My neighbour told me about this great new cookbook from the authors of “Looneyspoons” and “Crazyplates.” I bought a copy of the Podleski sisters’ latest book, “Eat, Shrink and be Merry” and am just thrilled with it! The recipes are easy to follow, healthy, and the book is written in a fun, humorous style with [...]
Why do all cats love to hang out in the bathtub? For some reason, the fresh water in their bowl isn’t good enough…instead they need to sip running water…? Another one of life’s great mysteries! This is a photo I took tonight of my cat Beatrice, hanging out in her favorite spot.
I had seen this photograph years ago when I was working for the Ministry of Natural Resources (surprise, surprise!) and I came across it again the other day while surfing the web. I thought it was worth posting because it is so neat! It really needs no further comment or explanation…isn’t body language amazing!?!
Here is a picture of the necklace that I worked on the other day. It is a 4-strand necklace in shades of orange and green with a toggle clasp. I think it turned out pretty well, considering that I made it in about an hour while Liam was having his afternoon nap!

I just wanted to post this picture of our son Liam. The other night he was wandering around wearing one of Stuart’s winter scarves. As you can see, he sure was pleased with himself!
It had been a long time since I had last visited the village of Elora, Ontario, but today was such a beautiful day with sunshine and moderate temperatures, that my husband and I decided to take a drive up and get some fresh air. I also had an alterior motive…I had heard of “Gecko Beads,” [...]
I have a new cat (well, my Blog does!) Thanks very much to my awesome husband who designed the new cat graphic for me…she’s purrrrrrrfect!
Last evening, we shared a meal and a few hours of comradery with our neighbours, and their children. It was a delightful evening of food and conversation. The hours passed as we discussed work, the neighbourhood, blogging, kids and life in general. I wanted to post a link to my neighbour Katherine Siebert’s beautiful new [...]
Okay, so it’s January and I am dreaming of working in my garden…only 3 more months of snow, and hopefully I can stop dreaming and start digging! While I am not an overly experienced gardener, I really enjoy getting my hands into the soil, chosing my plants in the spring, and watching as these small [...]
