Our Sixth month old

More Sewin

Here's my latest project for Emma. Very organic and lots of ripping out and it looks good if not entirely even or straight.

We had fun with Grandma...

squeeze time

went to bed early and so up early too...with a so far so good snuglet on my lap.

Been reading "Slow death br Rubber Duck" inspired to make lots of changes..fragrance free, cast iron pans

also read "a spring without bees" = organic gardening for me.

Reading

Murder at the Mendel by Gail Bowen

I've decided that I've milked the vampire world for all its worth and I've moved back to mysteries. This one was interesting. Very Canadian and a lot of dead bodies littering the stage by the end. Interesting enough for me to want to read the next one anyway.

Last stop Sunnyside : a Dana Leoni mystery by Pat Capponi
More Canadian lit since I got my picks from CBC. The lead flirting with the detective which reminds me of another book I read recently but which I can't remember the name of which is kind of frustrating and is part of the impetus for me to write some of this down.
I've been doing some fun sewing too. I made some fun hats and then came up with this great idea for tshirts for their brothers. Pictures to come and more tshirts cause that part was really fun.

I still hate Higglytown Hereos

unfortunetly the theme song is even deeper in my psyche. and it really bugs the girls when I start to sing it... which is kind of funny.

E's pictures taken on her camera

pretty artsy fartsy huh?

TV

Just watched being Erica (episode 105 it is cool that I got to watch it on my computer): the show is fairly lame but I wanted something to watch while I was cutting out my pattern for Emma's pants. What has happened to tv?

Out on the town

Tony was sick yesterday so my day out had to wait until this afternoon but away I did get.

I started out on impulse in Inglewood at the Arts on Atlantic gallery. One of the things they carry beside lots of local artists is book art. Some of it is beautifully illustrated books like "Wind in the Willows" but much more interesting were the blank books bound by local artisans and the small art filled books that reminded me of the ones made by Mrs Mittens.

Then I bought fancy dancy hot chocolate by Dufflet from their small indulgences line.. ooh they had a lot of tempting things on offer. This was at Savour. I had even recently seen a recipe that called for Japanese breadcrumbs and people call them panko please.

Now the smore that I ate at Choklat was so divine. They make their own choc from their single source beans... it should be so snooty but it is just so good. They make your truffles to order. Deb you have to try the smores when you're down this week.

Then I headed over to my original destination Puddingyarn where I immediately had to sit down and breastfeed the babe. Then I wandered around and soaked in the lovely lovelies and bought a couple things from the sale table. Woowee while I was there one person spent $217 and the other $130 for their seemingly small pile of balls.

And then home town week at Good Earth to finish it off. There was no white chocolate in my scone. I was shocked and appalled.
