after a couple weeks of waiting around for the girl who lost her dear grandmother's necklace to pick up a school paper and read about us finding it or know someone who read about it and let her know, i finally took the bus to her stop and taped a big message to the bench saying "if you're the girl who lost her grandmother's owl necklace, please call ____". another week and a half went by so that when i picked up the phone to answer a random peterborough number this week, i was not expecting the resolution of this whole ordeal. and yet there was sweet kirsten (kristin? christine? i didn't really get it) whose boyfriend -and apparently the only observant person she knows- spotted the giant message.
anyway, thank god i can stop dealing with it...and of course YAHOO for finding her!
VISITORS!
dad and barbara are zipping up for the weekend, and i get to bask in their divinity. thankfully i've had a fairly light work load this week, so i was able to kick it up a notch in order to open up my weekend. terrificsuperfunhappy times!
sock gloves
for last week's do-it-yourself workshop i made up some easy hand-stitching designs for wrist warmers, leg warmers, and mittens using holey and lonely socks. here's a pic of my new favourite mitts! :)
(they're lined with a second pair of socks, and i might actually even add in a third. super warm!)

those are some pretty sweet mittens. are the instructions for these diy things posted anywhere online?
you're not the first to ask, and as much as i'd love to tell you i have lofty plans of posting the instructions for all the great DIY stuff, i think it'd be too time demanding for the dearth of free time i'm already facing. BUT, how about if i hop over and send you a little photo instructional email on how to make them?
