It's not always Perfect in Blogland

      So if you're like me it's fun and interesting to read blogs; as it's a window into other peoples' lives. Or their work. And it's always beautiful, perfect, filtered, pastel & pretty. 

And then I look around my house, and I'm like..."why doesn't my house look like that....why doesn't my dessert look like that...why doesn't...." GAH!!! I mean, come on.

 No one's home is perfect all the time.
Your desserts are gonna look like you're a finalist on "Nailed It" every now and then. 

Gotta cut ourselves some slack.

So HERE is my work room in all it's messy glory....

this is when I'm mid-projects, things going on, and I have to keep stopping and starting because, you know, life.

The UFO/WIP Bin

Le sigh. I clean up the space in front of my fabric shelf and then....this.

Oh yeah and the cats get in there and decide they'd rather have THIS spot open and then...boom. It's a hot mess in there.

Those aren't appliques. Those are cats.

So...don't spend all day on Pinterest or reading blogs and then feel bad. Cuz we KNOW it's not always perfect in Blogland.

As part of the not buying more this year; I'm upcycling some old mens' shirts I had.

Summer Catch Up!

It's been a very busy and very HOT summer. For you too, I bet.
Up here in Ontario; we're only half way through our summer. It's wonderful.

Over the last few weeks.... it's been almost too hot.

I do love summer. Winter can be pretty, sure...but I miss the sun on my face and the warm breezes.

And having my morning coffee on the deck. And my evening beverage on the deck.

I mean,  one could go out on the deck in January....but....not quite  the same.

but.... IT'S SUMMER!!!!

Garden is growing,

 knits are being knitted

 

Currently #ontheneedles

and I've been working on going through my stash instead of buying anything new. (Except for thread or other types of notions that require to be replaced)
I mean, like most crafters; I have SO MUCH STUFF   a pretty good stash that really, I don't need anything new.... I have a TON of WIPS still eyeing me balefully from the UFO Basket.
Enjoy my summer catch up......

everyday this is what they do.

Thanks for the inspo Karl! Remember this when I post my new shirts!

Hair Chop!

When you're trying to be professional but the cat has other ideas.

DINNER!

Dad came & we reshingled the shed!

Cucumber close up!

CN Tower! Took my out of town guests for dinner there!

So apparently I feed raccoons and not just feral cats.

I also have backyard bunnies!

Summer catch up! What's going on in your lives?
