Way Back When

I went to Halifax, it was actually two weeks ago. But I've been a bad blogger so it's been longer in blog-time.

The weekend was spent mostly with my parents in a post-celebration of my birthday. This year was the first that I didn't see my mom on my actual birthday - big deal! It turns out the weekend before we end classes is very busy for a BEd student and Fredericton is just a wee bit too far away from Lower Sackville to make in a day-long road trip.

So hanging out with both of my parents for a weekend kind of made up for it.

I didn't take many photos which is strange but my mom and I did go to the Wooden Monkey on the Saturday afternoon for a late lunch. I miss that place:

My reaction to my mom's request: just act normal for a picture!!

Om Nom Nom! Lentil Burger!

Remembrance Day

This was my first Remembrance Day in Fredericton, the ceremony took place at the Cenotaph downtown. As per New Brunswick, everything was said in both French and English but despite this the entire ceremony was shorter than any I've attended in Halifax. I'm not sure what the difference was but it was still a wonderful ceremony.

I was really impressed with the number of people singing, it was great! Maybe it's because of the large population of old Christian ladies in Fredericton who know the hymns?

Sunday Night Tunes

Yes, I'm still talking about Ben Folds and Nick Hornby.

They have a video for their song From Above and it's WONDERFUL! The artwork really reminds me of Kurt Halsey, actually so does the whole feeling of the video - cute and morbid all at the same time.

Sew Concludes Term One

I'm just so clever!

Today was the last day of classes for term one of three. I can't believe how fast time has gone - nuts!

Going full steam ahead for an entire term left me with quite a bit of momentum, so this evening with no homework or lesson plan prep I had time on my hands.

So I decided to brighten up my kitchen a little with a sewing project: triangle banner!

Ironed pieces, ready to go

Finished product - I think a bit more finishing MIGHT
be required, I'm going to feel it out for a few days.

Adding a bit of colour to the kitchen

AFTER I made the banner I searched to see how others created their banners - not the best order.

I came across a blog that has a tutorial for making banners. Next time I'll search then sew!

Happy All Souls Day!

Again, CBC has brought to my attention that today is another day to celebrate - music!

It is All Souls Day, so naturally:
