Well, I try not to get swayed by tv commercials, but sometimes, I can’t help it. Today, I am flipping channels and see a spot for the Bissell SpotBot Handsfree Compact Deep Cleaner. I’ve got to keep this one in mind for when the dog comes! (No leads yet as to when we’ll get the [...]

On Sunday G and I went to the William Sonoma to see my menus in place on display. We found that 3 out of 4 were left as someone stole the other one. Today, I get a call in the morning from G’s sister who needed help getting new menus because she’s got to show [...]

I’ve been giving my cross stitch a nice amount of attention of late. Started a project and is nearly finished it. (okay, it’s small.) Finished something not long ago and ready to start on more. But my knitting has been on the back burner. I started a dog sweater months and months ago, but it [...]

I dropped off the piece for framing last week. I picked it up this week even though I had told them there was no rush, it was done in a week anyway. I go to Gitta’s which is close to my parents house. As always, they do a wonderful job and I’m so pleased. It’ll [...]

In an effort to make do without buying new furniture pieces for the bedroom, I’ve taken to painting them to match the room. An Ikea storage bench has got a new coat of primer and paint today. Tomorrow it gets coat number two and I believe a faux finish. We’ll see how adventures I become! [...]

G’s sister is in charge of Visuals for all the William Sonoma stores in Canada. She’s doing a bridal table in the flag ship store downtown and needed help with making some menus. So, she’s asked if I can help her with it. Due to the time constraints, I didn’t go too all out. Didn’t [...]

I’ve finally got Jocelyn’s Wedding gift piece done! It’s taken a while longer than I expected during my move, but she’ll get it pretty soon and not too late after the wedding, I figure that I did well. I do feel rather accomplished.

I just came back from my first real bike ride. We went all the way up to the Paint store (where G carried in his back pack the last gallon of paint.) and we had dinner at Korean noodle house. We then came back home. I think all in all, it was about an hour [...]
