On Wednesday DH had an appointment with a surgeon so we had to go to town. On the way home the car hit some deepContinueContinue reading “I Love Thursday”

December OMG link up
I knew that December was going to be a month of very little sewing time. We were committed to go to Alberta to farm sit for two weeks and get some quality visiting time in with family. My goal for the month was to get my project done for The Winter Blues Blog Hop (JanuaryContinueContinue reading “December OMG link up”

Friday Follow Up

Then DH remembered that Kenny and Dee will be decorating for Christmas. My darling has aContinueContinue reading “Friday Follow Up”
Another Experience
This past week has been a busy one; a little sewing, a little canning, a little writing and a lot of medical stuff. Two hours drive one way gets me to Trail. I’ve been there 3 times this week; surgeon appointment, pre-surgery check in and today an MRI. I was in Nelson which is oneContinueContinue reading “Another Experience”
August Update
This month is turning out to be just plain weird! I’ve had successes with finishing some projects, getting sidetracked with Squirrels and too much time spent on medical stuff! For those of you who have been following my blog for a while, you might remember my misadventure in June. I had only slept about 4ContinueContinue reading “August Update”
Another Weird Adventure!
Last Tuesday I left home at 8:00 to make my 9:00 physio appointment in Nelson. After working with Stu for an hour, I had some errands and a quick stop at the fabric shop in Nelson before I headed to Castlegar. There I had banking and errands for DH to do. By this time it’sContinueContinue reading “Another Weird Adventure!”

Happy Mother’s Day to you all; be you mother, father, grandmother, aunt, son, daughter or person who has shared special time with a child.

Q1FAL
It’s always a fun time to record finishes. First up I have Charlotte’s sweater knitted, buttons sewed on and the parcel has been mailed! As usual, I forgot to take a picture after it had been soaked and blocked. Somewhere years ago, I was given a handwritten pattern for a children’s sweater pattern that isContinueContinue reading “Q1FAL”

Finally this little man was brought into our world at 9:20 this morning. Isn’t he just the cutest little bundle of joy? The doctors had warned us the little man would only be about 5 lbs.

Life Takes Another Turn
The exercise regime that DH and his doctors and therapists have settled on for the next two weeks is having great results. He is walking better, his shoulders are almost level and his range of motion is increasing. Yesterday he reached the point where he was able to do a full hour of activity withoutContinueContinue reading “Life Takes Another Turn”
Update!
We got home Tuesday night after a fairly stress free trip. I managed to stay ahead of the snowstorm that was forecast. It was good driving with only one bad stretch with slush and snow through the pass on the Paulson. I think we were both in bed by 8:30! The next morning we hadContinueContinue reading “Update!”
The Next Adventure Begins
Well, we made it to Vancouver today after leaving home yesterday. The trip over the Blueberry Paulson was rough with a lot of snow and very slushy roads. DH took a turn at driving after we got on to clear roads. I took over again at Rock Creek. Just after I started driving the weatherContinueContinue reading “The Next Adventure Begins”

2019 Finish Along
My year has begun with another unpack of my boxes and bins from the storage room to do another sort and purge! Since moving out of the house (3600 sq ft) in October and into a temporary apartment (600 sq ft) I have discovered I don’t have enough space to sort my already put togetherContinueContinue reading “2019 Finish Along”
