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)!

Hi everyone! The end of July got away from me due to some personal health issues – sorry about that! All is well… just one of those joys of getting older situations and adapting my life to them. I even had a reminder written down in my planner for Sunday – but was so preoccupied […]
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 […]
