After nine months, I’m so delighted with my cut and colour that for once I’m not hiding behind my glasses. Thanks to the awesome @hair.by.lea!
Words of wisdom from @black_walnut_bakery_cafe today. A bonus with my #coldbrew.
I’ve just taken the R&R up a notch. Definitely recommend this lovely rose! And the lovely patterned bottle has a glass stopper too.
A little celebration on my patio. See those geraniums? Three of my granddaughters helped me in the garden today, weeding and planting. I’ve barely seen them in a year and a half, even though they live four minutes away, and it did my heart good. After that I did some more work, and then submitted an edited 75K-word manuscript to the author. That’s my third book this year and I have two others on the go. But I think I’ll take tonight and tomorrow off. Lots of work to do, but it’s Me Time.
I came across this beautiful message on one of my morning walks. ♥️
Meet Knap, my 12-year-old rescue cat. We’re still getting to know each other, but have already discovered a mutual interest in knitting. He’s a wonderful fellow and, by the way, his name means “handsome” in Flemish.
I haven’t been blogging. I haven’t been crafting. But I’ve been editing a cookbook (the next in a bestselling Canadian series) and it feels like the work I’m meant to do.
Lemon meringue pie, recipe courtesy of the lovely #artofthepie cookbook. Just as good as it looks. 🍋🍋🍋
First time putting binding on a quilt. So far so good, and how fun to work with this riot of colour!
