A low point
Everything was going well... and then February hit. What a horrible month! Nothing bad happened, it's just a general feeling this time but I got very depressed. The reno stalled, nothing was happening... I was unhappy with life again. Then just the other day Chris put in the living room flooring and everything was peechy keen again. It's ( Read more... ) -

Knitting, Crafts, Dog, Christmas, Reno's and Life
I started knitting gloves the other day, including a wonderful cable pattern and I love them! They are amazing so far.

Personal Wish List
We live in a consumer disposable society. I’m not proud of that, but like every North American there are just some things that I wish to possess. These things provide me with a false sense of fulfillment… I’ll take that once and a while.
Kindle: I know I love books in their paper form, but to be able to carry one everywhere I went conveniently and ( Read more... ) -

Writer's Block: Once upon a time…
The first line of my favourite book. I'm not sure that it is my all time favourite but it is definitely up there.
"It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife."
