A host of little things to discuss

Can you believe it’s November already?  I’m honestly trying to figure out where the hell this year has gone.  I swear autumn lasted like two days.  Yes, I know it’s technically still autumn, but once that first killing frost hits and the remaining leaves on our trees fall in one big clump to the grass, […]

Stitcher’s Hideaway – Mystic 2010 recap

Melissa
October 21, 2010March 30, 2025 No Comments

I’ll warn in advance… this is going be a long entry with lots of pictures.  🙂 The quick-quick version? I had an absolute blast.  Good company, great class, fun shopping, lots of stitching.  It was exactly what I wanted (and needed)! I went to Mystic as part of group two.  The demand had been large […]

Short, short entry for now – I had an absolute blast.  I learned  bunch.  I finished an ornament in class (yay!), and learned so much.  I’m now ready to start tackling ornaments with confidence (and will… starting tomorrow!)  I have an obscene amount of new stash to show off and lots of photos to upload, but I’ll […]

Life in general catch-up

October 11, 2010March 30, 2025 No Comments

It’s been a wild few weeks around here.  Mostly good, I think.  Although the impending holiday craziness is already starting to creep in, and that has me worried. The really really good news: Both Erich and Matt are working. Erich has found an IT job with a metro-Boston hospital, and so far is enjoying it. He […]

Garden Sampler Update

Melissa
August 29, 2010March 30, 2025 No Comments

Today was a very stitch-filled day, completely focused on Garden Sampler. I made great progress and I think that I might be able to get this completed tomorrow – or at the very latest on Monday.  I have a little text left, a bird in the lower corner, and then some fill-in flowers, and I’m done.

Stuffages

May 15, 2009March 30, 2025 No Comments

I’d say not much has happened recently, but it has been a busy couple weeks. Just a blur of a couple weeks. The bad stuff: – Mom was laid off last Friday. It wasn’t completely unexpected, though. She works in real estate, and the company had been stripping off personnel all year. I left a […]

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.
