Wednesday Market Day

Books, Knitting, Poetry, Restaurants, Uncategorized

Today I spent my time finishing projects, and starting new ones. I didn’t travel to my writing group today. I’ve learned that I can’t make time and it won’t stand still for me. My Wisp Wrap is almost complete. Which is good because I want to wear it on Saturday!! I have to decide on ribbons or buttons to secure it. Ribbons would be fun because I can lace it up any which way. The wrap is designed with eyelets around the perimeter.
I found these books at The Box Of Delights bookshop in Wolfville. The cover is what catches my eye then I read the back and first page. If I’m intrigued it’s a go!!

The Wolfville Farmers Market will feed
me before I pick up our CSA share for this week. Our shares have been packed with the local bountiful harvest of late and I’m looking forward to what I may find. Whatever is in season always seems to blend well in a soup, so if all else fails…soups on!! Here’s some great offerings from Frais Catering who will be at tonight’s community supper. Love it!! I wish you could have experienced the wonderful smells from Frais Catering as I was sitting at The Wool n Tart finishing up my commissioned pieces for delivery.

I have been knitting even though I haven’t been blogging. I finished a couple of projects, and started a couple more. Today is a day of rest, chores, and inspiration. I have been searching WordPress for projects I admire. I found a few beautiful ideas in fashion and crafting. Thanks to all!! Fall is always my time for reflection and taking stock. Back to my usual routine of music lessons and group gathering with my writing friends and knitting friends. The students are back to school and there is an energy in the air, I look forward to. Here are my projects. Three are traveling by Canada Post tomorrow toward Louisbourg for my favourite Archaeology team. The lovely olive green will be delivered Wednesday to L at The Rolled Oat, my fav place to eat in the valley.

Wisp Wrap, I’m knitting for myself to wear next weekend for David Suzuki’s Blue Dot tour. I’m very excited for this event. David Suzuki is one of my favourite Canadians and a true hero.

Morris East

Today I’m galavanting in Halifax. I started at The Loop yarn store and found some beautiful yarns. I wish I could share the feel of them. Soft and luxurious.
I’m sitting in the cemetery across from St Mary’s Basilica writing this post. I stopped in because I like the peacefulness of cemeteries and also because I had the feeling I may have some ancestors here. I actually do. I remember their names from my research. Samuel Rudolph died at 90 years of age in 1826. Imagine! His wives are buried beside him.
I found a restaurant on Morris St, Morris East that has gluten free pizza. The pizza was a fried egg and Avocado wood fired pizza. It was very good. I had a salted Caramel gluten free tart for dessert, which I’m recovering from at the moment. Oh my was it sweet goodness!! Take a look, do I not look content.

A Day of Knitting

I finished the Milo tunic today. I also was busy making a stuffed bunny. It turned out really cute. I designed a little dress for the bunny to match the tunic.

The Wool and Tart today had wonderful food offerings. Ginger and carrot soup which I shared with a friend.

I also finished my Very pretty lace scarf.

I’m planning on posting the finished bunny after I receive a photo. Everyone fell in love with the Sunny Bunny pattern. It’s off Ravelry.

Luvly Day

We had a great day wandering in Lunenburg and Mahone Bay. After lunch at Rime we went to The Lunenburg Makery, I love the idea of a Makery. It is a place to create, you can learn to make clothes, and other crafts. I picked up some really cool design books. Worn and Anthology were my favs.

Then we went next door to Luvly. A clothing boutique that specializes in Canadian designers. I found a cute coral dress by Pre-loved.
