In the brief sport break there have been 5 betting ads. 3 for the same company. How is that allowed?

Beaver and loons spotted this evening

Work email made me a bit emotional. Validated the value of being empathetic and authentic in the workplace

That was a very good red lentil Dahl if I do say so myself.

Went to check my winter sowing. Poppies and calendula are sprouting!!!!

35 seconds of reset. Rissers Beach, NS.

Happy 2nd Birthday to our Rudi. Not a lot going on in his little cat brain but we love him anyway.

On the new rug hooking frame. Inspired by a brutalist door design.

Ginger molasses cookies, chocolava cookies and cheesey soda bread all baked for the oldest boy's birthday.

In the very long line at the dollar store today, as we hit nearer the tills a little kid very loudly exclaimed "wow, I'm surrounded by snacks". I'd never thought of it like that before 😂

The wind she blows.

"I hope humanity will stop for a moment when four humans are on the far side of the Moon, and just look at some of the imagery that we are sharing - and just be reminded that we can do a better job as humans of just lifting each other up… Not destroying but creating together”. Jeremy Hansen.

Looking at the moon with awe and just a little bit of hope

Wow.

I'm ridiculously nervous about this launch. 🚀

Eyes all good! Big swollen eye = dry eye and allergies.

Sunday night and I have a weirdly swollen eyelid and pain around my eye.

So I’ve started uploading new stuff to my website. There’s a lot so check back over the next 36 hours! I have lots of Aurora pieces (including pins) that usually go straight to local stores. They will still go there, but online has first dibs. Guillotines restocked too. #bsnm Loxythemaker.com

Making Lancashire hotpot. Hopefully we've got some pickled red cabbage somewhere.

I am giving a free webinar on menopause hormone therapy, sponsored by BC Women's Hospital, on Tuesday, March 31. Hope you can join me! zoom.us/webinar/regi...

Looks bigger than it did in that church hall 😂

Found a rug hooking de stash sale. Got myself a marvellous new bigger frame 😻

Too lazy to move a take a pic, but the sky is beautiful

A fun afternoon off. Haircut, more wool for hooking and topped off by Land of Make Believe playing in the car. A truly ridiculous song that brings happiness and memories of dancing round my friend Samantha's bedroom.

Purring is off the scale. Eddie has a gentle roaring purr, Rudi has a really cute snuffle.

Watching (it's on, I'm not paying masses of attention) Italy vs NIreland. There's no commentary which is really weird.

Accidentally took a double dose of cold and flu stuff. Unexpected 2 hour nap 😂

I wrote about this before in this Morning File: www.halifaxexaminer.ca/morning-file...

Very important message for everyone with imposter syndrome.

Since I had kids I've not read much. Until this year when I've read 8 so far 😂 So many amazing books about the women of Greek myths. On to the next - No Friend To This House.

Leftover roast dinner for the win. Perfect on a snowy evening.

Right that's my floors half cleaned. I hate housework.

Watching Mudtown and Eddie is absolutely glued to the opening credits 😂

Still plenty to do on this rug hooking. Have had to remove Eddie from her new found bed several times. 🧶

Power off Power on Power off Power on

Thanks Ed. No rug hooking for me for a while.

How much snot can one human contain?

🧶 #knit

Sniff, sneeze, cough, repeat

Cheesy soda bread and dream crunch chocolate brownies cooling.

Rudi having thoughts about the snow. Probably thinking it's just as well he's an indoor cat. This is not a black and white photo.

After a day of removing wallpaper I'm back at my rug hooking frame and pulling loops.

Unexpected knock at the door. Opened it to see a smiling lady holding a leaflet. Leaflet mentioned god or Jesus. "No thank you" and off she popped. Still smiling. Hopefully I was more polite than other people that turned her away.

Taking today as vacation was an excellent decision. Bed coffee is being enjoyed.

It's melting!

Finishing up some older rug hooking and getting them ready to be framed.

It's Maud Lewis's birthday. What would she think about Tim Houston's anti-art position? #nspoli

Anyone know of a good recipe app? I'm sick of having recipes in so many different places. Bonus points for free.

Eddie has approved this latest rug hooking. However I can't finish it with her sitting on it 😂🧶 I guess this is my caturday pic.
