Truly there’s nothing like time with your own kids to really fill your bucket on a Mothers Day weekend! ❤️Complete with: couch surfing, Ikea meatball lunch special, a LUCKY new YVR bookstore discovery, early coffees, resident crows, orca sightings, top deck bus rides whooshing along the sunny blueberry fields, reconnecting with old friends, and all the smells and people- watching delights that a diverse and colourful, ocean city can offer.
Looked up and saw this today and it hits the mark!
Ah Mother’s Day.
My brother sent me this today- and for me, it rings the truest.
What They Didn’t Tell Me About Motherhood
By Aimee Nezhukumatathil
Sometimes when they were young, I felt like
I was underwater and couldn’t make out sounds
or reason or rhyme, only coral clicks and distant
whale songs. A shiver of eel near my ankle. But
trust me: one day you’ll surface. They start
walking, then running, and then they sit behind
a wheel. Then you sit behind a wheel, driving away
from their dorm. They grow smaller and smaller
until they’re as big as a guppy, and soon this
bubbly sea is not at all where you want to swim—
even though it’s what you always wanted for them:
that they’d grow strong fins—iridescent, fully unfurled
in the morning sun, curious eyes, big-bright and shiny—
and the only waves you know now mean good-bye.
Mountain stitch retreat 2026 🤍
A few more moments that felt too special not to share… the quiet, the laughter, the in-between pieces that made the weekend what it was 🧶✨
so grateful for this little community we created together

Sometimes you get be a part of something truly magic! Our first ever Mountain Stitch Retreat was filled up with everything that we had hoped for …and more. A fantastic mix of stitchers of all stages and all ages. Hailing from Fernie, Cranbrook, Creston and further afield feom Lethbridge and Golden, we all met new friends, learned new tricks ate like queens and created plenty of inside jokes to last us till the next time.. a huge, thank you goes out to these wonderful supporters and generous sponsors: @chemisfree.yarn@happyholmesfibrearts@thechopsticktruck@fernieforge@colourfulewe
With hearts overflowing -Marissa and I want to thank all who came and made this little dream come true! @stitchedbymarissa@radishandpatch
Such a treat and such an honour to be a part of this day- this community- this stage. Some moments shine so bright, even under the cover of grey clouds.
Oh @shredkelly@harkravingsirens …how did we get so freaking lucky to find ourselves singing all these choruses in life together!! Bucket filled up to sloshing.
Thank you 🙏 @ferniealpineresort

This is my commute to work.
And as I was peddling my way, feeling pretty heavy about the state of the everything, this song was playing in my heart.
And so, to all you songsters out there-please keep feeling the feelings, writing the words, making the melodies.
I don’t know what we would do without you, you give us a song in our hearts when we haven’t got one. You connect us in Ways that nothing else can.
And especially to Saint Bruce (cockburn) who still captures and enhances so many moments of my life.
“Sun’s up, uh huh, looks okay
The world survives into another day
And I’m thinking about eternity
Some kind of ecstasy got a hold on me
I had another dream about lions at the door
They weren’t half as frightening as they were before
But I’m thinking about eternity
Some kind of ecstasy got a hold on me
Walls windows trees, waves coming through
You be in me and I’ll be in you
Together in eternity
Some kind of ecstasy got a hold on me
Up among the firs where it smells so sweet
Or down in the valley where the river used to be
I got my mind on eternity
Some kind of ecstasy got a hold on me
And I’m wondering where the lions are...
I’m wondering where the lions are...”
Bruce Cockburn-songwriter
Due to the shifting time-space continuum that is life- we have had one “stitchee” need to cancel on the (very first ever) Mountain Stitch Retreat on April 17-19. So for anyone that feels like they may have missed the sign up, or were on the fence about coming: NOW IS YOUR MOMENT TO SHINE 🤩
Please click the link in our bio and get yourself signed up. Or if you have a friend that you think might just love this mountain stitch getaway, please tag them in the post below.
