Well I’ve been working on the quilt sampler cross stitch I mentioned a little while ago and I think it’s coming along pretty well.   The pattern called for it to be stitched across 2 stitches but I couldn’t be arsed, I just did it normally.   It’s still coming out nicely anyway. I have to admit, it’s not as fun to …

If Rex is ever up for eviction in Big Brother UK, VOTE HIS ASS OUT!!!  OMG, I don’t remember the last time I ever saw someone on TV, fictional or reality, that I despise as much as this man. Is anyone else watching this season?  I want to climb through my screen and poke his eyes out with my fingers.   …

That’s how long until the first day of Autumn.  It sounds like a long time but it’s not really, and we’ve not even had a summer yet (we didn’t last year either).   I want to go back to France, where it was warm and dry.   Barring my horrid sunburn, I loved it there… and I only got the burn because …

I think I have abandonment issues because I had a really weird dream last night with a common theme as of late. I dreamed, yet again, that I was back in Canada.  I was in my hometown, driving around seeing and doing all the things I miss.   It’s all in bits and pieces now but some of the things I …

I’m ripping this post off from A Touch of Dutch where she also posted this video today (linked same video for Facebook notes cuz the stupid thing doesn’t import them properly).   It’s a video with just music and photos showing typisch Nederlands (Typical Dutch).   It shows what the Netherlands is mostly made up of and gives you non-Dutch / non-Netherlands-dwellers …

Well, not me personally… but my mother’s cross stitch has! err.. or will be.  There’s a pattern I’ve wanted to do for a long time called Aunt Verdi’s Porch by Paula Vaughan.   I had mentioned it to my mother a few times and when I was home in Canada in October she showed me that she had actually done it …

You know, I’m not the most worldly person.   I’ve traveled around a bit but I generally don’t keep up on the politics and news in other countries.  Hell, I hardly pay attention to the news in my own country, so overall when it comes to current affairs I’m a giant ignoramus.   Something had me confused the other night though,  and …

Have you ever just wished someone would shut the hell up? (I wonder how many of you thought ‘yeah you!’ when I said that haha) Anyhow, today I realized that Bailey is smarter than all of us.   While playing with Pixel on my footstool I guess he got sick of her because this was the result. I guess that’s one …

I started this cross stitch years ago when I first came to NL.   It landed in a drawer and came out once or twice but I never got around to finishing it until recently.  It’s pretty manky and crumbled from 8 years of being worked on and then stuffed away but I’m hoping that once I clean it and get …

Over the years my hair has been getting shorter and shorter.  Mostly because my patience for long hair has been becoming shorter and shorter too!  In the winter months it’s fine but in the summer I hate having a lot of hair.   My hair is really fine so it tangles easily, and I just get too warm with it all …

I love my mom and dad, but I’ve decided that they’ve passed down some pretty rotten genes. I have my great grandmother from my mother’s side, Grannie’s, ass.  I know this because my sister has the same ass as me and Grannie is the only person I can think of when I go up the family tree that had one …
