Good morning friends! I hope you are well. I'm doing okay. Still on the coronacoaster and, like anyone, have good and bad days with it. Lately I've been feeling pretty overwhelmed by work, and haven't had a lot of mental energy to deal with much else. 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.

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!

FO – Yoga Pants
The past several weekends, I've woken up feeling sad. Not wanting to be idle, I decided to find an activity that I could lose myself in. Something meditative and soothing, but an activity that I could finish faster for instant gratification. Enter sewing. I've documented my sewing attempts on and off the past several years… Continue reading FO – Yoga Pants
Still Here
Hello friends! I hope you are all doing well. There's been a lot going on in the States and it's been hard to focus. I feel like this comic sums it up really well. https://www.instagram.com/p/CBTjz7vBc4A/ Beyond that, I've definitely been feeling some melancholy this past week or so, for multiple reasons. Thankfully, the weather has… Continue reading Still Here
Black Lives Matter
I know this post is outside of my normal WIP post, but there's no way I could blog about the pandemic on here and not about this. Right now there are a lot of protests happening in the States for Black Lives Matter following the murder of George Floyd. Sadly, this has not been an… Continue reading Black Lives Matter
San Francisco 2020
Good morning friends! This morning, I wanted to share my San Francisco trip from February with you. It's taken me awhile to find the motivation for this post. I think I needed some time to unpack this trip, especially in light of the pandemic. I felt sad thinking about it at the beginning, but now… Continue reading San Francisco 2020
Memorial Day Weekend
Hello friends! If you are in the states, Happy Memorial Day. We have the day off today, which is so nice. I don't know what to do with all this unstructured time. I simultaneously want to do all the things and do nothing. I realized that I hadn't had a proper day off (not counting… Continue reading Memorial Day Weekend
