BY A THREAD
Musings by a needlepointing mom, just hanging on.
Welcome to By a Thread
Hi friends!
If you're reading this, welcome—and thank you! Whether you've been following along with me for years or are stumbling upon By a Thread for the first time, I’m so happy you’re here. Writing has always felt like one of the most natural ways for me to connect, and this newsletter feels like the perfect space to share all those little musings and moments that don’t always make it into a full blog post.
Think of By a Thread as a cozy corner where we can chat about life—whether it’s what’s currently on my mind, something funny that happened the other day, or just what I’m up to lately. It’s casual, a bit off the cuff, and hopefully feels a little like catching up with a friend over coffee. ☕️
I’ve always believed that life is a series of threads—moments, ideas, feelings—that somehow weave together to make our days feel whole. Some days are perfectly sewn together, and others are more frayed at the edges. Either way, there’s always a story to tell, and this newsletter is where I’ll share mine.
I can’t wait to get started and hope you’ll enjoy reading as much as I’ll enjoy writing. I don’t have an exact plan just yet (which feels apropos of the stage of life I’m in right now as a mom of two young boys), but I can’t wait to see where this takes us.
