Day 5. A big storm is on the way tomorrow afternoon, so there is a strong possibility I will have a snowday the next day. Wow. How much hooking can I get done in a snowday? Lots and lots. Turn on the crock pot, a big pot-o-tea and I’m good to go. Even if I [...]
He thought he saw a Garden-door That opened with a key: He looked again, and found it was A double Rule of Three: “And all its mystery,” he said, “Is clear as day to me.” Lewis Carroll, “Mad Gardener’s Song” I was looking at my mat, The Journey Part I, and realize I have a [...]
Here is an interesting assortment of hooking stuff… I broke one of my rules…I used wool roving (green) for the background hills in this rug…and I think that’s why I can’t get it done…It is not a fun thing to hook huge amounts of background with (yes I said it, I believed it, but I [...]
What can I say. I love to bake. I love to cook. So technically, this is the 2nd day…because the Fudge Puddles were Number 1. Today the boys requested Whoopie Pies…Mmmm…my Mom made these when I was little. My brother and I loved them. I’ve tweaked the recipe a bit, because her recipe always always [...]

White Linen is a perfume by Estée Lauder. I used to wear it a long time ago. It was a very fresh and summery fragrance. The song “Dreams” by Heart mentions White Linen in the lyrics as well. But I am not going to go on about White Linen, I want to talk about linen [...]
There, there, that wasn’t so bad now, was it? I seem to have linked these words with an old dentist…and yes it was…:) But the Lamb Tongue border was not so bad, actually it was kind of fun towards the end, when I got a better grasp of the blanket stitch. Now, mind you, it [...]
Many of you are asking, “Where can I eat/stay/play in Nova Scotia?” I will try to gather up my personal favourites of these very things and post them here when I can. Number 1 on my list is the quaint Nova Scotia shop called From My Nova Scotia Heart My Nova Scotia Heart webspace here. [...]
The fun part, is cutting out all the little lamb’s tongues. I have good sharp scissors too, because I hide them. I hide them because I probably “lose” 10 pairs of scissors a year. I think we have “scissor elves” who come and steal them…they wreak havoc but they never run with scissors… Eventually I [...]
