Going through the 'get started guide' from the official Bullet Journal people, I title my pages and number them just like they recommend. I know it sounds silly, but those numbered pages have been really helpful to me more than once already! I don't number the whole book at once though - I do 10-20… Continue reading How I Bullet Journal

Another Bullet Journal Convert
In the past, I had tried to be a journaler, which I abandoned when I went through a dry spell, got too busy or bored myself with 'more of the same' entries when I made myself write every day. I had a foray into being a Highly Effective Person complete with the planner than weighed more… Continue reading Another Bullet Journal Convert
Donita2018 – Sustain
My word for 2018 is 'sustain'. If you're thinking that 'sustain' and 'maintain' are very similar words, you'd be right. I like the direction we've both been moving and the direction things have taken for us (it's not without setbacks or disappointments, but you'll have that...). When I was looking for verbs that I could… Continue reading Donita2018 – Sustain
Donita2017 Reflection
My theme for 2017 was to "Maintain My Groovy Self". Maintaining what we've been working towards the last few years proved more challenging than we anticipated when I chose this focus. But I'm so glad that we did. Because we didn't have crazy ambitious goals and timelines in our minds, we were better able to… Continue reading Donita2017 Reflection
Donita2017 Q4 – The Home stretch
Well, it's time to shut 2017 down. You don't have to go home, but you can't stay here. I knit up a cowl for the hubs, to match a hat he made himself a few years ago. This was my first time knitting with Briar Rose Fibers yarn and this base was SO squishy and… Continue reading Donita2017 Q4 – The Home stretch
The Learning Fleece
Soon after I started spinning, I knew I wanted to spin for sweaters. And I love natural colored wool, especially the silvers and grays. That spring (2015), I roadtripped with the hubs and 2 gals from my LYS to the Great Lakes Fiber Show in Wooster. If' you're within a few hours' drive, you should… Continue reading The Learning Fleece
So I bought some Halloween fabric…
Joann's, oh Joann's, you get me every time. Joann's has this cute line of knit fabric called 'Doodles'. Apparently, you love it or hate it. Apparently, it washes up fine or it shrinks indefinitely... I made the mistake of posting some recent acquisitions on a sewing group on Facebook and got comments that looked like Yelp!… Continue reading So I bought some Halloween fabric…
Donita2017 Q3
Summer has gone and fall has come. It's finally sweater weather and I couldn't be more happy about it! First up in July, I finished a top (that I started in May), because I finally found a pattern that I could use this yarn for! And I used EVERY. LAST. BIT. July is Tour de… Continue reading Donita2017 Q3
For my white folks
This is for my fellow white folks. I'm speaking to you because I'm one of you, and while no two life experiences are the same, we likely have a lot more in common than we have with people of color.First of all, we need to stop telling people there's only one right way to be… Continue reading For my white folks
Donita2017 – Q2 update…up late
Well, since it's halfway through August, it only makes sense that I finally give you an update on how spring went, right?Q2 kicked my butt - I'm not even gonna try to be nice about it. It was rough. I was so ready for it to be over, it's not even funny. There were a… Continue reading Donita2017 – Q2 update…up late
