My husband has made a fatal error in the world of spousal behaviour and I will never let him forget it. This is a good thing, believe me. Let me put it into context. We were discussing the clutter in our house and how it makes no sense to spend money on things that collect…

I came home from work to find the house empty of wedding guests for the first time in ten weeks. I’m rattling around this big empty house finding evidence of good times. There are the photographer’s proofs but then there’s the stuff we don’t have pictures of, the memories left to our hearts and heads.…

Not one, but two in a row. You know those moments when you knit into a stitch and the yarn from the previous row breaks? That’s what happened when I was knitting this morning with cotton chenille. A little annoyance when compared to oh shit #2. Can you identify this? If you recognized this as…

Nor is it a vacation destination. I’ll get to the point. You wouldn’t take your knitting on a date (or would you these days), but definitely take it with you if you are accompanying a male and ordering from the professional’s desk at Home Depot. No matter how hard he tries to convince you that…

This is living proof that defies that old adage about new tricks. Meet my "much younger" (as she introduces herself) sister, Jane, who has learned to knit.

Not one, but two yarn crawls, a fun trip to the casino, lots of sunshine and laughter. Of particular interest to bloggers, here’s Marsha…

Here are some of the highlights and lows of the past week: Highs: A super composed, articulate bride; beautiful wedding day weather; a brunch reception like no other; being surrounded by friends and family…

It was absolutely beautiful! Of course I’m a biased mother of the bride. For now, a couple of photos:

As of tonight we have 17 people staying at our house, each in their own bed. Notice I didn’t say in their own bedrooms. Chuck made it his goal to provide a decent clean mattress for everybody via Freecycle and they are distributed throughout the house. I laughed this morning when I went outside to…

I heard a great quote. "As a parent you don’t need to worry about developing a sense of humility. It’s dished out to you every day." In generous portions, I might add. So, last night I coloured my hair in anticipation of the upcoming wedding. DS says "Oh you changed the colour of your hair."…
