Today’s Ten on Tuesday is all about September. To be exact, the ten things you love about September. Kids are going back to school Not so much an issue for the Husbeast and I since we don’t have children, but it does mean that for some things, the neighbourhood is quieter. When you work shifts […]
I got to go on my first Full Moon Ride tonight! Robin and I loaded up Frankie and Elwood (our Pashleys) and headed downtown to meet up with the group. I can now say that having a C-Train stop two or three blocks away from the house is very convenient. We met up with Chelsea […]
It certainly took long enough to finish off these socks. They first appeared in the blog back in December, and I only finally kitchenered the last heel this afternoon. They started off as purse knitting, went to a pub or two and the theatre…then promptly were tossed aside as I became somewhat disenchanted with socks […]
Hooray for WIP Wednesday! I actually have pictures taken this week. Amazing! Usually I get caught a little flat-footed due to the fact that my schedule is all over the place. First up, a pair of plain old vanilla socks in Trekking XXL. Not very exciting, but we can’t have everything. I actually do still […]
As a transplanted Ontarian, there are a few things I miss about my old home. I miss being able to drive out in any direction and find small towns, adventure, and sometimes ice cream (I’m lookin’ at you there, Pakenham). I miss architecture that is attractive and sticks around for more than 50 years, and […]
My garden sometimes surprises me. We cut back the rose bushes this past spring, and I really didn’t expect anything from them. I’ve since learned not to underestimate my roses. Well…the roses at the back of the garden. While the rose bush at the front of the garden continues its three year trend of producing […]
It’s no secret that my favourite season is autumn. I grew up in a town where as the summer wound down, the trees turned colour, and there was a hint of all the smells of fall in the air. Living in a city without a bunch of colour-changing maple trees has been a little disorienting…summer […]
I totally forgot that today is Wednesday. Good thing I remembered in time! So…what’s in progress around here? For starters…I’ve been working away at my spinning: That’s Crown Mountain Farms Corriedale Pencil Roving in “Stonehenge”, for those who missed the last post on the subject. I’m enjoying spinning this stuff up, even though it’s not […]
This will be a bit of a quick one, as I didn’t take a heck of a lot of photos of singles or anything as I was going along. Working the night shift this past month, while it has given me more time with the husbeast, has kinda sucked time away from some of the […]
Well, we’ve gotten through the morning and afternoon of Wednesday and are now looking down the barrel of evening/night. The day isn’t over yet, though, and that means a WIP Wednesday is still possible! So! What’s in the Tardis Bag and my Skully bag? Um…I can’t show you those. They’re designs-in-progress that aren’t for public […]
