Sewing Room

So, I've been flip flopping between wallpapering a wall in my sewing room with a "damask" sort of a pattern. Then i figured i could be lazy and cheap and do a stencil, so i found a stencil that seemed okay, but i stared at it continually while i was buying paint and decided it was ugly and too dated looking, so i picked out a gorgeous wallpaper, stared at it continually until i decided the whole thing was a bad idea and i should just go with my gut and do stripes. Whew! I like the idea of wallpapering, but if i didn't end up liking the end result, it would be a pain to change, and as all of you know, i'm no stranger to constant change.

Weekend project.

This weekend we had a fabulous time at the inlaws cabin. Lots of late night fires, seadooing and cards. When we weren't doing that we were building a chair from willow trees. We didn't exactly follow the instructions, but we finished it and it's heavy and sturdy. I got to man the drill.

The bending was the best part.

Looks pretty darn good hey?

Happy Canada Day

Happy Canada Day! And what a beautiful day it is.

Every year on Canada Day, my community puts a flag on everyones front lawn, so as you drive by, all you see are these little Canadian flags waving in the wind. It looks great and I can't help but smile every time I look outside. I love Canada, I couldn't imagine living anywhere else.
