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

Semi-Spring
Hello friends! Happy March! I am so excited about spring. We've been getting snow the past week or two (nothing heavy, just enough to be an annoyance and for me to keep having to wash my car to get rid of all the salt).* Warm weather, where are you? But today is beautiful and sunny,… Continue reading Semi-Spring
Finished Object – New Beginnings Cardigan
Hello friends! I hope all is well. I didn't mean to keep away from this blog for so long (and I had "Write cardigan blog" on my to-do list for about three weeks now!) But you know how it goes. Keeping busy over here. Work is making me a sad little stress ball at the… Continue reading Finished Object – New Beginnings Cardigan
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
House Arrest Update #1
Good morning friends. It is a sweltering 35 degrees outside right now. I'll be heading to the Bloomington Handmade Market later today, and I'm excited. I'm so happy to tell you all that after one week of crate rest, Apollo is doing very well. So well, in fact, that his vet said Apollo only needs… Continue reading House Arrest Update #1
Blooming
Hello friends! I hope you had a great weekend. Why am I still awake at nearly 11 o'clock at night, you ask? This is what happens when you have a chai tea latte at 4 pm. For some reason, I didn't think it was caffeinated. SPOILER ALERT - it's caffeinated and I'm wide awake. UNTZ… Continue reading Blooming
Easing Into Fall
Hello friends! Dang. How is it already September? The dark cloud of the August 30 deadline has passed, and another fiscal year has ended. Usually on Sundays I like doing laundry and wrapping up my chores, but this morning I. have. done. nothing. I'm not going to lie. This picture was totally posed ~for the… Continue reading Easing Into Fall
Transitioning
Hello friends! Geez, it's been three weeks since I've posted. Hope you all are doing well! We are mostly settling in. Some aspects of this move have been good, while there are other things going on with the house at the moment that are causing a lot of stress and anxiety. I remember my transition… Continue reading Transitioning
Ta Da!
We've got a finished cardi! With sleeves! The pattern was actually really easy to follow, and there is a great tutorial video to walk you through the steps (even though my brain took awhile to decipher the difference between front and back post crochet). Now I just need to wash and block it. The sleeves… Continue reading Ta Da!
