Crafty Winds
The humidity has arrived here in Spring Creek and it is feeling steamy outside! We had a really comfortable June without much humidity and highs hovering around the mid-70s; it was just perfect. Now by the afternoon it feels like a sauna is blowing in through the open windows and we have finally given in

Spinning Into Summer
It’s hard to believe that over two months have gone by since my last post. Summer is in full swing here and these warm, sunny days are such a treat. I love seeing the mountains covered in green, and every day there is something new blooming in our yard. As we approach the Solstice, we

Almost Finished
It really caught me by surprise that several (three) people have mentioned over the past few weeks that they haven’t seen any new blog posts in a while and asked if I’m still working on anything. Honestly, I think that is my entire reader base and I was surprised that anybody would even notice, but

Indoors and Out
After some quick but very heavy rainfall on Friday evening, we were graced with a beautiful and sunny weekend. The creek sure did its best to try to flood our yard, though! Earlier in the week a few friends stopped by to drop off another surprise bag full of sheep fleece. I hadn’t fully intended

Rabbit Holes
I feel like my crafting so far this year has been rather scattered, but despite this I am already making progress on many of my “non-resolutions” for the year. I am recognizing more and more these days as I work on bits of projects throughout the week that there is, in fact, a bit of

Healing Clouds
Thank you all so much for your kind words about Hank. It has been a week now and Kyle and I both have to keep reminding ourselves that he is no longer here. We see him out of the corner of our eye, and hear him repositioning in his kennel which is no longer in

The Wind
Old Boy always sat in the same spot. And licks of wind scattered tufts of his fur Like white dandelion seeds across the yard. And he pretended the wind had hands To pet him with And that it didn’t care about Fur on its fingers Or old dog smell on its palms. That is what
