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
Sheep Go Round from Fiber Trends The weekend papers always provide some interesting and esoteric reading – nothing compared to the British “Sunday” papers – but still good. So, I loved reading a discussion, in the Toronto Star, of the King James version of The Bible which is still considered the gold standard, not just,
Not only is today Lucky Friday; but it is now just 2 months from the Vernal Equinox – or in other words Spring! 1. Luck came a little later in the day than usual. I did send Lynette Meek, who was heading off to Vogue Knitting LIVE a bon voyage. I was wishing her all

Adrift by Carol Feller I realize that I have used this word a few times in some recent posts so I thought that I would explore it a little more. Vicarious means felt or enjoyed through the imagined participation in the experience of others. It comes from the Latin word “vicarius” which means substituting. I
It’s Wednesday – mid-week hump day. Let’s see how lucky we are at getting over the “hump.” 1. Luckily, I got out of my parking spot again today, in spite of the fact that we had freezing rain last night, my car door was frozen, the six inches of snow on the roof of my
Well, today was a much better day than yesterday in the luck department! Here’s why: 1. Lots of orders came in today. That always makes me feel very lucky! 2. I had lots of help in, as well, to fill the orders – even better! 3. I almost didn’t get out of my parking spot
To-day could be a challenge. The newspaper said that it was “Blue Monday,” which means that it is generally a depressing day for almost everyone, because the holiday bills have come in; it’s cold and snowy; we’ve failed in our New Year’s resolutions; we need vitamin D; the list goes on….. So I guess that
