May WIPocalypse Check-In

Hi everyone! It’s hard to believe that another month is coming to an end, and that 2025 is approaching the half-year mark next month. It’s been quite the rollercoaster of a year! My family is enjoying a quiet Memorial Day weekend after starting off with some volunteering at the Rhode Island Veterans Cemetery to place […]

Hi everyone! Spring has finally sprung here in New England – a few glorious days of beautiful weather, and all of the trees have popped open, flowers are everywhere, and the world feels so much brighter! I’ve been trying to harness this seasonal energy not only for stitching projects, but also to get some other […]

Hi everyone! I’m officially ready for spring – the cold weather has just been constant, and while we haven’t had as much snow as other areas have recently, we got that oh-so-wonderful (not) combo of several inches of snow followed by several inches of rain, turning everything into slush that then froze into an ice […]

Hi everyone! January is almost over – it’s been quite the month! I hope you were able to kick off your 2025 stitching successfully and are having fun, whether you’re meeting personal goals or just stitching to stitch. 🙂 I’m straddling both ideas at the moment and enjoying myself, even as I make a total […]

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, 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.
