Wow, has it been that long?

Now that my life is getting more settled again, it’s time to get back to blogging.  Since I last wrote, we moved out of the house and have finally hit the road in our new home.  Frank and I have a travelblog set up at artfulvagabonds where we’ll put most of the travel stuff.  I’ll [...]

It was quantity time, not quality time

Yesterday was the first day that the H1N1 shots were available in our area (and only for particular people, including those with chronic illnesses and the people who love them, which is how I qualified).  The clinic opened at 2:30pm, so Frank, I, and Karen-who-has-no-blog (yet) figured that if we showed up a little [...]

Busy times ahead!

We’ve long been planning to sell our house, buy a fifth-wheel and travel around the States and Canada, painting and photographing to our hearts’ content.  We finally took matters in hand and listed the house on Oct. 16th, and on Oct. 17th we had the house sold.  Whew.  Still makes my head spin!
Our last day [...]

Road Trip

Last weekend my friend Elisabeth had to deliver two llamas to a farm in Quebec’s Eastern Townships (about a four and a half hour drive from her place), so, hoping to get some photos of spectacular fall colours, I went with her.  The colours weren’t at their peak yet, but the rolling hills and fields [...]

Fields

I had some fun this morning making a larger-than-my-usual painting, and I even used house-painting brushes for most of it, which seemed somehow weirdly wrong.  They worked well to cover the canvas, though, and I have some other large-ish canvases, so I’ll be using them again.    Originally I’d been planning a much more orange [...]

Hmmmmmm…..

The above is a screen-clip from a website I recently visited.  I’ve been wondering how to comply ever since.  I’ll let you know when I come up with the answer….

Tamari Almonds

When our local bulk foods store introduced tamari almonds as a new product, they offered it at a sale price and so, naturally, I bought some.  Frank and I both liked them, but when I went back for more, the introductory offer was over, and plain, raw almonds were on sale, instead.  Well.
These are so [...]

Edge of the Woods

Well, yesterday it finally happened: I had to turn on the heat when I came downstairs in the morning.  First time this autumn, and certainly not the last, although today it is much warmer again and no extra heating is required.  The forecast for the rest of the week looks pretty moderate, in fact, so [...]

Quick Easy-Peasy Scarf

This is a quick, super-warm knit done in a lopi-style yarn (in this case it’s a custom yarn of 80% alpaca, 5% merino and 15% bamboo, so it’s snuggly *and* luxurious!).
I used 6 oz (170 gm) yarn and US 11 (8 mm) needles to make a scarf 7 x 70″ (18 x 180 cm).
Please let [...]

My desk

Today I felt like posting a picture of my desk.  What does your desk look like?
