Back and Ready for Action

I'm back from the lovely land of Ottawa and Montreal! Was away for the Fiancé's sister's convocation and a Montreal family get together. 

This trip was especially fun because we got to hit up the National Gallery in Ottawa for the Vigée Le Brun and The White Dress exhibits! Amazing painting and amazing material culture exhibits. Defs Recommend. 

Anyways! I'm back for real! And have a bunch of posts to finish.... of course. My brain has been dealing with all the thinky-thoughts lately but I'm feeling up for a gardening post I think!

I have a sewing project on the go too and pottery starts next week! Excited! (Also exhausted... haha. Hi summer!)

Summer... is that you...?

I never thought it would happen! But I think Summer is coming!!! (Ok, over-exageration, but still. This spring has Sucked.)

This past May, like in previous years, I've done the David Suzuki 30X30 Challenge. 30 minutes outside for 30 days in May. This year I didn't do as well as years passed but still got to be outside more than this winter! And now that spring has finally arrived, despite allergy-face, it's been lovely exploring gardens and suburbia for lovely plants!

It's also been nice getting my tomato babies outside finally again as well. Yay! I have a little pepper plant too. But we'll see how it does. All my seedling are growing up! D= 

Anyways! All the things, as per usual. Hopefully I'll be starting a new sewing project shortly with my Lesley lady. Until then, gardening and planning for pottery class!

Success!

More punctation! 

Mead was successful! Post is up and everything! Look at me keeping on top of things. -pat on back-

Anywho! I've got some exciting news! Last week I was elected as President of my professional association: the Toronto Home Economics Association. Very flattered as well as energized!

For those that know me in person, to say that I'm energized on top of normal me is saying something. I'm going to be working with the Ontario association to increase recognition and visibility of the organization. Exciting times! Anyways. I will attempt to post regularly about all the things I'm going to be doing. 

As always though, All the Things ;) 

Cheers!
