hold tight

I have been wanting to sit and write another entry for a few days now but every time I looked at my screen, it’s felt hard to come up with what to write. Life has been feeling heavy lately. In our little state it’s easy to feel protected and removed from what is going on around us but the news keeps getting harder and harder. It feels trivial to write about what I’ve knit, or baked, or observed outside but then I realize it’s my way of finding an anchor in these times. When life around me feels unbalanced and chaotic, I find the need to find something that stabilizes me. For me that’s crafting, and movement, and observing small moments in daily life that helps me feel grounded again. So that is what I can share with you. Hold tight friends.

Quilting is a new to me craft which I have really come to enjoy.

This week I finally finished this vest. My first time steeking (cutting into your knitting) and happy with the result.

I’m deep into sorting and cataloging seeds for the upcoming flower season. While it still feels long off, the first seeds will get sown in a few short weeks.
