Overdyed shirt

Further Adventures in Domesticity

Leave a Comment / At Home, DIY / Megan

This very light blue shirt had an unfortunate encounter with a darker jacket the very first time I washed it. (I was so mad!) I’d been sitting on it for a while when it occurred to me I could overdye it. I certainly wasn’t going to ruin it anymore than it’s already been ruined. I […]

Magic Triumphs – Ilona Andrews

Leave a Comment / At Home, Reading / Megan

I finished a series! (Ok, fine, they ended up extending this series, so there’s more to read, but I finished a unit of published books, which is a big deal for me!) The book starts with the birth of Kate and Curran’s son Conlan, and jumps ahead to him being a very precocious toddler, which

Leave a Comment / At Home, Reading / Megan

I ended up getting the Miles in Love omnibus even though I own Komarr on its own, just for the simplicity of getting Winterfair Gifts in the bargain. I loved A Civil Campaign. I adore Ekaterin, and Miles completely floundering about like an idiot when he finally finds the woman for him was adorable. I

Piccolo Pyrus Cowl - unblocked

Knitting Notes

Leave a Comment / At Home, Knitting / Megan

The Piccolo Pyrus cowl is done. It’ll definitely benefit from some blocking, so this isn’t the final post, but I can at least count the yarn towards my August stash busting totals.

Surf from Hurricane Erin at Two Lights State Park

Two Lights State Park – Cape Elizabeth, ME

Leave a Comment / Maine / Megan

The remnants of hurricane Erin passed offshore this week – these pictures are about two hours before high tide. She’s no longer a hurricane, and is hundreds of miles away at this point, but still pretty impressive. We could feel the spray up on the path.
