I am learning to craft a life that is authentic, creative and purposeful; a life filled with the things and people I love.

Who’s In Control?

January 11, 2021January 11, 2021 ~ Sheryl ~ Leave a comment

Wowza! Last week was certainly a doozy. I feel as though I lived several lifetimes in the course of the past seven days. I don’t recognize much of anything in the world these days and that may not be a bad thing. Real Old Testament Stuff Movie buffs will remember those words as part of … Continue reading Who’s In Control?

A New Year, New Perspective

January 4, 2021January 4, 2021 ~ Sheryl ~ Leave a comment

Welcome to 2021. It has been a long time since I last posted because I got tired of the politics, pandemic, and power grabs. I didn’t think I could coherently write anything that didn’t involve screaming and cursing - neither of which I do in my day to day life. Life in 2020 brought out … Continue reading A New Year, New Perspective

Textiles Make A Home

November 9, 2020November 9, 2020 ~ Sheryl ~ Leave a comment

There is one singular item that transforms a hard square house into a soft, safe, and cozy home. No matter your decorating style, there are textiles to compliment and enhance that style. Color, texture and ambience, textiles are your home’s best friend. Choosing Home Textiles We have all wandered the isles of home decor and … Continue reading Textiles Make A Home

Focus, Focus, Focus

November 2, 2020 ~ Sheryl ~ Leave a comment

For, what seems to be a lifetime, I have allowed myself to be driven to distraction by current events. About the time I began this blog our world fell apart. I began with the vision of writing about what I do to build the life I want during this season of my life as well … Continue reading Focus, Focus, Focus

It’s Coffee, Not Politics

October 22, 2020 ~ Sheryl ~ 1 Comment

The environment is one of those subjects that has been co-opted by politicians to bring people to their side and win votes. They play a game of tug-o-war, pulling and promising until one side finally wins a round. While I am sure there are people in the world who don’t care a wit about the … Continue reading It’s Coffee, Not Politics

Little Decisions

October 21, 2020 ~ Sheryl ~ 1 Comment

I am not a good decision maker. I agonize and overthink myself into a state of inertia. I firmly believe I could have accomplished so much more in my life if I had just made the decision to do it...and then actually did the thing. I worried about making a mistake. I didn’t trust myself … Continue reading Little Decisions

The Final Word

October 8, 2020October 8, 2020 ~ Sheryl ~ Leave a comment

Today I am doing things a little differently. I’m not going outside because, well, it is kind of gross out there this morning. Mugginess has replaced the cool fall air. Delta is churning in the gulf and we are expecting some wind and rain tomorrow. So today I’m indoors. But I’m also coming inside in … Continue reading The Final Word

Going Backward, But Moving Forward

October 7, 2020 ~ Sheryl ~ Leave a comment

I picked up grandma’s egg basket, added my new embroidery book and a fresh piece of fabric secured in a small hoop and came outside for my daily dose of coffee, nature watching and blogging. Knitting Progress? It may be hard to tell from this photo, but my hat is noticeably smaller than last week. … Continue reading Going Backward, But Moving Forward

Four More Weeks

October 6, 2020October 8, 2020 ~ Sheryl ~ 1 Comment

Warning: Political opinion ahead. Since this is my blog it may be the last place my conservative opinion will be allowed to become public. I post this with trepidation. I do not do debate well. My brain freezes and any logical line of thinking evaporates like the morning dew and I am left staring, as … Continue reading Four More Weeks
