Sometimes I'm overwhelmed







This isn't even a good representation of all the wool at Romni. I've spent hours here just admiring and being inspired by all the different types of yarn. They also have hundreds of books, and anything you'd need to knit, crochet, spin and felt.

The Japanese Paper Place





The Japanese Paper Place is one of my favourite stores in Toronto. You can see why!

TM found a nice poem, we placed it on the inside cover, and the other side was for people to sign. Simple and elegant

Yesterday at work, I had one of the greatest underpressure projects. One of our clients is getting married this weekend, and the office wanted to send a special card. So I got to make a trip to one of my favourite stores, The Japanese Paper Place, and then spend an hour making this card (along with TM).

stickem' ups and Canada Post

Yesterday I made a trip to the post office, to mail my "stickem' ups" around the globe. The nice post office employee told me to repackage some of the items. A package under 100grams within Canada, has a difference of over $5.00 if its over 2cm thick meaning I can't double up the magnets on the backside. Therefore, if you get your magnets and it looks like someone opened the package and restapled it, that someone was me, and thats what I did solely to flatten out the package.

Deadwood is watching over the magnets to make sure they don't stick to one another while they dry. He's such a great little helper.

I've only been able to knit about 10 rows an evening before my hands fall asleep on me, but I'm determined to keep on knitting. I'm keeping myself busy by making fridge magnets.
