Hey friends, sorry to pop in only for an emergency, but Gwendolen (our tuxedo cat) just ate a piece of yarn, so we’re at the emergency vet to induce vomiting. We are SO CAREFUL about getting rid of stray yarn and I feel awful that she still found a piece.

Today is the day when I tackle the gigantic mess the cats made a while ago—I heard a tremendous crash followed by the scampering of little cat feet racing from the scene. Sure enough, they toppled my bin of Christmas ornaments, which are now mixed in with 10yo’s Legos. Wish me luck 🥴

I’ve posted some of these, but I realized I’ve been slowly building a collection of small landscapes over the past few months, and I can’t wait to make more! If any of these speak to you, let me know! I can also make custom pieces—this size is $65, $75 with texture details or stitching. 6” x 10”.

A woven wall hanging on a wooden dowel depicting a sunset over a willow tree at the edge of a lake. The “leaves” of the willow tree are textured yarn that extends out from the weaving.

A woven wall hanging on a wooden dowel depicting a large puffy sunset cloud in shades of deep pink, peach, and yellow over an ocean in shades of teal and blue.

A woven wall hanging on a wooden dowel depicting a dirt road through green hills. The bright green hills in the foreground are covered with stitched blue flowers meant to resemble bluebonnets.

Happy Caturday, these gremlins were smacking each other two seconds before I took this

Y’all, re-learning to skate as an adult is hard as hell but there’s nobody I’d rather go skating with!!

In the middle of working on my highland cow, the bluebonnets started coming out in Texas, and I had to make at least one (maybe more?) piece to commemorate the moment! Hill Country Bluebonnets, 6” wide x 10” long, on a 9” dowel. $75 + shipping!

I was looking for a picture from last summer and found this one of SLINKY SKINNY babbie Gwendolen. This is mostly for @pnwcori.bsky.social because here Gwen is, yet again, looking only vaguely like the general idea of a cat, or maybe a ferret.

Who’s got a win to share? Big or small! And really there are no small wins—they’re all significant. “Got out of bed” is a win. “Let myself get more rest” is a win! Today I am letting myself rest because yesterday a friend helped me organize my disaster of a closet. I’m so relieved and SO tired 😂

A walk-in closet with yarn in hanging organizers and drawered shelves on the left and clothes hanging on the right. Lots of things are stored on the top shelves, from wooden weaving looms to rolls of cotton string to bags of Goodwill clothes to an old computer bag.

There is no “before” picture because I didn’t want documentation of how bad it was!

Finally finished this scene from the first chapter of The Silver Chair! I got intimidated by the trees months ago but last night I picked it up again & figured it out! This is inspired by the view Jill and Eustace had when the door in the stone wall at Experiment House opened onto Aslan’s Country.

Oh just thinking about how my Christian summer camp changed the words in The Lion Sleeps Tonight to The Lion CREEPS Tonight to remind us that “the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour,” as if that wasn’t an absolutely BONKERS thing to get ten-year-olds to sing about

Anybody else got traumaversaries this week/month? 9yo turns ten on Thursday 😱😭🥹 and I’ve got a big traumaversary on Friday. This week is always a tricky balance between celebrating my sweet boy and being gentle with myself if my body is more limited than I’d like. I’m trying to be prepared,

Sarah Doyle Cozart @sarahecozart.bsky.social · 28/02/2026

Okay y’all, I tried something new yesterday and this Muppet-ish willow tree piece is the result! I love using the textures of the fibers to add interest to landscapes, but this one also kinda makes me laugh 😂

My 9yo and I do a bit where if one of the cats is scurrying off on an Important Mission, we ask if they’re late for work. “Can’t talk, got a board meeting in 5 and my presentation isn’t finished!”— Gwendolen as she races across the room and flings herself headfirst into the (closed) window

Lessons haven’t started yet but I went skating with 9yo today! Didn’t take my phone on the ice so you’ll just have to trust that I did skate 😂 I used the “skate helper” box because my balance was awful without it but as soon as I got going WITH it, it all came back and skating felt natural!

