2018 in Review: Handwork

Rose Hat: Hannah's and my first test knitting of a new pattern for Reywa Fibers.

My Work Basket

I completed a luxurious merino wool shawl which is now reserved for special days.

Knitting, product photo shoots, and maintaining our Etsy shop fill our spare minutes.

2018 In Review: Special Occasions

2018 went by in a whirl leaving me with little time to blog. Today I sorted through the year's photos and found some treasured moments to share. Enjoy a peak back into 2018 in the life of our family! (Note: Some special events are missing below either because they have already been posted or the photographer forgot she was on duty.)

May 26 - Hannah's Birthday
Celebrated at a local state park on an unseasonably hot day. A delightful, laid back break from the usual routine to celebrate our special Hannah.






May 27 - Hannah's Birthday Observed
Our full family celebration.


June 29 - Dad's Birthday
Spent on the road picking up our new, bitty camper (at least it is tiny when you put four adults in it) and enjoying a distant view of our beloved Lake Superior. 


July 1 - Dad's Birthday Observed
Again, the full family version of the above special event. One can never have too many birthday parties. 


July 4 - Annual Family Gathering at the Lake 


July 24 - Dad and Mom's Anniversary
Grateful for a "1" added to their forty years together. 

August 18 - Megan and Dean's Wedding Reception
We claim Megan as a sister. It was a delight to spend time with this special couple. 

October 29 - Mom's Birthday 


December 17 - My Birthday
