Friends, welcome to my weekly newsletter! Each week, I’ll break down my activities, wins, and the hurdles I’ve crossed (or am still working on).
In my world, the week begins on Sunday and ends on Saturday, so let’s dive into what happened this week!
Daily Activities
- My routines remain steady, but I’ve successfully kept up with a clean kitchen before bedtime. To track this, I started putting $1 in a jar every evening. What will I do with this savings? Not sure yet—any ideas?
- I’m adding a new habit to this routine using habit stacking: starting tonight, I’ll also clear off the table (which often doubles as my desk).
- Errands & Chores: I went to the clinic for bloodwork ahead of next week’s doctor’s appointment. I also mailed a parcel of hand-dyed yarn, a spindle, and fiber to a friend.
Work & Projects

- Knitting: Made great progress on my second sock—one step closer to a finished pair
- Spinning: Still working on the brown fiber from Germany. Not sure what it will become yet—any suggestions?
- 100 Mile Life: Didn’t shop much this week, but I’ve taken another 100-mile step: limiting my intake of news to local sources. There’s too much happening in the world for me to process right now.
- Sourcing fiber-related tools—hoping to share more on this soon!

Social & Community
- Bible Study & Coffee Time was well attended and full of laughter and great conversations. A highlight of my week!
Learning & Reflection
- Reading: The Monastic Heart by Joan Chittister
- Watching:
- Queen Charlotte (Bridgerton) Netflix
- Call the Midwife CBC Gem
- The Great British Baking Show CBC Gem
- Daily Bullet Journal
That’s my week in a nutshell! What have you been up to? Let’s chat in the comments!
