In the eye of the beholder

By in a good day, love

We drove all the way around Toronto today on 2 separate missions. Number one was getting medicine for sick fish. Donna’s got some form of fungal infection and my first plan is to put salt in her water. It took a while to figure out what size pond it is, I didn’t want to over […]

Hey, ladies, it’s shower time!

By in a good day, friends, love

Went to my homegirl’s bridal shower today. It’s only the second one I’ve been to in my entire life so I never know what to expect-much less what to bring. This one was an easy one, no games or ribbon bonnet-WOO WOO-and finger sandwiches, fruit skewers and cupcakes. Wine spritzers. I love drinking-everyone knows that-and […]

Felicitations!

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

Today was Ari’s 6th birthday. I think it was probably her most eagerly anticipated birthday yet, and has been talked about for almost a year. The day went very well, Ari helped me bake and decorate her own cake this morning: Served on my grandmother’s wedding china, yes. I am no cake decorator, that’s for […]

When I stay busy I forget…something…what were we talking about?

By in a good day, daily grind, dollhouse, love, making stuff is good

Gillian had posted an Etsy link in a comments thing about dollhouse miniature food and it’s so cute, I love it. Not that I have $35 for a teeny tiny cutting board with sandwich fixings on it-I wish. Anyway, I thought I’d post the miniature things I’ve been working on. Um. I made warm hats […]

Further updates

1. My ring As anyone could guess, it weighs a ton and took me a while to get used to. Typing was the hardest adjustment-I worried for a while that my s and w keys would be broken, but they’re fine. It’s been well received by everyone-literally everyone-who sees it in real life (and not […]

Impending Hallmark holiday

By in love

It’s almost Valentine’s Day and I haven’t got any plans. I haven’t bought any candy (well, ok, I have bought lots of candy but nothing for my beloved) or cards or flowers. I haven’t made dinner reservations. We are child-free this weekend and you’d think we would have planned something, but no. At least, not […]

Proof I might be crochet crazy:

By in Art!, love

The #1 ribbon was awarded to me for putting my shoes on fastest. On top are a love note from Shannon and photo booth pictures of Ari and her bff Tyler. Strapped to the side is a photo of Shannon with another note stuck to it.

Lately

By in Art!, crochet, love

I’ve been feeling super crappy for the past couple days and I don’t know why. All I want is to be at home with the people I love.  Even retail therapy hasn’t been helping. Home is not only where my heart is, it’s where my yarn stash is. I’ve made 2 more toys in the […]

A-Musing

By in love

When I was a little kid nothing got me more excited than getting something in the mail. Usually it meant that Christmas was coming (my English relatives would send stuff so early it was torturous) or my birthday. But it always meant that someone, somewhere was thinking about me and went to some effort to […]
