It's been a long time since I told you all what I'm doing with my life. I've been doing a lot of knitting and sewing with a little bit of baking and gardening thrown in. I finished the quilt that I had shown the beginning of in my last Friday post. I'm in the middle …

Friday File 85
We've just come through our Canadian Thanksgiving. We had a wonderful visit from friends in the States. The entire weekend was special and comforting to all of us as we faced our first Thanksgiving without my husband. I've finally been able to get some pictures so you can see a couple of the projects I've …

In spite of the rough start to the summer with my car accident we had a good summer. My arm is healed now although I think I will always have some scarring. Thankfully it no longer looks like the VW logo. We stayed at home this summer just making one short trip to the States …

Here I am actually popping on to get you caught up with our family. I haven't written a Friday post since February, and we've had a lot of things happen - some good, some not so good. In May on Victoria Day my seven-year-old son fell of his bike, and we ended up at the …
Friday File 83
The last few weeks have felt like a "two steps forward one step back" dance with processing my grief which explains why I haven't been posting much. Everyone expects that grief will be hard emotionally. I just really had no concept of how physically hard it would be to deal with grief. I feel like …
Friday File 82
I know I've been missing in action for over a week now, but I have a good excuse. I've been battling the flu. It's never bad enough for me to just stay in bed and get over it. It's just bad enough to make me drag my way through school in the morning and then …

This has been a big week craft wise. I cautiously went back to knitting - at first. Then I went at it frantically to finish a hooded scarf I started for my daughter before she went with her siblings to a church snow camp. I finished it just a couple of hours before she left. …

We've had a really good week. My wrists are slowly on the mend so I've been able to do more handwork. I've been cutting out quilt squares, scrapbooking, sewing and cautiously knitting. Playing the piano is still what causes the most pain so except for playing in church I'm not playing the piano yet. I'm …
Friday File 79
This has been a frustrating week. Back in December I sprained both of my wrists in separate incidents. Since then they have never really healed. To be honest, I don't think I'm resting them enough. It's Just. So. Hard. This week I realized that like it or not I had to cut back on playing …
Friday File 78
This has been a busy but good week. The second week back to school after the winter break so we're getting into our routine. I had a very busy week crafting wise. The first picture shows my temperature blanket as of January 17th. The two multi-coloured stripes stand for the two birthdays we've had so …
