winter

Yesterday Warren and I finally got an opportunity to work together photography-wise. Here is what we look like when we're not working.

Winter Traditions



It's officially winter in Edmonton.  That means that a few winter traditions are about to begin:

1. Make cran-apple cider in the crock pot

2. String up Christmas lights

3. Lose all my favourite mittens

4. Read the entire Harry Potter series

Happy Halloween!

{ Wheeeee! }

une baguette et vin

Happy Pre-Halloween, everybody!  Last night Warren and I dressed up as a frenchman and a sailor and went to our friend Bryce's house for a spooky evening.  Mostly we ate all the candy that was intended for local chillens, but no kids came to the house anyway.



{ Not shown: my costume also included a bottle of red wine and a baguette. }

{ Warren made a pipe out of some paper, a Tootsie Pop Roll and some cotton batting.  Pro. }

Wasps, Bikes, and Cookies

To keep a record of how this First Year of marriage is faring, I'm going to try to do one blog post a week as a sum-up of all the fun we're having.  (Unless there is no fun to speak of, in which case I'll post my favourite sad songs for the week.)




{ I'm not usually squeamish about wasps, but this one sounded like a motorcycle. Warren annihilated him, but it took three hits with a shoe to get him to go down.  Terrifying. }

Here's a picture of Warren being a champ and sanding down our tandem bike frame by hand so we can paint it candy apple red and be the envy of hipsters everywhere. }

 { While Warren sanded down the tandem,  I sat on this. }

And ate these. } 



{ Running low on cookies is a problem over here, so I made more.  I accidentally used mint chocolate chips instead of regular ones, which could have been a disaster.}


{ They were, however, received well. }

Ridin' Dirty

Warren came home from a bike ride tonight and although I didn't manage to take a picture of his clothes before he stuffed them into the wash, or his face before he showered, I CAN show you his shoes.

You should see the bike.

light experiments

I'm starting a mentorship with AG Photography, and Amanda was kind enough to take me out and teach me some essential facts about my new camera.  Here are a few results.




Thanks for being such a good sport and a cute face, A.

Starting Afresh


Yesterday I bid farewell to my job at the funeral home and to my little bamboo plant that will probably die without the constant affection it's used to.  RIP lil guy.

Aprons

Having recently become a "wife" (slave), it has been important to me to be as clean and cute as possible while cooking. Here are the aprons I own:


and this cute thing!  (thanks Jill!) Also, no judging.



This here is a "dream apron" of mine from Ice Milk Aprons.  This site sells aprons with heirloom recipe cards!

It's Autumn in Here


It's been a while!  But life is kind of back to normal and I'm ready to blog again.  Warren and I got a new camera and I took it out today for some delicious autumn action.  Taste for yourself:




an Ed Templeton Toy Machine Board, and one of Warren's faves.







dark to light, it was a good day for windows.
