Happy Sunday, all! How has it already been nearly a month since I've posted? Ugh. I've been doing well. I took the week of July 5th off. I was so burned out at work and really needed a break (plus, the 5th is my birthday!) We did a couple of hikes on the 4th and… Continue reading Forward Momentum

Finished Objects – The Hopelessy Out-of-Season Edition
Hi friends! It's time for a craft roundup! Oh, what, you ask? A craft roundup of makes I finished in late winter/early spring and is now completely out of season? YEAHHHHHHHH! I'm very happy to report that these were both stash-busting projects. First up - this cowl from a book called Making Winter. This was… Continue reading Finished Objects – The Hopelessy Out-of-Season Edition
Checking In
Hi friends. It's been awhile, etc. I hope you all are doing well. The pandemic appears to be retreating in the US for the time being, so we've been having some much-needed normalcy the past couple of months. Being fully vaccinated by the end of April is a huge privilege that many of my friends… Continue reading Checking In
A Quick Spring Update
Good morning all! It's been a long, odd couple of weeks, so let's celebrate the wins, shall we? I received my first dose of the vaccine on March 31st! I was so happy and grateful to have received it. My second dose is on April 21st. My second creative non-fiction writing class ended last week.… Continue reading A Quick Spring Update
Overdue Finished Objects
Hello, friends! How about we have a roundup of projects I finished months ago and are no longer seasonal? YEAH! I will warn you in advance that I'm experimenting with where I take my photos, since I don't always want to put on a fashion show for my neighbors in my backyard. Right now that… Continue reading Overdue Finished Objects
A New Season
Good morning friends! I hope you are all doing well! I haven't posted in awhile. Multiple reasons - work was simultaneously making me stressed and sad while also being very slow, I was working on a frustrating C2C crochet project that I kept having to frog, and just general fatigue. Last week was my anniversary… Continue reading A New Season

Hi friends! I hope you are safe and keeping warm during this brutally cold month. My heart has been with Texas all week. I just cannot believe what they are going through.

Accepting Winter
Hello, friends! I am writing to you from my couch, buried under a blanket, as a light rain falls. We've been getting snow on and off this week. I pretend to hate snow on my Instagram, and I certainly have mixed feelings with it. Part of me is the Texan who is still fascinated by… Continue reading Accepting Winter
We Are Not Workshop Buddies
Tonight during my experimental fiction class, I heard the familiar sound of paws scratching at my office door. Apollo sometimes likes to spend my writing classes with me. I opened the door, happy that my dog wanted to spend time with his mama. Immediately after opening the door, Apollo lunged towards his water bowl. I… Continue reading We Are Not Workshop Buddies
