I’ve been knitting away on the sweater for my son whenever I get a few moments. For all you moms out there with young children, you know how those free minutes are few and far between, right?? Anyway, I sort of wrapped the work in progress around his torso yesterday evening and I realized that this sweater isn’t going to fit him unless I blocked the life out of it once I’m done. And the chances of it fitting then….. Read more »

Snow, Yeah!
As promised, we got our winter wonderland 🙂 The cuteness!! Despite explaining to Prithvi that 2 cm of snow doesn’t count for the school distric calling it a “snow day”, he was up really, really early this morning watching the local news to see if his wish would come true. Nope, no snow day today! Snow makes everything so magical and yesterday’s sunset can bear witness to that fact. The first thing Kiki asked me this morning was if we had any… Read more »
Purging
How has your new year been so far? All 13 days of it? Have you been organizing and clearing out all the clutter? This is something I do every time the new year rolls in. Once the Christmas decorations are packed away, the organizing bug bites me hard for a few days. It really helps that every store seems to have their boxes and bins and baskets on sale right now! This year, I organized my yarn stash too and… Read more »
Done And Dusted
Does everyone feel like 2011 has flown by at warp speed or is it just me? Personally, it has been a challenging year in many ways but at the same time so rewarding. My knitting journey has moved forward in a positive direction and although, it felt like I didn’t knit as much as I did in previous years, the number of finished projects as recorded on Ravelry and on my blog speak otherwise (that discovery was a pleasant surprise, to say the least!)… Read more »
It’s Christmas!
It’s finally here!!! Merry Christmas to you and your family from ours 🙂
I Want A Hippopotamus For Christmas
Not really, but that song is stuck in my head and I smile everytime I hear it 😀 So, Christmas came early for me since the UPS man showed up this morning with a rather large box. No, he didn’t bring a boatload of yarn (although, that would have been lovely too!) He did bring something else that’s been on my wishlist for ages… Meet Scarlett O’Hara! She now lives in my kitchen and she’s red 🙂 In the midst of… Read more »
Change Over
Time to say goodbye to these cute little cherubs and drag out “Mr. Fakey” to get him all spruced up. Because Tis The Season! The kids laid out our “snow village” this year and I have to say, they did a fine job of it! I do have a bit of knitting on the needles but since it is for Christmas gifting, I can’t really talk about it yet. I did, finish (sorta) a cardigan for Kiki in this lovely… Read more »
Frozen Fingers
Seen on our walk yesterday… and this sweet girl and this little guy soon, all those leaves will fall But look at that snow line! Granted we don’t get much snow in Vancouver but this city is nestled alongside the Coast Mountain Range and those mountains get covered in white fluff every winter. My hands are always the first to freeze when it gets cold outside (or with over-zealous air conditioning, or at the movies!) But not today. Today, they were TOASTY thanks… Read more »
Being Thankful
We are overwhelmed because we have so much to be thankful for. Happy Thanksgiving, Canada!
A Side Of Sunkist
I love how each evening, the sun wants to stay a while and play. Soon it will be time for pumpkins and acorns and floating leaves and many, many raindrops. But not today. Today is for enjoying these pretties. Even the littlest ones. I’ve got a bit of sunshine on the needles too. More on that next time.
