mary-jane trials, postcrossing & a sweet poem
Published January 27th, 2006 in cool website, inspiration and knitting. 0 Commentsmore mary-jane's along their way! They look much “orange-er” than they really are.

Dear Secret Pal: Thank you for your postcard (I love mail- and postcards are especially cool!). I noticed the postmark is from Okatok's (spelling?). Strangely, I know exactly where that is.

just another morning
Published January 20th, 2006 in general randomness and teaching duds. 0 Comments“Oh if Life were made of moments-Â even know and then a bad one….But if life were only moments, then you'd never know you had one.” It's 9am (just about) and the principal isn't here again (he's probably at the school 2 days a week) so the classes are to sing Oh Canada in their own [...]
We have a match! The strap on the second slipper is kind of wonky, because I ran out of the cream yarn. oh well, they are wearable! (my feet are nasty. I had about 5 pictures of me wearing them, but… yeech!)
wow. it is 9pm, and it is the FIRST time i've checked my email today. There must be something wrong with me. Oh, that's right, I've become addicted to knitting. After two trial runs,(and not being able to figure out why the heck the heel of my sweet mary janes was so pointy— i only [...]
