Mel’s Monday Musings: September 30, 2019

September 30, 2019September 30, 2019 ~ melstery

Something feels wrong --  I don't know what it is, but something is off. Don't you hate that feeling? The world just seems to be spinning off-kilter somehow; there's a discordant note in the song somewhere. (There's a lot that's wrong if you look at politics and world issues, I know...it's easy to write it … Continue reading Mel’s Monday Musings: September 30, 2019

Mel’s Monday Musings: September 23, 2019

September 23, 2019September 23, 2019 ~ melstery ~ 3 Comments

Well, here we are at the end of another Monday. 🙂 How are y'all? Fall is always a busy time of year for us (the kids have their annual checkups, school is in full swing, and I'm currently trying to get my art stuff off the ground, so I've got craft shows and projects galore … Continue reading Mel’s Monday Musings: September 23, 2019

Mel’s Monday Musings: September 16, 2019

September 16, 2019September 16, 2019 ~ melstery

Hi! How's the week starting off for you? Anything interesting going on? It's been a bit quiet here thus far, and I don't mind a bit. I have to file my first quarterly tax return by Friday, so am planning on doing that tomorrow. Fun! :-p I made entirely too much inventory for the craft … Continue reading Mel’s Monday Musings: September 16, 2019

Mel’s Monday Musings: September 9, 2019

September 9, 2019September 9, 2019 ~ melstery

Hi, y'all! This Monday has just about gotten away from me. How's it going? Fall is definitely in the air here, at least in the evenings. I love it! It's so natural, this gradual darkening and deepening toward winter. It's supposed to be warm-ish most of the week in the afternoons, but I know that … Continue reading Mel’s Monday Musings: September 9, 2019

Mel’s Monday Musings: September 2, 2019

September 2, 2019September 2, 2019 ~ melstery

Hi, y'all. 🙂  How's it going? It's been a busy week here, as we're down to the last days before school starts. I'm trying to work out the wake-everyone-up schedule to maximize sleep but minimize the hassle of getting three kids out the door. Two of mine will ride the same bus, even though they … Continue reading Mel’s Monday Musings: September 2, 2019

Alright, let's talk about that craft show. I was stunned by how poorly I did this weekend. I didn't expect to sell out or anything, but I didn't even make my booth fee back! Yes, they say you have to have/spend money to make money, but we're not the kind of folks with money to … Continue reading Mel’s Monday Musings: August 26, 2019

Hi, y'all! What's on your mind tonight? Stuff is getting real with the craft show; it's this coming weekend! Setup is Friday afternoon, and then Saturday from 9-5 and Sunday from 9-3 it's "showtime." (Kind of a big deal for this introvert...I really hope I can be "on" for everyone. I love the stuff I … Continue reading Mel’s Monday Musings: August 19, 2019

Hi, y'all! It's been a nice day here; hope you can say the same! Any day that starts out with time on (or in) the water is good by me. We went on a boat tour today, on the St. Lawrence River. It's gorgeous. (That's a castle through those trees!) And now I'm happily mid-chainmaille … Continue reading Mel’s Monday Musings: August 12, 2019

Mel’s Monday Musings: August 5, 2019

August 5, 2019August 5, 2019 ~ melstery

Hiiii, August! 🙂 I love August (and Lughnasadh; hope everyone who celebrates had a lovely one!) because it really starts to feel like the year is on the wane, even if not weather-wise just yet. July is still so "high summer" in my head that it doesn't feel real yet. I've always been a fan … Continue reading Mel’s Monday Musings: August 5, 2019

July 29, 2019July 29, 2019 ~ melstery

Hi! Big changes are afoot for me this week. On Saturday, I had my annual eye exam. No major changes in my Rx (enough that I need new glasses, as per usual, but my nearsightedness is slightly less terrible -- apparently that can happen in your 30s. I'll take it!)...but I have to go back … Continue reading Mel’s Monday Musings: July 29, 2019

Do you see the groundhog tracks? 😁 One of my fave parts of winter here is the visible evidence of the creatures with whom we share the space.
The Christmas (Thanksgiving, actually, but I digress) cactus I bought this past weekend is already blooming! My other (younger) one is heavily budded. So pretty (even if the buds do at times look, um, inappropriate, heh).
Follow @wanderingbloomart to keep up with my various projects (I'll try to keep it updated at least weekly)! Today I'm working on getting a few beaded snowflakes uploaded to Etsy. I'll share more about my process and inspiration on that account, so I can keep this one personal. It's really coming down out there today! #snowinglikecrazy #NNY #wintercameearly
