I was going to bundle these pics in with the photos of Bandon Beach, but when I looked them over I realized they deserved their own post-the landscape is so very different. Bullards Beach is an area that we passed through while looking for Bandon…
Isn’t that a great name? A few years ago I found a place on Pinterest called ‘Thor’s Well’. Thor’s Well is a sea cave that caved in on itself leaving behind a 20 foot deep hole, and it’s on the Oregon coast. Then and there I…
The second fiber shop we visited in Portland is an adorable store tucked away in the très-cool Pearl neighbourhood, called, appropriately, Pearl Fiber Arts. I was greeted by the super friendly Cindy, who showed me around the product-packed store, highlighting the local yarns and fibers…
Knit Purl is a shop that, for a start, looks very awesome from the outside. I can say this because the first time we found it was on July 4th–so I spent lots of time looking through the windows and wanting very much to be…
I tried to be all sneaky and pre-program blog posts to run while I was away, specifically to avoid the inevitable blog-death that accompanies a dearth of posts… except that I optimistically thought I’d be blogging again the second I got home… and that was…

A few weeks ago, Tito and I took the cameras out for a drive to Peterborough to have a look at their 110 year old lift lock. It’s very cool–basically it’s a boat-sized swimming pool on top of a hydraulic lift, in fact, The dual…
For Mother’s Day I wove two huge scarves (pics of the second one to come later) and took mom and dad up to Gryphon Highland Cattle Farm for the day to meet Kim and spend some time with her critter collection. Here’s mom showing off…
For Easter weekend we had a real treat–Rayna’s parents came to Toronto from Newfoundland for a few days. Rayna’s folks are from Newfoundland, and her dad is a super talented photographer, could it get any better? Yes it could; for a start they actually flew…
Last Saturday, myself and my very favourite enablers partners in crime (Rayna, Leslie & Tito) went for a road trip out to Colbourne to see the Sensei of All Things Spinning Related. Alas, I cannot share photos for a while, but I will tell you…
