If I don't post for awhile ...

... or respond to any emails, I'm not being neglectful or avoiding anyone. We're just moving really soon. This is going to be my last post here before me move and I'm not really sure how fast we'll have the computer set-up and internet access in St. John's.

Five Things I'll Miss about Calgary

1. Weather. I'll grudgingly admit the chinook winds are nice at this time of year.
2. The Cookbook Company
3. Living so close to an Ikea (old habits die hard, right?)
4. It's only a three hour drive to Edmonton
5. Our home! We spent a lot of money on improvements last year, not to mention my hefty investment in tulip bulbs, and we're not going to be able to enjoy it ...

Five Things I Won't Miss

1. Not having curbside recycling.
2. Urban sprawl sprawl sprawl and the complaints from the sprawlers who wonder why they live so far away from a school.
3. The drivers who think they do not have to signal for turns, leave a decent amount of space between my car and theirs, and think that shoulder checks are for sissies.
4. The Stampede!
5. The dry climate in winter. Static cling is no friend of mine ...

Good luck with the move! You're probably very happy you missed the blizzard they had last week. On another topic...I was looking at the sleepsac you made...did you buy a pattern for it or make it up on your own? I was thinking of making one. Our little one isn't due until June so no rush on a response :)

I used a pattern for the first one that I made - a McCalls pattern. Actually, I've made three in that size now, so I guess I'm still using the pattern. I've since made a much longer one for Madeline, and I just laid out her first one on the fabric and cut out longer (and slightly wider) pieces.
