We made it through another week! Here’s to surviving and thriving as March does its best to make that a challenge. (Only me? Oh.) I’ve spent a fair amount of this past week making a wish list of things to grow. I have limited space, so I try to make the best of what I’ve…
If you’ve been a crafter for any length of time, you most likely have some unfinished projects lying around. Around here, we call those UFO’s – UnFinished Objects. Maybe it’s a half-sewn dress that’s been sitting in a drawer for months or a crochet blanket that lost its momentum halfway through. First things first: That’s…
Can you believe that it is March? In some ways, this year is flying by, and in other ways, it’s creeping along. It’s crazy to believe that spring is coming and winter is on its way out. (I say that, and winter will come roaring back in, just wait and see!) I’m spending some time…
If there’s one thing I’ve learned from gardening, baking, sewing, and all the other “old-timey” skills I love, it’s this: you’re going to mess up—A LOT. And that’s okay! In fact, it’s necessary. We live in a world where we expect quick results. We see flawless quilts on Pinterest, perfectly frosted cakes on Instagram, and…
All right friends, how are we feeling about life this week? Same. Hard same. But we persevere. Or you know, go cry in the corner for a bit, and then just do the best we can. Just me? In addition to *waves hand* everything else going on in the world, I’m also making the attempt…
I got some questions about the adorable pup from my weekly check in post this past week. So here’s a formal introduction! This is Disco. He’s a chocolate Yorkie, and he has a lot of sass. Here’s the thing, I’m very much a cat person. But there was just something about this little dog at…
Well well well, another rainy day. Rainy days in the winter seem just a tiny bit more dreary than rainy days any other time of year. It’s not even like fun rainy, it’s borderline freezing rain and maybe we’ll get a snowflake or two kind of rainy. The gross kind! So I’m staying inside, snuggling…
Well well well…the weather has taken a turn here lately. It’s February in the Appalachians, which means that anything goes. We had snow, we had 60 degree days, and now we have ice. Like MEGA ice. So much ice. We started with lovely snow, and then it changed to sleet. And then to freezing rain….
Sit down, come in and sit a spell! How was last week? No really, how was last week? This is a time where you take center stage and tell me all about what is going on in your life in the last week (or longer!). It has been a bit warmer for the past week,…
