(tap tap tap…is this thing on?)
So…apparently I have a web site – the best kind of unexpected and wonderful surprise! I feel entirely invigorated to post but also completely tongue-tied and fairly certain no one is going to be reading it! Well, I know two people who will read it.
Wait, three.
So suddenly I have so much to do…pictures [...]

Massive picture-heavy post!
Happy Thanksgiving to my fellow Canadians today – I hope your day is full of turkey and family (for some) and sleep and rest (for the others). I personally spent last night sleeping at the hospital wired up to within an inch of my life for a sleep study to see if I’ve [...]

2. I have a new obsession – teddy bears. Specifically, teddy bears from Sandra Polley’s The Knitted Teddy Bear. I’ve looked everywhere for this book – and then FINALLY checked my library (love you library!). I can’t recommend this book enough. The best part [...]

So…the Very Important Thing finally happened! Did you feel it? Did the earth move for you about 2 pm on Valentine’s Day? Did your world change? Did everything seem somehow brighter and shinier?
No? Yeah. Me either.
So to celebrate – I have a few pics to share today – one FO and a nearly done sock.

I didn’t forget that I have a blog…promise! Its just work…and stuff. The kind of stuff that makes you get home at the end of the day and brushing teeth feels like a lot of work. That kind. And living on rice and pasta because if it has more than 2 ingredients and the dishes [...]

So I don’t generally do meme’s…but I couldn’t resist asking Leanne for a letter…and its an R. Ironically, I can think of a lot more R things that don’t apply than do. For example: right – as in right of centre or even correct most of the time. So in coming up with a list [...]
