Last year we left off getting a pumpkin until the last minute. And then we couldn’t find one if our lives depended on it, and even the faux Pumpkins at Michael’s Crafts were gone, and I was a very sad lady. Why? Because I like to carve pumpkins. To the point where, after gutting the […]
Happy Thanksgiving to those of you in Canada (and happy Impending Thanksgiving to those of you who are south of the border). For those of you not celebrating the harvest season with some sort of poultry product, go ahead and do so. I won’t tell! I’m working on the holiday, so on Friday, Robin and […]
There’s a steak in the oven, and a salad to be put together, and then…time for a nice dinner. I’m thinking brie and crackers for dessert. The dessert is an indulgence, but indulgence is allright today. Today is our anniversary. Sometime around the 20th of September, 2002, Robin and I officially became a couple. I […]
We’ve been having all kinds of weird weather lately. Everything from sunny & hot to stormy with hail. This is what I drove home in this evening. I have to admit, I had a bit of a blast plowing through all the water that was gathering on the road! We had ourselves a bit of […]
One of the ways we like to celebrate birthdays in our household is to take time off. My birthday, in February, was made more interesting by a case of Shingles. Luckily, Robin’s birthday has been eventful in ways that are more entertaining and include 100% less hospital visits. We have had a great week so […]
Day One: 28th March. A Tale of Two Yarns. Part of any fibre enthusiast’s hobby is an appreciation of yarn. Choose two yarns that you have either used, are in your stash or which you yearn after and capture what it is you love or loathe about them. Tips: It is a good idea, if […]
Just a simple picture. I surprised the husbeast with a couple of cute mugs from Teh eVil Coffee Empire. And yes, that is a “Holey” cow in the background (my folks dropped by with my annual birthday cheesecake, totally derailing my diet amidst beverages and excellent conversation) I love all you folks. Enjoy the spirit […]
As I alluded a couple of days ago, there was a birthday in the household recently. Actually, there were two (kinda). I would have posted something up on the actual date, but things were a little out-of-the-ordinary around here. Last weekend we had a weather warning for heavy snowfall, so I had headed out to […]
I can’t believe how fast this year has gone by, and all the things that have happened between then and now. It seems yesterday I was waking up on January 1st, and now I’m putting the capper on another year. I decided to put together a little photo-mosaic of all the really nice shots I’ve […]
Not Cushion! Domo is guarding tree! This is what I woke up to yesterday morning. Hope your tree guardian was just as effective 🙂
