Ever since I heard about these art vending machines I have been wanting to see one and to try it out. On a recent trip to San Francisco, my sweet and thoughtful husband searched out an art-o-mat machine and tried it out for me.

Knitting and Party Outfits

First, inspired by Brooklyn Tweed's lovely striped Noro scarf, I have started knitting my own Noro striped scarf. Here's a photo of the work in progress. Second, in a wild and crazy mid-life crisis kind-of-moment, I purchased a wild and crazy (for me) party dress. Here's a picture of Hart and I off to Auntie Gloria's party. I felt I needed to do this before I turn 50 and while my weight was down. I AM planning on keeping the weight off. The secret to getting on a dress like this (which has a lining that you can't see) is to leave it on the hanger and "dive" up to the light. If you don't do this, you risk getting tangled in the lining. You also have to watch how you sit since you don't want to bend the sequins when you sit down. I can report that the party was wonderful, the food was great, the decor was beautiful and it was great to see people we haven't seen in a while.

Spring is Bursting out all over! And Thea's Birthday!

The crabapple tree in the front yard. The one time out of the year that the tree looks nice. The lilac bush in the back yard. We've had such a lovely cool spring that the lilacs have actually been in bloom for about a month! Yummmm - cupcake recipes! Thanks Auntie Anne! Ooooh and a beautiful apron! Here's Thea making one of the cupcake recipes! Notice how the cupcake cups are arranged. And here are the finished cupcakes. They were delicious! And here a couple of pictures of my friend Steve's amazing garden. I took these photos today (May 29). These are tree peonies!! Aren't they amazing. I've uploaded more photos of Steve's amazing garden on Flickr.

Hart's Sweater Completed!!

Remember that sweater I started back in December?? Here it is completed at last. Except for being blocked. It was ready for Valentine's Day. Here's my sweetie modelling it. I got a lot of work done on the sweater while out visiting my Mom and Dad. Here's my Dad looking pretty good after his surgery. And here's a photo of my lovely Mom... I also got a chance to visit with my brother. In Victoria, the grass is green and flowers are blooming... I wish I had a picture of what it's like here in Toronto but my camera has an E14 error at the moment.
