Hi everyone - I'm Melissa, known as Measi online. I'm a married mom of one in her early 50s, owned by several cats, currently living in Rhode Island. I'm a cross-stitcher, journaler, penpaller, bookworm, Pagan, and gamer geek. This is my little corner of the Web.

Hi everyone! Summer is winding down here in New England. Our weather has a slightly more crisp feel to it, and some of my trees have leaves that are beginning to turn. It seems a bit early, but then again – our spring felt like it came a bit early, too. Maybe the weather pattern […]

Hi everyone! The end of July got away from me due to some personal health issues – sorry about that! All is well… just one of those joys of getting older situations and adapting my life to them. I even had a reminder written down in my planner for Sunday – but was so preoccupied […]

Hi everyone! We’re exactly halfway through the year. Crazy, isn’t it? 2024 has been a good year for me so far, albeit not all that great stitching-wise. It’s one of those years where there’s just a lot of transition going on in my life, so I think my attention is just elsewhere, and that’s fine. […]

Hi everyone! It’s a beautiful long weekend here in Rhode Island. I have kids laughing and running around the backyard, the birds are chirping, my cats are being lazy in their naps, and I’m having a slow-roll day after busy times yesterday at the RI Veterans Cemetery and Plant a Letterbox Day. Things are a […]

Hi everyone! Spring has definitely arrived and the annual Pollening has begun. Our maple trees started leaving out this week, leaving me in a bit of a sniffly mess. But springtime always makes me feel energized and happy as the world starts new growth everywhere. We still haven’t had the days where I can comfortably […]

Hi everyone! Happy Easter if you are among the faith celebrating today! Happy weekend if you are enjoying a normal end-of-March Sunday. I hope 2024 is treating you well so far. It’s a sunny day here in Rhode Island after what feels like tons of rain. While my family doesn’t celebrate Easter as a religious […]

Hi everyone! It’s a sunny day here in Rhode Island – and very deceiving. It looks warm, but I know it’s not warm out there. There’s the earliest hint of springtime, though. The snow is melting. I’m seeing little hints of my day lilies popping through the earth, and the neighbor’s daffodils are already a […]

Hi everyone! Happy end of January! It’s been a wild month here in the Measi household with flooding rains, multiple cars deciding they were at the end of their lifetimes, and winter illnesses that felt like they just didn’t want to give us up (but did, in fact, want to let us down…). I’m honestly […]

Hi everyone! And here we are… December 31st. Crazy how fast years fly – I swear each one goes faster than the last! I’m not sure whether that’s a good or a bad thing sometimes. I have one last project I want to try to fully finish today before the clock strikes midnight and the […]

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.
