Looks like Reddit got hold of this post about my crochet camera cosy yesterday, and the blog stats went through the roof :) Thanks for the Reddit love! I’m deep in Christmas crafting, part of the gift plan this year is the restoration of these 2 photos: The top one is from 1927, the bottom one…

I’m one of those people that can only eat meat by never thinking too hard about where my food is coming from. So, when the abattoir truck changed it’s morning route and started going by my home I was pretty distressed. In this case it’s pigs, and you can smell the truck long before it…

Here’s something fun I found this morning, an online app that lets you create word clouds. It’s free, and didn’t require a membership. Here’s the site. I made mine by making a list of words. Words I repeated were bigger in the final word cloud. It was a fun exercise, I started by just listing…

Day 5 we stayed in Hearst all day, but didn’t really do much. I think it was more about spending a day off the road and giving the car (Tito) a break! Day 6 we left Hearst heading east and south trough Kapuskasing, Cochrane, Iroquois Falls, Timmins and then making a massive loop back to…

Day 4 of the trip was the long haul to Hearst. The previous day has ended with a 4 hour, incredibly stressful drive through a massive rain storm into Thunder Bay. Worst of all, the aurora must’ve been bright – because I actually caught some through the clouds but couldn’t stop because it was too…
