Labyrinth
Labyrinth for Mother’s Day, a photo by NurseJulie on Flickr. I really enjoyed making this labyrinth. I like to think it was as calming to stitch as it is to trace for meditation. Also, I love a French knot. So I had to include some in the design. Pattern by Sublime Stitching.
Sowing Seeds
This past October I wrote about feeling bored with my blog and needing to refocus. I tried to return to my original intention of The Ideal Me, but I just feel like the sentiment is just not where I am anymore. So, I’m making a fresh start. Each new year I like to think about … Read more
Menu Monday
I’m tired of that sinking feeling that accompanies the question, “What’s for dinner?” I’ve committed to making weekly menus and reporting on how cooking for the week went. So the first week of the new diet was really great! The second week has been good, but not quite as easy. I have a little most … Read more

Stoneware, embroidery patterns, pumpkin flavored pasta, that evil pumpkin spice latte from Starbucks. You guys, I buy one of those lattes every year and I think they are gross. To me they taste like bologna … Read more

Work in progress
I’ve learned a lot this first year tending a garden. It takes daily work, interest, and love. When you lose sight of what you’re doing, your plants won’t produce. I’ve found these same lessons apply to my blog. When I lose sight of why I’m writing things get stale. I copy the same post over … Read more
