The granddaughter is here for a few days and has her school work that she’s missing. While she tackles her math worksheet I’m going to tackle another icord increase section on my @westknits woven chevrons shawl 🌈

Can you see the heart? ❤️

One of the things that I love is to stay still and watch the lake dance with all of the things around her 🌊💖🌊

I may not like to be wet but I love to watch the water. Whenever my husband can’t find me in the cottage he knows I’m some where watching the lake on this island that we call home.

Do you also have some #lakeerielove to share? Or perhaps a local place you go that you could sit and watch fir hours? If so leave me the hashtag in the comments so I can virtually check it out. 👀👀

Did you feel celebrate Worldwide Spin in Public Da

Did you feel celebrate Worldwide Spin in Public Day? Lisa of @for_ewe graciously offered me her porch on this holiest of holidays for spinners and spoiler alert; I even induced a new member to spinning fiber into yarn.

I’ll have lots to say soon but I thought I’d share a little of my autistic joy once my brain realized we were going to hyper focus on yarn for most of the day. 💖

Many thanks to my daughter @alexisdurdil for coming out to help take photos, set up and break down, and just be there.

I left a sample of spun yarn with Lisa so you can see what you can do with the @kimdyesyarn fluff she has in stock and rumor has it she’s getting more braids this week!

Be sure to check out her shop and all of the other shops on the @yarndiscoverytour this week.

If you’re looking for the cute coffee spot on th

If you’re looking for the cute coffee spot on the island I’m pretty sure I found it for you. @noddisjavapib is a must stop for the coffee, tea, or matcha lover in your life.

With the fall season upon us make sure to stop in and show them some love before they close for the season. I know I can make my matcha at home but there’s something a bit magical about it when you can have someone else make one for you 💖

I’m hopeful that Maurice and I can have a spinning date on the patio before they close up for the season but if not I’m sure this won’t be my last matcha pop in of the season.

Do you have a favorite spot on the island? Let me know in the comments.

Not an ad just sharing the little businesses I frequent on this little island that I love.

There is something magical about early Sunday mornings in September 💖

Teaching classes, sharing my passion for yarn in all of its states of being is something that I know I have to do.

How do you figure out what’s your thing is? Find something that you realize not doing it isn’t an option and then figure your your why.

Spin in Public Day is coming - let me share on my love of yarn with you on the porch at @for_ewe in Oberlin. I’ll be there from 11-5 on Saturday, September 16th.

I do hope that not coming isn’t an option for you 💖

How does a lover of yarn count time without actual

How does a lover of yarn count time without actually looking at the minutes ticking by on a clock? Let me tell you 🌊🧶🌊

We’re to the point on my @westknits #wovenchevrons WIP where one row equals a one way trip on the @millerboatline sitting comfortably in my driver’s seat of my truck.

Don’t worry I’ll be back on the island later today to teach my crochet class at the library.

And if you’re looking to connect but aren’t in the island you can see me on Spin in Public Day (9/16) at @for_ewe with my collection of spinning wheels. (Three is totally a collection, right?!?)

Does your hobby have a day on the calendar to celebrate it? If so let me know in the comments. ⬇️⬇️

Watching my friends watching the moon rise in fron

Watching my friends watching the moon rise in front of our cottage. 💖🌕💖

Some of the things I enjoy doing as a neurodivergent human is to watch my friends have fun. I’m getting better about fluttering in and interacting with it feeling less awkward.

Many times I still have lots of “I don’t know what to do with my hands” moments but it’s getting better. And when it isn’t I’ve tried to be kinder to myself by not over-analyzing the whole scenario repeatedly.

Hang out with your people even when you’re feeling awkward as you never know when this time is the last time you’ll have.

Junior swiped Perry off of his shelf and now it’s one of his favorites. My daughter was afraid to let him play with it and I told her if he ruined it I’d make him another.

This is your reminder to stop saving that “toy” for a special time - take that thing off the shelf and start enjoying it today 💖

What are you guilty of doing this with? For me it’s my workbooks and journals; I just don’t want to mess them up. They bring me little joy on the shelf so I’m learning to break out my “toys” end enjoy 💖

Double tap if you may get guilty if this or if you want to make a Perry of your own 🧶
