Nature, Nurture & Nothing!!

We went out yesterday to buy bulbs to nurture our garden – we probably should apply manure too; but we needed to replenish the bulbs that have disappeared over the years and buying packages of pretty pictures with the promise of Spring is so much more enjoyable than buying a bag of sheep dung.  We’ll […]

Mumbrella and other “M” words….

I need to do a bit of catching up again. “Life” has a way of putting roadblocks into writing and other pastimes. Saturday I had a booth at the Woodstock Fleece Festival, so I travelled down on Friday and set up.  Friday my focusing words were Laugh, Live, Love. Well you can certainly feel “alive”

words

Karma, Kismet and Kitsch

I know that these are all “K” words for my “K” focusing day and these are all “K” words with a hard sounding “K,”  as opposed to a silent “K,” like “Knit.” Business advisers will tell you that you should use a word with the hard “K” sound when naming your business.  I guess that

Jay – ded

Well, even though I focused at lot yesterday, I didn’t manage to go very far – as in a journey – one of my “J” words. However, I did book a hotel room for Friday night in Woodstock ON, because I have to be at the show for 8:30 Saturday morning all set up.  I

Ingenious brainstorming…

I met with a group of designers yesterday.  We are in the planning stages for “something” in the future that needed a name. Brainstorming is always a very creative exercise; however, we had a number of rules we had to follow. The title had to incorporate the crafts of knitting, machine knitting and crochet –

Thanksgiving

Yesterday was a holiday and that in itself is a hollowed time – a time to reflect on the meaning of the day. The fact that the holiday was Thanksgiving made it that much more special. I spent a good deal of time yesterday mentally giving thanks for everything I have been given. Even in

Who rained on my G-Day..?

Today we had planned an outing on the Bruce Trail. However, we were undecided as to which access point to take – Limehouse or Mono Mills. Finally, we opted for Limehouse because it was a bit closer and headed off. No sooner had we arrived when the heavens opened and it poured. At this point

The “F” words…

Yesterday was Saturday and to me that means “Fun.”  Even though there are chores to do, there is not the same pressure that there is on weekdays. I think that I will choose for my other two “focusing” words – Fabulous and Fantastic. I know that these are probably synonyms and that means that I

Catching up…

I didn’t post yesterday because I woke up at 2:00am and didn’t get back to sleep, so the day was spent trying to keep awake!!! The previous day was a D-Day – well not in the historical sense – but I did get a lot of ‘things’ done.  Usually when a shipment comes in, I

Calming, Charismatic and Concise…

Again from the blog I am following.  His posting was so concise, I wasn’t sure how he managed the Charisma.  However, I did wish you a Charismatic day at the end of my last post and I hadn’t even read his blog yet – so there is obviously some energy being transmitted. The calming –
