i am loving these new
shoes.
they button up at the back.

Hope all is well with you - I often think of you..

mmmmm

Maraschino cherries,
from Italy. They are
tiny, delicious and sweet
but not sugary.
No red food colouring.
the possibilities
are truly endless !

mmm.

whether you're frosty
or chilly: these beverages
are so delicious & fruity.

pretty package

while it's not meant to be
an easter time package;
this wrapping & presentation
reminds me of an
Easter treat.

snoozing.

fuzzy greetings from the poodle and i

Greetings, from the
Knitting Companion.
We're beside the fire place
keeping warm.

a welcome sight ....

a sight for sore eyes. flowers are always welcome.

love from the oven

my chum has
started to bake and cook again.
this is a good sign.
for both of us.

happy wishes for December

it's rare that i get to
see the Knitting Companion laying
on his back, in such a state of
utter relaxation.

Best wishes for the Christmas season.

one of my favourite cups

i love this little cup and saucer.
the cup isn't very big - and doesn't keep
your drink hot for a long time - but it
is a marvellous cup. Whimsical and
a joy to use. and the saucer is just the
perfect size to hold a few biscuits !

hello from Knitting Companion

table equals desk

let's have a little drink together

sometimes, when everything
is bad and getting ... well, not any
better at all....
you discover something
nice.
Say hello to "st-germain". a lovely drink.
let's have a little drink together.

Tchin, tchin !

from the fuzzy guy

another planet

I am so sorry that things are not as you thought - life in another country can be tough, isolating and damn well bloody strange . -

take it from me - I know and understand..........

exactly how you feel ..........

from one who has lived in a twilight world for the past 9 years .......... a world where one just doesnt belong ................ or feel at home ..........

but then we always have our friends to keep us in touch and alive .........

furry or otherwise ...........

without them - I would have gone mad ............

I understand ..............really........... I do understand

Zaz ;-)

helloooooooooo

i feel like i've been
transported to another planet.
and in many ways: i really have been.

one day this will probably be a big blur.
right now - it's all just pretty raw.
and not pretty.

on a good note, my fuzzy
guy has adapted well to his ultra
urban surroundings. he's made new
friends.

new journeys

we are both on the path of new journeys my friend.................... yours to a new country , new house, new life

mine is a new job, another new house possibly next spring, and a new life style for me with a retired husband...........

where will these paths take us ? life will be different - but isnt that what life is all about? we all need changes - enforced or otherwise - life would be so boring without that.

one thing is not changing though - we will still meet over the net - you and me - friends through a modern medium - not the ''pop in for coffee'' type friends but friends who are just ''there'' and who just ''understand'' how life can suddenly throw up these little blips that make us stop and rethink strategies.

You may be in sunny San Francsico and me in frozen cold Sweden but together we are artists who are joined together through our art ............... one day we might just meet - and drink that coffee ..............what a day that will be!

At the start of your journey I wish you all the love in the world that you will stay open minded and happy - continue to make your art - and will always be ''my friend''...................

oh, my sore head

in only two weeks the Knitting Companion and i will be
moving from our home in Montreal, Quebec
here in Canada
to the city of San Francisco, California in the USA.

there is still so much to be worked out and arranged.
not to mention my tons of "things" that have to
be sorted out.

oh - and legal arrangements are not finished either.
You can imagine that i have a constant headache these
past two weeks.

big move ahead

The Knitting Companion and i will be moving
our lives and art to the other side of the continent.
We'll be three time zones away from here by
this time next month. We will start our driving-trip
in just a couple of weeks. It will be a whole new life.
