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

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
The Cowl Thingy
Happy Sunday friends! It's the Super Bowl today and I didn't watch it because I didn't even know who was playing until today ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Today was pretty restful. We just got back from a super quick trip to Texas, and I'm fighting a little cold. I canceled my drum lessons and just lounged all the… Continue reading The Cowl Thingy
Sleeve Island
Good morning friends! I hope you are well. I am trying to get a quick post out of the way before I head to work. I still need to stretch - I've been trying this new gym with a friend, and I LOVE it. It's been so much fun - a lot of HIIT workouts. … Continue reading Sleeve Island
It’s Cold and also: I’m Learning Magic Loop
Hello friends! I hope you are all doing well. I'm writing here on a Saturday night. I am, as usual, being overly ambitious about the amount of projects I can finish before the new year, so I've compiled all the holiday-related kits I haven't worked through yet to see how much I can get done… Continue reading It’s Cold and also: I’m Learning Magic Loop
Happy Monday?
Hello friends! I hope you had a good weekend. We were in our hometown on Friday for some family stuff, then came back to Austin Saturday. Yesterday I took some time to work on my tunic before finishing my chores and packing, and it felt good to take some time for myself. Still trying to… Continue reading Happy Monday?
Craft Fails
Happy Tuesday friends! I hope you all had a great weekend. It's amazing how much my mood has lifted since spring has arrived! We took several walks this weekend. I tried to get a picture of Apollo posing regally in the bluebonnets, but he did not want to participate. The best I could get was… Continue reading Craft Fails
GUYS I RAN OUT OF YARN
The other day I was thinking that I hadn't posted my February makes. I looked through my pictures and...realized I had only completed these: Now to be fair, I had been in the field for two weeks last month...but still! This is hardly anything. It was a good reminder to me that staying focused on… Continue reading GUYS I RAN OUT OF YARN
Making Mistakes to Grow
One of my roles at work is being a safety rep. For the next several months, I'm giving focus topic meetings on different aspects of being a safety rep since we have a lot of new safety reps in the area. For my first focus topic yesterday, I decided to discuss the aspects I'd found… Continue reading Making Mistakes to Grow
Easing into the New Year
I don't know about you guys, but I can't just dive right into my New Year's resolutions. Some people can, and that's great! Go you. But I find myself getting easily discouraged if I try to do ALL THE THINGS week 1. It's just a recipe to burn out by week 2. Building habits takes time,… Continue reading Easing into the New Year
