Life's a Stitch

And more recently life’s a creative adventure with some travel thrown in.

Who says dogs don't smile?

Really, take a closer look. Click on that picture and tell me she's not smiling.

That's Gracee's new favourite game – Bocce Ball. We play by Gracee's rules, wherever she moves the ball, that's where we leave it for scoring. She's part of the family after all.

Father's Day, plus the lowest lobster prices I've ever seen, equals:

Lobster before

Can you believe that's my boy from this post just five years ago?

Instead of butter we made Thai lime dipping sauce:

Stir together the juice of 2 limes, 5 teaspoons of Thai fish sauce, 2 cloves of garlic, chopped fresh chili peppers to taste – the more the merrier (!). You know how you feel icky after eating melted butter? You don't feel that way with the lime sauce.

More spoils from Vancouver's Dressew's regular price of $1.99 a skein:

Blog followers, seriously, if you are in need of major stash enhancement, it might be worth the trip from afar. They have lots of Rowan, Regia, Nashua Handknits… Consider that an invitation.

    Oh how fun to play Bocce Ball with Gracee! Did your son catch the lobsters too?
    LOL – I’ve read on another blog about this place in Vancouver, but she would not give up her source of those cheap sock yarns. Not that it does matter to me. :o)

    Aww – Gracee’s so cute. Maggie does a great Corgi smile too. Your boy is looking cute as well. Wish I had time to come up and catch the sales. We really need to do a yarn crawl, but summer is getting way too busy. Maybe in the fall?

    Nice to see Gracie looks the same, and the son is growing more mature. Wish I could get into the city for stash enhancement, but I seem to not be handicapped in that sport. Giving you a smile back.

    Gracie is so cute! And yes she is smiling. Do you think Oklahoma is considered afar? Probably so, oh well. Can’t wait to see what you knit with it all.

    Wow, he’s all grown up!
    Gracie looks a little impish.
    And those yarn prices? Might be worth a trip out!

    I’m glad Gracee has found something that makes her smile; she usually looks so serious. Little boys do grow up, don’t they? In the unlikely event I ever get to Vancouver, I will take you up on that invitation.
