    Hey peeps. I’ve been road tripping since I saw you last. The mister and I enjoyed a gloriously sunny long weekend in The Okanagan Valley. We toured some vineyards tasting rooms, dined al fresco, and had a lovely little holiday. Ah, a glass of wine, a good book, and sunshine…bliss for us both. So…you know how it is when your brain locks onto something that’s not necessarily the right thing? Tell me you do. It could be a name of a colleague, or the pronunciation of a word, or an answer in a crossword. Okay, okay, you know how I poke along with The New York Times weekend crossword. Well, this one clue had my brain’s database locked on the wrong answer. The clue went like this…Modern-day capital that King David ordered…

SEWAHOLIC : : CAMBIE DRESS

September 17, 2014 by
Sewaholic Cambie,

The Sewaholic Cambie Dress Hi everyone! Let’s jump right into today’s post. This past weekend was some kind of special! I met two lovely sewing bloggers on Saturday…Silvia from Sewing Princess and Tasia from Sewaholic. Silvia has been touring Canada and Vancouver was her last stop before returning home to Italy. She wanted to visit with Tasia as well as myself, and I suggested that the three of us get together. Tasia and Silvia, who have known each other for a long time, are both so warm and friendly. I felt plain lucky to have been able to sit down and visit with them both. We met at a local Starbucks and fell easily into conversation. Lots of chat about sewing and blogging and travel. After our cups were empty, we headed up to…

WHY DO I WRITE : : BLOG HOP

September 15, 2014 by

I’ve been nominated by two lovely Canadian bloggers for the current Why Do I Write Blog Hop that’s making it’s way through the blogosphere. Although it’s always nice super cool to be thought worthy of by my peeps, I get vaguely panicky…I always think I have nothing interesting to say about myself. This blog hop, however, is a little different, with three of the four questions relating to writing. Now, don’t get me wrong. I’m still panicking. But it’s a focused panic. I mean, why do I write? Before I get to the questions I want to thank Margo and Heather for thinking of me. Margo, from Creating In The Gap, hails from Nova Scotia, Canada. I’ve not yet made it to the Maritime provinces, but I definitely want to dip my toes in…

SUMMER BLUES DRESS | NEW LOOK 6799

New Look 6799

  Hey peeps! Yikes! I can not believe it’s September. August was a whirlwind of fun-ness. Lots of beach time, walks, live theatre…we rocked and sang along with the cast of Red Rock Diner, and we attended Bard On The Beach, a local, brilliant, Shakespearean Theatre Company. Bard stages four plays every summer, and we so enjoyed The Tempest this year that we may try and squeeze in one more play before they wrap up at the end of September. What else? Oh yes, farmers markets almost every weekend. Lots of eating al fresco. The emphasis this past month was on activities that were easy enough to do with a broken toe, wah wah. On August 1st, as I was entering my hair salon, I somehow managed to slam the door into my toe.…
