Filligree from Woolly Wormhead Lucky Friday was very active because…… 1. Woolly Wormhead sent me two new patterns. I always love seeing Ruth’s work. It is so creative, so tasteful and yet so easy to knit! 2. Company is coming for dinner and dinner is made! 3. Nothing like company coming to make you clean […]
Dryad from Woolly Wormhead OK, I think that it’s time to move to a higher plane. I know that getting out of parking spots, fixing wiper blades for rear windows, buying Cranberry scones etc… is the stuff of life; but, every once in a while we need to be catapulted out of the mundane, however,
I’m having to turn over every stone or chunk of ice to find a little luck in an otherwise dreary week; but…. 1. I managed to fix the windshield wiper on my rear window. The ice build up had pulled the rubber away from the housing. At first I thought that it was “finished”; but
It’s milder today, but a little grey so we may have to work a little harder at being lucky! 1. Fortunately, I got a return e-mail from another knitter who had been at Vogueknitting live. She also said that Lynette’s entry was fantastic and should have won! 2. My eye exam went well today. I
This has to be a lucky day, it’s Robbie Burns’ day and… 1. Luckily, Kim Finlay posted to my Facebook Wall the fact that an unpublished letter from Robbie Burns had been found under some floors boards in a castle in the South of Scotland. I love these lucky finds! 2. I was able to
…..but one! I just had to show you in detail, Lynette’s submission to Vogue Knitting Live. Out of 100 entries, this was first runner up. All submissions had to be done in mohair, because a South African mohair company was the sponsor. Mohair was easy for Lynette, she works with it all the time. These
1. I finally got a chance to look at a video that Lynda Gemmell of Cabin Fever sent me. You’ll love this. It’s about getting people to climb stairs rather than use the escalator. It’s all about making things “fun.” My friends do have some lucky finds. 2. Picture postcard snowfall again today. My car
Robbie Burns’ statue in Allan Gardens Toronto I posted, a few years ago, a tribute to Robert Burns and I dug out a lot of “plaid” knitting projects at that time. He is one of my favourite poets, because he has preserved through his poetry the language of the common man, or at least the
Well, it looks like it could be a lucky day today. It’s gorgeously sunny, but -20C, this is really unusually cold for Toronto! So we will have indoor luck today! 1. Fortunately the Sunday paper had a very interesting article on a man who bought 40,000 negatives at an auction. Now, I ask – would
Amaryllis Jan 22, 2011 It’s Saturday! I have my Lottery ticket and…….. 1. Luckily, I managed to find a birthday card (it only took 5 stores) that didn’t tell the 17-teen-year-old turning 18, to “go wild” or worse on his birthday. What ever happened to jokes about Acne – maybe that’s not funny to an
