Last week, I had the opportunity to see ‘The Galileo Project: Music of the Spheres’ by Canada’s own, Tafelmusik which is one of the best baroque orchestras in the world. I know I’m a little late in posting my review of it but I just have to share this experience with everyone. While I was […]
Let’s Dance!
The Toon Town Big Band was invited to play at the University of Saskatchewan Ballroom Dance Club’s annual Christmas dance, Mistletoes on November 24th. I have to admit that although I was quite nervous about it at first, it turned out to be an absolute blast. I don’t think that I’ve ever played to hard […]
Pictures of Saskatoon
In addition to this site, I also run www.toontownbigband.com which belongs to the band that I’m lucky enough to be playing in right now. I’m still learning about websites and website design but there was one thing that always bugged me about the band’s website’s set up: the banner. It’s something that I’ve always taken […]
A Piece of History
Several years ago, my parents went to my mom’s hometown – Skopje, Macedonia – for a family event and to clear up some business. She brought several things home from my grandparents property before it was sold. The tea sets and glassware are gorgeous but there were a few very old and somewhat odd items […]
The Things I Notice Now That I’m Finished School
Disclaimer: I am not naming or criticizing any specific employer in this post and will do my best to not make any comments that would obviously name anyone specific. This post is just me thinking about all my work experiences in general so please, do not assume that you know which company/companies I’m discussing because […]
Yup, winter has arrived!
As if the number of birds flocking to the fields to gorge on the left over harvest and the little bit of snow that came before Halloween weren’t big enough signals that the season’s were changing, this weekend seems to have made it official with a massive dumping of snow on the prairies. Here are […]
I’m working again!
(Edit: I’ve been told that this first paragraph may strike some people as a bit odd so I would like to clarify. Typically, I seem to have a lot of trouble finding work which has led to periods of unemployment such as what I dealt with this summer. There are numerous reasons for this; laziness […]
Harvesting
Okay, I know it’s silly to talk about the harvest when it looks like this outside: But as you can tell, I’m a tad behind on my posts. But in my defence, harvest time isn’t just the period of pulling the plants from the ground. It’s also the time to preserve your harvest and that […]
Some more ‘crafty’ projects
Silly me! I’ve been fiddling and fussing with so many different things but then, I forget to post them to show everyone! Here are a couple of my more recent projects. I had seen posts for a crocheted purse called a ‘bend beenies bag’ on a crocheting Facebook group and after seeing all the gorgeous […]
Happy Halloween!
The weather this year seems to be crazy wherever you are. Here, we have snow. Not that that’s weird for Saskatchewan but it is a little odd to see the white stuff before Halloween. It’s really too bad too because I remember what it was like trying to trick or treat in this weather. What […]
