Happy customer

By in a good day, making stuff is good

I hadn’t sold something in a long time and I had forgotten how happy it makes me. Here’s Gaz who bought the brown dickey I made mostly while flying to Mexico. He says “I knew it would be warm and comfy, but not THAT much. Its awesome :)” Well, kind words always make me feel […]

Everyone loves a good shit story, right?

By in making stuff is good

It’s true. I have a story about shit that happened the other day, but seeing as a)I survived b)did NOT poop my pants, there isn’t much to tell. Anyway, have I mentioned lately that I like to crochet? Ah, it’s winter, I can hardly help myself. I can talk about that or I can talk […]

Embroidery

By in Art!, making stuff is good

Here are some samples of embroidery I did some time around 2002, I think, but maybe earlier. I was going to make an entire Simpsons themed quilt, but using the lesser known characters that carry the episodes. The only three I made (and one isn’t finished) are Sherri and Terri, Wendell and Uter. I had […]

SMRT

By in a good day

I get the Toronto Star on Sunday every week just to do the crossword. It’s a good because it’s hard but not impossible. Most weeks I fill in about two thirds of the clues and feel pretty good about it. This week I finished the ENTIRE crossword! In one day, heck, in less than 12 […]

Workin’ out

By in a good day, work

My boss and I have agreed to go to the gym 3 days a week. She works at a community centre, so we get to go for free during off hours (when the weight room is closed). It’s great and way less embarrassing  than with an audience (although I think some people prefer it that […]

Delayed Xmas

By in haha, we have fun

I spent Sunday afternoon at my mom’s house. Because we were away for the holidays, January 10th was the agreed upon date. Due to unforeseen illness, I wound up traveling alone on the bus. My mom not only has great friends, she’s a great chef, and it was a fun day. The cake: My family, […]

Goose X-ing

By in a good day, haha, making stuff is good

Yesterday on my walk to the subway I saw an enormous flock of geese who seemed to be taking a break from their migration route. Conservatively, I would guess at least 200 of them. I am not a huge fan of geese (they would take over the pond at my grandparent’s cottage every year and […]

For Sale

By in making stuff is good

Our vacation was about relaxation (amongst other things) and I brought crochet hooks and yarn with me to work on some projects. Believe it or not, that IS relaxing for me. Mindless repetition, ya know? So now I have a few things to off load: 3 Dickeys (and another is a work in progress). The […]
