This week’s theme at Small Fancy is “something I’m looking forward to“….

This time of year for me is all about the knitting. It’s hard to not be knitting all the time… This week’s theme at Small Fancy is “Autumn Sweater“.

For all you folks worried about sweet Ila from last week’s Small Fancy (she’s only going 1 morning a week), she’s doing much better at daycare. She  even ventured off  the couch and made me a craft last time.  She points to it all day, beaming with pride.

This week’s theme at Small Fancy is “Climb every Mountain“. It’s an homage of sorts to our friends Anastasia and Josué who just got back from climbing mountains in Africa (!).

My trip last weekend was so much fun! Even though I was dreading turning 37 (sounds so old), I think I might have had one of my best birthdays yet. I was thoroughly spoiled. I want to thank everyone who made it such a great day, especially my lovely husband who held down the fort while I was away. The kids had so much fun, I don’t think they even noticed I was gone. :)

This week’s theme at Small Fancy is “Pet Peeves”. I decided to draw a page from my Grade 8 year book. Back in 1987 there seemed to be an epidemic of both brothers and soggy toast. Click here to see them! Happy weekend.

While we happily eat our weight in greens and veggies, summer is all about beer and BBQed hamburgers for me (closely tied with ice cream and homemade pizza on the BBQ).

Summer Food is the theme over at Small Fancy this week. Hope you all have a lovely weekend.

This week’s theme at the Small Fancy is “animal friends”.

Two of the things I miss most about Vancouver were in Charlottetown this weekend. Our dear friends Josué and Anastasia came for a quick visit. I was totally unprepared for the amount of happiness I would feel seeing them again… it was a great weekend.

There have been ups and downs, but I know deep (deep) down moving to Charlottetown was the right decision for us. When people ask if I miss Vancouver or wish to move back, I always answer that I just wish I could convince all my friends to just move out here. I’m not a person with lots of friends… but the ones I have I hold close to my heart. It’s hard to live far from so many people I’m so crazy about.

I don’t think I convinced these two to move here, but I think they will definitely be back for more visits and there was even talk of house swaps. So we might be able to actually work out a visit back to Vancouver soonish. (!!)

P.S We also got to meet up for coffee with Eric Dyck who was here visiting from Moncton… even got featured in his comic!

This week’s Small Fancy theme is “new friends”. Mia and I both tackled our first meeting.

This week’s Small Fancy theme is “sweethearts”. Mine was inspired by my recent walks with Sosi. We’ve been collecting leaves on our way to and from school. We cut out little hearts in them with our finger nails. She then leaves them on the door steps of our neighbours.

I think this week is my favourite match of Mia’s and my drawings.

This week’s theme over at the Small Fancy is “Camping”. I had fun with this one. I miss my camping days. They ended when I met my husband. He generally does not enjoy the outdoors… bugs.. getting dirty. Not the makings of a good camper. He makes up for it by being awesome in many other ways.

Happy long weekend!
