Happy Labour Day Weekend!

It was great to have a common long weekend in both Canada and America. It’s nice that we can share the same holiday! I had a good weekend pulling fabrics for some pattern tests and upcoming projects. DH was out on the course doing some putting and chipping. He is progressing and so is myContinueContinue reading “Happy Labour Day Weekend!”

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 like Thursday #9

This has been a week of adventures. I like the fact that DH went into hospital last Thursday for his knee replacement surgery. It was a real adventure trying to establish communication with the surgical staff with the Covid shutdown but we managed. He did well but really seemed confused so that was a concern.ContinueContinue reading “I like Thursday #9”

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”

Sunday Sewing

It was Canada Day on Wednesday. When Canada first became a country the day was called Dominion Day. I’m not quite sure when the name got changed. Most celebrations were cancelled because of the pandemic. Fireworks were set off in so many cities, concerts were streamed and people mostly were safe distancing when they didContinueContinue reading “Sunday Sewing”

Friday Fun

I do think I’m getting my sewjo back! A big part of it was going to the post office today and finding this: One day I had been reading a blog post on Mary Mack’s Blog and saw that she had a giveaway for some scraps of Island Batiks fabric. Of course I commented becauseContinueContinue reading “Friday Fun”

I Love Thursday’s

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”

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”

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”
