The birthday man

October 28, 2011

Lorne turned 49 years young today. Huzzah! We celebrated with sushi at Sushitown and then with cupcakes and tea at our place, afterward. It was a lovely time. Yup. We really partied hard tonight – with chamomile tea and everything.

How could I resist?

October 21, 2011

I bought this cereal while grocery shopping this afternoon in Yaletown on my lunch hour. I have seen this brand online, but never in person. How could you not buy something called Holy Crap? I love the name! I’ll let you know how what it’s like after I’ve had a taste. Other updates: Looks like [...]

So modern

October 9, 2011

I’m sewing and cutting and sewing. At this rate, the quilt top will just become enormous, but never finished. I think I’m going to cut it up one more time, and I’m starting to like the dark grey with the colours. It seems a bit formal to me…or modern…or minimal, I’m not sure, but it’s [...]

Look at that warty old thing!

October 4, 2011

And that pumpkin is pretty warty as well. Just kidding! Mike’s not warty at all. But this is one of the specialty pumpkins I picked up on the weekend. It’s glorious in all its warty-ness, but it’s actually called a peanut pumpkin.

The laziest day ever, but with good reason

October 1, 2011

I couldn’t very well leave with Donner sleeping on my lap for nearly the whole day. No wonder he’s up all night, running across us in our sleep, pouncing on my delicious toes and pitifully meowing when we finally close the bedroom door (and by we, I mean, Mike gets up, puts him out of [...]

Behind the scenes – a Halloween photoshoot

September 28, 2011

I got busy today and created a photo for October’s upcoming desktop calendar. SQUEEE! It was very fun. And as you can see, Mike helped. Something about piles of candies and plastic jack-o-lanterns is nothing but good times. Wait, those candy eyeballs are pretty fun, too.

This weekend…

September 25, 2011

..the kitty on the rainbow bike had to move in the house. We had a huge, gigantic weather warning on Saturday! Batten down the hatches! Make sure you have at least 2 weeks of water in your basement in case of an emergency! 90 KM winds will blow the roof off! Prep your generator if [...]

The new flash

September 17, 2011

I picked up a very grown up flash for my camera today, thanks to my wedding photo money from a couple of weeks ago. It’s pretty big and the flash is really bright. I’ve got lots to learn about getting the settings just right with this bad boy, but had to take some hack-y, amateur-ish [...]

A quiet night in.

September 15, 2011

Nothing says exciting blog post like a title called, “A quiet night in.”. I did have a lovely night in, reading the magazine I picked up at Chapters yesterday, which happens to have Cynthia’s birdies on the cover. I have also decided not to keep going with my original idea I had for a quilt. [...]

Mooncake day already!

September 12, 2011

It snuck up on me this year, but today is the Mid-Autumn Festival – the time when the Chinese celebrate the brightest and prettiest moon of the year. My buddy at work reminded me of this tradition and he was all sad that he left his mooncakes at home. I picked some up on my [...]
