May in pictures

Wow! It's been a long time since I posted! I have been battling with my RS injury, so knitting has been out. I have been so busy that not much crafting has happened... but I've been taking some nice photos with my new Canon DSLR camera! Here is a little photo recap of May.

something artsy....

Wow! The fall just flew by and now it is winter here in Canada! I am kind of wondering what happened to November, because December is here and I just don't feel ready for it yet! I have no Christmas shopping done, nor do I have decorations up! i did make some pretty tasty mandarin orange marmalade with my mom yesterday, which felt pretty Christmasy.

Anyways, I haven't posted anything artistic on here lately, so here are some little art tidbits to tide you over~

The little raccoon is a watercolour card that I made for a friend, when she was going away to school. We worked together over the summer and sometimes dealt with baby raccoons and other wonderful wildlife.




The next one is a little pen and ink sketch. I like tofu, especially the custard flavoured dessert tofu, but I always get flack for it when people catch me eating it. I get a response like, "Eeeewww... that's disgusting!"
Well Mr. Tofu has something to say to you!



Enjoy December and just try some dessert tofu, would ya!?

dog day

Olive was pretty impressed by Jasper the dog's blog by a dog and she decided that she wanted to do a guest post on Knit Fish:

"Today mum and I went out into the world! We went to a place called Mount Doug.





I saw that a mountain is a thing what is full of nature and goes up and more up! I don't know who is doug, but he has BIG mountain!



At the top we could see the WHOLE WORLD I think!




I was so happy to see the world. It is bigger than I thought.



That is me beside the world. There is railing so we dont fall off doug's mountain and onto the world.



Sometimes on mountains there are sticks. This is very good stick!




This stick is good to chew. It has nice mountain smells.



I'm bring it, okay?



Leaving already? Lets see more world soon!"

more pretty fall pics

Fall imagery

Still no knitting... sorry, but my wrist is still battling with tendonitis or carpal tunnel or whatever you call it when your wrist gets all sore easily. But I have been playing with my new Canon Rebel DSLR camera and capturing some fall imagery.



Here on the West coast, we are enjoying some gorgeous fall weather. Warm sunshine, with just that little bit of crispness in the air.



The little puppy has grown into a big puppy, but we think she's still pretty cute ;-)



Hope you are all enjoying the loveliness that is fall!

one more baby saved!

The SPCA paws for a cause fundraiser is coming up soon! This event is a major source of funds for the BCSPCA Wild Ark rescue, which helps rehabilitate cuties like this who have lost their moms as well as injured wildlife here on Vancouver Island.
The event is happening in 36 locations across British Columbia and supports the BCSPCA and its affiliates. Think about donating, or get some sponsors and be a part of the walk for a cause!

You asked for it!

Back by popular demand! The Wild Ark animal pics!



The other night we had a veritable zoo in the isolation room! This tubby little seal was amongst the overnight visitors. We love his fat little chin rolls. He was sleeping with his face up against the corner of the kennel he was in, so you can't see his eyes. The craziest thing was that he smelled exactly like the ocean: all fishy!



I don't want to spoil you with too many pics at once, so more to come another time :-) You can check out the SPCA Wild Ark website at www.wildark.com to learn more!!
