Prepping for back to school as best as I can with what little info I have so far...The youngest has declared Virtual school is where its at for him regardless of what plan goes into place for our district. As soon as it became an option he begged for virtual (which I was totally going to do anyways but I was glad to see him excited about it.) He still gets to virtually meet up with his teachers and friends and if and when we feel like it's safe to head back to F2F his seat is saved and he can go back to school and I'm good with that. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiymR_Kj81RoMkboKivnT2MUtqWxys8EZrFa86efvAKgd057k3F6VEKeda4dLN4OGkcNXXQnFueUI3LPK0ccpG_lMWC0UdCOBYF0aE9Ddg8YI_9b8QnFri0gehzSWUoMk7-5te2/s2048/2144E091-7800-4974-95D3-342FCAF93CA6.heic" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="2048" height="512" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiymR_Kj81RoMkboKivnT2MUtqWxys8EZrFa86efvAKgd057k3F6VEKeda4dLN4OGkcNXXQnFueUI3LPK0ccpG_lMWC0UdCOBYF0aE9Ddg8YI_9b8QnFri0gehzSWUoMk7-5te2/w512-h512/2144E091-7800-4974-95D3-342FCAF93CA6.heic" width="512" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">So off I went to my favorite quarantine shopping spot...amazon.

My sister bought me this Harry Potter knitting book for my birthday and it's truly a gorgeous book with great patterns, beautiful photography and pure joy to flip through. I'm feeling twitchy to cast on a bunch of new things because I can't decide on just one but I'm trying to wrap up some current works in progress first.</div>

Sue Monk Kidd has always been a favorite of mine but I honestly wasn't too sure about the subject matter of her newest book, The Book Of Longings. Boy am I glad I jumped right in and went for it. This book had me reading feverishly. I highlighted, underlined, wrote in the margins, sticky notes, marked up pages etc all over this one. It was such an incredible story and it's still lingering in my thoughts. </div>

I didn't know who Kevin Wilson was but I saw this book mentioned on instagram at some point and then saw it pop up as one of my Book of the Month Club selections so I chose it and now I want to read anything and everything he writes. This book was such a unique, funny, weird (but in a good way!) story and I LOVED every minute of it! </div>

Still on my mystery/suspense/thriller kick I tend to read multiple books at once (but not like literally at once duh lol!) and this one was perfection for hooking me in and then blowing my mind with the twists. Can't wait to read the next one in the series!</div>

So just like most of the rest of the planet I've been hunkered down, safe at home with my family doing our part. Groceries get ordered online and then picked up curbside, homeschooling & mask wearing when we do need to leave the house, etc.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Our stay at home order has been letting up little by little BUT quite honestly it doesn't make much difference to me, I still plan to continue our new routine and practices because in reality it's worked out just fine. I'm grateful that we are safe, healthy and it's given us the time to slow down, practice better self care and even reevaluate how we live. On my end, I thought I was going to blog a ton but seriously the days have been flying by. Lots of cleaning and clearing out around the house, lots of reading (like A LOT) and lots of knitting and creating in the studio which has felt amazing! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We've gotten into our groove with homeschooling and turns out I actually enjoy it lol! Is it hard? Yes Some days are a struggle? sure! But we're getting it done and trying to make it fun and work for us. </div>

I've been on a Kerry Winfrey kick ever since I finished Waiting for Tom Hanks a few months ago. I adore her writing style. I love the humor and story lines she comes up with. I LOVE LOVE EXTRA LOVE all of her pop culture and 80's and 90's references. They're great reads that make you cheer for the main character and throw in some rom com into the mix. </div>

Hope you had a wonderful New Year and Holiday season! Ours was a busy one! Work holiday parties, family get togethers, kids sleepovers etc...I still managed to get studio time in and stock up my etsy shop and mail out orders (Thank you all for supporting handmade!) It feels good to be carving out time to create and making again! Here's a little taste of what's in the shop...<br />

The leaves are starting to change colors and fall and before we know it it'll be Thanksgiving. It always feels like Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas all run together so I'm trying to sloooooooow myself down and take time to really take it all in and enjoy the little things each season brings. </div>

What are some of your favorite things about Fall? Do you have any plans for handmade gifts? I'd LOVE to hear about it. Comment below! </div>

and I cast on and quickly made progress on a Ranunculus sweater, I'm just finishing up the sleeves. I've already tried it on and it's DEVINE! I used Mad Tosh halo glitter in her Stranger Things color way Barbara Deserved Better.

Spring is starting to feel like it's making its way to the Mitten. Sunnier days and slightly (SLIGHTLY lol) warmer days are happening. In between work, doing the mom thing and knitting I've also been working on some little progress keepers and stitch markers and stamping some charms I'll show you soon. I've even gotten some good reading in! </div>

I've come across the discussion of Blogs and Blogging over the past few months. So many people have stopped blogging and switched over to just social media. Some have switched to VLOGging like video blog using a Youtube channel. My kids keep trying to convince me to start "Youtubing" but I'm not even sure what all that entails or if I would feel comfortable sitting in front of a camera basically talking to myself lol! I know I definitely don't blog as often as I used to but I can't NOT blog. I LOVE my little bloggy inter web space. I've been here since 2004 and before that I used to just keep a long running page on my website going. For now I plan on continuing to blog here and to do it waaaaay more often than I have been. Instagram is also a favorite of mine and using their "stories" feature so if you'd like to follow me along and peep in on what I'm working on on more of a daily timeframe then IG is where you will find me :) @stargirljewelry</div>

another pair of wooly socks on the needles. I was using straights to swatch because its a heavier weight yarn and they are going to be a thicker house slipper sock. I've got one almost done already. I'll have to snap some pics as soon as I finish up. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For those wondering: I knit all my socks toe up, in the round using circular needles magic loop method and German short rows to turn the heel. 2x2 ribbing for the cuff. </div>

Noah's socks flew off my needles in like 5 days which is unheard of for me as I usually need a break by the time I finish one sock but this yarn was so much fun to work with and they fit perfectly and he LOVES them! and that makes so happy! Theres just something about knitting something for a "knit worthy" recipient that makes me happy. So I think I might have to knit him up some more! </div>

So there you have it! A super condense "Catch up" post :) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Blogging doesn't seem as popular anymore but I love it and love my little sharing space on the web so I don't think I'll ever stop blogging even if I am a slacker at it sometimes lol! You can find my daily happenings over on Instagram @stargirljewelry but my Life & Little Things posts will continue here on the blog :) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thanks for stopping by and catching up with me! Leave me a comment on what crafty things you are working on and what's new with you?! I'd love to hear from you!</div>

and this past weekend it was that time of year again where all us kids (and most of the grandkids) gather at my parents and whip up Cassateddi which are a traditional pastry type "cookie" but not really a cookie lol! I'm not totally sure how to describe them besides filled with goodness and deep-fried and rolled into a sugary cinnamon dumpling of diabetes lol! </div>
