No I’m not talking about the puppy, although all those adjectives could be easily used to describe her too. I’m talking here about some gorgeous new yarn that arrived in the mail today, destined to become a birthday gift for a certain Ecoholic. Handspun merino by Off the Hooks's Ashley Marcus in Alberta This handspun [...] Well well well. It has been one heck of a week at la casa del Mulholland-Kebbel. And it’s only Wednesday! Where do I start? It’s kind of like we had a baby. A fury black one with razor sharp baby teeth and two speeds — full bore or all stop. Luna, our little lunatic World, [...] The Sign Now that it’s well into the new year (isn’t it nearly already Chinese New Year for goodness sake?)

Not even enough to make a half-assed attempt at [...] Whew… it’s been a heck of a weekend. We got back from our crazy 8+ hr drive from Quebec City on Friday around dinnertime, and then rushed about trying to get the lawn cut and the copious tomato bounty harvested before the rain started. I have to admit that I was a bit disappointed to see [...] Things have been quiet on the blog-front, and I do apologize. I’ve been living in a hay field, in a hammock, with no running water, no plumbing and a couple of horses and dogs for company. Okay well more like 70 horses and at least a dozen dogs. Oh, and some people. I spent my week [...] My poor veggie seedlings!
