Pssst, wanna see the cutest thing in the world?

Yep, you got it, swimming pigs.  How amazingly cute is that?  Can you guess what my new wallpaper on my ‘puter is?  Uh huh, swimming pigs.  More photos here.
Beentsy is offended.  She says cats that lay in puddles and roll around in the dirt are far cuter than any ol’ swimming pigs!    Come [...]

World wide knit in public day?

Um, yeah, every day on transit is knit in public day.  Today, I just could not face taking transit for more than an hour each way to hit the sort of local WWKIP event.  I know all my knitting peeps (gosh, I’m so hip) were all there.   Me?  I was here:

Spinning this;

I also had some [...]

How did a week go by so fast?

Unfortunately, it’s Sunday and that means both hubby and I are back to work tomorrow.  I have to say, this was probably the most non-relaxing week off work I’ve ever had.    Oh well, at least we got lots done.  Today’s fun & festivities included some demolition:

Then we took out part of the wall [...]

Cats…

So very…interesting to live with.  The sun was out today and Mo Cuirdh was just drinking it up.  Sleeping on the windowsill in their room.  She looked so cute I just had to take a picture:

Then I noticed that one of the cats had thrown up.  Well up, over, and down, the window.  Nice.
Beentsy went [...]

Hmmmm, Sunday eh?

Half way through a long weekend (Victoria Day in Canada and Memorial Day in the US), which is sort of the unofficial first long weekend of summer, particularly for the weekend warrior type.  Huh, yeah, that would not be me.  I’m more of your weekend warrior typist I think.  See what I did there!  Snort, [...]

Lumpday, errrr I mean Sunday

My next course officially starts tomorrow, so I’ve decided that today will be all about reading and being ahead of the course schedule instead of behind the course schedule.

This semester is about rounding out some breadth requirements and a bit of a break from crim, so I’m taking Introductory Anthropology.  Lots of reading but really [...]

Happiness is…

a wee box picked up from the post office:

Gratuitous skein of Noro for scale:

Tiny right?  Would you believe there is enough yarn in there for two cardigans?  Well there is!  One for me and one for yarnpiggy.  I’ll show you mine but it’s strictly up to yarnpiggy to show you hers!

Yep, I totally caved.  That’s [...]

Toes in the sunshine

It is officially spring.  I present to you, bare toes in green grass:

Truly, this is one of the most wonderful sensations in the world.  It does seem a little strange that we are only a little over three weeks from summer and this is one of the first days I’ve been able to tickle my [...]

Monday, Monday

So, remember those cupboards that I said were not long for this kitchen?  I came home to this today:

Huh, would you look at that.  I’m psychic. 
Thank you to everyone for all your kind words for Beentsy.  She’s currently lounging in the back yard on a cushioned lawn chair in the sun.  She also [...]

Not a great Sunday actually

So Beentsy the wonder cat was not feeling very well last night.  She had peed on the bathmat and then she peed on our bed.  The pee on the bed had blood in it though.  Off to the vet today to see if there was some sort of urinary tract infection or stones.  She also [...]
