I guess if my new year’s resolution had been to blog more often, or at least regularly, I’d be failing miserably. Thankfully I didn’t set myself up for such failure! I blame the post-holiday lull. It’s not that I have nothing to say, just no motivation to get online and say it. But here we…

Sick puppy and some knitting FAIL (and success)
After an epic holiday party on Saturday night at the home of Ecoholic with great friends, great food and great tunes, Chris and I expected to get down to business on Sunday and get this attic insulated already. All the weather reports suggested the conditions would be precipitation-free, but we woke up, hungover, to discover…
The negligent blogger
I’m still here! Really! Just super crazy insanely busy. Have I mentioned before November is my busiest work month? Throw in the Christmas shopping, home renos and a holiday knitting project list, and well, I’m either running around like a soccer mom or parking my ass in front of the TV with some knitting. I…
Dia de los muertos altar
On Halloween we checked out Wychwood Barns for a small Dia de los muertos celebration (Day of the Dead). There was all kinds of Mexican food being prepared, crafts for sale, performances and an altar being built. There was a wide range of people there, and they were burning a smudge incense in the altar….
Right before she tried to eat it
It’s nearly Halloween! And Luna is ready.
Sleepless in Toronto
Nuit Blanche Toronto 2010 from Sarah Mulholland on Vimeo. Last night Toronto celebrated five years of white nights, and for the first time in the history of Scotiabank Nuit Blanche I was not obligated to be at work for at least part of it. Usually I’m at least partially involved in helping get set up…
The newest member of the fam
My new little baby niece Vaughn was born on August 25. I got to meet her last weekend as we celebrated her older brother’s 2nd b-day. I was able to give her the first quilt I made, finished earlier this summer in anticipation of her arrival. She pretty much looked like this the whole time…
Our next beer pilgrimage: New Glarus
On our way back from Wabakimi this year Chris and I took the long route home via the south shore of Lake Superior, specifically so we could hit the northern tip of Wisconsin and score some Belgian Red, what Chris calls the best beer he has ever had. It was a marathon drive with really…
Luna Tuna really is a fish
So our Luna Tuna (as we like to call her) is growing up super fast. Hard to believe that we’ve only had her for about 7 months, and that she’s already so grown-up looking. I used to carry her our for piddles at 3 a.m. when she was only 15 lbs! Now she’s pushing 85…
Totally addicted
So I know I posted a while back about a finished quilt top, but not the actual finished quilt. I did finish it months ago, but it’s waiting for a special someone to arrive into the world, and that special someone is due to arrive TOMORROW! So stay tuned! In the meantime, I’ve finished a…
