For a few years now we have enjoyed the early July serviceberries, also called saskatoon berries, that ripen on many trees used locally in city landscaping. The summer I was pregnant with Maus, a friend of ours came for dinner with a handful of berries he had picked on his way [...]
Oh my! It has been a while since I have visited this space, and there really isn’t any reason for my absence. I have countless “draft posts” but none seemed to actually make it as far as the “publish” button, and many have since been deleted…a post entitled “The garden – early June” [...]
I finally took our winter wreath down this week…with the way winter has been hanging on this year I don’t even feel that late! Our front door is definitely in need of a little TLC. Our ancient storm door, with torn screen, and time-worn wooden house door are, without doubt, [...]
Dressed in rain suits we’re back in the garden again!

I just wanted to bring your attention this morning to a fabulous spring sale that Craftsy is having! If you have never checked out Craftsy before, it is worth a look. The breadth of online courses is incredible, from cake decorating to knitting and quilting to weaving. All centred [...]

I want to draw your attention to 2 of the sponsors of Little Wool Maus; Cubits and Hawthorn Farm. Both specializing in organic and heirloom seeds of vegetables and flowers, Cubits and Hawthorn Farm are two wonderful Canadian sources from which to purchase seeds online.
I knew that this vest would be useful, I just didn’t realize exactly how useful it would be! I think Mausi wears this at least 4 days a week…with everything; over long-sleeved t-shirts, blouses, and dresses dresses and even under overalls. If an extra layer is needed [...]
We certainly cannot complain of lack of snow this winter! And while I do love the look of trees after a fresh snowfall, when the sun shone down this afternoon and I could hear the sounds of melting snow dripping, I felt so ready for spring!
A new (to me) grow light sits in the [...]
