Things I Made and saw : Jean skirts, Crosswords and Swinging in the Sunshine

It's been a busy and hot week (or maybe I'm just focusing on the heat because a lot of the weekend has been spent melting) but one in which I went out a lot more than usual and got a lot of fun things done.


There's nothing like swinging on swings at the park, no matter how old you are!

The boy swings too

I got these photos printed up and bought some mats from Wyndham Art Supplies for a quick gift for a bridal shower -- I think they turned out rather well! I was super worried about how the prints would turn out, largely because I haaven't printed photos in forever, but I'm very pleased with the results.

The bridal shower itself was also pretty fun --and held at my favourite of all yarn stores, All Strung Out Yarns.

Here are a few pictures of the festivities

 Tasty Foods a'plenty!

Beautiful wedding cake knitted by the bride's mom  Paula

I headed to the farmers market briefly with the pup, and stocked up on some tasty apples -- I go through a peck of apples about every two weeks!

I also headed out to the pub around the corner with the boy and a friend and we made some exccellent progress on a crossword (and pints!)

My pint "disappeared" before I got a picture

I also made a new skirt out of some old jeans that had ripped -- I think it turned out quite well (despite not being able to get a super great picture of it )
