A year of hobbies that come and go
I’m Marguerite. I taught small children for thirty-six years, and now I garden, knit, keep a journal, walk the dog and film a little of each. Read my posts, get my printables, or take my journal course.

This month
What's on the front burner this month, from the garden to the shoebox of old cards.
Putting the garden to bed for winter
Cutting back the roses, covering the beds and the one job I always forget.
Christmas scarves, started in October
Why the knitting comes back every autumn, and the simple pattern I give the grandchildren.
Forty years of cards in one shoebox
Every card my old classes made me, and what I'm doing with them now.

Back Burner
One letter a month on what's on the front burner, what's on the back and what's coming back.
