Sewing Update
I’ve been very quiet about sewing lately. There were things I had to do, like clear away some things that were in front of my sewing area. Progress on that has been very slow. I’ve also had a few moments … Continue reading
It’s in the Details
One of the things I think can intimidate the beginner with sewing is feeling like you have to get it all perfect the first time. Unless you are joining a group that has accuracy rules, I don’t think it’s as … Continue reading
Fiddle Update
I thought I would do a quick fiddle update — a little time has passed since my fiddle goals entry. It’s given me some time to get used to the new bridge and break in the new strings. I seem … Continue reading
“It’s not damaged, it’s full of memories!”
My husband, Christopher, and I are still getting back to juggling. Slowly but… well, you know the rest. It’s been a little slow-going due to the weather (we unfortunately have to juggle outdoors at the moment), but I’m sure we’ll … Continue reading

Overcoming Shyness Through Storytelling
My husband, Christopher, is a writer (The Juggling Writer), and he realizes that he may someday need to read or speak to audiences to help promote his writing. He was always incredibly shy, but has been finding ways to overcome … Continue reading
Fiddle Introductions: Part II, T. Fiddle
As I mentioned in my first entry, Aisling was no longer working out for me. I didn’t want to go through a lot of money and trouble to find those “perfect” strings, because I had a feeling no matter what … Continue reading
