As I sat looking at my journaled year in review, I realized I had lost the thread of these annual posts sharing my intention word for the year, and how that played out in my personal life, crafting, and later, fiber arts teaching. I would love to say that all this is to blame on… Continue reading In Pursuit of Intention

The PEG Replacements
First, I spent months googling everything I couldn't use anymore. Next, I spent a month googling everything I needed to replace. Then, I cried a lot of real, valid, frustrated tears. Trying to figure out how to function and appear in public without the help of SO MANY things that you just accept are necessary… Continue reading The PEG Replacements
8 weeks without PEG
It's now been about 8 weeks since the purge. True to the model of an elimination diet, I've not actively removed anything OTHER than PEG. There have been aspects to this that have been a pain. Like the realization that I would need to carry my own hand soap with me everywhere. Or I need… Continue reading 8 weeks without PEG
Sustenance
My goals for 2018 were:I hope to read new books, both fiction and non-fiction.I hope to see new movies & TV shows and not just rely on re-watching things that I'm comfortable with (but don't think this means I won't binge The Office or Dawson's Creek again - because that is ALWAYS an option).I hope… Continue reading Sustenance
How I get the gross out of raw fleece
After I've selected & skirted a fleece, I usually wrap it up in the plastic drop cloth and store until I'm ready to wash. If there was a lot of VM that shook out, I will gather up the fleece into smaller bags and shake the VM off outside. Another thought about the VM -… Continue reading How I get the gross out of raw fleece
BuJo Like No One’s Watching
Okay, my final thought on my bullet journal is this: BuJo like no one's watching.There are many artistically talented people who bullet journal. That is great. I love looking through the hashtag when I've got a few minutes of waiting to do (but not enough to pull out the knitting!).There are many people who post… Continue reading BuJo Like No One’s Watching
How I Bullet Journal
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
