Ugh, I’ve been dreading this one.  I’m really not a big music person… there are a lot of songs I can sing along with but ask me who sings them or what they are called? Forget it… I’m not going to do a playlist for just one person, because I’ll never come up with the songs but I’ll just give …

In the spring of last year I had been talking to my mother about knitting, and we were sharing photos of things we liked.  She saw a photo of an afghan on Flickr that she really liked and I noticed that the lady was nice enough to link to the pattern!  I immediately set out to try to find some …

I just got back from dropping my mother off at the airport.  I’m a bit down and I miss her already but I’ve learned over the years that if I let myself wallow I can sometimes not drag myself back out, so I try to keep myself occupied until it passes.   When I got home I checked my RSS feed …

Today my mother sent me photos of the tea quilt I made her after she got it home and put it up.   It’s kind of exciting for me because this is the first quilt I’ve ever made for someone as a gift that is on display somewhere. She hung it in her dining room, which is the exact spot I …

A few months ago I started working on a secret project.  My parents were coming over and I knew my mother would be celebrating her birthday while they were here.  I wanted to make something special for her.   So I got to work on a quilt I had been wanting to make that I thought she would like. It has …

Today two of my favorite people in the world are celebrating their 36th wedding anniversary… my parents! This photo was taken three years before I was born when my parents were almost 10 years younger than I am now.

Lordy Lordy, do I love me some x-mas deco!  Only 29 days till Christmas and I’ve given up on the idea of waiting until Dec 1st to decorate.  I want my Christmas deco nowwwww!  Ok, I admit, I’ve already started.  So what?!  It’s just a few ceramic houses… For the last two weeks since we got back from Canada Xander …

HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY!! Today is mother’s day and I got to spend it with my mother for the first time in years. We got up this morning and had a nice breakfast and watched Coronation Street, which she LOVES. I really must admit I liked it more than I imagined I would. In just that one show I found myself …

I’m in Canada, yay!! I’m really tired so don’t know how much I’ll have to say. “Project Baby” was a no-go yet again *Sigh* Everyone who says trying is fun lies.. sex is fun, sex with a purpose other than an orgasm is not. I’m trying not to get too obsessed about it but it gets tiring every month wondering …

The sun is shining today in Holland and I can’t be arsed to do anything. I’m feeling soooo lazy.. not that this is a rare occurance of course. It’s pretty much a constant state, but I mean where would I go? Getting groceries can only get so exciting. On the plus side, they have chocolate there.. which I am craving …
