After finally finishing my mother in law's Haruni shawl while I was in Canada I was ready to get started on my next project.

This is my husband. Do you see the smile on his face?  Well, I can’t take credit for that one.  Jenny made a leg of lamb and he went into total Neanderthal mode.  He picked that piece of meat up and gnawed on it like his life depended on it. It gave me hope that this might mean that one …

After a few days hanging out at Xander’s dad and Jenny’s place we decided that we should get out and do at least a little exploring.  Usually when we are going somewhere I will scour the internet to find places I want to visit but this trip was mostly about spending time with family so I didn’t make any other …

It’s true… look!! BEANS! Actual … beans!!  I don’t believe it!  I grew a real and honest to goodness vegetable!  I am the queen of gardening! Seriously, if you could have seen the little dance I did around the balcony when I saw these babies.  It went a little something like…  I have beans, baby beans, Go Tammy…shake yer booty, …

A while back I got a package in the mail from Xander’s step-mother which included seeds for growing cucumber, lettuce and beans.  Not just any old kind, but the urban kind for people like me without gardens, they can be grown on the balcony!  By gardening idiots like me! Last week I dug out some pots and got my hands …

This week’s photo hunt theme is Fresh, which luckily fell in line with what I wanted to write about today.  Fresh food!  My very own future home-grown fresh off the balcony veggies! OMG! This week I got a package from Jenny (my stepmom-in-law) with these three packages of seeds included.  She sent along a little card explaining that while she …

On February 14, 2010 (Valentine’s Day) the Lock of Love art piece was placed in Rotterdam’s popular district of Delfshaven.  The Lock of Love ritual has been taking place all over the world, and is now here in Rotterdam as well.  Not just a rail on a bridge or a chain around a lamppost, this work of art has love …
