I like the idea of taking some quiet time to reflect on the Winter solstice. Only I always end up reflecting on my dear little Emmanuelle. Just like I see a hot Summer day in her little sister, I see…

Photo Monday – Playing with the Light
Every year, I try to get pictures of our Christmas tree and they’re never quite right. I think it’s in part due to the fact that it isn’t the most photogenic tree. The girls are the main decorators and they…

Photo Monday – LeFrak Center
When skating school starts, I usually get some time on my own while M takes the girls. These past two Saturdays though, I was on duty. The first one was because of a race both E and M were running.…

Photo Monday – Downtown
I don’t know the name of this neighborhood. We were there last week after we got off the ferry. There’s this one cobblestoned street with older buildings dwarfed by skyscrapers. Coming from Québec, I’m used to older cities like Montreal…
Harris Tweed Jacket

Photo Monday – Ferry Ride

Photo Monday – Kids in Black and White

I just checked and I finished this in August. I got pictures last week… This is the second installment from the 2018 Ysolda Teague shawl club. No, I haven’t knit the first installment yet. I was too busy when it…
Photo Monday – Central Park Take 2
It’s been so long since we haven’t had anything planned on a weekend! M goes into the city (i.e. Manhattan) every day for work but I’m pretty much always in Park Slope. He’s fine with staying in on weekends but…
Yarny Stuff
I have a knitting project and a sewing project to get pictures of. I seriously love both of them but modeling them… Ugh. But yarn doesn’t need modeling! First up is some handspun. I’ve scoured the interwebs looking for the…
