Animal!!!

Hey!

Today I was walking home through the park behind our house and there was something brown and furry and large in the backyard!! I considered going all the way around so I didn't have to walk past it... Being a city-ish girl I was kinda scared of it.. but I figured I am bigger than it so I just made lots of noise and it ran under the shed! I win!

Here he is... these guys are everywhere around here... you see a lot of them as roadkill too!
In this picture he's in the park, but the fence in the bottom of the picture separates the park from our backyard.

I've felt like my grandma (B) lately... the man who lives across the street from us introduced himself to us about a week ago and he was talking about selling his house and moving back to Slovenia or something.. where ever he's from.. cause he's getting old and such.. Anyways yesterday there was a lady with a couple standing in the driveway across the street pointing and talking... I thought it might be a realtor etc and today there's a for sale sign!!! I want to be nosy and watch all the people.. and go see the inside of his house... Simon and I were thinking maybe we could buy his car if he does end up moving! It all depends on us having the money too.. I mean we haven't even paid for the car we have now :P

Well that's all for today. I worked at the daycare this morning and work at Dynamite tonight so I'm going to relax this afternoon and watch all the neighbourhood activities :)

Howdy!

I've been busy the last couple of days! Today I had to work unfortunately... but yesterday! Yesterday I started AND finished my roman blinds! Simon put them up on the window but I did use his drill and saw all by myself! These are in my "craft room." I'm making some more for the bathroom and I may as well make them for the office too... Then we'll finally have blinds/curtains in all the windows! I know these aren't perfect.. but I'm not much of a perfectionist.. although I would love things to look perfect, I just don't have the patience for it!



On Tuesday I made sugar cookies and then iced them yesterday. MmmmMMmmmm. Now I'm just eating them!! I made a double batch but have only baked and iced about half of it.. Maybe I'll do the rest tonight.


In other news... The weather here has been crazy! It snowed on Tuesday! I was not very happy!! But at least it didn't stick or anything.. it was just little flurries for like an hour. Today and yesterday were super hot and sunny but windy and its supposed to be 22 degrees and raining on sunday! I think my hair is already being affected by the humidity!!!

Anywho, onto productive things, like organising my closet!
Later!

Craft Creations

Hi again!

Now to post what this blog is all about, what I've been doing lately!
Since school and exams are done for the semester and I haven't started my summer job yet I have about 2 weeks of nothing! woo!

I have a list of things I want to get done this summer..

• plant and tend to my garden
• sew a dress (all by myself) that I've had fabric for for about a year now
• catch up on some scrapbooking
• paint something large to go above our couch as art
• take the Michael's cake decorating class
• Crochet a blanket for Simon and I
  
• ...

Today I decided to get going on things! I did do some stuff last week, like plant the garden and start crocheting our blanket.

This is a blanket I finished last night... I don't like how it turned out.. it's not that great. It's a baby blanket (not for me!) so it's about 2.5 feet long by 1.5 feet wide. I did start another blanket though! It's taking longer cause its bigger...


It's kinda dark in the picture, but it's purple "grape" and cream. It'll be big enough to cuddle in :) In the picture there's about 20 rows done. I plan on making it 110 rows long... I have my work cut out for me! I generally crochet while watching Rachael Ray every (!) morning and then while Simon's watching playoff hockey...

The Canucks just scored...

For about a week there we were up til about midnight every night watching the sens and the canucks, since there were on opposite nights!

Anyways, this is something I'm kind of proud of: Today I decided to do something... not like last week when I did nothing.. I am starting on the dress I'm making, but I decided that I need a new ironing board cover since our ironing board/cover were found in the basement of Sophie's house when she moved in.. It smelt musty and like old lady and was covered in cat hair! I found an easy tutorial online and followed it! The edges and underside of the cover were okay so I just took off the ugly fabric and replaced it! The only fabric I had to cover the ironing board is the one I used.. I think its cute :P

It's Eskimos in pink and penguins!

You can also see my sewing set-up in the background. Sophie gave me an old table that's cute and small and good for craft-stuff so I've set it up in our "3rd bedroom" (that we don't use) i would like some shelves on the wall behind my sewing machine!

Anyways that's all for today! Need to get back to other things!
Until next time!

Good Day!

Hello!

Since we've moved to Ontario I seem to have more time on my hands... So I've been baking and gardening and sewing and scrapbooking... among school and minimal working! I decided to start a blog to show off all my new and exciting things! Enjoy!
