First Bed Quilt in a Decade!

​in all its glory. 

Protest Hat

​I somehow missed knitting one of the pussy hats during the last Trump administration. Remember those hats? They look like they had little kitten ears on them?

Anyway, being on a news diet, I hear about things in unusual ways. So I heard from my US knitting friends about the latest protest hat it’s modelled on a hat that the Norwegian’s were during the Nazi occupation in the second world war. I went out and bought myself two balls of Norwegian yarn and finished knitting it last night. 

Quilting Retreat

​I’m in a quilting retreat all weekend. It’s a fun way to get projects done and be social. 

Whitehorse Rendezvous

​it’s Rendezvous weekend here in Whitehorse. It’s a celebration of winter and community. I went with a friend to see the snow carvings. 

2026 First Ski

​cold but beautiful on skyline trail

Alpenglow

​with the long twilight we get gorgeous alpenglow on the mountains. It inspired me to find a cocktail recipe to go with it. I did and it is delicious. 

2oz bourbon 

.5 oz lemon juice

.5 oz maple syrup 

Dash bitters - I used my home made balsamic tip bitters. 

Chill glass. Shake ingredients with ice until chilled. Strain into chilled glass over ice. Enjoy. 

Whitehorse Ravens

​during our long twilight we have the opportunity to watch the local ravens dance and play. They love the south wind - as it hits the clay cliffs it provides a river of air they play in. 

I took most of these without zoom - the ravens are so close you can almost touch them. At times they come in and tag out black dog, as if to say; ‘can you fly?’
