Stuff on the Street (or Sidewalk)

June 6, 2013

I’m going to start a daily photo series called, “Stuff on the Street (or Sidewalk)”. Last weekend I found this pinecone all alone in the middle of the street and when I took the photo, I ended up really liking it – especially the background. Actually, that’s my favourite part. On my walk home tonight, [...]

Train Graffiti

June 5, 2013

A couple of weeks ago when I tagged a long for a good time on the overpass, we stopped and took photos at the train tracks – which turned out to be right next to a wastewater treatment plant. NICE! Before we put it all together, I just couldn’t believe how many glorious irises there [...]

Underneath

June 5, 2013

This is the only time it’s a good idea to stand underneath a couple of pigeons. Due to the amount of rain we get in Vancouver, many thoughtful architects created awnings for the people walking around the downtown area. Some of these awnings are glass and today is the first time I ever noticed birds [...]

The sunny sunset

I got home close to 10 pm tonight and it was still a little bit light out. SWEET.

On the street

June 2, 2013

After yesterday’s excitement of the Quainting and then the Borat party, I was content to hang out at home today. No excitement whatsoever, just doing a bit of weeding in the garden. We did go for a visit over at #21 for tea.  On our way over, I found this lone pine cone in the [...]

Today I took the very first Quainting workshop with Cynthia. There were about 15 of us in the class and she showed us how to make beautiful art quilts. This is how you make the quilt: 1) Have Cynthia make you a beautiful illustration. 2) Have Cynthia put that illustration on fabric and make a [...]

Home again, home again…

May 30, 2013

We are really settling in to this place. I’m not sure what it is, exactly, but it does feel comfortable here. This is our front door. I’m going to add some more edibles out there. We’ve been eating plenty of lettuce and parsley. I want to add some edible flowers out front, too – like [...]

Proudly showing my Folded Star quilting project in 1984.

May 29, 2013

I came across this photo of my first (?) quilting project from 1984. I was going through my yearbooks a couple of weekends ago looking for a photo of my mom for Mother’s Day – she worked at the school when we lived in Saudi Arabia. I didn’t got that route after all, but I [...]

Angry clouds

May 29, 2013

It feels like it’s been raining for months, but in actual fact, I think it’s been about 3 days in a row. Well, it’s definitely been raining off and on for a few days. I think we were all ready for summer after the Easter Long Weekend and now it feels like it’s taking way [...]

Gardening on the inside

May 28, 2013

  I may be getting carried away with all the planting, but I picked up a sprouter so I can make some bean sprouts to throw in our salads. All they need are some seeds and some water. That’s it. You just have to rinse them off twice a day – very low maintenance. Delicious! [...]
