stitch and...

Last Tuesday Kerry brought over her little sister. Kerry is in the Big sister little sister program and every Tuesday evening she spends time with her sister. Last Tuesday she brought her over to my house and we did some sewing. We all made little owls. We had a great time learning laughing and stitching. I am teaching Kerry how to sew with the machine and her little sister was an absolute pro with the hand stitching.

All the friends here getting lined up.
















Here is Kerry with her little sister.

My little owl was so happy to make some friends that he grew a mustache

success

look the plant stand is already a huge success

urban gardeners

The newest addition to our neighborhood. This is our wee little plant stand. You can find all sorts of tomato plant,  herbs, catnip, perenials and more...
 The catnip has been quality tested by Enoki and meets High standards of excellence.

Drop by and have a gander and stop for a cup of tea too..

Wake Board competition

Today we decided to head out to the beach. Witty's Lagoon was the site of a skim board competition. Josh has decided to learn skim boarding in the last few months. Me not so much. More or less I run, I throw the board, I take deep breath and then crumple into smaller less brave Adria and run away. After today though I'm feeling a little more inspired.

Today was my first real attempt at any kind of sporting event photography. It was fun. Blurry fun.

There were a few others there with there giant lenses. Coincidentally they were all men. Kinda creepy though, you know what they say about those guys with the big lenses...

I got some fun shots of the girls. They seem to be a little more about style and less about getting the biggest baddest jumps.

There were a few kids there too. One little guy was so enthusiastic about skim boarding he couldn't keep his clothes on. Sorry no picture.

My favorite of the day of course was Josh. I might be a little bias...

Social media marketting

Islandartiste is on its way. I have entered the realm on social media marketing. I am a business woman and so apparently I must conform. OK maybe all this social media is a little fun. And frankly I am a bit of a blog fiend. I love them. So why not have one of my own for all the world to see.

I actually have had this blog for a few years now. I haven't been using it all that well and it's been a secret. SHhhhhhhh. Well I have brought it out for all the people to see. Please be kind. I am prone to spelling mistakes.

One thing I love blogs for is a resource tool. You can find anything and everything you need to find on someones blog somewhere. Even the advertisements can be of use. So I intend to make this blog useful and please if you would like to put a link on page please let me know and ill see what I can do.

I will leave you with a a family photo from a recent trip to North Pacific Cannery just outside of Prince Rupert. We were all in out family hometown for the 100th homecoming celebration.
