Recovery is going well. Physical recovery, that is. Yesterday I felt more human that I'd felt in a week since major surgery. I was able to go down the stairs in a normal fashion and get myself showered. All that in addition to making coffee and fixing breakfast. It's amazing how the little things make … Continue reading Undoing the world

Lullabies and aromatherapy
The whir of the sewing machine has been a lullaby and the steam from the hot iron has been aromatherapy. For the last few days of this self-quarantine I've been holed up in my sewing room. It's a room I've recently adorned with new paint (a beautiful airy light blue.. think of a salty breeze) … Continue reading Lullabies and aromatherapy
The year of big girl panties: a recap.
My presence on my blog has been scant recently. I come to my laptop tonight from my sewing table. I always seem to think better when I'm sewing... my mind is free and it wanders while my hands are still busy. I'm so fidgety, just like my grandpa. I doubt I'll be posting much over … Continue reading The year of big girl panties: a recap.

I've … Continue reading A challenge for every day of the week

He was supposed to leave yesterday, but on our way to the airport he got a call saying his flight had been cancelled. I'm thinking it's because of the crazy winds … Continue reading The early bird gets the… workout
Do what you love & leave your legacy
I've really been thinking about my legacy lately. While it's something that can't be touched, it's probably the most important "thing" I will leave behind on this earth. For such a long time, in fact, until just a few weeks ago (!!), I thought my "career" defined me. I'm a very driven person, and success … Continue reading Do what you love & leave your legacy
A favorite sewing project
I just had to blog about this because it's been one of my favorite sewing projects so far. My mom gave me a gift card to JoAnn Fabrics (YAY!) for Christmas and of course the day I opened it, I went shopping. With coupons in hand, I bought almost everything I needed to make a … Continue reading A favorite sewing project
