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 [...]

Hey all – long time no write! Summer sucked me in and spit me back out again – I can’t believe September is already here – packing lunches and homework again. Neither of these two activities rates high on my list of favourties due to the amount of knitting time lost during a [...]
I am…well…ridiculously wrecked. See the date? That is the day I uploaded the photos to blogger…as opposed to TODAY which is the 18th of August.
The new job is kicking me in the rear. I can’t explain why. It isn’t far off what I was doing before…just…more.
Anyway – here is the loveliest [...]

(insert usual bloggy excuses for lameness of recent blogs, lack of updating and general laziness. Done? Good…let’s move on…)
First up…recent acquisitions and mergers!
First of all, there was a serious destashing that involved handing off some really yummy yarn I knew I’d never get around to knitting, or it was really nice stuff [...]

I may have joined the dark side.
Well kind of. I spent my weekend teaching myself to crochet. Here’s the thing. I love to crochet – its fast and satisfying. I can finish a dishcloth in under an hour.

Want proof of Elizabeth’s goodness? For one thing, she proved that in Nova Scotia, the coffee rocks…
As a point of information – the [...]

…goes to the blogless Elizabeth in Syndey N.S.!!! Since Elizabeth is my delightful Coffee Swap partner she will be getting a grand package indeed!!!
Thanks to everyone who entered – not just for taking a chance but also for sticking around to read my ramblings and respond to my rants. It has been a wonderful year [...]
Apparently I can’t resist a good swap – add caffeine and I’d pretty much sell my firstborn to participate!
1. Whole bean or ground? Ground please!
2. Fully-loaded or decaf? Either is terrific – not a big fan of bold coffees though
3. Regular or flavored? I love flavoured coffee…unfortunately it doesn’t like me. Guaranteed unhappy tummy if [...]
Yep – I joined Secret Pal 10…mostly cause I like to get mail that isn’t a bill or flyer and cause its fun to buy stuff for people that could make them happy.
1. What is/are your favorite yarn/s to knit with? What fibers do you absolutely *not* like?
Soft merinos, silk, alpaca…nothing scratchy (mohairs) — soft [...]
I went kinda nuts with the camera this morning in preparation for el gigantico blog post about everything and my dog (okay I don’t have a dog so my three cats…2 1/2 really but more on that later). But first…some blog sustenance to energize the creative mind required to entertain all five or six of [...]
