Marzipan – that sweet almond paste – divides the world into two groups – those who hate it and those who love it. I happen to LOVE it. I especially like croissants stuffed with marzipan, Christmas cake iced with it, candies filled with it and confections shaped in it……I could go on. Well you can imagine […]
I haven’t posted in a while because my brain has been frozen. For the past few weeks, I have been debating whether to by a Mac laptop and this is all that I’ve been able to think about. Do I really have to spend $1,500.00 to be able to edit videos and maybe do a
This has to be the coolest name that I have ever come across for a yarn store. It was in the old town of Barcelona and I nearly missed it. We were walking through these narrow winding alleyways and I was looking for interesting shots of gargoyles, when my husband said, “look a yarn store

It’s one of two woodpeckers on a metal “tree trunk” – a sculpture near the CNtower and the Skydome in Toronto. We were down there buying a “Blue Jay’s” (baseball) related gift for our daughter and I just couldn’t resist
This is what I posted for “family” in the photo scavenger hunt. They are in the little Estonian deli near where I work. We haven’t had a substantial snowfall yet so no “real” snowmen. But these are pretty cute. It always amazes me how different cultures interpret similar things. These are presumably a northern European
This is what I posted for Lights in the photo challenge. It’s the cedar tree in front of our house, that we decorate every year with blue lights. Actually, the tree is one of those “things” that just happened. We once had a spreading cedar bush there and had to move it – taking up too much space – didn’t
