The only impossible journey is the one you never begin. ~ Tony Robbins Another week has passed. I'm amazed at how long the days feel. Sure, it helps the days are light longer now here in the PNW as we move to the summer equinox. We are still in shelter in place until May 4.…Read more Working from Home: Week 9

The Last Monday in April
Oh, the lovely fickleness of an April day. ~ W. H. Gibson Spring days in April can have all four seasons mixed in or it can rain at the drop of a hat even when there are now clouds in sight. Normally, I like to do a weekly group shot of all the Malabrigo March…Read more The Last Monday in April
Working From Home: Week 8
You have enemies? Good. That means you've stood up for something, sometime in your life. ~ Winston Churchill It's been eight weeks since I started working from home. When this started, I didn't foresee it lasting this long. I'm not sure why. I had no scientific data. I also had no frame of reference to…Read more Working From Home: Week 8
Still Working From Home
Those who endure, conquer. It's another week of working from home. Week seven to be exact. I'm starting to think that this commuting thing was an illusion. Did I really spend hours of my life sitting in traffic? We're still sheltering in place and will be until at least May 4 for now. We're still…Read more Still Working From Home
Knitting Gone Wild
When you are knitting socks and sweaters and scarves, you aren't just knitting. You are assigning a value to human effort. You are holding back time. You are preserving the simple unchanging act of handwork. ~ Stephanie Pearl-McPhee My vacation week is coming to an end. Don't get me wrong, I am grateful to still…Read more Knitting Gone Wild
Working from Home: Week 6
We travel not to escape life, but for life not to escape us. It's week six of working from home, but this week I'm on vacation from the day job. Sure it seems a bit odd, but the world is an odd place at the moment. I've been thinking a bit about how Godzilla comes…Read more Working from Home: Week 6
The Last Cast-Ons of Malabrigo March 2020
Success is a journey, not a destination. Wow, March was a wild month! I'm not sure what April has in store, but I wouldn't be that surprised if it involved zombies, aliens, velociraptors or Godzilla. I may have gone a little wild with 22 new projects in March. Go big or go home, right? That…Read more The Last Cast-Ons of Malabrigo March 2020
The Day the Earth Caught Fire
"What we've got here is a failure to communicate." Cool Hand Luke Friday night movie night definitely has a different vibe now that it's the only thing we can do right now. I think it's important to maintain any sense of normality that we can. You might think by the title that we watched a…Read more The Day the Earth Caught Fire
Still Working from Home
Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak. Courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen. ~ Winston Churchill This is week five of working from home and week four of the British Hubby and I being home together. We are several days into a mandatory shelter in place order…Read more Still Working from Home
