one month

Holy crap! It has almost been a month since I've been on here. Man. I don't even have anything to show for it either. I've been hanging out and getting the new house put together and making meals from this calendar and trying to figure out my new gym schedule. But no sewing. None. People are waiting for things from me too. Gotta get on it and will. I think the reason I haven't been sewing is because I have carpet in my new sewing room. It's so weird to have carpet. I'm not a big fan at all and I'm thinking of just pulling up the stuff so I can see what's under it. Yes, you heard it right. I'm blaming the carpet for my sewing procrastination.

by the lake

I was just over at decor8 commenting on a contest and the topic of the contest: You have an entire day off completely for yourself with $20; what would you do? reminded me of the time I went to the beach in Toronto last July 1st to read and people watch all day. There are always interesting people at the beach, but one guy was dressed in a black jogging suit and he had a head band on his head. The head band had a tennis ball attached to it from a string. He was jogging like a boxer in a ring down the boardwalk punching at the tennis ball. I tried to get a pic but he was too fast for me. That was the best people watching moment ever. I couldn't concentrate on my book after that.

Speaking of the Lake. I have a new blog that talks about my adventures of living by the lake in Toronto. I don't live on the Lake; you have to be a kajabillionaire to have that luxury, but I can see it from my bedroom window (in the winter when the leaves area all gone). Anyway I wanted to write about my adventures living there so check it out.

Oh and if you haven't commented yet on this contest - what are you waitng for? You have until Friday.

later gaters,

everyone loves free stuff

So I'm a bit late in the game of announcing this contest because of moving and lack of Internet connect and nasty paint fumes, but this news is still exciting nonetheless!

My friend Alison over at A Hot Pink Petticoat approached me about doing a contest to give away a free tote on Vintage Glam Blog. The contest is up so get over there and comment away! You could win!
