Ball-wind-a-rama

By in crochet, we have fun

My new neighbour (and old room mate!) Kerrick is an avid knitter (and way WAY more of an expert at it than I!) and loaned me her ball winder so I could do some stash tidying… 40 balls later… Pretty, huh? I can’t tell you how much I enjoyed using that winder, I found it […]

Stained glass quilt

By in daily grind, making stuff is good

I hung my first quilt-the sampler-in my bedroom to block out early morning sunlight. It streams in and lands right on my sleeping face. The way it hits the quilt is so pretty. I used a vintage floral sheet for the backing of this quilt. There are a couple projects I am currently working on, […]

Veronica’s house

By in a good day, friends, love, we have fun

I spent about every other weekend at this house from the age of 4 through to about 14. It’s probably the most influential house of my entire life, more so than any house I ever lived in. This is the house I think of when I smell pancakes frying, use a white board, look at […]

Poor fishie

By in Griping, kitty

The pet store near work…sucks.  In the sense that ALL pet stores suck, they sell kitties that you could get free from a neighbour (or adopt at a shelter), puppies bred at puppy mills and lizards from who knows where. Not to mention exotic birds that have no business being in Canada (or a cage) […]

Baking

By in Uncategorized

I know it’s still a little early for this  type of baking (considering Ontario peaches are just on their way out!) but this recipe sounded so good that I couldn’t resist. Plus I had 3 over ripe bananas staring at me. I did not use nuts (EW! NUTS!) and I substituted plain yogurt for sour […]

Zig to the zag

By in Art!, making stuff is good

This took way less time and agony than usual. I don’t know if it’s because (most of) the fabrics I used were decent quality and all the same weight or if it was because I figured it out all on my own. I won’t go so far as to say I designed it, haha, that […]

A new student at Hogwarts?

By in a good day, haha

I got misdirected emails a long time ago, people who just guessed at their friend’s email address and wound up with me. I always tried to be polite and redirect them-or at least tell them to try something different. I got another one the other day and felt playful. Here is what I originally got […]
