Yesterday was such a lovely warm, sunny afternoon. I went to visit my mom, and couldn’t resist trying to capture an image of these crocuses and snowdrops in the bright sunshine. Blown highlights, but I like the picture anyway. Spring is definitely almost here, and after a dull Lower Mainland winter, I’m ready for it!
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….
Today I felt like posting a picture of my desk. What does your desk look like?
<– See that? I got it from AutumnLeaves. Thank you, Sherry! I’m honoured that you thought of me (in the interests of full disclosure, I should mention here that Sherry and I have the same hair, but other than that, we are unrelated). This award has a couple of rules: Tell the world seven things [...]
I finished the hat for Elisabeth (made out of that yummy llama/bamboo yarn I mentioned a post or two back) last night, and this morning convinced Amelia to model it out on the back deck in the fall sunshine. I’m pretty pleased with how it turned out, and if I can scam obtain some more [...]

Put my fingers into the business end of a stick-blender while it was running, that is. Sigh. I am ever so grateful that the emergency room folks kept their comments to themselves and just patched me up and sent me on my way. Dressing comes off tomorrow, and stitches come out in a week. Except [...]

Well, it’s been a riotous couple of days…. On Wednesday night, Frank had another attack of abdominal pain and fever (a couple of weeks ago, we’d attributed it to the flu). Thursday morning I took him to his doctor, who said “run, don’t walk” to the hospital. So, off to the emergency ward we went. [...]
“Four Trees” is a painting I finished this morning, inspired by the stormy skies we’ve been having the last couple of days. I know that objects “should” be grouped in odd numbers, but I wanted to try an even numbered group, just because. It’s my painting and I can do what I want. Phhht. “Red [...]
