  • 8 Things: Self Care

      

    It's Eight Things Thursday!

    8 Things: Self Care Essentials

    1. Sleep: I feel my best after 10 hours of sleep, but usually get 8, which is enough.

    2. A Tasty Breakfast: Good food early in the morning is a wonderful motivator...I'll get out of bed for that banana and peanut-butter toast with chocolate milk! I NEVER miss breakfast.

    3. Time Outdoors: Seeing green (in summer) or white (in winter) have a good effect on me. Walking to and from the bus stops each day is a nice time to enjoy this.

    4. A Good Read: Not a day goes by that I don't read...something, for the fun of it. It may be a newspaper article, or a chunk of my latest book.

    5. Hugs and meaningful Smiles: from Mr. JF of course! I've never been very affectionate so I was suprised to find this side of myself after getting married.

    6. Stretching: If I'm motivated, some morning yoga, if not, some stretches to ease the pain in my neck/shoulders/head every day does wonders.

    7. Connection: A good conversation, email from a good friend, or a random connection with a stranger

    8. Talking to Myself: I like to help myself out by talking nicely to myself in my head. What can I say? I have to balance the part in my head that talks not so nicely to me!

    8.5 Mantras: a form of talking to myself...I like short and sweet phrases that I pick to remind me of things I'm learning/wanting to incorporate in my life/being.

    One of my favorites is

    [God] She/He made me. He/She loves me. She/He wants me.

    I tend to pick the gender based on whether what I feel like that day needs what we represent as a mother-figure, or a father-figure.

  • Finishing Friday and Bunnies Everywhere!

    I was supposed to start work today but my Prof. had to be in a first aid seminar, so he suggested I take an extra day holiday...

    So on Monday I start work and will have less time to make stuff. : (
    I've been trying to get a lot wrapped up this week.

    In honour of Finishing  Friday, here's one of the projects I'm finishing today:



    What are y'all planning for summer?

  • I been dreaming of using this wool for ages and now I finally am! It is THE softest thing you will ever feel. AND it's 89% bamboo, certified by Forest Stewardship Canada, made in USA, packaged in Canada.



    In other, less happy news, my gnome is saddened that someone or something stole the head of my best tulip last night. RIP little buddy...Here's a photo of her in all her glory before the unfortunate event. She only bloomed for one day. : (

  • First Beading Loom Project Completed

    Here is my first beading loom project. I was trying to make a heart pattern but I think that I need to tweak the pattern a bit next time!



    While I'm making things, JF is fixing things! Here's the latest acquisition. We got it through a trade and it had tons of problems but JF fixed them all! Here he is enjoying the fruits of his labour.
