A Perfect Birthday.
At my age the thing I want to do most on my birthday is nothing. It was an entirely successful day. Slept in with the help of Tony who got Dusty off to the bus. Lounged around and drank coffee. Made a mess without cleaning it up. Then I headed off to the spa for…
Read MoreColour Confusion
This painting thing is kind of overwhelming. I’m not even doing any work, but choosing these colours is quite the workout. I thought I had it down. Summer Lime in the dining room/living room and butter in the kitchen, but I went to look at it today and for one it seems that they are…
Read MoreDown Come the Walls
Tony has been very busy with his sledge hammer.B oy, take down a couple of walls and it makes all the difference in the world. Now we get to look at our beautiful staircase from the living room and the living room just got a whole lot bigger. Don’t I look ready to work hard…
Read MoreBefore
When we first came to Lunenburg a bit over a year ago we moved to the bottom floor of a house site unseen. Turned out to be the most perfect little neighbourhood. Dusty would sit on the stoop and chat with all the neighbours, greet every passerby and enjoyed the thrill of crossing the street…
Read MoreCustomer of the Year
Things are calming down around here. I am now finishing up some small, manageable orders and going into hyper mommy mode. My evenings are spent making a dragon costume for Dusty. Oh, sorry, that’s FIRE BREATHING DRAGON costume. The tail is really impressive. Now that I actually have time to think I have started thinking.…

Fall has arrived in Nova Scotia. My friend insists that if you don’t leave the house till noon and you are in by 5 then you can pretend it’s summer, but really it’s fall. The good news is that fall is the most incredible season here. The sky is so blue, the light is intense…

Ahhhh.. Just finished my winter samples and shipped them off to my sales rep, Doreen. (Hi Doreen) I know this sense of completion is always fleeting, but I am going to enjoy it for atleast a few hours. Life has been a real whirl wind. Dusty and I went to Toronto for a couple of…
Read MoreMy Crazy Biker Boy
Happy April everyone, We are beginning the countdown to Dusty’s fifth birthday. Twenty one days to go. Being five means riding a bike. We have pulled Dusty’s out of the basement. Tony tied a strap around it and we drag him everywhere. He pedals when we are going down hill. We have now discovered that…
Read MoreThe Spring Wind
I find myself humming, “The Spring Wind blew my list of things to do away..” By Greg Brown. It’s a beautiful song. Definitely feeling that way these days. Although it is still cool, the days have been glorious, it’s bright out at 7 p.m and I just want to play with Dusty at the playground.…
Read MoreI Did It
I did it!! Unbelievable. My summer line is finished and on my way to my sales rep. That was done while moving for the second time in 5 months, filling winter orders and making valiant efforts at being a mother. I actually had graciously refused to do a summer wholesale line, feeling like the stress…
