I was kept awake all night by howling wind and rain pelting my windows. Oh, the yard looks calm now, but trust me. It’s wiiiiindyyyyyyyyy. Sure, most of the trees that have potential to damage the house (or us) fell victim to previous storms (one, two, three) or just randomly fell on their own (four, […]

This afternoon, I crossed some pretty big stuff of of my list, and I am celebrating by allowing myself to drop in here for a few moments of blog time. I have this great little widget on my WordPress dashboard that shows me what I posted around this time in previous years. Usually there are […]

The theme of this week’s last-minute gift-making spree appears to be “squares.” There are charm squares in the quilt top, and my grandmother’s granny squares in the pillows and nearly-finished table runner. Squares and vibrant colors. Wheeee! Neil nearly had another heart attack* when he walked in last night and saw all of that color […]

At this time of year, I make lists. There’s the Gift List, which is sort of my master list. It includes everyone I want to give a gift to, a list of what I want to give them, and a budget for that giving. Then there’s the To-Make List, which is just like it sounds. […]

I made a bunch of hooks today, filled some long-awaited orders (thank you for your patience), and made a couple of extras for the shop (stay tuned). I still have to sand them and buff them, but they’ll be good to go for my Friday shipping day. By the way, if you are thinking you’d […]

And phone. And internet… Actually, I shouldn’t complain. I’ve been kept warm and well-fed by my parents for much of the last five days. And when the power is restored, I will still have a house to come home to. Not everyone can say that. Neil has been in Toronto since Thursday, and will be […]

Thanks for the well-wishes, everyone. We have been without power since Monday night, and are being told it could take another 7-10 days. I have been able to access the internet now and then, thanks to my neighbors and their generator, but my electronics are beginning to lose power. Town Hall has set up a […]

Hurricane Sandy, I mean. And while we have been super lucky in the past, who knows if we will have power this time tomorrow? If I take a while to respond to email over the next week, you can assume we are without electricity. We’ve stocked up on firewood, dragged much of our outdoor furniture […]

It has been so long since I’ve done one of these, and I thought it was about time for another! Feel free to play along on your own blog, and link to it in the comments. Here is a smattering of my own recent reasons to be cheerful: Pumpkin patches in October, both recent and […]
