But I finally tracked down the shawl of my dreams! I first saw it while wandering through the Sheep to Shawl competition at The Royal last fall. There was a woman wearing a largish shawl crossed over her front and tied behind her back. It looked so cozy and warm, I asked her about it [...]

Here’s the deal: I have rubbish teeth (more than likely caused by being over prescribed penicillin as a child) and they need some fixing and Abi needs to go for her first check up. I’m looking for references to a good family Dentist, preferably in the east end of the city. If you have one [...]

Dr. Steph has given me my first award! I’m quite chuffed about it especially since I discovered it during a temper tantrum (for the record I wasn’t having the tantrum…this time). So now I get to pass it on to ten people… And the winners are: Denny (even if she doesn’t blog ever!) Franklin Kathleene [...]

We picked it up yesterday morning. The guys at the store (the Beaches location) were super nice and set it up for strolling and I pushed it home, through the snow! I was surprised to discover it’s lighter than my stroller! Both kids loved the ride which is promising for when I take them out [...]

I’ve always wanted to be a groupie… That right there is Gut Bucket (there is prolific use of umlauts on EVERY vowel in the bands name). From Left to right Phil, Mike and Chris. They all swap roles in the band, it’s very democratic and probably going to be their downfall… Oh and whoever said [...]

The cold is still in full effect even after my attempts to evict it with chopped raw garlic in my chicken noodle soup, lemon ginger tea, sinus rinsing and eucalyptus bubble baths, which means no Drunken Knitters pour moi! Le Sigh! Oh and just to add insult to injury, my dryer is still out of [...]

Finally I have taken a picture of my completed Seaweed! The Deets: Yarn: Rowanspun Chunky from the Stash (used a bit over 1 ball) Needles: Denise US#9 Mods: The only thing I did differently was to put the button loops instead of holes. My attempts at finishing up some current WIPs has so far been [...]

There’s a sports event I can get behind! Really what could be more perfect!?! Hockey, Beer and Knitting!!! It’s just down right Canadian! Who was it that set up the Stitch n’Pitch at the Jays game? Does anyone know if there are plans for a Sticks and Stitches event with either the Leafs or the [...]
