Back from Toronto

So, we're back. Here's Marc, taking a picture from the CN Tower observation deck (standing on the glass floor). I couldn't be convinced to stand on it. I was feeling a bit of  Vertigo just looking at it from a few feet away...

We managed to find THE ugliest purse known to man. See below.

The picture doesn't do it justice - it's purple lame, with the Eiffel Tower in purple and neon green seguins embroidered on the front.

More pics of Toronto can be found over here on Flickr.

Harry Potter has landed

I've joined the Potter frenzy and purchased the Half-Blood Prince. I bought it midnight, yesterday morning. Surprisingly, Wal-Mart didn't open it's doors, but in the parking lot was a book mobile from Chapters-Indigo. The urge to buy the new Harry Potter book in a dark parking lot at midnight was overwhelming, until I realized how much they wanted - $10.00 more than the local drugstore, I tell you! No clandestine Harry Potter transaction for me, thank you very much.

I started working on a new quilt last weekend. Originally, I was going to use some Ginger Bliss fabric, which was left over from the dresser runner that I made a few months ago. When I pieced the first pinwheel together, though, it just looked wrong. Way too busy. Something about the colors.

So I replaced the Ginger Bliss fabric with plain white. Much more airy for a nice summer bed quilt. For me. So selfish.
