As February 25 gets closer I become more whimsical about the things around me and the memories I hold so dear. My mom will be in heaven for ten years on this date. I decided to learn to crochet, something mom did so very well. Knitting will be next but it is a pain when your left handed! Boo yah.! For her I will try! I found the journal i wrote as soon as she became sick with cancer.... I was all over the place with my emotions. We really only had two weeks to say goodbye. Pancreatic cancer is definitely the silent killer. Love and miss you mom.

Together thru the winter

Together with your family through the bleak weather is like sunshine. my brother is in the military and been to many not so safe places in this world. So when he has the chance to see us, all of us put on the lovin... we got his favourite Nova Scotia treats...( like mom would do) donair pizza, chicken wings, homemade fish and chips, and a feed of lobster..... that is family love!Be proud of our soldiers they are someones family..

After the Hooplah

Now that Valentines day is over the hooplah is done for the year lets move on to what Spring brings!! Love each other every day... Spring is about our gardens, nature, getting outside more, going south for some of us in the more winter climates... lets embrace spring!

Valentines Day

Today as we share our love with our sweethearts, we also think about All the people we love in our lives! Sitting here in my red sweater and pink socks I think about my parents and how they would have spent their first valentines day!!! Share the love everyday not just today!

All is not new

Approaching Valentines Day, the talk of love ,flowers, jewellry is overwhelming.. new love is exciting but old love is comforting....the remember whens, the things done together because we didnt have money... the cards we gave because there was no texting... I love the old ways, the simpler times. It shows in my home , my design , my crafts and my ways.
