The Block Twins have been waiting for this day since July 30 last year when a rocket launched from Florida carrying the newest robotic explorer to Mars! Today was the day that Perseverance was scheduled for landing…
It’s been a year since a state of emergency was declared here in BC – schools were closed for months, but classes did resume in September last year. The Quimper Hittys actually enjoy schoolwork, and though they prefer going to school, learning at home is good too!
It’s a few days past Valentine’s day, but Vanilla is not ready to change out of her valentine outfit yet. It fits perfectly, is so comfy and makes her think of the kind friends who made the dress and hat…and it matches the new special occasion apron!
Two years ago my very favourite linen shirt was wearing out, so I darned the holes, then darned the darns. Sigh. At some point or other it became so worn out in so many places, I decided to do a lovely Boro-style patch like my friend up the hill does (Onesmallstitch.wordpress.com). I found some patches, pinned them into place, but it seemed I could never find a moment to begin, and the shirt sat accusingly in my mending pile for another year.
Recently I decided to go in a totally different direction.
The Comox Valley Hittys came for a visit with their human…(they don’t live in the Comox Valley any more, but we kept the name so the tags and categories will still work as links)
