    Shown, Unshown – September-into-October

    I’ve been missing this space and, being so full of so many stories to tell, unsure of how to make a re-entry. And so here we are, more than half-way through October and I’m barely editing many of September’s captures. I’ll chalk it up to the busy-ness of work and Studio Tour prep, farm life and family life. All good,…

    There’s always one…

    …who stands out from the rest, isn’t there? One whose feathers are different than all of her sisters… One who grabs your heart (even when you’ve promised yourself to not let that happen again this year like it has in the past)! Two years ago it was Lavender Lily, this year its Cinnamon Girl. Isn’t she just lovely?! xoxo, M P.S.…

    All grown up and completely gorgeous, our Muscovy ducklings are no longer ducklings! Instead, they’re trying to fly all over the garden and eating us out of house and home with their love of and obsession for chicken scratch as a snack! So, I’ve been joking on social media that it’s time to send them to freezer camp… but it’s…

    Granny Square Blanket…Almost There

    With almost six weeks invested, in tiny increments of actual Crochet Time (mostly in the truck on the commute to and from work), and 54 granny squares created, my first Granny Square Blanket (er…throw) simply needs to be stitched together! It’s almost silly how excited I am about this simple creation 🙂 Do tell…what are you creating these days? xoxo,…
