We are entering what we call “no rest for the weary” weeks. Starting with Halloween there is something almost every weekend that keeps us busy or away from home! I have the 4 essentials on my list for the holidays that I will not sacrifice but I like to think and work ahead to maintain a spirit of peace and joy in our home. For me that means creating homemade gifts ahead of time and stashing them away in readiness for gift giving.

4 CommentsMonday was bad for me. Good Mondays come after Sundays where I get to prep for the week. Food prep, menus and writing my weekly plan all add up to be what makes a Monday good for me. I also like to get some extra reading time in if I can. Restful reading on the weekends makes my crazy weeks a little easier.
Handmade Knit Hats and homemade Christmas gift plans
1 CommentEvery year I have a goal to make as many homemade Christmas gifts as possible. I confess that in the past few years I’ve not make ANYthing! Great plans but no results.
THIS is the year I am going to learn to knit. I’ve wanted to learn for a long time but I’m sooooo excited to make this one of my winter projects. MANY of my ongoing projects are huge and take a lot of time to finish! Rag rugs, cross stitch, quilts and scrapbooking are just a few I am working on a little at a time.
