It has been super hot and dry here for the last month. We are keeping our fingers crossed our summer monsoon moisture will start up soon – we really need the rain! I took “advantage” of the heat and stayed inside and did crafting and reading this weekend, so here’s what I worked on: Jane…

Kicking off week one of year 16 of Year of Projects with the following things: Handspinning – Tour de Fleece: The Tour started on Saturday, July 4th, and I pulled out two 140-gram gradient packs from Hilltop Cloud Fibres in the UK. The colorway is Wild Rose, and it’s a blended roving of bamboo, Blue-Faced…

This month closed out HRCYED 2.0 for me and also was the end of my 2-month personal curriculum on the Silk Road. July will kick off HRCYED 3.0, with my Law of Fives Bingo continuing thru the end of the year. Additionally, I’ll be focusing on Oceanography for my July/August 2026 personal curriculum topic. More…

Year 15 of the Year of Projects was a wild one. Lots of changes in life things, some of which meant I didn’t get as much done on my craft list as I wanted to. However, I will count it a win as I finished up several WIPs and started (and sometimes finished) several quilt…

This week marks the end of year 15 of Year of Projects. I’ll have a summary post to talk about what I checked off my list (and what I didn’t), but this post will be all about what I worked on this week to close out year 15. Oscar: I finished up this little grandpa…

First up this week, a finished Lite Bright sweater! I used 3 skeins of Hedgehog Fibres sock yarn in a speckled pink to blue fade. I used almost all the yardage for the first color (which I opted to knit the short/cap sleeves in) but had a bit left of the other two. This is…

Hard to believe we are just a couple of weeks away from mid-year. I feel like the first 6 months of 2026 have flown by! Here’s what I’ve been working on this week: Jane Austen 250th Anniversary Quilt: I have been working on the last appliqué pieces which form the second interior border. These have…

May was a super busy month life-wise, so only limited titles finished up this month. Here are their summaries: The Geomagician by Jennifer Mandula: This was my Caffeine and Legends book box title for May. It’s the first in what I think will be a 2-book series (or maybe 3?). It’s a clever use of…

I kind of fell off the planet there for a week. (You can read more about the personal/life stuff below.) But I am back with a 2-week update this time. Supernova Quilt: Still working on the center section. I have all but two of the rainbow stars sewn into place. There is also an exterior…
