Brief Update

I am still settling into my new home in Forgotten Sea/Cum An Iolair at the moment. My health has also been… let us say precarious of late, but that’s an article unto itself. Once I have regained energy and found control over what time I can be upright (which may not be until December), I

Ladye of the House: an “easy” day as a stay at home mother.

The good news is that today is blocked to be free of specific chores outside of daily maintenance. My floors and bathrooms are clean and my shelves don’t need dusted. I could clean the ceiling fans, but that would involve some height and I don’t think my Lord Husband would be too happy with me

The Random Ramblings of a Lady Mother: Cleaning, Nesting, Decluttering, and Hygge

I don’t have to do chores today!  Tuesday’s and Fridays are the days I have blocked for dusting and cleaning bathrooms, but since I decluttered, my house doesn’t need to be dusted as often and extenuating circumstances resulted in me cleaning bathrooms over the weekend.

And knyttes more…

As I wrote about in my earlier post, this week has been a kind of sabbatical from sewing while I learn to knit all the things. Since my last post on Friday night, I have made… A second sock that wasn’t so identical to the first after all. (I ran out of yarn and didn’t

My Lady’s Guide to Housekeeping

Welcome, friends! Let’s take a tour of my home!   (As you  can see, my kitchen is a little messy because I’m in the middle of a couple of sewing projects.) No, my own lady mother isn’t coming for a visit (if she were, it’d be much cleaner!), nor am I hosting a sewing night.
