Happy Birthday to you!

August 5, 2011

Even zombies can celebrate their birthdays. Don’t worry, we eventually enjoyed this year’s birthday cake with two glasses of milk – because we’re ten years old – while watching a documentary called, “Smash His Camera“. It’s an interesting documentary about Ron Galella – a paparazzi who especially liked to take photos of Jackie Onassis. He [...]

Oh…I love a parade!

August 4, 2011

Man or a woman? My favourite of all the female impersonators are the ones that still look like men – the ones that are obviously men in dresses. I especially love a big, burly man in a dress. It reminds me of Monty Python. Kinda like these paraders:

Let’s hear it for the dogs!

August 3, 2011

Everyone was loud and proud at the Pride Parade last weekend, even the dogs! There was a whole section of dogs all dressed up and walking down the street with their owners. There was the big dog above in his/her feather boa and fairy wings AND painted toenails! There was a display of Pit Bull [...]

Meanwhile, back at the Big Gay Pride Parade, this handsome man had a very good point! This sign could really help somebody.

The Big Gay Sails

July 27, 2011

I noticed last night when I picked up Mike from work that the Vancouver Convention Centre has lit up its sails in rainbow colours for the upcoming Gay Pride Parade. Just in case you’re not from these parts, Vancouver has a lively and enthusiastic gay community and I think this year, for the first time [...]

Happy Royal Wedding Day!

April 29, 2011

I was up early – 2:28 am to be exact… Then I made myself some tea: And the kitties joined me on the couch and watched with me. Mike’s still sleeping. I don’t think he even heard my alarm go off. I’ve been tweeting like mad with all the others on twitter. OMGHATS! (That’s Oh [...]

On the International Wall

April 27, 2011

I sure hope you’ve dusted off your biggest hats, because the Royal Wedding is nearly here. With one day to spare, I have hung up the official Kate & Wills cross-stitch on our International Wall: On the left, the Bridgewater, Nova Scotia wall hanging, and on the right, a couple of small tokens from Saudi [...]

I’m ALMOST finished!

April 25, 2011

The stitching part is finished. Phew! I was up late finishing it…but it’s done and done. Once I carefully washed the finished piece in cool water with a touch of dishwashing liquid, I rinsed it off until the water ran clear. I then put the piece between two towels and rolled and unrolled it – [...]

Beets of the week

April 17, 2011

Dear beets, I’m not angry with you. I’m just disappointed. After soaking my eggs in the beet dye for about 24 hours, I got brown eggs. Ah boo! to that. It’s not very Eastery – brown eggs. I also could have just bought them that colour. Darn beets. I was hoping for some lovely pink [...]

Stinking up the joint

April 16, 2011

Please enjoy this photo of Easter eggs I dyed with who knows what from a few years ago. They somehow survived even though they are blown out eggs. Today I started the very stinky and long process of dying Easter eggs with natural dyes – namely, purple cabbage, beets, and turmeric. It’s easy enough – [...]
