    July {yarnalong}

    I must confess that the photos I stole from my Instagram while the house sleeps are from June and not July. Our five kids and two wee visitors, hubby, the two dogs and the cat are all still, amazingly, asleep. So I type with the phone held above my head in the dim morning light Continue reading

    Yarnalong {January}

    Oh my, it’s January- and that means that it is time for Ginny’s monthly Yarnalong. I knit a bunch of radiator mittens for the kids in December and started another crochet sock yarn blanket. This is the place where I found a pattern that I’m using as a guideline. I cast on 294 + 2 Continue reading

    2019 A List Of Longing

    When I close my eyes and think back on this past year I see mud on shoes from days and months of rain. Too much for our soil to take in. Heaps and heaps, rivers of rain. Storms that opened wide the skies and emptied themselves out all over our little lives. I hear the Continue reading

    and just like that

    “Once I had gathered Psyche’s bones then, it seemed, all that concerned her would be over and done with. Already, even with the great act still ahead, there was flowing in upon me, from the barren years beyond it, a dejection such as I had never conceived. It was not at all like the agonies Continue reading

    Holiday Help for Foster and Adoptive Parents {Thanksgiving 2018}

    Holiday Help for Foster and Adoptive Parents {Thanksgiving 2018}

    As I am putting together some resources for a support group that I will lead tomorrow I thought that it might be wise to have a place for all the links I am sharing with others. I found these videos very helpful for those preparing to enter the foster care and adoptive family road. You Continue reading

    November Yarnalong

    I’m reading Beautiful Boy this week. I’m not ready to say much about it except that, the story is familiar, extremely well written and hard. Honesty and real life usually are hard though. I’m making potholders for the church kitchen. Someone awesome asked me to make some for her this Summer. I had never made Continue reading

    September Yarnalong # 1

    September Yarnalong # 1

    September is my absolute favorite month. It is the ending of the hottest days of the year and the beginning of cooler and dimmer days. I trade my tall cups full of ice and unsweetened tea for cozy cups of steaming hot teas. I start thinking about knitting for Christmas and making menus for the Continue reading

    August {yarnalong}

    It’s been pretty quiet on this blog but I did remember that it is time for Ginny’s monthly yarnalong. So yay, think I’ll join in. I finished The Road Back To You by Ian Morgan Cron on Audible. It is such a great book and I think I’ve finally found my enneagram number. I liked Continue reading
