Busy weekend in the Big Smoke

Well, you know that you are being "countryfied" when you get all excited about a trip to town! But this weekend I am so looking forward to a busy, crazy time. First stop - the Textile Museum's Yardage Sale ! Oh yes, come to mama...I try to go every year and I try not to spend scads of cash on things I don't need, and yes, I always fail, but isn't art worth it? And then off to the Crafternoon Tea. Filled with lovely trinkets to buy, yummy teas and cakes and FREE workshops. I have to remember that I've got a 50th wedding anniverasary party in the evening, or I might never get out of there...Such a terrible fate, being sucked into the lair of dangerous craftsters. OH YUM! I can't wait...

Speaking of craft, I have finally decided to knit the angora booties from Last Minute Knitted Gifts. I figure if I start with something small and luxurious, I'll get back into the swing of things. I've even got a couple of friends who are having or have just had babies, so.....

Spring has sprung

Well, Acton has turned out to a bit cooler than Toronto, so we've had to be patient to get out in the garden (not to mention the crap-tastic weather we've been having). But this weekend we finally managed to get out and do some planting. The girls are making a sunflower house - which I've been dying to do for years, but we've never had enough space. They are so excited. I've been trying to decide what to put where now that I can see everything that is growing already - did I mention that I have TWO HELLEBORES??!!!! I am so thrilled, but I think that I'll have move them since they are hidden by the fence behind a ton of ferns. Is anyone interested in some Seal of Solomon? I have millions. I'm going to start with some bushes along the fence, since I'm tired of the neighbor's dogs barking everytime I go outside and the view of the HWY 7 is less than desireable (at least it's only a 2 lane road through town).

Things have been really held up in the knitting front, but now that I have a reason (and a wee person) to knit for, the ideas have been percolating. I can really de-stash and need to find some cool patterns for baby stuff....although I am thinking about Glampyre's mini sweater pour moi.
