Countdown to Christmas...Wait, what?!?!?

SIX months til Christmas!!

I'm doing a week of Christmas planning trying to, you know. Get ahead.

 Are you like me....all these AMAZING planned projects you'll handmake for Christmas? 

And then suddenly, it's.. DECEMBER 20th?!

And maybe 1 in 5 projects  finished? 

Yeah. Le sigh. Me, too. Every year.

Let's see....Cute Cross-Stitch Ornaments/Wall Art....Christmas Table Runner/Placemats ....Summer weight and Winter scarves....A few new Etsy shop designs....
Oh yeah. LOTS of time.
Ahem.

Okay. Designs Started.

Found super cute frames at Michaels!

So... I have started and continue to work on these itty bitty cross stitched ornaments...

Don't scroll any further if you don't like cuss words....
















I warned you....
















I also have cute little cuss words ... I gave these to my co-workers last year LOL
There are other ones too.."Whatever" "Hot Damn" etc etc. Custom orders available!!

Funny. This one is one of my top sellers. LOL

 

Grateful for.....Strawberries!!

To me, there is nothing more beautiful than a perfectly ripe strawberry.

 

Growing up in SW Ontario, fresh strawberries always meant the start of summer.

That bright tangy smell always takes me back.

Gratuitous Strawberry Shot.

 

I remember hulling fresh strawberries with my Mom before she'd freeze them.

Sitting at the kitchen table, fingers stained red from their juices.

I probably ate more than I hulled.

 

So thankful that it's summertime again! Fresh, local, Ontario strawberries abound!

 

Here is a link to my Strawberry-Rhubarb Pie post from last summer...try it, deeeelishus!
