As usual, I hope this finds you well and in good spirits. Thank you all for your feedback and insight on my last post. I hope to make more vlogs which include activities associated with my lifestyle in the future. This edition is a little more traditional show and tell and includes stitching, quilting (yikes! I know) knitting and art journaling.

I want to send out a special thank you to the Patrons of the podcast. I am so appreciative of your contribution. If you’d like to become a patron learn more Become a Patron!

Be well and many fond wishes,

Sarah

Hello!

I am just back to work after a long, February break. Yeeesh…re-entry is hard! I cobbled together some footage of a couple skis I took to share with you as well as some stitching.

Episode 91: Spinning Dimensions

Hello!

Well, yes, there is more ice…I so wish I had the footage of the eagles this time as I had a very close encounter but alas my cinematic skills were not up to par. I hope you’ve been enjoying all that your season has to offer. You’ll find in the vlog a mix of knitting, spinning and stitching. I try to talk about the laws of thermodynamics and spinning but don’t worry no alternate dimensions are achieved;) I hope this finds you well and, as always, thank you from the bottom of my heart for tuning in!

Episode 90: Ice & Eagles

Hello & Happy New Year!

I’ve dabbled a bit more in editing and filmography. I am enjoying this piece of the process and I hope my amateur skills add a little extra zing.

In this episode be prepared for LOTS of bird footage. As the title implies, there is a lot of ice and eagles. I enjoyed gathering little vignettes of my time over the holidays. I wonder what the next couple of weeks will bring now that I am back in school. I’ve brought my camera down south to my parents to capture some time with the sheep and maybe even my riding lesson!

I also awkwardly announce a Patreon page. You’ll see the link below the post if this is of interest to you. All the content remains free and charges will be on a per episode basis not to exceed two posts per month. Additional content will be posted here should I choose to add any additional episodes or enrichment. All the same, a heartfelt thank you for all support.

Episode 88: Moose & Bear Talk

Hello Friends,

I’ve added some elements this time round as I get more familiar with editing on iMovie. I am by no means a cinematographer or film specialist, but I had some fun adding music and other segments. The initial part features a hike I take with Ruby regularly and some scenery from around our house in the woods. I share a few funny stories of bear adventures and reminisce a bit about my old dogs, Fern, Coe and Bella. There is, of course, knitting and stitching at the end. I hope this finds you well and in good spirits. Thank you for your support of the vlog and all your comments and insights.

Fondly, Sarah
