Good morning friends! I found myself awake at 5 am again. I'm a light sleeper, and if Husband accidentally wakes me up, then that's it. I tried in vain to fall back asleep, then decided at 6:30, there's only so much Instagram scrolling one can do without feeling like a useless human. It's good to… Continue reading A Weekend of Crafting, Hikes, and Hair Dyeing
Fulfillment with the Familiar
Happy Sunday, friends! I'm relaxing after a busy week at work (which extended a bit into Saturday, as well). Yesterday we took the pup on another hiking trip. It was a new park and we basically had it all to ourselves. It was beautiful! The weather was sunny and in the 80s, and I was… Continue reading Fulfillment with the Familiar
Weekend Makes – Earl Grey Wrap
Happy Sunday, friends! I hope you all are doing well! I had a good week. It was a very quiet week at work, the quietest since...I can't even remember. I am grateful for it. Yesterday we decided to go for a little hike in a nearby park, since I desperately needed a change of pace… Continue reading Weekend Makes – Earl Grey Wrap
New Weekend Routines
Happy Sunday friends! I hope you all had a nice weekend. Yesterday was Husband's birthday. I made him a special birthday dinner of baked chicken (coated in spicy breadcrumbs, yummm), Parmesan and spinach orzo, and a cake! Side note, I have not baked a cake in forever, so it came out dry and the frosting… Continue reading New Weekend Routines
FO – Jenny Wren Cowl
Good morning friends! If you celebrate, happy Easter! I do not, but I have the perfect pastel cowl to share with you this morning for the occasion. This is the Jenny Wren Cowl from Little Box of Crochet! This box is from (::cough::) October 2017. Any pictures of its contents are on my digital camera,… Continue reading FO – Jenny Wren Cowl
WHY ISN’T IT WARM YET
I kind of struggled with a title, but here you go! THIS IS MY TRUTH. Hello friends! I hope you are all doing well. The sun is shining today, which makes me so happy! The Midwest taunted me this week with two straight days of sunny, 80 degree weather, which to me is normal April… Continue reading WHY ISN’T IT WARM YET
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
Little Box of Crochet – Betty Beret
Good morning friends! I got less than 4 hours of sleep last night! YAY HAPPY MONDAY! So glad I have to do things today that involve focus, attention to detail, and interpreting data and information! I start work in fifteen minutes, so perfect time to blog, right? Here is a recent FO, the Betty Beret… Continue reading Little Box of Crochet – Betty Beret
Tiptoe From the Comfort Zone Cowl
Early February, Husband and I had to make a very quick trip to Texas. I've mentioned here before that I don't love flying but that I've worked really hard to overcome my fears. I can get on a plane now without thinking dark thoughts of our fates as I settle in my seat, and can… Continue reading Tiptoe From the Comfort Zone Cowl
