Tiny park in Newton

May 8, 2013

I didn’t realize that the teeny area between the Newton Wave Pool and the Safeway is an actual park. It has a sign and everything!

Look what I found today!

May 7, 2013

Attachable speech bubbles for LEGO people! I know it looks like he’s being choked or strangled by his words, but this is going to come in so handy for the Christmas Advent Calendar for 2013. OH YAH! Already thinking about Christmas. Photoshop? Who needs it? On a sad note, I learned today that fried bologna [...]

More projects!

May 6, 2013

I had the realization today that perhaps the reason why I have so many things unfinished is because I keep starting new things. It seems like a rational thing to just finish what I’ve started and then move on to the next thing. However, this is not what I’ve done in the past few days. [...]

Cleaning up

May 5, 2013

Cleaning up this tiny 15 X 15 foot area took EVERYTHING out of me today. And there wasn’t much to do, really. I swept, hosed and weeded. And then I sat on the couch for an hour not moving a muscle. What the? Even though it was unusually hot today, I think there may be [...]

Modern in a traditional world

May 4, 2013

I went to the Ridge Meadows Quilt Show today in Maple Ridge. I’ve got some photos of the quilts there, but I had technical difficulties taking photos in the building. The lighting was a strange combination of fluorescent lights which cast a green hue on everything – in person and in photos. I did my [...]

In every day and in every way…

May 2, 2013

Donner is getting better and better! I do have to tell you, he is NOT a fan of the new bladder food he’s required to eat. Like, really not happy at all, but he does have a bit every now and then. He’s also a bit nervous again. It seems to be his nature as [...]

“I just shipped my bed!”

May 1, 2013

I got off work tonight later than usual, but right in time to see a huge crowd of Canucks’ fans heading over to the game – the first game of the Stanley Cup play offs. Hooray! Sadly, as I type this, the Canucks JUST lost 3-1 to the San Jose Sharts. Stinkin’ Sharts. We’ll get [...]

Double exposure

April 30, 2013

This was a happy accident. I found some blossoming trees, took photos of them, then hoodwinked Malcolm into taking photos of him – actually, it wasn’t that difficult – and used my camera to combine them together. Tada! The fact that it looks like something white is leaving his head was just a bonus. And [...]

Messing with the gimmicks on my camera

April 29, 2013

After the battery died on my cell phone on the skytrain today, I took out my camera and tried to figure out how to apply the double exposure feature right on my camera! Cool! I found this tutorial (via pinterest) and it’s for a Canon (I use a Nikon) but I thought I could figure [...]

Mini aquarium

April 28, 2013

Ever since we got Oscar, I got rid of all the indoor plants. Oscar dug in the couple I had and I was pretty sure he would turn any others into a litter basket, so I moved those plants to work…once that job ended, I gave them to my coworker, Ada, the Patron Saint of [...]
