nooo! you have to stay in Mississauga/Toronto for the next year! I'm moving back in April and we can hang out on a regular basis!

well, even if i end up somewhere other than mississauga or toronto, i'll at least have a car and you'll at least be much closer than ottawa! hang outs on a regular basis are inevitable! haha

It's kind of refreshing to hear someone say that they would like to move here. I'm used to everyone bitching that they want to leave!

it's all about the people. if you're surrounded by the right sort of people, i'm sure even nunavut could be fun!

i think toronto is kinda overrated. sure i don't live there, but i've spent the majority of my weekends there for the past four years. maybe i'm bored of it? it's also just so expensive! and most the jobs are more demanding and stressful (not to mention there's more competition to get them).

i plan to apply to jobs all over southern ontario. if i can live in mississauga, i think i can live almost anywhere. haha

Yes, the first "knit + play" was a raging success! Any activity that invites the attention of strangers is A-OK with me!

Keep us posted with photos of your progess with Squarey!

squarey is coming along good, but still far from being complete. yours is probably complete, right? haha. post picture on your blog for sure!!

i'm also on a mission to find those exact eyes for my squarey because regular buttons just won't do.

My Squarey isn't close to being done either! I did get a chance to work on him today, though, and I took some photos to post.

You should check the Hobby Shop on St.Paul for those eyes (if you are still down?) or any craft store. I was thinking that button eyes may look a little chunky, too. For Henry the Bear, I just stitched on eyes with black yarn, but I think that the safety eyes would look the most profesh.

Have you planted any Money Trees yet? I played Animal Crossing today and all the snow is gone!!! There wasn't even any thawing! And I got a new hair-do that I like....It's the original bob style, but in pink! I look like a raver!

i'm back in mississauga. there's gotta be some craft stores in toronto that would carry them, but stitching on eyes with black yarn isn't a bad idea if the eyes can't be found.

you made henry the bear? i wanna see!!

i've planted my money tree, but it's still growing so i can't shake it yet. i'm hoping tomorrow it'll be fully grown. i had the exact same pink bob! it was my first hair at the salon. all you need is the pacifier my character has to be totally raver. haha
