This has been my first summer making jam, and after jam that I thought was a little too sweet (Serviceberry) and jam that just wasn’t quite right (apricot), this third jam I am really pleased with.
We have a funny plum tree in our front garden. There are 3 varieties of plum grafted onto a single rootstock. [...]
This short-sleeved version of the Jane cardigan by Georgie Hallam was started in June and finished in July, and was intended to be a lot faster of a knit than it turned out to be. But then, who am I kidding, nothing gets knit quickly [...]
A couple of years ago I reviewed the Urban Baby Bonnet. That bonnet is still in occasional use as a back-up hat, although it is definitely now too small for Maus. Cub has also sported it on more than one occasion. This bonnet has done us well, no doubt about it, and [...]
Even quick knits are never particularly quick these days! This little summer cardigan was meant to be a for the cool weather we were having round the summer solstice…and as it is still on my needles that clearly didn’t happen! Just the short sleeves are left to be [...]
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 [...]

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!
Most of the time so far has been spent cleaning up. And with a long winter and two dogs…well, it hasn’t been pretty. I have no pictures. Really, no [...]
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 [...]
