A Week in Outfits
I did a much better job taking outfit pictures this week. I feel like I am starting to get back into the swing of normal life, but also like I am having a much harder time fully getting back into it. I’ve been having a hard time getting out of bed in the morning. I’m…

Tennis Gear and Outfits
I have just gotten back into tennis for the season and one of my favourite things about playing tennis is the outfits. Which is very silly, because I usually play in leggings, a tank top, and whatever sneakers I have at the moment, however I would like to change that. Side note: I think it’s…

A Week-ish in Outfits
Last week’s high: It has been a very good couple weeks, but I think the highlight has to be either Wednesday evening or Sunday afternoon. On Wednesday a friend/colleague of mine and I went to a firefighter graduation/fire hall fundraiser for one of the communities we serve and it was just a very wholesome, community-building…

Needlepoint Notes: Bag Patch Self-Finishing
I finished stitching this canvas last year, but I am so terrified of ruining a canvas by cutting into it, which is a requirement of finishing, I think there are multiple parts to that fear, the actual monetary cost of the canvas and threads, and then the labour cost of the time spent stitching. So…

Friday Favourites
I don’t know if other people have already had this feeling this year, I feel like I am finally emerging from the pandemic. Trust me, I know it’s not actually over, my entire professional life is dominated by it (although I did have a few hours break this week to make an info sheet on…

Saturday Scroll 10/23
Honestly, the media this week is pretty lackluster, there aren’t a lot of good pieces this week. But: Penn Badgley also thinks Dan Humphrey is the worst. Joe Coulombe aka Trader Joe wrote a memoir, that sounds incredibly interesting from this synopsis, and I’ve only been to Trader Joe’s once! I really wanted to go…

Saturday Scroll
This morning is the first sunny day here in like 9 days and I am loving it so much. It’s supposed to get grey and start raining again this afternoon, but I’m enjoying it while it lasts. Short weeks sometimes feel so much longer than normal 5-day work weeks because you have so much to…

Wednesday Wants: Hill House Home Edition
We have a very special edition of the new Wednesday Wants, there is a Hill House Home drop this Thursday! Now if you are into preppy fashion you will be familiar with Hill House Home, but if you’re anything like me it took you forever to pull the trigger or you still haven’t. I bought…

Late Summer Needlepoint
Late summer is in my opinion, second only to the holidays for best season to needlepoint. It is so hot, and you have done most of your summer things and just want to sit by the water or in the air conditioning and stitch. Some of these are canvases I have in my stash, I…

Obsessions: July 3rd
Instagram obsession: @meghandono Meghan has become one of my favourite bloggers/influencers. I started following her for her sunscreen recs and her Francophile style. She had skin cancer a couple years ago (so I believe that would have put her in her early 30s, and I am rapidly approaching my late 20s) and has become super…
