The Case of the Missing Bloggers

Long time no see. What was going to be a short break - turned into a long one, you know when it stops being fun and becomes work? Yeah that's what happened. And Instagram makes me feel connected to the blog world - so that didn't help.

What's been happening 

- We went to Fan Expo in Toronto and had a fab time

- Reading alot 

- Made a family cookbook for my grandma's 75th

- Put in a new sink (are you old when this is exciting and news worthy???)

- Getting ready for Halloween (what are you being??)

- Sleeping better now that R-Patz and K-Stew are back on (ok I'm joking about the loosing sleep part - not joking about how weirdly obsessed I got about this story)

- Got crafty and made a jewellery display thingy 

- Turned 31 - and am going through some weird hair/wardrobe midlife crisis, I'm branching out of my normal comfort zone - buying jewellery , leather pants - animal prints... 

- Games nights, games nights, games nights - we need to start tweeting about them so Will Wheaton will invite us to play against him!

Overall really I have just been simplifying life and spending time with family and friends.

Wintery Monday!

Last week winter finally hit us! I was in denial, thinking maybe global warming was in full effect and we would have a nice easy winter... not so much apparently. 

How were your weekends?  Mine was spent knitting cowls (I have 3 orders!) and attending a tool belt party, where we all wore decorated tool belts (the sparkly craft I eluded to here). It was a fun night of beverages, sing alongs, dancing and a midnight snack food run, that took us by our old high school. 

We also have some exciting news!! Kingston Life magazine contacted us and asked us to be featured in the magazine - we even get to have a photo shoot. We are busily planning for it ... and by planning I mean booking a hair appointment..priorities right??

We are also going to have a few layout changes this week, so please bear with us, hopefully it will go smoothly!

Suzanne's tool cookies - she hand cut them out!

sing along!! (Note the cowl..order 1 of 3 done!)

Moving Forward in 2012

Ok I'm ready! Time to get back on track. First order of business - get my Christmas Knitting projects up before it's way to late to be sharing them:

Rosalie Scarf: this was for my sister in law. It was actually a fun knitting project and I was really happy with how it turned out. 

Little Big Planet Sack Boys: I made these for Kate and Maya. I can now say I have knit a toy..and never have to do it again (I learned that I don't like assembling small pieces) 

Ok, Now I am officially done with 2011! Come on 2012 - I'm ready to see what you have in store :)

MIA and A Guest Post

If it wasn't for 30 days of List I probably have 0 post for this week. I have been super busy with work, and haven't had time for much of anything else! I'm taking a little break here to say hello and maybe go browse Pinterest for a minute :)

And if you feel like checking it out, I am a guest blogger over at my blog friend Annika's - All the Live Long Day

Here some pics from the fair a few weeks ago (the ones my phone was holding hostage - we reached a truce for now) Note that Lily is actually wearing the cardigan I made her (there may have been bribery involving carebears...but she's wearing it!)
