This is not a very exciting post, because most of my weekend was spent drawing lots and lots for my design class and measuring and remeasuring and cutting for my construction class and taking care of other schoolwork things. I managed to sneak in a little knitting, too. I tell myself it’s good for homework [...]
Monday is a holiday in the US so that means we have a three-day weekend! Tonight, we’re off to the land of cheese (aka Wisconsin) for a little visit to a college friend. I’m excited to get out-of-town for one last mini road trip of the summer. Before I go I thought I’d share a [...]
What a happy and full weekend! Friday night there was a lot of tidying up and getting ready for a visit from a friend from college, Katie. (I love these kinds of visits!) There were also plum tart preparations and shrimp tacos. Joel makes the best tacos! Saturday, we met up with Katie at Ikea, [...]
So today I did many things. Like lots and lots! I slept until the sun woke me up instead of the alarm. I dug up the old tire that previous tenants thought was a great idea to use as a flowerbed ornament. (Really, guys?) Weeded the flower bed and spread nice fresh mulch. The patio [...]
What a great, busy, fun weekend! Friday night, there were glasses of red wine, good pasta and tidying up the house for company. Saturday we woke up to a mighty thunderstorm, which was just what the garden needed. The ginkgo tree looked pretty covered in raindrops.
Oh, it can be quite hard to get motivated on a Friday evening when there is a surprise treat, a happy-sleepy puppy, a brand new ReadyMade begging to be read, and yarn to be knit. Yes, I think all of that sounds a lot more fun than the chores that need doing! I have a [...]
Today is one of the of the first Saturdays in ages that I haven’t had any plans! It’s kind of fun to have a whole day stretching out in front of you with lots of potential but no absolute must dos. And the best way to start this sort of day is with pancakes! Joel [...]
Easter weekend, for me, was a lot of staying up late, getting up early and a little bit of overindulging. Saturday night I was up late prepping the dough for hot cross buns. Want a work out? Knead dough for 15 minutes straight! But they’re worth it! Hot cross buns are best eaten right from [...]
Last night we were busy helping with a beautiful Good Friday service at church. I think it was the best Good Friday service I have ever seen and it was wonderful to get to be a part of it. Manalive, were we up late, though! Today is all about coffee, sunshine and sneaking some early [...]
I spent the morning doing a little spring cleaning, which mostly meant washing walls and trying to keep a certain pup out of the soapy water. Harder than it sounds! It was misty all morning and now, believe it or not, it is actually snowing! Snowing! I went out for provisions and now I’m staying cozy [...]
I write about things I like: knitting, fashion, books, and other cozy, lovely things. Thanks for visiting!
