Well, bags, I don’t know about the fun. On a Sunday afternoon break from show prep in the studio we walked downtown with our mocha’s and wandered into Dollarama with which my husband has become enamoured. Now, I love dollar stores and moving out of Toronto 11 years ago dragged me away from some really…
Tripping over stacks of coned yarn on the floor, making my way back and forth from the computer keyboard to the printer printing out patterns or shows list to give out in my booth I come across lovely ‘stuff’ I accumulate. This bookmark was sent to me be my friend Deirdre, she made it, she…
Weather above zero, cold almost over, energy sorta back so I ventured forth for a power walk before locking myself in the studio…… look what I found!!! Snowdrops in the sunshine!!!…..and not the ones that melt on your tongue. There were tons of them in many front gardens along my route… very uplifting!!!

Yipeeeee! What a wonderful Spring Sunday yesterday, my other half and I spent the day working in the studio (me, getting ready for the Spring shows), wiring up the house for our new broadband and reaching out an upstairs window to try to shift the sheet of snow and ice on the studio roof before…
Aaaaaarrrgh! I’m writing my first pattern for the knitting machine to be published in the Summer issue of Knitwords and with the guidance of publisher Mary Anne Oger and a pile of back issues. It’s a struggle!!! I was never really good at Math and aside from totting up when waitressing and working with my…
What do you get when you invite a friend to your house who is building a home? Brownies tied up with some of the cord they used to haul something up to a second floor. I did ask if they needed it back…. did what they have left still reach the ground? They assured me…
Just a quickie. I went from a beautiful sunrise just as I boarded the Dash 8 in Palm Springs, I got to watch the sun come up from behind the mountains…. to deicing in Washington. The bright light from above is the man with the ice scraper!
