Hello everyone! It’s a beautiful Sunday here in Rhode Island. We’re just past the peak colors of autumn officially, although my yard is still on the greener side due to the large volume of Norway Maples that don’t turn until November (we usually have a huge dump of leaves fall just before Thanksgiving). Our first […]

Hello everyone! September has flown by way too fast! How the heck is it already the last week of this month?!? The first day of autumn came in this past week with a huge line of thunderstorms, washing away the last bits of the summer heat and humidity. We’ve moved quickly now into crisp, cold […]

Hello everyone! It’s the final weekend of summer break here for students in Rhode Island. My son Max goes back to school tomorrow (4th grade!!), and we’ve been busy getting new uniforms, school supplies, and celebrating those Back To School events around town. And next weekend, of course, is the end of the U.S. summertime […]

Hello everyone! It’s a very warm, sunny day here in Rhode Island. Summer has definitely arrived! It’s the first weekend of summer break for my son, the first weekend in a while with no scheduled plans, and I’ve been enjoying puttering around the house. I had planned to film a FlossTube this weekend, but the […]

Hello everyone! I hope your stitching is going well! It’s a holiday weekend here – Memorial Day, to remember our military members who sacrificed their lives defending the United States. It’s of course, not really a “happy” holiday, but regardless, I hope that my fellow Americans are having a peaceful holiday weekend. And for those […]

Hello everyone! Happy Sunday! I am reaching you from the past today. As I write this, it’s early on Easter morning. The sun is shining and it’s just a lovely day. But when you read this – I will be nowhere near home. In fact, I’m hoping that I’ll be sitting comfortably in a lounge […]

Hello everyone! Happy Sunday! It’s a lovely spring day here in Rhode Island – the sun is shining, the grass is beginning to green, and we have forsythia flowers and lilac buds starting to reveal themselves. I’ve been in a bit of a stitching slump since I returned from my retreat last month. I just […]

Hello everyone! Apologies for not updating this on Sunday. I returned home from my Stitcher’s Hideaway retreat on Saturday and immediately fell into post-retreat exhaustion for a couple days. I’m definitely out of practice with socializing! Three days of it took everything out of me! I had a great time, though – and the time […]

Greetings everyone from snowy New England! We received about two feet of snow yesterday (approx. 60 cm for those of you not in the U.S.), and it’s a beautiful snowy wonderland outside my window today. As the storm blew through, I spent many hours stitching away and getting progress made on a couple of pieces. […]

Hi, I'm Measi

about
(a/k/a Melissa)

I'm turning 50 in 2025, and exploring this new decade of my life with a refocus on blogging about my life - marriage, parenthood, being owned by cats, Paganism, cross stitching, journaling, books, and letter writing... and probably some other stuff along the way. Nothing monetized here - just old-fashioned personal blogging.
