She’s inventing a new kind of knitting, it’s called, ‘”The Freedom Knit” because you can make it up yourself. You can do it however you want; whatever way you can find that works.” She’s making me something super soft. Images posted in reverse order of completion
Bookwormish
Last night I started reading Fairy Swarm to Lily. I haven’t tried reading her a chapter/novel like book from a tangible book copy before now. We read from an electronic device often before bed, or in the car, etc.. but this time, I had book in hand. She snuggled up next to me and as […]

Early Valentine
My sweet one. She “anilated” it to preserve it for us. We mounted it on a raised canvas for our walls.
The Incredible Present
We picked this book up in Brighton, ON in a little used book shop, with a bookkeeper (yes, a real one) that made a permanent impression on Lily (and us). Below is a recording of Lily reading last night, out of her own interest.. Click to listen
