In Honor of Sheep, for Easter
I’ve always loved sheep and have wanted to share their company and know everything there is to know about them. Especially since learning as a child that my name, Rachel in fact means “little ewe” in Hebrew. I was also born in the first hour after Easter as well. I’ve yet to find myself in… Continue reading In Honor of Sheep, for Easter

Slow Start and Good Intensions
February is nearly over. Thank goodness. But what I intended to be a one month off in December has snowballed into three. Guess I needed it. Creating while being a mother is hilarious. Creating while your kids’ schedules constantly change because of a pandemic and weather is annoying AF. Creating while also being autistic and… Continue reading Slow Start and Good Intensions
Christmas Stockings; knitting with traditional yarn and colors
I promised myself at the beginning of 2019, that I'd not pick up or start any new projects because I had plenty to finish. It was going to be the year of finishing all the projects. And books. But that's a different subject. But I wandered into an old local knitting store one day Central… Continue reading Christmas Stockings; knitting with traditional yarn and colors

My Shamrock Hat; tam o’sham designed by karendipity
Downton Abbey is what I watched all through the clicking of this yarn that became a hat. I didn’t mean for it to go that way, but it worked. I liked imaging it would be something that Daisy would wear while heading to her farm for the day. I didn’t make a swatch for the… Continue reading My Shamrock Hat; tam o’sham designed by karendipity
Just a Slice; a walk around Gregan’s
One of my favorite things these days is taking very slow walks through the woods and trying to notice everything. This evolved over time as I’ve been working on developing my mushroom hunter’s eye. Now I spy tiny lost feathers poking up from leaves, a mushroom about to burst through, and the elusive Lobaria lichens… Continue reading Just a Slice; a walk around Gregan’s
Details; a stay at Gregan’s Castle Hotel
This post will not do this lovely stay justice. At all. But I just wanted to share a teeny slice of some of my favorite details of a place I’ve been visiting for 8 years for teas and dinners, but this time I stayed for a few peaceful nights as well. For me, it was… Continue reading Details; a stay at Gregan’s Castle Hotel
