Dash the Optimism
Good morning, friends. I'm moving slowly today. It's really cloudy and dreary outside at the moment. Yesterday one of my blog friends sent me a message saying she had woken up to more terrible news from the states, and it's really sad that I had to stop and think - what is she talking about?… Continue reading Dash the Optimism
Mildly Optimistic
Hello friends! I hope you are safe and well. It's hard to believe it's almost the end of August. I am currently in the midst of another August 31st deadline (how is it nearly the end of another fiscal year?!) I had a pretty long work week this past week, and have to get to… Continue reading Mildly Optimistic
Quarantine Yarn
I know I said in one of my previous posts that I was trying to stop myself from buying more yarn, which is true. But that doesn't mean I haven't purchased ANY yarn lately.

It’s That Little Souvenir of a Terrible Year
Good morning friends! Oh, how is it already August? The days are both very long and short. I can't believe another client deadline of 8/31 is nearly here but on the other hand - did my brother really get his kitten only three weeks ago? I thought he had her for two months now. What… Continue reading It’s That Little Souvenir of a Terrible Year

I've been drawn to simple, cozy projects at nights… Continue reading A Quick Catch-Up Post
Experiments with Embroidery
Good morning friends! Back to work today. I am ready. It was good to take a longer break, even if I felt guilt at times. It was fun to have an introspective summer camp of sorts here at home - what did I want to work on or explore? I decided to work through the… Continue reading Experiments with Embroidery
A Little Bit of This, A Little Bit of That
Hello friends! I was supposed to go back to work tomorrow, but decided yesterday that I'd take the entire week off instead untz untz untz. It's weird that I feel a little guilty about this. I keep coming up with justifications internally (I've only had two days off since the New Year! I'm burned out!… Continue reading A Little Bit of This, A Little Bit of That
Staycation 2020
STAYCATION, ALL I EVER WANTED STAYCATION, HAD TO GET AWAY Morning friends! Somehow, we are now officially halfway through this dumpster fire of a year. But onto more positive topics - it is the first day of my staycation! I definitely limped to the finish line on this one. I love my job but finding… Continue reading Staycation 2020
FO – Seaside Bunting, and Other Odds and Ends
Happy Monday, friends! How have you been? Things are good here. I thought I had this quarantine life figured out, but June was a little tough! I think I finally realized things won't be back to normal soon, even though it appears to be an American past time to pretend that the virus doesn't exist.… Continue reading FO – Seaside Bunting, and Other Odds and Ends
