Pretty Girl

Holly recently went to the beauty parlor. Doesn't she look pretty? She even got a new 'neckerchief. As per usual I put it on her like a babooshka. Doesn't Queen Elizabeth have one just like it? Yeah, I thought so!

Foodie

Check out the wonderful lettuce soup my son Peter made for lunch. It was delish. I made these crispy and aromatic soft pretzels today.

Flowers, food, and fun, etc.

I've taken so many pictures, and haven't posted any. Lots of pretty flowers, some yummy food and a few miscellaneous too!!

The boys are home!!

Long time, no post! Well it's been a busy few months. The best part is that both my boys are home....both at the same time! Francisco is so happy to be home.He can finally get a good nights' sleep.Peter has graduated after 5 years of diligent hard work. He's a bonafide engineer.Hallelujah!
What a treat to have them home. Everything seems right in the universe.Peter's graduation was
wonderful.everything went smoothly, even the weather cooperated.
Since he's been home he has been cooking up a storm....and fresh bread almost daily. No complaints coming from me!
I'm planning to hopefully go to the fibrefest on Sunday at Saxe point. Ooo all that delicious wool. I bet they have some gorgeous stuff to sell...least I hope so. Not that I need any more wool. but then who really needs more wool, we just want more wool.

Our Christmas 2009

Happy New year .......almost. Just a few more hours.Hope the new year brings good things for everybody.Well, just a couple more days withe the boys at home. I hate when they have to leave , but I guess that's motherhood.Holly(our dog) is imitating my son Peter. He jumps up, she jumps up, she's trying to box with him too. She's got a good left paw.
I've found some great new crochet patterns inInterweave's new winter issue.I think I'm going to try a pretty blue sweater.I'm glad i stuck to my guns this year and finished my knitting projects.
Even the beautiful mohair wrap i made for My friends sister. That was a year long project. Not that it really took that long, just that i get distracted and start other projects. If only I was an octopus, I could knit all my projects at the samer time. Peter gave me the most beautiful ginger coloured wool that he go at the Granville island market. I love it. A chunky knit scarf is in it's future. That and a gift certificate to Beehive wool shop and I'm in heaven.I"d like to knit a bunch of funky slippers for the Treat Tuesday Christmas Bake Sale next year. The ones I made this year, sold out.
Ah........ now to enjoy the New Year's evening with the boys.

red fish blue fish

ah... it's the weekend..finally. This felt like the longest week ever. Makes the weekend so much sweeter!Today is a lazy day.. besides doing the laundry, I'm not planning much. I decide to watch a movie early on in the morning.It's called Cloverfield. I've heard mixed reviews. Early on I can tell I'm not to enthused and end up watching about half an hour of it and switch it off. Maybe I'll try watching it later. I'm heading downtown to do some errands and have lunch with my son at a great fish and chip place at the inner harbour.It's called Red Fish Blue Fish. It has the most amazing food,
absolutely fresh!! I have the halibut and chips and my son has the bbq salmon sandwich.It does not disappoint. This place is a gold mine, it's always busy. You can eat right there on the dock and enjoy the scenery and people watch.Afterwards we head to Chinatown to pick up a few goodies then head home. It was a lovely way to spend the day
