No kidding?

A collective groan is heard across the universe: Not quite as clever a headline as you’d see on fark, but almost.

Viva la V.V.!

By in a good day, Art!, Griping

I know, it’s been a long time since I blogged about the greatest store on earth, Value Village. To be honest, not much has changed there and I rarely go any more. I trickled over today to look for plaques, like, award plaques for a project I’m working on and to do some donating. The […]

Live free or die, indeed

By in daily grind

There’s been a lot of excitement in the city I live in, Toronto, over the weekend. I’d largely ignored most of the G20 hype until Saturday night when friends started posting comments on facebook, angry with the destruction of businesses and police cars. By Sunday a lot of that anger was redirected towards the police […]

Done!

By in babies, clothes, crochet, making stuff is good

I decided to go with no sleeves-after knitting half of one-because it’s a hot summer already and this sweater will only fit for about 5 more minutes. I just need to weave in about 800 ends and it will be ready for wrapping paper. Next baby gets this sweater.  Or this dress. And obviously it […]

By in Art!, crochet, making stuff is good

Babies

By in babies

Newbie

By in Uncategorized

Such a teeny little muffin, I was instantly in love. Of course she didn’t cry and she didn’t poop. That makes for a good baby visit in my books. You can tell by the bulging vein on my forehead that I am completely chuffed.  I can not WAIT to be on shower duty (as in, […]

R to the izzOM

By in we have fun

Ari and I had a girl’s afternoon out on Saturday. We took the subway (which is still a treat to her) to ROM, using our family pass. It’s worth every penny, if you ask me, I can take 2 kids and it’s free. Ish. Did you know how much I love taxidermy? It’s true, I […]
