Happy belated New Year everyone!
A lot of years, it’s not until the year end wrap up that I truly understand how much I did during the previous 365.25 days. This year even though the total yarn mileage was a bit of a shock, I was completely aware all year that I was busy. I nearly didn’t do this post at all.
2022 ended with us knowing we were going to be redoing the shower in the bathroom. After way too many trips to hardware stores and bathroom showrooms, we finally decided and by the end of May, that hurdle was cleared. No more water issues in the house. Or so I thought.

Happy 2022 everyone!
For the second year in a row, I think most of us were pretty happy to see the back end of the past year. It was a challenging year here.
I do like these year in review posts – even if they don’t tend to be that popular. They help me to see that I wasn’t idle after all. It seems like the winter can be a hard time to change years. It’s dark and cold (up here anyway!) and what the heck did I even accomplish anyway?
What indeed.
There were more blog posts than usual Continue reading Just This Side of Sane – 2021 Wrap Up →
Well. 2020 is over, to the relief of most of the world, I’d think. In reality, this annual post almost didn’t happen. It wasn’t until I went back through the photos on my phone that I saw I wasn’t quite as idle as I’d thought. I mean, I took almost 4000 pictures… I had to have done some things, right?
I was pretty sure I’d done nothing this year but between getting to know 2 new kittens, refurbishing a loom, finishing a spinning wheel, prepping Continue reading Better Days Are Coming Now – 2020 Year End Wrap up →
Well, I put this post off for a little longer than I should have – but I had what I think is were understandable reasons mixed with a little procrastination.
In mid-December of 2018, Stormi began spending almost all of her time in the bedroom which meant more time for me in the bedroom taking care of her. That put some projects and some of my usual stress relievers on hold because I wouldn’t leave her alone for more than a few hours at a time . Continue reading 2019 Year End Wrap up, part 2 – everything else →
This highlights reel / wrap up is a little later than I planned. It’s also far longer than I’d planned – so I’m breaking it up into parts 1 and 2. Today’s will cover the Sewing Machine related stuff and tomorrow’s will be the rest of the year in review.
In January, I moved all free help to the AA Vintage Sewing Machines Study Facebook group. I did this because so many people would ask for help but leave incorrect contact information, or I’d respond and never hear back at all. This way, a group of us can draw on our collective experiences and help Continue reading 2019 Year End Wrap up – part 1: sewing machines →
Well, I’ve been really quiet on the site this year but I thought I’d do a year in review anyway because it hasn’t been a quiet year in real life! It seems a bit of a roller coaster ride of good things and drama but all in all, it was a calmer year than recently previous years.
Good news: Continue reading Well Well – A Year End Wrap Up →
