OMG!!!!!!! When I read the first line of Daphne's comment, I was going to say - I used to work at the Main Office of BMO in Old Montreal. The number of days I had lunch in the park across the street, right in front of Notre-Dame Basilica. But seriously? There is a plaque in the BMO Museum about the Pauline Vanier Scholarship! I did not know that, and I hope Daphne got a picture. That was ME!!!!!! I should tell you that story someday. I have photos at home -- it was a really big to-do. And it was a ...

I've heard that from other people as well. I hope I never need one, but apparently, they are the best thing since sliced bread for recovery!
Thanks to Elle for the suggestion, and good luck to Torri and Shirley!
I had fun at the two classes in the morning. So much creativity! I will only share my Colour My World with you—the others are still ...
read moreI love how we all have similar interests!!! And we have no end to the creativity and fun we have while doing those. I got a picture from Lynn, and she used the orange collage fabric in her butterfly quilt! It was probably used near the bottom in that orange bit? But maybe also on the border.

| Another use of the collage fabric |
Either way --- it's a fun fabric, but I won't be searching for more. I have my fat quarter of orange, and that's good enough for me.
As for doing puzzles on the computer -- that ...
read moreMy friend, Karen, gave me a little cross stitch kit to make an ornament for our tree for Christmas. I decided to abandon my funky chicken cross stitch and do the kit instead this week. I wanted to get it done before we take the tree down and put the ornaments away. My father in law drove a little red truck and my daughter called him the Red Truck Grandpa when she was little so red trucks have a special significance in our family.
Mission accomplished! The two (lengthy) presentations are together! I love putting the presentations together, and I spend quite a bit of time sewing, taking pictures, scouring the internet for inspiration or ideas, and amassing the information into a somewhat cohesive storyline that makes sense!
And I learn so much from doing that. It's amazing what you can find on the internet these days. And yes -- you must be careful that what you see makes sense. It has to make sense to you, but it might not make sense to the next person. Or you may not like the idea ...

Hello There,
My wish for you is to have a fabulous week finding peace in doing what you love.
Hello There,
Hello There,
DH came home a few days ago, but I've barely seen him. He's sick! And he better keep that to himself because I do not have time to be sick. I'm unsure what the issue is, but I went to the pharmacy to get him some ginger ale yesterday. I made it to the store at 4:50 p.m., they closed at 5 p.m. because of the holiday! It was my lucky day! Everything is back to normal today.
After walking the girls, I cleared the end of the driveway, which looked great.

Hello There,
Thank you all for visiting! Back in January I mentioned about some issues with photos in Blogger. I found an easier, new-to-me method to insert them from my phone.
I simply open the draft of my blog post on my phone and, following the normal procedure, insert the edited picture in the section I want. To find the photo tool on my phone, I have to swipe left. I am careful to ensure the blog post I'm working on is closed on my computer. Likewise when I'm working on m computer: I make sure the post ... read moreChristmas 2024 has come and gone and we are now in that quieter time between December 25th and New Year's Day. I blogged earlier in the week about some of the gifts I made this year and you can read about them here. I have been doing some reading and cross stitching every day--ahhhh! The lower left square will eventually be a picture of an owl...
