Product Management, Productivity and Personal musings
These posts are from a blog I wrote from 2009 to 2012 called lady business.
I mentioned that we were in the Motherland last weekend for a wedding. Well, it was the cutest darn wedding you ever did see and although I was struck by some major cowboy boot envy, I managed to have a magnificent time! The bride and groom (and family and friends) built (or is it raised?) …
You heard it here first ... {Chopped up peaches and pitted cherries.} This weekend, in the midst of crossing things off my massive to do list (seriously, I actually crossed them off ... on the internets ... 'cause I'm cool like that) I decided to make a galette to serve after dinner with Lisa on …
With the Labour Day long weekend upon us (and plans for a trip to Portland, sadly scrapped), there are quite a few things on my to do list. Yes, I should be soaking up the last bits of summer (though I just have a feeling, summer is long from over ... wishful thinking). Since I've …

{Last weekend, we stopped at Nick's parents' cabin on the way home from a wedding in Innisfail to pick fruit and harvest the garden. Some times it's just nice to be out in the sun, doing physical work.} The last two weeks have been so fun but so hectic! We've been to the Motherland and …
Every time I come back to Alberta, I'm struck with how beautiful it is. Maybe it's because I grew up here, but I don't think so. The colours are magnificent, especially this year, with all of the rain. But, I'll let you be the judge.
I love being part of the process of book making, but my book making doesn't look like this! Above is a video of the making of Jonathan Safran Foer's Book of Codes. He basically made a book from another book. (Mind a little blown? Ya, me too. Check out the finished product, here.)
{My sister and I in 1987. Terri Whetstone photo.} Today is my sister's birthday. If I could have anyone in the world for a sibling, I'd still pick her. She's probably the funniest person I know and the most loyal. Happy birthday Ann! Can't wait to celebrate with you this weekend.
I mentioned in a small joys post from about two weeks ago that I had just got a book back from the printer that I was pretty proud of. Here are a few more pictures, just because I think the photography is amazing (it was done by the author, not me) and because maybe I …
Remember awhile back when I was lamenting my lack of guestbook? Well, I finally got one, er, found one. When I was cleaning out my bedside table to paint it (which you can see, here), I found a lovely Japanese-style book (as in it has one long page that is folded accordion style) that I …
I came across this video yesterday (well, Nick sent it to me). I love the idea of wearing men's shirts but since most men aren't anywhere near my height, men's shirts tend to fall below my knees, in a not-so-attractive way. This video shows how to convert a guy's shirt into a dress, a skirt …
