this is how i spent my morning the other day! strawberry-mango! and it's so fresh and light and at least half the sugar of regular "cooked" homemade jam!.... as awful as some girls out there might think me i ADORE playing haus-frau....
also i have been crafting up a storm lately (will have to post pics shortly) and started my first scrapbook.... i enjoy the IDEA of scrapbooking but why is everything SO idealized and perfect and neat and coordinated and matchy-matchy?! i think now that i have a taste for it i will incorporate my old journaling experiences from 'angsty' high school years and make it into something different and more creative and personal to REALLY show off.
STILL have yet to get onto my previous projects of reupholstering my lovely chair and settee, as well as finish my coffee table refurbish but it's hard when those types of projects require so much more intensive equipment than just some felt and a needle and thread.... but i do want to get them done and in for use asap.
also i have my garden seeded, and this weekend i am devising a strategy to keep those pesky chipmunks out so i can get my seedlings planted as well without their tops getting chewed off!
oh and a visitor this weekend too, so that will be lovely. planning a yummy summery lunch to enjoy al fresco!
while i don't have any major plans for this summer (as my work schedule may be all over the map) i have two major trips in the fall in the works! and trust me as much as i love summer, i love travel more! one is a whirlwind big city trip and the other is a fabulous road trip!
