Literally. Today was the day — the official yarnbombing of Joy Kogawa’s cherry tree. I contributed about 100 blossoms and arrived this afternoon to help install the yarn blossoms (and bark!) on the tree. The executive director of the Historic… Continue Reading →
No, I have no knitting to show. But I do have lovely lovely yarns. Non-yarnies, look away now. Yarn-a-holics, grab a towel, you might drool. First up, my package from The Loopy Ewe: I decided to see what all the… Continue Reading →
Henry’s not quite sure what to make of him. They sniff each other, they ignore each other, they frighten each other when the other moves suddenly… I’m going to be very amused for the next two weeks. The bunny’s name… Continue Reading →
This is a unique cookbook, and although I’m not quite sure if it’s my style, but there are a lot of good ideas for a vegetarian/vegan in here. While I may not use this cookbook, it certainly opens my eyes… Continue Reading →
Many chinchilla owners let their chins romp free in a chin-proofed room. Since chinchillas chew everything and are quite small, you must ensure that there are no electrical wires or small holes for them to get into. My chin-proofed area… Continue Reading →
I’ve been having a bit of Henry withdrawl, but fortunately a number of neighbour’s cats have been visiting me. Do you remember FluffyGirl? Well she came into the house willingly – just waltzed in the backdoor sniffing. After exploring for… Continue Reading →
Okay, I’m not actually that bad… but there was a big bin of Lindt Truffles at Whittard of Chelsea a couple weeks ago when I went, so I put one of every flavour in my baggie, thinking I could use… Continue Reading →
Pretty much the day after I posted the Garlerlac Dishcloth, I finished it. Then I had to photograph it with my cat. I also wanted to share a story about my Henry. He and I have a very special relationship… Continue Reading →
Samsung S307 (see right) — I’ve owned it for 3 1/2 years. Evan has been trying to get me to buy a new phone for aaages… but I would always tell him, “It’s not broken!” Even when it went for… Continue Reading →
Here’s the story – Pacific Rim Magazine‘s cover story is about Dr. David Lam and his Cherry Blossom Vision for Vancouver… well when I told my dad about that a few weeks ago, he was totally excited. He started boasting… Continue Reading →

This post is mainly for my sister, Bonnie, who is living in Hamburg, Germany right now. These two photos are bonsai that dad made. The first is “Cypress Grove” and it’s a group planting with rocks and driftwood too. And… Continue Reading →
So I was considering donating my hair to Locks of Love, but the minimum donation they accept is 10 inches. So I thought I might donate just less of the minimum, since I didn’t want to lose 10″, but apparently… Continue Reading →
Yes, I know the proper lyric is “June is bustin’ out all over. All over the meadow and the hill!” Anyway – here are some photos from my front garden: Sinister looking cat in the background!
I knit Henry a snake by mother’s request. He loves it. As soon as he met it he killed it with his claw and teeth and marched into the kitchen carrying his conquest in his mouth. I believe that he… Continue Reading →
When I first heard about Build-A-Bear Workshop I thought it sounded creepy; mainly because the first time I saw it, employees and kids were singing and doing hand-clapping in the middle of the store. When I saw Oprah make a… Continue Reading →
… CW and I are planning to make snowmen this winter when it snows… if it snows in Manchester this winter! Building anatomical SnowPeople is probably not what we’ll be doing, but this was hilarious! CW told me he thought… Continue Reading →
