Frank went away last week, yes..again. I think he travels a wee bit more this time around, more like once every 10 days though the best part is at least its 3 – 4 days instead of an entire week. This time, duty calls to Resolute Bay/Resolute. Its pretty darn cool though. 2nd most northern community, the first is Grise Fiord.

You know its coming

I cant quite make out a title for this post, I should really get off the computer and start sorting my fabrics. So I’ll be “dumping” these pictures in the same post. they are taken within the last 2 weeks

Not the one from DQ, or the movie

For my sewing & fabric peeps Yes Yvy, you!! now read

Frank is lucky, he gets to travel all over the north. He travels wayyy less now than when we lived in Arviat so its great. But last couple of weeks, he got to go to 2 communities on Baffin Island, so he came home with pictures.

I have 2 amautis, I love both of it equally for different purposes but unfortunately my trusty winter amauti is getting a tad small. The pouch is small, the fit on it is trim and sporty which is great! but not so great when I have a 2 y.o in it for most part. It was my grey amauti, I think I am going to keep that for Ava.

I know I had posted that I wanted to try and breastfeed Ben as long as I can. But when he turned 2, he was nursing all the time that I am starting to really detest it. I dont mind so much during the day but the night time nursing is crazy, since he obviously dont need it, its a matter of comfort.

Another dump-shopping find. Northern dumps are the best!

Its been cold here, no much of a surprise but still every few days, I mutter a few curse words under my breath. We’ve had a deep chest freezer for a while now, ever since we live in Arviat. It was one of those things that a friend who used to live in the north told us to get. And it served us well, at least in Arviat. Hunting is very good in Arviat and our freezer is mostly filled with caribou and char on top of the usual chicken, beef..etc but mostly “hunted” stuff since they are cheap. And we do have some out of the ordinary meats from time to time. I think we had seal in it before and of course polar bear meat.
