Perhaps it’s the warmer weather causing people’s minds to turn to gardening and barbeque-ing but I have noticed more than a few blog entries about Organic foods and all that comes with that discussion. As an ex-farm girl (who occasionally has dreams of returning) and having been trained as a Chef I am always thrilled [...]

For some unknown reason WP hasn’t been notifying me of any comments left on the blog…so I apologize for not responding to ya’ll and am trying to figur it out.

I was woken up by my love who had been snuggling with me before he HAD to get out of bed to get ready for work stating “what? WHAT!!??!! WHAT THE FUCK!!!!!” I can honestly say that I thought Junior Shrub had done something extra stupid or there had been some sort of horrid disaster. [...]

Chris and I just spent a lovely night with Tanya, Mr. Mo and their two monkeys. Denny was really right when she said how important it was for her to have friends with kids arround the same age as hers and how important it is to keep those relationships going. I am a very happy [...]

I think I may have too many projects on the go right now…I need to focus hard on finishing my dad’s sock for Fathers’ day. Clearly I have a hard time with deadlines…I think that Dr. Who scarf kinda ruined it all for me! There is quite a few projects in the distance that I’m [...]

So far I have dyed two of my four skanks of yarn…I used Kool Aid for each one and am thinking I need to go do a restock of my colours and dye up the other two. I have also decided to make a warping board to give self striping yarns a go.

For some unknown reaeon I keep having these unfortunate fiber accidents. They seem to happen most often when I’m either poking arround online while nursing Abi and she kicks out her leg and seems to hit the buttons in such a way that I end up with a bag of ROWAN yarn arriving in the [...]
