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
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
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

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

Going Inward
Today is my second wedding anniversary. Last year we celebrated our anniversary in Seattle. This year we'd been planning on another anniversary trip, but...well, you know how that story ends. This is a Studio MME kit (she's since rebranded as Poplush Embroidery and has retired her skylines/landscapes kits.) I purchased this kit from the Elliot… Continue reading Going Inward
WIP Wednesday
Hi friends! Figured I would give "WIP Wednesday" a try. I have been very guilty of posting WIPs here and then never finishing them, buuuut I think I will finish this one by next week! (Is that overly ambitious?) This is the Earl Grey Wrap from Two of Wands. I bought this kit back in… Continue reading WIP Wednesday
FO -Slouchy Seed Stitch Basket
Psst. Hey you. Yeah, you. I'm talking to you. The word on the street* is you were...looking for the good stuff. I've got the good stuff. HAH. Never in my life did I think it would be necessary to share my toilet paper buying habits to the world, but HERE WE GO. We have… Continue reading FO -Slouchy Seed Stitch Basket
