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…

Puppy love
We pined for her while we were away. She missed us for about a day and then got over it, ’cause Grama had the treats and filled her bowl! I’m sure she’s well over 80 lbs now. AT 8 MONTHS OLD. I really can’t fathom the idea of her continuing to grow, but it’s a…
Back from the deep dark woods
I’ve been a very tardy blogger lately. But I have a good reason! Chris and I just got back from an epic journey with our friend Mike via canoe through Wabakimi Provincial Park, located about 4 hours north of Thunder Bay, Ontario near the town of Armstrong (and north of the 50th parallel). Now I…
Still on Newfoundland time
By that I mean I’m still trying to maintain that easy going differently-paced attitude. I don’t want to imply Newfoundlanders are a laid back bunch — in fact they’re quite the opposite. I don’t know if there’s a more hardy, hard-working bunch actually. Perhaps it’s all the hardships they have faced, but you won’t meet…
Rested and rejuvenated
So I’ve been MIA from the blogosphere yet again but for good reason. Firstly, I’ve been migrating to a new laptop which hast taken some time to get my Aperture library moved (and to learn Aperture 3, which has been completely overhauled from version 2), getting other software installed and bookmarks and address books ported…
What have I gotten myself into?
Yeah, I know, she’s super cute. She’s friggin’ adorable. She’s smart as a whip. Hilarious to watch. But she’s also a bit of a nightmare at times. A nightmare I was so not prepared for. Trust me, I love this creature, most of the time (kidding, kidding). But I am having a hard time of…
Deep, dark winter
I know, I know, it’s only the first week of January; we’ve hardly even scratched the surface of winter yet, but it certainly feels like it’s been going on a while. We spent New Year’s Eve in Ottawa with our friends Bruce and Youngja, where it snowed constantly. It was lovely, and beautifully seasonal, but…
I has a shaky cam
Olympic Torch Relay comes to Bradford, Ontario from Sarah Mulholland on Vimeo. This is really the first time I’ve operated the new camera to take video. Because Chris has been working on a series of video modules for a client, he’s become an over-night expert in Final Cut Pro, so he’s now my official video…
Foraged from my front lawn
For months now I’ve been courting the idea of making quince jam or quince jelly from “the bush” on my front lawn. First, I have to explain “the bush”. As I think I’ve mentioned before, we’re living in the house that Chris’s great aunt once lived in, and along with her badly neglected flower beds,…
Fun times with DOF in video
I joined Vimeo and posted a silly little video Chris took with the new camera. It’s really of nothing. Just the cat on my lap, but I love the shallow depth of field you get with the 50mm lens. And I love how the sound of the TV in the background and the way it…
