Goldie 2

She's done! and she sure is purty and so darned cozy!

This here's my second Goldielocks Triangle Shawl from Fleece Artist.

She was a mindless pleasure to stitch up. Much love, sweat and red, red wine went into this lovely piece. She's light enough to carry around in the summer heat and warm enough to cuddle up with in air conditioned coffee shops. This one's gonna be a keeper all year round!

An Exclusive Interview

A few weeks back i had the privilege of interviewing a most cute, pretty, smart and much, much, more type of gal. said gal, was sad that school had come to an end. she'd be missing her friends and her school and she was afraid of what was to come. was it vampires?...sharks?!...no, she said...(*cue scary music*)...Junior High!!! Not only would she be dealing with new teachers, a new building and new friends, she's be faced with the dreaded grade eights! ugh! i tried to console her by letting her know that the grade eights were just as scared as she was. this would be their last year before high school. now THATs scary! you can't stay at hogwarts forever. you gotta move on. school, then summer, then more school, then maybe university, then summer or perhaps a world tour! the possibilities are endless!

Currently IM CUTE IM PRETTY IM SMART AND MUCH MUCH MORE...!! is on an astronomical tour of Manitoulin Island and Sudbury.

big belly beach

We spent a much needed vacation at the beach with my family this past weekend. and boy, oh boy was it ever hard to come back. ugh! back to the big smog! back to the hectic pace! it's as though i've travelled to another planet. Planet Wasaga. Sure, it's only a coupla hours drive from the city -- and thank goodness for that. i hope we can get back there real soon. Having left the rest of la familia on the beach made it even harder to have to kick it back home. But oh, the good times we had! lots and lots of soaking in the sun, smashing up against wicked waves, playing silly games with the kids, singing crazy songs 'round the campfire, gazing up at Jupiter and her four moons. all so good. here are a few picks of our summer adventure....can't wait for the next one!

proof that Jay can make music out of anything!
