i can assure you, i was totally freaked out

I've had a few rough days but I found this video and it makes everything better.  Just to note, I don't speak French but there are subtitles (although some stupid ad covers part of them and you have to click the x to get rid of it). 

I watch this and laugh and laugh and feel better.  Then I think about how I'm laughing at baby ducks being blown around and feel bad because I'm obviously a terrible person.  So I have to watch it again so I feel better.

Warming up the Windows

One thing I love about my house are all the windows and light.  I am a light addict.  However, it also means I need a lot of curtains.  I hate curtains.  The only reason why I have any is to save the neighbours' some embarrassment.  And to block the glare on the TV during the day.

Right now I have assorted sheets and curtains "artfully" draped over windows to protect our modesty.  I'm thinking of making some roman blinds though.  They seem nice and tidy. While I was poking around on the internet I found this neat tutorial from Instructables on creating an insulating roman blind.  In the pictures they have used a quilt.  How cool is that!  I think I'm going to be looking through some of my quilts with an eye to my windows.

In less than 24 hours

I will be on the plane, heading to Toronto, first stop on the way to Ireland. Mom and I are going to spend a couple of days with my sister, then head across the pond. I'm trying to find something to occupy the loooooonnnnnggg flight. Other than sleeping, which I'm planning to do a lot of. I have to go light on the books (and the library hasn't been showing me any love lately) but I found a new scarf pattern I might try to my for my neice.

See, I do do crafts.

Oh, note the new link on the site for artsy-crafty babe. Gotta love anyone who calls themselves a babe but her blog is great fun besides that.

Mixed Martial Arts and Crafts

HA! This is funny. We are huge MMA fans, with the exception of me. This is more my style.
