If we met for coffee, I’d order a piping hot Caffè Americano and share all the details about what a fun time we had with our friend Heather on Halloween as we carved some rather impressive (if I do say so myself!) pumpkins (designs courtesy [continue reading…]
Welcome to November, a fresh new month full of opportunities to express gratitude for our abundance of blessings. Today I’m thinking of our two youngest cats, Mei-Mei and Seamus, who have been with us for around six months now and just had their [continue reading…]
Another month of daily photos with the Fat Mum Slim Photo A Day Challenge done! I’ve been sharing my photos on Instagram, Twitter, Flickr, and the FMS Photo A Day group on Facebook, but thought I’d also periodically do a round-up of my photos [continue reading…]
Today’s Photo Friday “Signs of Autumn” challenge prompt actually touches on one of my photographic regrets – the fact that every year I say I’m going to spend an Autumn afternoon driving around our area and taking pictures of the gorgeous fall foliage, but [continue reading…]
Even though I’ve struggled with making the time to blog daily over the past few months, I’ve decided to take the plunge and commit to doing so in November as part of NaBloPoMo (National Blog Posting Month). Even though NaBloPoMo actually [continue reading…]
It has been a busy, busy week, both in the tangling department and life in general, and I’ve been having a great time throughout it all! For today’s post I’m particularly happy to share a fun, long-anticipated seasonal project which I was able to complete [continue reading…]
The sky is clear and blue today, a perfect backdrop for trees in the midst of a transition from summer green to fall shades of red and gold. Even though my home office window looks out onto our back yard and a not-so-beautiful alley, the view of the many [continue reading…]
After a very busy couple of weeks I am easing myself back into tangling. Monday was actually the perfect day to start, as it was my day off with nothing scheduled but working my way through a humongous pile of laundry, and I had plenty of time to [continue reading…]
Right at the top of this week’s gratitude list are my wonderful Mom and Dad, who just celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary. They have always been an unfailing example of commitment, faith, and unconditional love, and I am truly blessed to [continue reading…]
There were a few photos in my archives that I could have chosen for today’s Photo Friday “Color” prompt, but in the end I went with one I took using my iPhone’s fisheye lens attachment because hey, a fun Photo Friday fisheye feature felt fitting [continue reading…]
Although I took a bit of a break from blogging while my family was in town visiting, I still managed to stick to my daily photo habit for the Fat Mum Slim Photo A Day Challenge… and as it turned out I was rewarded for my efforts, as not one but TWO of my [continue reading…]
Well, I’ve re-entered the land of blogging after taking a bit of a break to enjoy a wonderful five-day visit from my family. Peter and I had a great time showing them our house, our new (well, four years new!) city, and some of our favourite restaurants, and [continue reading…]
Since today’s the day the family arrives (yay!), I thought it would be fun to share a Throwback Thursday photo of the four of us. Little did I know how difficult that would be! While hunting through my albums I found several pictures of just three of us – with the [continue reading…]
The family arrives tomorrow, and while Peter still has a few things on his list left to finish, I do believe my part of the cleaning and getting ready for them is pretty much DONE. (Well, except for the laundry. There is ALWAYS more laundry.) [continue reading…]
Today’s Tangled Tuesday post is going to be short and sweet – short because I’ve been getting ready for houseguests and so have had very little time for tangling this week, but sweet because I DID manage to learn a few new patterns AND finish a couple of [continue reading…]
While for the most part I am reasonably tidy and relatively organized, I am sorely, sadly lacking in the upkeep and maintenance department… because when it comes to household chores such as dusting, vacuuming, cleaning the bathrooms, and taking [continue reading…]
It’s been a crazy busy day of rushing around from here to there and back again, so I’m dashing in with a VERY quick post to share the gratitude linkup and invite you to add your own posts, lists, and comments. I do love hearing from you all! [continue reading…]
