One Stitch at a Time

Spring has officially arrived in West Cork. Thankfully we've had a few warm days accompanied by blue skies and sunshine. I've enjoyed gardening once again. One of the Japanese maple trees planted over the winter has come into leaf. The tulips have started blooming and lots of seedlings are poking through the soil, a promise… Continue reading One Stitch at a Time

Spoken Like a True Dictator

June 2, 2020June 3, 2020 patchworkmomma10 Comments

I am at a loss for words. Nothing I say can possibly articulate how angry, helpless, and sad I feel at this moment in time. The images of George Floyd's murder, the worldwide protests, the brutality, the burning of buildings... Every day the news makes my head spin and my heart ache. Where do we… Continue reading Spoken Like a True Dictator

Windy but worth it when we reached the top of the hill. Beautiful views #westcork #westcorklife #westcorkexplorer #outdooradventures #hillwalkingireland #hiking #naturephotography #naturelovers #ireland #nofilter
Can you tell by his smile that he was happy to return to preschool today after the 2 week spring break? Mom enjoyed some me time too. I felt much better after exercising this morning for the first time in a month. (Although someone recently posted a pic of a project bag with the caption “knitting is my cardio.” I wish! 😂) When we got home this afternoon his new sleeveless sweater was finished drying so he could try it on. He loves it. 🥰 The vest even got the “not scratchy” seal of approval. The yarn is 100% merino DK. I’m happy with the size 4-5 years fit and think he’ll get lots of use out of it. Slowly it’s warming up outside but there’s still a chill in the West Cork air.
I’m in my knitting groove this bank holiday Monday. I finished a shawl Saturday and blocked it today. Almost finished with this boys sleeveless sweater. While my family is out walking and I have the house to myself, I’m thinking about casting on something new... or should I keep finishing my other WIPs since I’m on a roll? I hope you’re finding time to relax and do what you enjoy today too. #knittingisthenewyoga #knittingismytherapy #knittersofinstagram #knitknitknit #bipocmakers #bipocknitters #blackknittersofinstagram #knittersoftheworld #knittingmom #handknit
I love celebrations and seasonal holidays. It was special having 5 of our kids together for our Easter meal today, although we missed one son because he was working. Blue skies, sunshine, and togetherness made it a near perfect day. #celebrationring #easterdecor #waldorfinspiredhome #slowsunday #blendedfamily #spring #allyearround
