Product Management, Productivity and Personal musings
As you can perhaps guess from the radio blogger silence the last week things have been busy! We moved last week and though it's taken us several days to locate all of the important things that are required to exist, we love the new place and are happily settling in. Above is a grainy/shaky sneak …
{Sylvia Koreen photo.} I love a classic Hudson's Bay blanket. Whenever Nick and I are in Edmonton and visiting his dad or my parents, I'm envious of their respective blankets. On Saturday, I was on Facebook and saw that Sylvia, Nick's dad's partner, had painted their hallway inspired by the blanket! I think it looks …
A great little starter sewing project for me: napkins!

I love flowers in my house but they are a pricey thing that dies after only a few days. Yesterday we had a few people over for dinner so I picked an assortment of flowers along the train tracks near our apartment. I was really happy with the result. I got a really unfussy bouquet …
Remember how a long time ago I mentioned I'd do a garden update and never did? Well, here it is! I know you've waiting with baited breath ... Anyway, Nick is still working hard on the balcony garden and it's yielded some delicious strawberries, a bean and a pea pod! Soon there will be lots …
{Image via just bella.} Last week I discovered Christine's super cute blog, just bella. I not only love it because she's a fellow Edmonton girl but because Christine has some really great ideas on there. One of those ideas is having a guest book. I always thought that it was sort of old fashioned to …
Okay, Kate deep breaths. As you can tell by the fact that I used capital letters AND exclamation points in a title, I'm very excited right now! This morning I was perusing one of my favourite blogs, Young House Love, and thought that I'd comment on their super cute herb garden. I shared our balcony …
