching projects, but also to get some other […]
Hi everyone! It’s a chilly weekend here in Rhode Island – definitely one of those early spring, kinda damp, kinda dreary weekends where you’re just wondering if winter is going to release its grip on the world. I am so ready for sunshine and warmth and the ability to enjoy morning coffee out on my […]
Hi everyone! I’m officially ready for spring – the cold weather has just been constant, and while we haven’t had as much snow as other areas have recently, we got that oh-so-wonderful (not) combo of several inches of snow followed by several inches of rain, turning everything into slush that then froze into an ice […]
As promised in my entry yesterday – here’s how my finish of Plenty by Hands on Design turned out. The up-close stitchy finish looked like this, complete with a couple stray cat hairs because… it’s my house: I decided to finish mine as a flat ornament using sturdy cardboard for my background. I each cardboard […]
