I
Yep so here it is May.
And I barely wrote a word last month.
Well that's not entirely true.
I started teaching again and that meant two adjusted scripts to write, and I'm working on a new Murder Mystery for THIS:
Murder on the Train . AND...we had a new addition to our family and she needed a lot of loving care.
I also got very, very sick; some sort of bronchial thang that really knocked me out.
And sometimes....I don't know about you...but sometimes, I just don't have *it* to write. Ya know?
And then, it was so long since I'd blogged - I was a bit overwhelmed, like, where to start...!?!?
So... A Picture is worth a Thousand Words so.....here we go.
Mr J was feeding a feral cat colony all winter. We managed to trap most of them.
 |
| This is a VERY pregnant Jumper. |
|
 |
| Two days after succesfully trapping her; FOUR babies! |
 |
| This is Zazi. We were fostering her, socializing her, so she'd be ready to be adopted. |
 |
| She was so very tiny. She's about 6 months old. |
 |
| Three weeks of playing, and reassuring her in the bathroom. |
 |
| There was much playing of string. She was my total focus; and Mr. J was a saint for dealing with a messy house! |
 |
| Wasn't too sure about the RC mouse. |
 |
| In just a month and a half with us; she's grown twice her size and has completely taken over our house. |
 |
| A new addition meant trips to the vet for all. Vamp and Mikie were not impressed. |
They got over it. Laugh.
A surprise snowstorm in April, and NEW patio sliding doors!
 |
| Some outdoor fabric options |
 |
| April 10th is my birthday, and I made cake! |
 |
| Celebrating with my FAV sparkling wine. "Sofia". Yummmmmmmmmmmmmy. |
 |
| And there was Cherry Coke and Ketchup Chips! |
 |
| Mr. J gave my a wonderful present...the Ninja blender I've ben coveting for months! |
 |
| It's getting a lot of use. |
 |
| Starting cleaning up, really cleaning out my sewing space. Some vintage stuff to go on my Etsy shop. |
 |
| Working on some childrens' costumes for my Etsy shop. |
 |
| Getting the garden ready; and we needed some birdhouses! |
 |
| FINALLY made one of my Mary Maxim cowl patterns. Love how it turned out. |
 |
| Couldn't find a dress I liked in stores anywhere. Decided to design and make my own! |
 |
| Pattern drafting |
 |
| Fabric thoughts |
 |
| Muslin pattern mock up |
 |
| First fitting of dress! |
 |
| I was laid low with a serious bronchial chesty thing. So I cleaned the sewing room. |
 |
| Really cleaned. Oops! Looks like I left Muffin plugged in. LOL |
 |
| All the fabric sorted by colour and notions all neatly stashed. |
 |
| It started to get warmer! |
 |
| The back shade garden started coming alive. |
 |
| The front yard has some serious damage from salting the sidewalks. But the new tulips came up! |
 |
| Birdhouses are out! |
 |
| Visiting with my Mom ! |
 |
| Had a fun girls' night doing the Paint Nite thing. |
 |
| I did this! And it was so easy! |
 |
| There were lots and lots of donuts for Mother's Day weekend |
 |
| ......................and.....I'm planning my WEDDING!!!! WOOT! | Less than six months! |
|
So there's that. Lots went on.
And I'm back to sewing and making messess; I'll keep updating more often, I promise!!!!
