we have Marmelade

Marmelade.
Marmalade.
One is english & one is french. I can never
keep them straight. It doesn't matter though.

My guy made Marmelade this month.
it's fabulous and delicious.
So fresh & vibrant tasting.

this is too wonderful to keep to myself

"Now then, you of noble mind,
who love this profession,
come at once to art
and accept these precepts: enthusiasm
(love), reverence, obedience, and perseverance."

(Cennino Cennini, 1370-1440)

Marvellous book

I Love this book.
Do you know it ?
by Judith Viorst.
Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day

Einstein Coat

This is the fluffy, soft
wool/mohair yarn i am using
for my Einstein Coat.
Not much progress to show you,
but at least the coat has
been started. This will take a lot
of knitting before it's ready to wear.




I really want to finish a pair of socks soon.
Since it's still peak sock-wearing season,
i have such motivation.

domestic views from Canada

still lots & lots of snow outside.
But i'm fine with that. I don't want rain
or very high temperatures. I want it to melt
slowly.
Otherwise, we'll just have Lots of ice.
it's too cold at night not to have any rain
turn into glass.

tonight, we move our clocks ahead
one hour for the Earliest Daylight Savings Time
that Canada has ever had.

Today, i share with you some views from
my kitchen.


• A Bonne Maman jam jar makes an excellent
holder of English teabags. (Taylors of Harrogate)

• My "vat sized" mug for
times when i want an awful lot of tea.
I love the Cave Paintings on this mug.

• Finally, two chocolate delicacies from Italy.
Purchased at the lovely italian
shop at the end of my street. They turned out
to be chocolate Eggs inside.
A special for Easter Season!
yum.

italian views

worth sharing.

we had some snow

thank goodness i didn't have to shovel
anyone else's snow. our snow was enough.
See how small the Knitting companion looks
in all that snow !

Workshops at the Museum of Contemporary Arts

The museum
of contemporary arts, here in my city,
is holding workshops
for adults.
Have a look at this link.
Scroll down for "Creative Tuesdays".

I've signed up for a few of them.
My first one will be on March 13th.
I don't know what we'll be doing.
And it really doesn't matter right now.
I think i need some new stimulation.

what does friday look like ?

from my house,
friday looks like this:






New pen and new ink!
now, i need a little lesson in how
to fill up this charming new inkpen.



Early this morning, this was the view
from my studio window.

it's snowing.
And Snowing.
And snowing.
Totally normal for this part of the world
for the month of March. It was a marvellous
day not to have to drive anywhere.
time to go back outside
and shovel.
again.
