I’ve been meaning to visit this angel for a while and finally found her this week. She is in the Ross Bay cemetery, which is so close to the sea that in earlier days, some of the graves were washed away in stormy weather. Ross Bay reminds me of a smaller, saltier Mount Auburn or [...]
Well, not quite. But I have been to some very nice places. This little cabin overlooking the Pacific, where Mount Tamalpais meets the sea, north of the beautiful magical city of San Francisco, and shared with great friends, is one of them.
Talk about dumb luck. A few weeks ago, I set off for a [...]
I’m so ready for Valentine’s Day, courtesy of my new stamper. Love it!
Yeah, maybe I will.
Here’s a tutorial (found via Craft magazine) on making polymer clay candy hearts (known to you parents out there as choking hazards).
Okay, Battlestar Season 4.0 has arrived. We are not going to complete watching this in time to watch the [...]
Can I just tell you that it is lashing with rain out there tonight? Lashing! Lashings of rainings against the window panings. It’s wet. I got home from first day of class (Nothing actually happens the first day. UVic sometimes feels like kindergarten.) to find no Gary home. Which wouldn’t have been too mysterious if [...]
Normally I don’t like posting without some pictures (oh, these days of little sunlight!), but I just have to salute Robyn and her giant crocheted water tower cosy. It was due to be installed today, I think. Way to get some New York Times coverage, Robyn! Woot!

The photographer shown in the photo is Margaret Bourke-White, a pioneering photojournalist with Life magazine, taking shots of and from the Chrysler Building. [...]
That’s the name of a dog belonging to our landlady (JED for short).
Good things today:
Sunshine.
Walk with Sam.
Friends in class (and I thought I didn’t know anyone)
Visit from Mom next week.
School perks (Safari books online — for free!).
Homemade bagels (made by my hubby).
This song and video posted on My Fair Isle.
Don’t think about Tom Brady’s knee [...]
What do you see?
I see a ground squirrel looking at me!
Ground squirrel, ground squirrel, what do you see?
I see a mule deer looking at me!
Mule deer, mule deer, what do you see?
I see a baby sheep looking at me!
Baby sheep, baby sheep, what do you see?
OMG!!! I see the CUTEST BABY MOOSE EVER!!!!!!!!!!!
Makes me crack [...]
My mom lives near a store called the Fabric Place, which is always worth a visit when in the neighborhood. They have bins of great remnants from the home dec department. These little remnants were the right size to take home, and at only 50 american cents a piece, they were truly cheap and cheerful. [...]
