Sweater Weather: Knitting My Way Through Autumn with Local Yarn
As fall settles in, I find my fingers naturally gravitating towards knitting needles and yarn. With three new projects on my needles, including a cardigan and a sweater vest made with local Slovak yarn, I’m embracing the season’s cozy vibes. The yarn isn’t soft but perfect for my latest project, and I’m excited to share the results soon. Plus, a visit to my favorite local yarn shop led to a few irresistible finds. Ready for more tea and crochet today!
Discovering the Sweetness of Homegrown Apples
I’ve never been a fan of store-bought apples, but after harvesting our first batch of homegrown apples, I’ve had a change of heart. These apples are so fresh and sweet, they taste like candy without the guilt! Today, I’m baking my very first apple pie using the imperfect apples from our harvest. With a trusted recipe and a lot of excitement, I’m taking it slow, recovering from a migraine, and savoring the simple joys of baking with homegrown goodness.
When Rest is Essential: Taking Time for Myself
After a month of hosting my mom and prioritizing her needs, I’ve realized how much I’ve neglected my own. Now that she’s leaving, I’m taking a much-needed break from social media and daily obligations to focus on recharging. Between migraines and emotional exhaustion, it’s become clear that rest is essential for my well-being. This week, I’m stepping back, spending time with God, and allowing myself the space to heal and reflect.
