The past five days have been wonderfully full of our friends and family sharing fantastic food, bursts of loud laughter and rehashing our shared memories. This is what Christmas time means to me – spending time with friends and family! However, I had a terrible thought today while at work – I could pass on…
Full Speed Ahead
Currently Reading: Unruly by David Mitchell The past two weeks have been wonderfully packed with dinners for Thanksgiving and two birthdays, more intense than usual housecleaning because there was a 50/50 chance we were doing Thanksgiving with the in-laws at our house, and crafting for both Christmas gifts and my craft show next Saturday.

Our Living Room Project
In July of this year, I was surfing Pinterest with the idea of making another found glass table. I came across a bookshelf built using recalled wood, which led me to think about building shelves from boards we had cut from our fallen maple tree. Brilliant idea I thought. A screenshot to hubby later, Steven…
Progress and Victory
I completed the first of four baby blankets which I feel compelled to crochet for friends and family members. This blanket’s young lady is due November 20; I missed the baby shower by one day 🙂 When I handed the gift baby to the dad, he commented that I did not need to make her…

Autumn Equinox 2024
For this sabbat, I had a quiet ceremony on my porch while the dogs played in the scant maple leaves of the front yard. I ate some grapes with my sandwich, thought bountiful thoughts and gave thanks for my family’s good fortune. I donated to my local food pantry. I struggle with negative self-talk that…

Finally starting a blog!
I have wanted and planned to write a blog for a couple of years, however I talked myself out of it. Who would want to read about me? What of importance do I do? Could I maintain a blog? No one, nothing, and nope were my constant answers. Today I am optimistic, have a partner…
