Testing out my “pirate boots” because I’m wondering if I should keep them.  I’m still minimizing shoes and coats.  They need it be comfortable all day.  So far so good.


Turkey chilli from my new fav hangout, McGill’s restaurant café. It’s friendly, cosy, and tasty!  Accommodates my knitting…

The handcraft guild at Louisbourg creates beautiful things.  This 18th century ladies pocket I purchased today at The Fortress gift shop.  They make great yarn bags.  I like the idea of having a pocket to tie on.  I probably could make it steampunkish.  Well I could try…
