Halloween

Posted on October 31, 2009 by

There was much excitement and fun today… from pumpkins and apple pie with vanilla ice cream, to candles and candy and fairy sparkles… it was almost too much to bear! How fun is Halloween! Continue reading →

Little Elves

Posted on October 30, 2009 by

There’s something about little elf hats that I find endearing. I think it’s the pointy top and dangling ear flaps that really bring out the character in children that attract me to these types of hats. Continue reading →

Project Zoo

Posted on October 26, 2009 by

Those that know me know that in my university days, I used to be a zoo camp counseller at the Toronto Zoo, teaching kids about animals and conservation. It was one of the most fun and rewarding jobs I’ve had. So, when I recently learned about a project that connected knitters with fundraising for the zoo, I joined immediately! Continue reading →

In the midst of all this busyness, a little end-of-the-day reflection (and some knitting) was done. Continue reading →

Halloween Prep

Posted on October 4, 2009 by

Unlike previous Halloweens, this year, K was able to choose a costume for herself. Of course, what does my little princess want to be? A PRINCESS, no less! After several fruitless trips to the shops in search of the perfect blue (K’s favourite colour) princess costume, I gave up and decided to take a stab at creating one for her. Continue reading →

Baby Knitting

Posted on October 3, 2009 by

Unlike with my first-born, I have to admit that after almost 7 months of knowing this little one is coming, I haven’t finished a single project for this one. The reason is not for lack of wanting or having ideas (I actually have an entire list of patterns and pictures ear-marked!) Continue reading →
