Hi everyone! So… I went to get this post up and realized – I forgot to post the December Wrap Up entry! EEP! I’m so sorry! I had it in drafts but never set the posting date. My family returned from our trip down to Florida to visit my mom for Christmas week, and I […]
Hi everyone! Here we are – the end of 2024! How did you do on your stitching goals this year? My year was a little uneven. I managed to do quite a lot of stitching, but at the end of it all – only three finishes. but… I focused a lot on one specific piece, […]
Hi everyone! The season is definitely heading toward winter, and I am so ready for cozy nights under my electric blanket on the couch with either stitching or a good book in my hand! I’ve been doing some initial stitching plans for 2025, trying to resist ALL OF THE SALS (omg, so many!), and prepare […]
Hi everyone! Peak color has flashed over here in my area of Rhode Island – we’re now entering the cold evenings that seem to force the trees to drop leaves in earnest. I think two of my trees completely emptied themselves onto the lawn overnight. With the colder weather, my desire to get cozy on […]
Hi everyone! Happy Autumn (or Spring, if you’re on the opposite side of the world)! I hope that the change of seasons is bringing you inspiration of new possibilities, both for stitching and life in general. It’s been a busy month of change in my household since the last check-in. My son started middle school […]
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! 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 […]
