JRock likes these dresses best of all the outfits I have made so far… I actually have some fabric left so I might make some small bottoms, or a floppy hat to match or something. I think they are cute too!
It’s funny, I haven’t done this for a while, and sometimes you forget stuff like [...]

That’s right people - these are origional designs made by little old me in the Okanagan! Not as good as Deux par Deux - but a heck of a lot cheaper. I also made some little pantie-covers out of the left-over material (sorry, I have no idea what else to call them) so the girls [...]
The other day I was “window” shoopping for the girls again (sensing a theme?) and I saw two super cool things that I sent to our nephew in Alberta. Isn’t he rockin’? We sent D the firetruck print hoodie on the left and the Dr. Seuss hat on the right.
Can’t wait to meet him this [...]
My mother-in-law gave me some cash for Christmas, and told me to go out and buy myself some art to hang on the wall. (I also saved my allowance too ) I just love art - We have quite a few original pieces around the house: paintings, hand-made prints, sculptures, etc. It’s almost all Canadian too… [...]
As part of a series looking at religious pilgrimages around the world, photographer Karoki Lewis recorded the all night ceremony at Bet Maryam (Church of the Virgin Mary) in Lalibela, Ethiopia, as they celebrated Orthodox Christmas in early January.

Winter is still upon us, and I needed a quiet evening hobby that didn’t involve the TV or the computer. So I was out ‘window’ shopping for the girls the other day (ok, so, I bought stuff - but I intended to window shop) - and I thought “why not make them some clothes?” By [...]
Today Jrock and I had a nice treat - our friend who has sled dogs invited us out for a run this morning. (Follow the link to his blog here.) It was really fun! We are both big dog lovers and our friend’s dogs are just awesome.Â
Below are a few pictures - we went in [...]
L, B and their charming little girls
Our friends B and L arrived last night with their two beautiful little girls! They are just lovely - smaller than I thought… and surprisingly, they look SO much alike. From their pictures, they seemed more different in appearence. But they are both super cute in person… and quite the [...]
Girls, girls - everywhere girls
We got some great news today - our friends C & J have accepted a referral for a super cute little girl from China - we are so stoked for them! We actually saw pictures of their daughter on Superbowl Sunday, but we had to keep it a secret [...]
It’s not what you think - better read the post
So my dear husband had a birthday yesterday and we celebrated his firm planting into his thirties. In the morning before work, he opened his presents at breakfast. In the afternoon, we went for a long stroll with a friend along the boardwalk while [...]
I thought this was a great story in O magazine… below is an excerpt, but you can read the whole story by Betsy Berne here.
Brookti,” I said, “when white kids tell you your brown color is yuck, you answer, ‘Well, our president is brown’—and see what they say. When brown kids tell you that I [...]
Hello all you parents and parents-to-be.
My sis has started working on another baby room… this time it is for a couple who are expecting a little girl from China. They LOVE their pug! so her first sketches (these are very preliminary) are of the pug dancing ballet. Cute, eh?

If you are interested in having murals [...]
We had a really fun and relaxing weekend… My sister S and her husband M drove all the way from Invermere to spend Saturday and Sunday with us. The occasion? S and I were off to “So you think you can dance?!” while the boys stayed home and played war games on the wii (M’s [...]
