Midweek Musings

It’s been an interesting week/month/year, hasn’t it? Covid-19 had us all going into lock down mode and due to the increasing numbers in parts of Canada, some Provinces are going to more restrictions. Most stores here in BC have “Mandatory Mask” signs. We utilized our stashes making masks for loved ones. Online stores were overwhelmedContinueContinue reading “Midweek Musings”

I Love Thursday #20

I really like heading over to LeeAnna’s blog Not Afraid of Color to see what a group of crafty friends share on their Thursday posts, which are then linked on LeeAnna’s Linky party.

I Love Thursday #18

A few months ago I was introduced to LeeAnna and a group of inspiring friends who get together most Thursday’s to share a list of likes and loves over on LeeAnna’s blog Not Afraid of Color. Through the year of Covid 19, political drama, deaths, murders and political unrest, I found it to be veryContinueContinue reading “I Love Thursday #18”

Happy Thanksgiving

Here in Canada it’s Thanksgiving Day. Some people are managing to share their holiday with family and friends. Others are choosing to stay home in their bubble. However you are choosing to spend your day I do hope it is wonderful. DH and I are tucked in at home. The weather is a bit unpredictableContinueContinue reading “Happy Thanksgiving”

I Love Thursday #14

Have you found that some weeks are flying by and others are dragging? I’m discovering that the news is still having a profound effect on my moods and productivity. I try to read this frequently and having it hanging by my sewing table. I have been limiting watching news time, but find it is allContinueContinue reading “I Love Thursday #14”

I Love Thursday #10

Another week of adventures; some good, some just plain strange. I love that DH has finally been able to get up and start walking a bit more. It’s really good since on Friday he should be getting his staples out! I am especially happy that my daughter has been here for almost two weeks andContinueContinue reading “I Love Thursday #10”

I Love Thursday #8

Another week of getting my I like/love thoughts together has me pulling social media posts and memes to try to fit my thoughts into words. Not only are we still dealing with the spiking Covid 19 numbers, we are seeing more mass death and attacks, peaceful protesters being shot, gassed or hauled away in theContinueContinue reading “I Love Thursday #8”

Christmas in July (then and now) My Day

A couple of months ago, Carol from Just Let Me Quilt put out the word that she was going to host another blog Hop and who wanted to join in. Well at the time I was in the midst of a Covid Blue Funk and really needed something to get me inspired. The funny thingContinueContinue reading “Christmas in July (then and now) My Day”

I Love Thursday

This has been another week of troubling news; more trouble during a wellness check, Chief being violently abused during a traffic stop, watching the news from America. My heart is heavy with all that is going on and the increasing numbers of positive cases as our country re-opens. It is not always easy to seeContinueContinue reading “I Love Thursday”

I Love Thursday’s

I was first introduced to I Love Thursday’s by reading Sue and Roseanne’s blog Home Sewn By Us. Through their blog I discovered LeeAnna’s blog Not Afraid of Colour.

One of my greatest joys right now is seeing how the curve has flat linedContinueContinue reading “I Love Thursday”

Midweek Musing

I was just sitting here trying to knit and my mind started to wander. I was thinking of how our lives have changed with this worldwide crisis. I was thinking of my family in Alberta. With their lives and responsibilities staying home and staying safe is only a possibility for some of them. My daughterContinueContinue reading “Midweek Musing”

Fabric Pulls

These past few days found me going down a rabbit hole. I hit the wall with missing family, not being able to focus, and really missing the physical contact of a simple hug. It was really strange not to see family or friends over the Easter weekend other than social media posts, video and telephoneContinueContinue reading “Fabric Pulls”

I Love Thursday

March 15 -21 Progress and Goals

To say it’s been an interesting week is putting it mildly. I’m not sure if any of you have experienced any of the hysteria based behaviour, but it is fully in force here in the Kootenay region of British Columbia. Just a reminder that through the stress and anxiety, we all need to remain calm,ContinueContinue reading “March 15 -21 Progress and Goals”
