What I've Been Up To

Mainly I've been gardening, but in my down time, while watching Midsomer Murders, I've been knitting dishcloth after dishcloth. I absolutely love this colour blend, but it does make me crave something in the mint-chocolate chip family. Eventually, I would love to take on making myself a sweater or cardigan, but frankly, I'm still intimidated by that thought.

Life has been good, everyone is happy and healthy and we are excited for our upcoming trip to the Yukon. My husband and I travelled there 17 years ago and we cannot wait to show our kiddos how wonderful our Canadian North is. I imagine I will be blogging about it as we go.

I hope all of you are enjoying a beautiful summer.

    Hi Andrea...these are great looking wash clothes that remind me of my mom in law who made the same thing and I loved them. My best friend loves Midsummer Night’s Murders and it is a good show and fun. Oh your trip sounds so good and a lot of fun. I can’t wait to see the pictures!

A Blog Event That Caught My Eye

This looked like a ton of fun, so why not? I started a blog as a way of introducing myself to those who wanted to get to know me better than what my little Etsy shop offered. I had absolutely no idea where it would go, how long it would last, or if I would get any response. As it turns out, none of that matters. I just love to do it. And I love reading the blogs of others as well. It's far better than TV. Click on the picture for all the details, and to register your blog. Here is what I'm offering up as my giveaway. A stone necklace with various findings. All findings are silver plated and it has no clasp because it measures a long 33 inches. I can not wait to see what everyone else is doing.

Yesterday, Old Man Winter decided to correct his oversight in our corner of the world, and deposited between 6 and 8 inches of snow.  It looked light and fluffy, but it was actually very dense and it took a lot of work on my husband's part to tidy up the driveway. The prairie I walk in out back was so completely whited out, it seemed as though I was getting nowhere, even though I could clearly feel the muscles in my legs straining to get me through the snow.  It is actually quite dizzying to be looking at nothing but pure white and trying to move forward.  I had ...
