Happy New Year dear friends! I hope your year is filled with plenty of joy, fun and creativity!! So 2017 is here and it’s time to focus. While 2016 was a year of tremendous growth both personally and for my family, I sort of lost my way in documenting and sharing the joys, accomplishments and struggles. While I try to savor the memories of good times and learn from experiences that were tough, I realize that keeping a record is a great… Read more »

Snippets
We’re heading out to the Oregon Coast in a couple days, so I’m writing this post in-between loads of laundry! Like many others worldwide, we ventured out to catch a glimpse of the August supermoon. It was lovely, but the sunset before that was even more spectacular. Too bad we didn’t get any sunset pictures since it was all about the moon that night! While we were waiting for moonrise, we spotted a beaver swimming to his house. I’ve never seen one in the… Read more »

A Doozy
All of the school districts in the Vancouver area have a “West Coast Recess” policy which means the kids go outside during recess and lunch to play outside despite the rain. If you’ve lived in Vancouver or the Pacific Northwest for any length of time you’ll know that what we call rain is a heavy drizzle for everyone else. So, no torrential downpour, thunder, lightning or any of those cool things associated with rain. Today, however, things are different. It… Read more »
Knit City 2012
Vancouver’s very own fiber festival, Knit City, was this past weekend and what a great festival it was! There was much yarn and fiber to be squished and a wonderful gathering of designers, fiber artists and all-round yarn enthusiasts. There were also various demos and classes (didn’t sign up for any this time). Unfortunately, I forgot to bring my camera with me, so no pictures of the actual vendors and artisans and yarn, yarn, yarn. I left with quite a… Read more »
