Spring seemed like it dragged on for so long this year. The end of school felt a tiny bit anti-climatic so that I've barely realized yet that it IS summer. The weather hasn't helped either to be honest - cool and rainy. I'm still wearing sweaters and slippers. Anyway, it just dawned on me that …

As I started to think about what to share with you about our week I realized that I have accomplished more than I would have guessed. Happy thought. First up - I am so excited that I am almost finished the blanket that I've been working on since last summer. I've grown so fond of …
Sewing and Crafts – Winter 2018/19
It's been a long time since I posted goals for sewing and crafting. To be honest, it's been a long time since I felt like doing either of these in an organized way. Slowly, slowly my fatigue is lifting, and I'm gaining an interest in life beyond making sure we all eat three meals a …
Friday File 83
The last few weeks have felt like a "two steps forward one step back" dance with processing my grief which explains why I haven't been posting much. Everyone expects that grief will be hard emotionally. I just really had no concept of how physically hard it would be to deal with grief. I feel like …
Friday File 82
I know I've been missing in action for over a week now, but I have a good excuse. I've been battling the flu. It's never bad enough for me to just stay in bed and get over it. It's just bad enough to make me drag my way through school in the morning and then …
Friday File 78
This has been a busy but good week. The second week back to school after the winter break so we're getting into our routine. I had a very busy week crafting wise. The first picture shows my temperature blanket as of January 17th. The two multi-coloured stripes stand for the two birthdays we've had so …
Friday File 77
This week seems to have gone by in something of a fog. Getting used to school even with only two weeks off has been an adjustment. It didn't help that we had several dentist appointments to work in around our school schedule. We had another birthday this week. Micah has hit the double-digit mark now! …
Knitted Temperature Blanket
Just before the new year I heard about a new kind of blanket - new to me, but apparently it's been around for a while. A temperature blanket. Some people knit it and some people crochet. I've never knit a blanket before. Lots of mittens, socks, sweaters, etc. but never a blanket. I was intrigued. …
Friday File 76
This has been a busy winter break but a good one. I wrote out a list of things to do, and I think I accomplished about 80% of it so I'm happy. It's been nice to stay up late and sleep in. To not have the pressure of school every day. I'm not sure if …
Friday File 75
No sewing this week (insert sad face), but I was able to get in on a big sale at my local fabric store. That means I have enough fabric for several projects. Enough to keep me busy for several weeks! Our family had two firsts this week. First, our oldest son, who now has his …
