My post this week will be a reflection on the crazy times we are living in and concerns for what this world will be like when my grandchildren and great grandchildren are all grown. I had thought that this “once in a lifetime” pandemic was one of the most topsy turvy roller coaster rides ofContinueContinue reading “I Love Thursday’s”

I Love Thursday
I’m not sure how your week is going, but mine has been great so far. I’ve been busy sewing and getting some projects with deadlines done and while we have had some rain there has been lots of sunshine. 1. 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”
I Like
1. I love the market garden just down the road that is now safely delivering fresh picked lettuce and greens from their greenhouses. It’s all organic and has flavour like my garden produce used to have. I could happily live on salads! 2. I really like the fact that with the nicer weather DH isContinueContinue reading “I Like”
Friday and Saturday; A New Adventure!
In case you didn’t know I recently spent a couple of days moving my little sewing space around and reorganizing things. It is part of my spring cleaning regime. Today I had to do the dreaded trip to Castlegar for groceries. I had my mask and gloves on and was pleasantly surprised that I onlyContinueContinue reading “Friday and Saturday; A New Adventure!”
Another Pattern Test Finished
Today I finished the flimsy I was pattern testing. I was able to get outside for a photo shoot in spite of the snow that fell last night Here’s a sneak peek; And look at the bonus with this one: My only sadness with this project is the flimsy needs to go on the ToContinueContinue reading “Another Pattern Test Finished”

So to date IContinueContinue reading “February OMG Finishes”

Last half of February
This hasn’t been the most productive month I have had, but my vision in one eye is fantastic and my right eye gets operated on in a week and a half so I’m content. I did manage to keep working on my four patches for the scrappy quilt I’ve been working on. I was doingContinueContinue reading “Last half of February”
Day 2 Post Surgery
Another adventure has begun! Had the cataract surgery on Monday. I admit to being scared witless beforehand😩. All in all it took less than an hour from when I got to the hospital to walking out the door! My surgeon was fantastic and explained things as he was proceeding. He was satisfied with how everythingContinueContinue reading “Day 2 Post Surgery”

Mosaic Mystery Update
This morning we had to go to Nelson for DH’s doctor’s appointments. Normally a 50 minute drive. We have severe storm warnings out so it took me an hour and a half to get there. After the appointment we stopped for prescriptions and groceries. The trip home took me just over 1 3/4 hours. ItContinueContinue reading “Mosaic Mystery Update”

November OMG
I can not believe November is almost over. It seems like it just began last week! The fact that there is still no snow on the ground makes it even more difficult to believe.
