Spring Break in Lethbridge


I spent part of my spring break in Lethbridge.  For the second year in a row I made my nieces birthday cake.  This year I made a black forest cake with canned sour cherries and stewed sweet cherries and a big fat layer of CHOCOLATE MOUSSE.  It is extremely satisfying to cook for an appreciative eater.


My Beautiful Studio

A couple of years ago I was fortunate enough to buy a little house in Vancouver.  The poor old thing was probably a tear down, but after a lot of work it was made quite liveable.  For my first three years in the house, I made do with a very damp, very smelly sewing room in my basement . . that is until last summer.  I made an amazing friend last year who also happened to be an electrician and all round clever handyman.   One day, he came over, demolished my old scary basement, made a little bit of electrical magic, and after a lot of painting help from my Mom and my Aunt and Uncle, and the installation of a new furnace and hot water heater, I was left with a beautiful, highly functional sewing/creating space.  Check it out!
