A busy hive of activity

April 23, 2012

This is the stairwell in the building of my new job. I work at 626 Pender Street in a 100 year old building. Apparently the heat is piped in to this building all the way from Canada Place under the buildings and the streets. There are lots of cool old things about this building – [...]

Is it dinner time yet?

April 22, 2012

This is Donner, sitting on the washing machine in the kitchen, clearly worried I’ll forget to feed him at precisely 5:00 pm. I like how his little vampire toof is pointing out on his left hand side there. Not to worry, Donner and Oscar were fed. Oscar just walks around my feet the closer it [...]

Guess what’s happening this weekend?

April 21, 2012

When I dropped off Mike this morning for work – he works across the street from the Vancouver Convention Centre – we spied The Joker sitting in a line up along with a guy dressed like Rorschach from Watchmen. How did I know who Rorschach was? I didn’t. Mike told me. Someone reads comic books [...]

“Thanks for all the paycheques.”

April 19, 2012

Our office had a tradition of cakes for every event – staff birthdays, the newest person in the office to have a baby, and the “good-bye” cake for the people moving on. This has everything to do with the fact our office is about 6 blocks away from Vancouver Community College where they have a [...]

PHEW!

April 18, 2012

I wore my Canucks jersey to work today, and so did a few other people in the city. Maybe it was just me, but there seemed to be a quiet hush over the WHOLE CITY. Could it be possible? All over hockey? I think it’s possible. I’m so glad they won tonight because tomorrow, the [...]

Someone left the hat out in the rain…

April 17, 2012

It was another rainy one today. Mind you, it smells like spring rain these days and the temperatures are much warmer. I found this abandoned fire hat on a neighbour’s lawn, glistening with water droplets.

A white cowboy hat

April 16, 2012

We’re a bit glum, here in Vancouver. It’s Stanley Cup Playoff time and, well, I’ll only speak for myself, but I expected the first round of hockey games to be way, more, funner. Sadly, the Canucks have lost the first three games in a row, and since it’s the best of seven games to move [...]

$2 Treasures

April 15, 2012

Yesterday, I met my buddies, Lysa and fabric designer, Cynthia at the Daiso. Just in case you’re not familiar with the Daiso, a) you need to get to Aberdeen Centre immediately and b) nearly everything in the store is two dollars. They have cute-sy little items in there – erasers shaped like fruit, teensy rolls [...]

It’s been a pretty good few days

April 12, 2012

Let me count the ways! 1) It was Quilting Bee night tonight. 2) It was de-stash night – it’s like a garage sale, but without the cash. If you brought stuff from your quilting stash and put it into the pile, you get to take some home! SO…I brought two bags of stuff and took [...]
