boohoohoo!...

...the Vancouver Olympics are over and it feels a bit like the city is battling a giant hangover after all the wild festivities! Well, I must say, it was very fun and the ending could not have been written any better for us Canadians with the men's hockey team clinching the gold medal in a nail-biter of a game... Ahhh, hockey! I honestly think sometimes that it is the only thing that binds are country together! As you can see, we had great seats for the men's skating competition from which we were able to marvel at the skaters' incredible athleticism and witness heartbreak and joy at a very close range.... all that work for those few precious Olympic moments!

I ended up taking a rather Olympic-sized blogging break to soak in the city's atmosphere with my kids, but I'm back and I've finally started to take photos of my new batch of pillowcases. I just realized today that I've made over 20 new styles! -- Crocheting the trims and watching the Olympics on TV was a good fit!

Off I go to take more photos!...

Your pillow cases are sew eye catching. Love them...

[Krista]

Wasn't it amazing! I am totally feeling hungover, in a deflated, forlorn-sort-of way. I have a quilting retreat on Saturday, so that will get me back in the swing, but man, what a crazy 2 weeks it was! We just loved it.

Glad to see you blogging again - I'm just so in love with your pillowcases - I'm hoping one day one of these beauties will grace my daughter's bed (perhaps she'd actually stay in it if she had something that pretty to lay her little head on) :0)

Nice to see/read you again!
The cushions are so lovely, especially the one on the top!!
Have a lovely weekend,

Oh, I loved the Olympics too! And your fair city did such a wonderful job of hosting. I just can't imagine it's going to be nearly as warm and neighborly in Russia, can you (is that wrong of me ;-)?). And actually, I was so pleased to see Canada win the hockey game (except I felt a little sad for the U. S. goalie). We love Canada!
Blessings,
G

The game was so thrilling, and I'm not even a hockey fan. The action on the streets afterwards was a blast! Horns honking and everyone high five-ing in their funny hats.

Nice to see you back! I'm looking forward to a fibery colour blast!!!
I also have a question, since you're a fellow Vancouverite and have a button on your sidebar. Have you found any info on were we can find Flea Market Style? I was so excited and was counting down the days, but Chapters doesn't have it. Hrunph! sniffle...

Take a look on my blog....

Nothing like something gripping on TV to keep a person company when doing a project, or is it the project keeping us company while we watch the TV?

[Carrie Hyatt]

Nice blog I am in Cranbrook waving to a fellow Canadian

[sandy]

i think you said it exactly right: we were (are?) all in a collective hangover after the Olympics. that hockey game was oh so wild, wasn't it? thank goodness we had march break after

[Insolvency advice]

Those pillow cases are so lovely!
