Hello! What a wonderful time to post my first blog; Happy Thanksgiving, to all my fellow Canadians! Turkey and pumpkin lattes. Stuffing and pumpkin lattes. Mashed potatoes with gravy and pumpkin lattes. Sweet potatoes with brown sugar and marshmallows melted on top and pumpkin lattes. Pumpkin pie, or even better pumpkin cheesecake and pumpkin lattes. Well, I think you get my drift; pumpkin lattes are the bomb!
Pandemic This & That’s
These past two months have brought about a lot of changes for all of us I’m sure. From all I have been hearing and seeing, especially online it appears many are passing the time by baking their hearts out. While I have done a little baking my husband and I have been concentrating on….
My Happy Spot
I thought I’d pop back on here to share what I’ve been up to since later in January of this year. I’ve been looking at an online course for Interior Decorating for a few terms now, so I decided to bite the bullet….
Cloth Dinner Napkins
Do you like to sew? I have not ever caught the sewing “bug”, but I do own a couple sewing machines. I have also inherited a bunch of fabric from my mother who was a big sower. So I have some smaller pieces of cloth that I decided I should try making something out of. Hence….
A Little Glimpse of Europe in Canada
When the leaves are turning in the fall, it is so beautiful. This fall I went on a ladies trip to Quebec City, ON. Going this far east was a first for me. The leaves were turning there although I don’t think they were at their peak, it was still a very glorious sight to behold.
I love the quaintness of Old Quebec City and how….
Food For Thought
How many people, as children, are offered food or something sweet by an adult, when they become upset, or get injured? I have come to believe this is the start….
Communication is Key
Communication. A subject that I keep thinking about over the last while. There is a lot of angles and parts to it, but I’ve been thinking about the importance of it. Can you imagine if anything living could not….
Mother, Mom, Mum or perhaps even Mamma
This is my favorite time of the year where we live with everything so green and flowers blooming. In about 2 or 2 1/2 months time the landscape will be turning brown from the heat of summer. Then there is the fact that Mother’s Day is in May….and the pampering that often happens from my “offspring”!
Birthday Card Design
When I started this blog, one of the things I was aiming for was consistency in having weekly posts. Well, that’s been blown out the window now, being that it has been two months without any posts. Why? Well, that is a bit involved, but life has a way of throwing you curved balls. I am back….

A Done Deal
The little wooden box has been a rather long drawn out project that I thought would be completed within a couple weeks. Well, it is now….

A Fresh Canvas
My apologies for not being real consistent with when I publish a blog post of late. Once again I am having to work around house renovations and that can throw my timing right “out the door”!
Saturday, I started working on that “Little Wooden Box,” I wrote about not too long ago, when I was asking for opinions on whether I should paint it or….
