Well I have decided to get my ass off the couch and do the Victoria Half Marathon again this year! I have officially started to train as of yesterday, so I am taking baby-steps current goal is to run the TC 10k in the first week of May, and then proceed to my final goal. I'm excited and nervous, but I know I can do it. I did it before a couple of years ago, I can do it again. I have tonnes of support this time around!

20 Hats for a cause

Today I'm about to hand in 20 crochet hats to the hospital for the neo-natal unit.
I'm very excited, a lot of love and time went into each hat. I have been making these hats for a few months now, but these 20 were done in just a couple of weeks.

I have been asked why do I make these hats and not sell them... and this is my reply:
Each hat has love and individuality as every child is different and unique. I was very very lucky to be able to bring my little one home to love and watch her get older and cherish the new memories that she gives me, but there are some moms and dads that don't get to have that privilege, and upon returning home empty handed and tears in their eyes, I want to make sure that they can take home a treasure and memory that for a moment in time they were able to bring into this world a special life that as brief as it was will always be with them.

ReStart

I took a trip to restart or rejuvenate my soul. I went home.
Now most people when taking holidays go to a warm place on this earth.. NOOOO I went the opposite direction.. I went to -39 temperatures, and I was never more happier!.
I needed it oddly enough.
I did find an amazing yarn shop in Edmonton River City Yarn Shop, and met some amazing ladies. I did meant to go back to the store before I left but time was not on my side. So if your ever in Edmonton. This is the place to go!
I had an amazing visit with my sister, and it was so good for me to spend time with her, and my mom. I miss my family even more now, I had been somewhat recluse living here on the island, and going back to Alberta made me realize how much I miss them, and what I am missing out on. Love you guys!
