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.

WIPGO 2023 – Week 1 – The Colonial Sampler

Melissa
January 5, 2023January 5, 2023 No Comments

Kicking off Week One of my WIPGO year is The Colonial Sampler by Betsy Stinner. I adopted this project from the stash of my friend Sandy after she passed in 2017. I know that Sandy attended the class held by Betsy, but I don’t know when it was. The pattern does not have a copyright […]

This year I’m going to do a weekly series to re-introduce the majority of my current projects back onto the blog through a WIPGO post. I’ll be showing the finished photo and the status of it as of the night I post, and a little background on the project. By the end of the year […]

January 2, 2023January 2, 2023 1 Comment

Before the Great Blog Reset of 2022 (a year ago today… sigh), I had an ongoing list of my Works in Progress (WIPs). Unfortunately any progress reports after 2019 were nerfed since nothing more recent was captured on the Wayback Machine. So… I’m starting from scratch. This will also be cross-copied to the WIP page […]

December 31, 2022February 20, 2023 No Comments

Hello everyone! It’s the last hours of 2022 – dark and foggy here in New England, but oddly warm for this time of year. Like most New Year’s Eves, my family is staying in and playing board games, watching movies, and just having a quiet hang-out. I enjoy these quiet ways to send out the […]

2023 WIPs List

Melissa
December 29, 2022December 29, 2024 No Comments

Current WIPs Note: Must have been started prior to 2023. Bolded means I have worked on them in 2023. Legacy/UFO Projects Note: These are projects, either started before 2013 or that I’ve adopted from others but have not yet stitched on personally, that are in a holding pattern – especially because I have too many […]

Melissa
November 27, 2022February 20, 2023 No Comments

Hello everyone! I’m a little later today – sorry! We had a friend visiting for the holiday weekend, and after he headed home this morning, Erich, Max and I took care of hanging lights outside before some expected rain. With a couple tasks out of the way, we’re settling into our normal Sunday late afternoon […]

October 30, 2022October 30, 2022 No Comments

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 […]

September 25, 2022February 20, 2023 No Comments

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.

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.
