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! 2024 has now commenced! Welcome to our 13th annual WIPocalypse stitch-a-long! I’m a believer in the positives of the number 13… so I’m focusing on the good luck that the year will bring. 🙂 May all of your needles fly quickly, and may you enjoy your crafty project work this year! I have […]
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 everyone! As I set this check-in post up, it’s the day after Thanksgiving. After cooking for a good portion of yesterday (it all turned out fantastic!), today is a personal puttering day. I’m catching up on some various blog stuff before I settle down with some absent-minded trash TV and stitch the evening away. […]
Hi everyone! After an absolutely beautiful summer-like stretch of weather this past week, it’s now decidedly autumn with a light rain. The leaves started falling in large amounts the past couple days, even though half of the trees are still quite green. It’s an odd autumn here – although the color has been quite pretty. […]
Hi everyone! Autumn arrived here yesterday in wet and windy fashion – it’s barely 60 degrees (16C), and I can feel the cold and damp creeping into the walls of the house. Definitely good huddle under a quilt and stitch the weekend away weather! I’m ready for autumn, though – I love the crisper mornings […]
Hi everyone! There’s definitely a feeling of impending autumn in the air here in New England. The humidity of summer shut off a couple weeks ago. The leaves are starting to get a lighter tinge to them, and the mornings have had a crispness that I absolutely love. Before that, though, the traditional checklists to […]
Hi everyone! Well, the odds finally went against me in early July, and I had my first bout of Covid since all of the insanity started in 2020. I figured it had to happen eventually! Thankfully it was a relatively minor case, and aside from a daily fatigue wall and an off-and-on cough, I’m back […]
Hello everyone! Summer has definitely arrived here in Rhode Island. It’s quite warm and muggy, and we’re in the middle of an unsettled weather pattern where it’s either blazing sun or pouring rain, and not much in between. Max’s last day of school was Friday, so he’s making Big Plans for the summer to fit […]
Hello everyone! It’s a beautiful Sunday here in New England – one of those days where you know you NEED to spend as much time outdoors as possible because it doesn’t get much better. I’m hoping to spend a good portion of this afternoon on my patio, a drink and stitching by my side, just […]
