Interests: My hobbies change as I become interested in new pursuits. Right now I'm learning about photography so I can better document my travels with my husband. Rob is also a really fine photographer and it's nice we can have this hobby in common. We learn from each other and together.
Our travels take us to various places and there's always something new to explore, new people to meet and to reconnect with friends and family.
I also enjoy reading and being creative. I still do some forms of fibre art although these days I tend to pick up a pencil or paintbrush rather than a needle and thread of some kind.
Who knows what lies around the corner?

Sue; the drawing of the irises was done in my Moleskine sketchbook. I used water soluble pencil crayons because they do not need lots of really wet water to blend them as you do with paints. Too much water and ordinary awter colour paints do not work well in the sketchbook.

Starry, Starry Night Lace Scarf
Remember I showed you this skein of yarn in my last post? Now I can show you what it turned into. I found the pattern for the lace scarf on ravelry.com. At first when I started knitting the pattern, I thought the lace design was fighting with the way the colours changed in the yarn. After...
Pam, the choco bunnies were snapped by Rob through a confectioner's window in Zürich two years ago. Although we DO have very good chocolatiers here in Victoria as well :)
For the eggs, I used several of my photos, mostly of flowers and turned them nto 'eggs' with the magic of a program on Dumpr. That's a site were you can do fun things with photos. Glad you like the compossition!

Thank you so much for sharing this extensive chrt with us :)) I'm not new to knitting socks but sometimes you need a little reminder of measurements. This chart is awesome!
I just joined the sock knitters group on rvelry and linked to your Blog from there :)

Shoe Size Charts for Knitting Socks
I am sitting here in front of my TV on the morning of Thanksgiving Day 2009 knitting socks like a crazy woman for Xmas gifts (Oh thank you dear husband for handing me that cup of coffee just now - how I love thee). As I am knitting my Father-In-Law's size 12 socks (yeah, you heard that right), ...
Pam, the neck warmer is knit on one circular needle. I suppose you could also use a set of Double Pointed Needles (DPN's) like for socks, but circular needles are so much easier and a bit quicker, too. I try to use circular needles whenever I can. The mitten is knit onna circular needle, as well.

Fever, I got fever..
Knitting Fever, that is. I haven't been blogging due to schedules. Christmas time, to be exact. It's coming fast! Recently, after a break for more than two years, I picked up my knitting needles. My creativity has been focussed on getting yarn on my needles and cozy gifts coming off my needle...
Wish I had some right now, too. It's still chilly at night and well... they look like so much fun!
Your feet must be happy!!

Peter Cottontail ate my feet
{Singing "Annie" in my most impressive imaginary theater voice...} " When I'm stuck with a daaaaay, that's graaaay, and cloudy..." Sticking out my chin will get me no where FAST, but slide into my bunny slippers and all is well with the world. They're silly. I know. They're childi...
Pam, Rob took this photo last year. We spent a couple of days in Zürich at the end of some meetings, before coming home. This is the window of a choclatier - don't even remember the name of the shop. Lots of shops were displaying bright colours for Spring and Easter, but this one was special because it was full of chocolate! Do you know.... I don't think we went inside to buy anything. Strange... !!!!! Must be because we just had finished lunch.

Happy Spring! Happy Easter!
Many of us who celebrate Easter honour it on several levels. There are religious ceremonies to commemorate Christ's resurrection from death. The resurrection gives meaning to our Faith and that Christ is reborn in us. For some, this is the most important reason of all to commemorate Easter. M...
Wow! That's rather good!Did you use a separate paint for the wash, or did the pen marks bleed? Either way, it's very nice!

Belated Blog Birthday
I was having so much fun doing Thing-A-Day in February that Iforgot my blog's first birthday on Feb. 19th! Actually, I'm horrible with birthdays or any date. Thankfully, my family humors me and loves me anyway. Maybe that's because I bribe them with CAKE! Enjoy some cake and celebrate my blo...
