Dear Abandoned Blog

Dear Abandoned Blog, I’m sorry I haven’t written in so long. I miss you, I really do.

Gone Fishin’

I’m on a little vacation in the Okanagan until April 11th, visiting friends and family. I’ve brought my knitting practice stuff (just learning, thanks to my best friend Heather and the fabulous site www.KnittingHelp.com) and a bunch of my creative writing projects, so hopefully there’ll be time for some of that, too. Bring on the [...]

Spring Unicorn

Our majestic kitchen unicorn – in all its sparkly glory. (Photo by Joshua.) Happy Spring! Doesn’t this time of year just bring out the giddy? When spring hits I always feel like tearing about in a grassy field or park with my arms out airplane-style, squealingwheelingreeling around. The pink cottonball-y cherry tree blossoms are popping [...]
