Finally finished this project detailing the last 50 years of snowfall in our area. Check out my blog post to see all the steps involved in getting it out of my head and onto the fabric: alyxvaisey.com/2025/02/27/f...

New post all about my 2025 Bingo card and how it's going. Check it out at the blog. alyxvaisey.com/2025/02/10/m...
BONUS - if get to the end, take a poll and help me decide what to blog about next!

As I start turning off the lights on my Meta apps, and I'm still not enamored with BlueSky, I've decided to create my a place where you can follow along with my adventures. My new blog can be found here:

Hope to see you over there.

15 years was a long time, but it didn't feel like enough. Unfortunately, the bad days finally outweighed the good ones, and it felt like my hiking partner and cuddle buddy wasn't living the life she deserved anymore. She was always a good girl, even when she was being mischievous...

Get you a friend that will randomly take amazing onion ring portraits of the gang. Dee, you are legend.

Started working on this embroidery of Horseshoe Bend today, while at least 4 other half-finished crafting projects looked on in disgust.

Apparently, I should have sacrificed something to the traffic gods before I set out this morning.

9.5 hours of driving and 2 miles of hiking planned for the day. Fingers crossed I don't hit too much traffic.

Did about 500 miles today. NY was snowy and wet. PA was better. Maryland and Virginia can keep their traffic to themselves, thank you very much. If all goes to plan, first National Park will be tomorrow!

And so it begins. 3,200+ miles, 12 days, 8 states, 6 hotel stays, 4 national parks, 3 hard rock cafes, and 1 ferry. Solo. Will be posting lots of updates so the loved ones at home know I'm safe.
