5 years ago yesterday we were married - you still make me laugh so much - I don't feel old enough to have been married 5 years...

Lately I've been struck by how beautiful this area of campus is. I walk this route nearly every day I travel to work. The trees are numerous and large.

This cold continues to kick my arse - but at least I have windows while I convalesce.

It's a blanket made of sock yarn - long term project by definition - takes some of the pressure off. Plus I get to use up every last bit of yarn and get it out of the stash. Feels good.

Despite me feeling a bit under the weather we went for an adventure yesterday to Kananaskis - it was a beautiful day and C. got me to be a little adventurous - I'm so glad we went and that I allowed him to convince me at least a little.

Note - I haven't posted in forever, the idea I'm trying out is to mimic Habit at least several times a week - who knows where it will lead

Coptic Bookbinding - success!

I did it! I bound a book with coptic stitch - a binding I've admired for years. I sense that there will be more books in my future. I used a kit from Evalicious - and the PDF instructions included with the kit are amazing - very clear and with lots of pictures. Shipping and customer service were great - I'll be a return customer for sure.

Photo of the Day

You are likely wondering why on earth am I posting a picture of my sink full of dirty dishes? Well it has something to do with a concept that I've recently been introduced to called Photo of the Day. The idea is that everyday life is beautiful - and worth capturing for posterity.

So I took a photo of our dirty dishes yesterday because today we're having our new dishwasher delivered! After procrastinating for almost 2 years (May would be the anniversary of that issue) we've decided to go out and buy a new one. I will post a picture of the new dishwasher when it gets here. I'm excited. But still you wonder, what is it about the dirty dishes. Well, last night Cory decided to prioritize the dirty dishes - he washed only the pots and other large dishes that wouldn't fit in the dishwasher later today... I just laughed. But I couldn't stop thinking about it. And honestly this sort of interaction is pretty typical in our house. I wouldn't want it any other way.
