Brr.

By in kitty

As I already told Laura, I am having an all-choked-up sort of day and these 2 fellows patiently waiting their master inside the grocery store really captured my mood. The lighter coloured dog has a funny sort of lumpy head that at first I thought was snow piling up. It’s -6C here, pretty chilly. They […]

Impending health

By in food

In an effort to be healthier, I’ve switched up my normal diet. Of course, I’ve become addicted to this meal and eat it daily. Well, as far as I can tell, there’s nothing bad in it. It’s a baked sweet potato with a mixed green salad dumped on top, with a lemon juice, olive oil, […]

My newest favourite word

By in Uncategorized

Vagoo. It just sounds funny. And it’s a pretty darn funny thing to spray paint on a building. This is the building formerly known as The Big Bop, corner of Queen St W and Bathurst.

PSA

By in clothes, Griping

When I worked at Value Village my parents were dismayed to find out that the store does not wash anything before it’s put out on the floor for sale. “How come it all smells the same, then?” Asked my dad. Because when your stink mixes with thousands of different people’s stink, it all becomes one […]

I took these on my walk home from Dufferin Mall today. I tried to take a picture of an hilarious hipster but missed him by inches so I turned my camera to myself instead. I’m almost as hip, with my Gap for Kids sunglasses, right? It’s better blown up, if you click it you can […]

Happy family

By in kitty, love

I love that I got all three of the girls in one picture. They were all chilling out together last night and the camera flash didn’t seem to bother them at all. Unlike the red laser pointer that makes them all go crazy. Sorry about that. I told the women at my (last) quilting class […]

Productivity is up 17%

By in Art!, crochet, making stuff is good, work

I had such a busy day, I’ve completely sewn the top of the new baby quilt I started-get this-yesterday. No, I won’t post a picture of it yet, it’s a surprise gift for a friend who’s pregnant and if she can wait, so can the rest of the universe. In lieu, here’s a picture of […]

And on the table. These arrived this morning from my valentine. Nothing like cut flowers!

Stuff.

By in a good day, crochet

I went shopping today because I needed a new self-healing cutting mat to slice up fabric for a new quilt I am working on. I wound up buying more stuff than expected-a set of sheets for our bed for example-but I also came home with three cutting mats instead of one. Oops. Whoever was stocking […]

Tradition!

By in a good day, babies, we have fun

As it goes every year, I made my way back to Windsor on Superbowl weekend. It’s a good way to reconnect with my Windsor girls, I love them all so much and miss them like crazy during the rest of the year. The weekend was spent largely getting to know Ruby who’s 15 months old […]
