For the Moms
Hello all, I hope this post finds you safe and well. I have tried to start this post and failed several times. In the US, tomorrow is Mother’s Day, so some sort of celebratory salutation seems to be required. But the world is such a sad, suffering place I have spent the week filled with…

Bottom of the Bag
Goodness–where have the weeks gone? One minute I was furiously knitting Mother’s Day gifts and the next it was August. Some kids are already back in school in Phoenix, which I simply cannot wrap my head around. We are still in the throes of summer, weather-wise, and we will remain so for another month at…

Reallyfast
*reallyfast* I wanted to check in and say that deadline knitting is moving forward. *reallyfast* My new Sucre Sucre Miniature progress keeper is the best thing ever. It’s like a tiny little wedge of Babybel and it makes me sooo happy. *reallyfast* Peanut has discovered the secret to moving forward and nothing is safe. Phones. …

Welcome Peanut
Our little Peanut has arrived safe and sound. Querido and I are thrilled, proud, tired, and bewildered all at once. Blogging is going to take a back burner as we all get ourselves sorted out, but knitting continues and you can find me keeping odd hours on Instagram @antiquotidian. P.S. He wore his Little Sprout…

Under the Big Top
Hello All! After one big night of rain (and part of the next day too) last weekend, the rains have moved away from the Valley, leaving some very happy plants in their wake. The Bermuda grass threw out new sprouts, the hibiscus plants returned from the dead with a respectable show of leaves, and the…

Me Made
Big news–I made clothes! Oh yeah–I’m making something else too. Querido and I are very excited 🙂 Me Made May and pregnancy are oddly similar in their focus on bodies. As we make clothes we are deciding how we want our bodies to look and be perceived: natural, retro, krafty, polished. I love the idea…

Second Try
Hello again, everyone! After much angst and more hours, I can finally share one of my projects-under-wraps: We’ve moved! For many reasons, most of which are too personal and dull to be detailed here, we chose Phoenix for our home. The last time we lived in Phoenix, I invested a lot of energy in being…

Goodbye 2016
Happy New Year, everyone. November didn’t have a post a day, as I had hoped, but I managed a respectable 18 posts, more than any other month last year. Then December arrived, and I threw myself full-tilt into holiday celebrations and secret projects… But now I am back. My fellow bloggers are celebrating the best…

Thank Goodness
Happy Thanksgiving to all my American readers. This is an odd holiday, isn’t it? We get two full days off on a secular holiday, one that was instated as a national holiday by President Lincoln but was then rearranged by FDR to make more time for shopping. Then there’s the Pilgrims. I definitely don’t have…
