I feel like my summer has been just as busy as the school year. Partly that's because I'm now selling Usborne books and have been working hard to learn all the ins and outs. Since I am so busy I've been trying to stay on task with lots of lists. There is something so incredibly …

Goals for Summer 2020
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 …

Where has April gone?! You would think with all the problems due to the virus that time would just be hanging, but it's flying by. My life hasn't changed that much except for church. However, I have felt over the past month or so that I'm waking up more from my grief. I don't really …

March seemed to crawl by, but April has been flying. I can't believe we're already a third of the way through April. We still have lots of snow here, but it is slowly - oh so slowly - disappearing. We've slowly been getting used to doing church via livestream or as we did Wednesday night …

I can hardly believe that I allowed a whole week to slip by without a post from me. I see all these posts about what people are getting done now that they have to stay home because of the virus, but I feel like the virus has taken time away from me as I had …

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 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 81
This has been a big week craft wise. I cautiously went back to knitting - at first. Then I went at it frantically to finish a hooded scarf I started for my daughter before she went with her siblings to a church snow camp. I finished it just a couple of hours before she left. …
Friday File 80
We've had a really good week. My wrists are slowly on the mend so I've been able to do more handwork. I've been cutting out quilt squares, scrapbooking, sewing and cautiously knitting. Playing the piano is still what causes the most pain so except for playing in church I'm not playing the piano yet. I'm …