I’d been meaning to organize my bookshelves, but maybe in a slightly less chaotic manner

Y’all, I decided to sign up for adult beginner skating lessons. 9yo is gonna be taking a second session after this one is over, and the adult class is at the same time as his lessons. Remember how last year I was in two walking boots?? I’ve been working on getting stronger to be able to skate—

This is the 4th anniversary of the day I started weaving. I’m currently working on my most daunting piece yet—one from this scene in The Two Towers. I don’t feel like I’m good enough to capture Eowyn, but I’ve learned so much since my very first piece (third photo)—maybe, maybe I can do it.

A scene from The Two Towers, where Eowyn, in a white dress, stands on the stone “porch” of the Golden Hall, looking over the town and at the landscape beyond.

A woven wall hanging still on the loom, an interpretation of the scene from the first photo. Finished are the stone porch, the houses with thatched roofs, and the background for the town (I’ll add details with stitching). Beyond it is the landscape of fields and a river, with a green foothill rising on the right.

A very abstract mountain scene in a woven wall hanging. Green fringe hangs from the bottom, mountains in shades of green and blue are above it and a sunset in vivid colors of yellow, mauve, blue, and rose is above that.

I finished this sweet little cottage the other day. It makes me think of summer! This one is available—6” wide by 10” long, $65 + shipping.

A woven wall hanging on a wooden dowel. It depicts a white cottage with a brown door, sitting on a grassy hill with a red dirt path leading to it. There are several textural tufts of grass in the foreground. A tree stands next to the cottage, and behind it is a sunset in a gradient of pale yellow, light orange, rose, an blue.

When @atinsman.bsky.social reached out about commissioning a piece for Erin, I was THRILLED. To weave a piece for a dear friend, a Blue Ridge Mountains piece at that? Of the mountains of my heart that have become more dear to me since moving away, even more dear since Erin now loves them too?? 😭😭 ➡️

Sarah Doyle Cozart @sarahecozart.bsky.social · 05/01/2026

NY resolution: get back on ice skates. Taking my 9yo & his friend skating today and I am DYING that I can’t join him. Today both Achilles are acting up and I don’t think I’m strong enough to skate without injury. But SOON. I’ll do all my PT exercises every day if it means I can skate with my son!

Our church gave out Star Words today—cards with different words on them to guide our year, the way the Star guided the Magi. The word I got was INNOVATE. Initially, I scowled, because that sounds very LinkedIn 😂 but I’m now thinking of it as Doing Things In A New Way, and I CAN make sense of that!

I’m very pleased to introduce you to my new butler, Miss Gwenny Penny. She’s a little new to the job and still getting the hang of things, like what to do with her hands, not staring creepily into space, things of that nature.

“Horns, horns, horns. In dark Mindolluin’s sides they dimly echoed. Great horns of the North wildly blowing. Rohan had come at last.” “Arise, arise, Riders of Théoden! Fell deeds awake: fire and slaughter! Spear shall be shaken, shield be splintered, a sword-day, a red day, ere the sun rises!”

A woven wall hanging showing a dark blue cloudy sky on the right and top, with yellow clouds below and to the left. The silhouettes of an army are shown on top of a ridge. Bellow them is an open plain, woven of various colors meant to represent winter grass. Below the weaving hangs a ribbon fringe made of silk, cotton, silk velvet, wool, and handspun wool blends, in colors of deep blue, forest green, various shades of brown, deep red, warm orange, and golden yellow.

A closeup of the silhouetted riders, made using brown stitching.

A closeup of the ribbon fringe. Since I am not skilled at weaving people and animals, this fringe represents the banners, armor, cloaks, and horses of the Rohirrim. The colors are taken from the banners in the Golden Hall of Meduseld, as well as chosen to represent the chestnut and bay horses in the cavalry.

I’m helping my dad get presents for my mom this year. I’m going to frame a few photos for her, but other than the small kitchen items she asked for, I’m stumped. What have y’all gotten your moms that they really enjoyed? Reference: she’s 78, cooks a lot, sings in the church choir, is from Vermont.

I’m really bummed that instead of baking several pies (my usual Thanksgiving contribution, and often some sort of Brussels sprouts and/or roasted maple green beans/bacon situation), I’m barely able to get out of bed due to pain and fatigue. I love baking and cooking but I literally can’t right now.
