Making, not Buying

November 13, 2017November 12, 2017 NantucketKnitterLeave a comment

The winds have picked up on my little island the past couple of days and summer is well and truly behind us. New England can be funny in the fall - one day it's 70 degrees and humid, and the next your hands are numb. Magdalena and I take our two year old, rambunctious (but… Continue reading Making, not Buying

Some Bumps in the No Spending Road

Me with a homemade fancy coffee I made with my milk frother I mentioned in my last post. So, the first couple of days of No Spend November were easy. November third was a bit hard. I knew it would be a tough challenge as I am a compulsive spender and I love takeout. And… Continue reading Some Bumps in the No Spending Road

No Spend November – It Begins

Well, it officially came and left. The first day of No Spend November. I just wanted to pop in and give an update on the challenge. I intended to post a couple days beforehand with some things I had done to prepare (yes, prepare!), but well, life. I love fancy coffees. My Instagram is full of coffee… Continue reading No Spend November – It Begins

Some #knitting with my #yarn from @flockack, some #spicedhotchocolate from @giftandboxnantucket and handmade mug from the same, and #Christmas movies make for a perfect night. . Happy stroll, and remember to #shoplocal!
One #handknit #beanie, done! This one is being given as a gift but my daughter loves it so much, she’s asked for me to make her one. . The #yarn is from @flockack, #shoplocal!
Oh hey look I finished it.
#Run in the snow @barrett.bunch said, it’s not so bad, she said. ❄️
I just walked home from town with two five pound bags of flour, two 14oz cans of milk, and four bags of chocolate chips in my backpack. All told, with the other random crap in my bag - maybe 20 pounds MAX on my back. . And it sucked. . Then I remembered that’s less than 1/3 of the weight that I’ve lost in fat. That I used to carry around 60 more pounds of fat on my body 24/7 than I have now. . And it didn’t suck so much anymore! . Yes I’ve gained back about 25 pounds since my skinniest, yes I’m still dealing with disordered eating and societal expectations of thin vs healthy. . But in that bottom picture I don’t think I could’ve even walked a mile without losing my breath, let alone with weight on my back. . That’s pretty freaking cool and something to celebrate!
We may not be professional tree decorators but I’d say our tree turned out pretty great 🌲.
Some #Christmas #knitting on #Thanksgiving morning - and a snaggle toothed #cat. . This wonderful kit is from @flockack.
My new #pattern is now live! Link in profile. . Get 50% off for the next few days with the code DOUBLEBRIM. . #doublebrimbeanie
About to watch Frozen II with this beauty. . Oh and is that another #doublebrimbeanie designed and #knit by yours truly? . (#Pattern available later today!)
