Knit a blanket/throw rug (read all 2 entries…)
Untitled 3 months ago

a few more squares completed but I have slowed down a bit lately, I have been given a whole bunch of leftover wool/yarn from my mother (which used to be my Grandmothers) really old retro colours which I love.



stop negative self-talk
Some days are harder than others 5 months ago

Some days I can catch these negative judgements, see them for what they are and dismiss them, other days its a little more difficult and it can be like taking two steps backward. I just keep reminding myself it is an ongoing process and not going to happen overnight. I am more able to forgive and be kind to myself for the days I ‘slip up’, learning is about making mistakes, if there was a little kid trying to learn something you would never condemn them, you would show them kindness and patience, so I apply this to myself.



visit all provinces and territories in Canada
should knock two more off the list this summer! 5 months ago

I have been to/driven through:

British Columbia (Vancouver)
Alberta (Calgary)
Saskatchewan (driven through on road trip, Regina/Saskatoon)
Manitoba (driven through on road trip)
Ontario (Toronto/ Ottawa)
Quebec (Montreal/Quebec City? Sept Illes)
New Brunswick (Woodstock/Fredericton)
Newfoundland & Labrador (St John’s/ Labrador City)
NWT (Yellowknife)
Nunavut (Iqaluit/Clyde River/ Pond Inlet)

So…that leaves:
Nova Scotia
PEI
Yukon

Hopefully this summer out road trip on the east coast of Canada will see us visiting Nova Scotia and PEI, the Yukon will have to wait for another year!!
