New Vancouver Transit Line Makes Me Happy

I was in a cranky, cranky mood yesterday when we went downtown to meet some friends to ride the new RAV (aka Canada) Line* for free on its opening day. I had PMS, I'd forgotten to eat lunch while writing my last blog post which resulted in the scarfing-down of a peanut butter sandwich...

Saturday I went to my third big craft fair this summer. The first was Art Star in Philadelphia; the second was Renegade in Brooklyn. On Saturday morning (not early enough, we soon learned), Rhiannon, Lili, Becka and I hit the road. As Lili pointed out, we would be crossing the border on the first morning...

Why I Love Vancouver: Reasons 9-11

I went to a meeting in Gastown today. I love being in busy parts of the city during the day. It makes me happy. Also, all the stimulation makes my brain spin faster, which overall leads to more and better ideas. So, yay. As I walked around I noticed things I love. I love the alleyways...

The Look of Things

This last week has been all about looks around here. Or, I suppose it's been more about a thoughtful attention to aesthetics. Yeah, that's right. First there was my birthday last week, with the most gorgeous, thoughtful present I've ever received. The man outdid himself. As we continue to decorate our front rooms after the...

Happy Halloween 2008!

As an unintended follow-up to my tweet this afternoon (which received more immediate replies than any I've ever made) the man, not having seen my tweet, presented me with "Halloween salad". I don't recommend it.

Sheep in Wolf’s Clothing

Neck Warmer, originally uploaded by kpwerker. Not really a sheep or a wolf; I have no idea where that came from. But this is the first time I've knit something that made me realize how flexible knitted fabric can be. By which I mean there are a lot of different fabrics you can produce out...

My Ovaries Made Me Do It

On Tuesday our good friends welcomed the most adorable infant into this world and on hearing the news an hour after she was born, my ovaries hijacked my body and made me crochet a tiny blanket. I am not kidding. I had the day off. I planned to do a hundred loads of laundry, go to...

Flickr Makes the World Smaller

Fun on Yellowpages.ca, originally uploaded by kpwerker. A couple of weeks ago I got Flickr mail from a user asking if YellowPages.ca could use one of my photos on their homepage for a couple of weeks. The message was terse, but I don't get many messages on Flickr, so I have a tendency to read...
