project365 week 46...


1. This was the stormy day at the cabin. It made for a really cozy day inside the cabin. Wood-
    burning stove, eggnog lattes and knitting. Perfect.
2. A rainbow ending in the ocean on our way home.
3. Finally found eggnog at the grocery store, which means homemade eggnog latte season.
4. Lovely as wood-burning stoves are, they sure do stink up your clothes. Luckily, we had a
    beautiful sunny day so I could air out my jacket.
5. The office door was open, the sun was streaming in the window and reflecting off the door
    into the hallway. A beautiful glowing pink hallway.
6. Sending out colour samples.
7. Filling orders.

1. Glen picking the winner of my first giveaway. Thanks again to everyone that participated.
2. Setting the clocks back an hour means it's dark at 4:30pm. Which sucks. This photo was taken
    in my office looking out into the hall.
3. So very happy that America made the right choice. Phew.
4. I made a book of instagram photos from our New York / New England trip through blurb. Thanks
    to The 10 Cent Designer it was free (well I upgraded to hardcover and had to pay for
    shipping...but still!). I've made books with blurb before so I knew it would be great. And it was.
    I want to do this for all my trips now.
5. There are giant mushrooms growing in our backyard. Lots of them. Neat and also kinda gross.
6. My new t-shirt from the make-it show. (ole originals)
7. We went up to Glen's family cabin for the long weekend. We had a sunny day, a stormy day,
    a bonfire. Lovely fall weekend.

1. Out for a neighbourhood walk. Beautiful, warm, sunny fall day.
2. Something captivating out there. Probably a crow.
3. And a grey grey day.
4. Halloween. It absolutely poured rain all night but we still had 145 kids come to our door. One 
    very sweet girl told me I was beautiful. She got extra candy. 
5. Yarn is just so damn tempting.
6. I held my first giveaway! The rules were simple...just 'like' my facebook page. When I hit 100 
    likes, I'd draw a name and that person would win a Windsor Warmer (pictured). I started the 
    day with 52 likes and ended it with 105. Thanks everyone! (And congratulations again to 
    Kristin). 
7. All the names in a jar.

project365 week 43...


1. I made a super delicious pumpkin cake for a belated Thanksgiving dinner at the in-laws. I got 
    the recipe from my sister-in-law who got it from here. It's a bit lopsided but tasted great 
    nonetheless.
2. Packaging orders.
3. Tea time
4. Restocked on my favourite candles. I get the vanilla. These are the only scented candles I like.
    Doesn't smell fake at all.
5. A gorgeous fall day. Although I was inside knitting all day, I popped out to take a photo of my 
    tree and the beautiful blue sky.
6. Oops. Watching Project Runway. Not paying attention to my knitting. (You might have to look
    closely to see where the pattern reverses).
7. Breakfast at White Spot.

project365 week 42...


1. We got in at 2am Sunday morning to find a lovely birthday gift surprise from my mother-in-law
    on the dining room table.
2. I picked up Little Miss from her 2 week adventure at my mom and dad's. She was happy to be 
    home. Cuddlier than ever. I learned later that she never settled down while she was away. She
    meowed the whole time. Which sucks. Not just for her, but for us. What do we do with her next 
    time we go away??
3. Back at it. Starting to fill orders from the One of a Kind show. Thank you to all who ordered! 
    And thank you for your patience. I've shipped all orders except one...I'm waiting for the yarn. 
4. We got back from New England just in time for the explosion of red here on the west coast.
    Gorgeous.
5. Just a super cute mini pumpkin.
6. Delivering orders to LYNNsteven (gastown) and LUT boutique (main street).
7. I bought this lovely paper cut card at the Glass House and I thought I'd lost it / accidentally 
    thrown it out! Thankfully it was just tucked in a suitcase pocket. Phew.
