January 2023 WIPocalypse Check-In

Melissa
January 29, 2023February 20, 2023 No Comments

Hello everyone! New Year’s Day was just last week, wasn’t it? This month went weirdly fast. I’d fallen into the rhythm of the last three years where months seemed to go both quickly and slowly at the same time – the Covid Time Paradox. But January went just… fast. Too fast, honestly. I hope that […]

Hello everyone! New Year, New Energy! Thank you for joining me on another crazy year of stitching on projects and making progress. I’m still amused that a little joke of a comment back in 2011 turned into this multi-year SAL. 🙂 I hope that your year is successful with your WIPs and that you enjoy […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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. And next weekend, of course, is the end of the U.S. summertime […]

Hello everyone! It’s a very warm, sunny day here in Rhode Island. Summer has definitely arrived! It’s the first weekend of summer break for my son, the first weekend in a while with no scheduled plans, and I’ve been enjoying puttering around the house. I had planned to film a FlossTube this weekend, but the […]

Hello everyone! I hope your stitching is going well! It’s a holiday weekend here – Memorial Day, to remember our military members who sacrificed their lives defending the United States. It’s of course, not really a “happy” holiday, but regardless, I hope that my fellow Americans are having a peaceful holiday weekend. And for those […]

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.
