I'll be Crafty for Christmas

I have been so monumentally crafty lately that I actually invited two (admitted) craftophobes into my kitchen to join me in a gingerbread session.

Little did I suspect the sheer craftlessness which would ensue..... reminds me of some project from Unwholesomefoods. That was not what I intended... urg!
Then they went & put my awesome Roller Derby super special, pink & glittery "award knife" right on the gingerbread cowpie that they had mustered from their seedy side of craftless consciousness....

Luckily, I have been truly crafty all byes myselfs, as evidenced in my derby-comix-bejeweled inspired boxes & wall art. So there, anti-craft demons!

Dream Deck!

I cannot believe that our new deck went from this (below) in July ......

To THIS-----> by September!!
Oh joy! An entirely new room to decorate!
Baileys has found her spot & is wonderfully happy there!

Views from Back Country BC

So.... we've been wearing through the pages of our BC Backroads Mapbook again! Over the last twelve years, we've gone to many of the lakes off Bear Main road, as well as the eastern valley lakes, but have never ventured above Peachland before.

And now we have. Go figure, there's a whole lotta lakes up there to find & explore!

We've successfully claimed our own solo spot at two lakes for two weekends in a row, and we have a list of ideas for future excursions (notice how secretive we're being?.... you'll have to find them yourselves! Half the fun is searching around for them anyway....)

We spent quite a bit of time watching the "frog channel" at our first lake.

The second lake was at the absolute top of a mountain range and it felt like something out of a wild west movie --- complete with howling winds that nearly blew us right off the road!

Summer So Far (So Good !! )

So far, summer 2010 here at the property has been blooming with flowers, fruits, and friends!

There have been ample pickings from the garden

And lucrative visits !!

Also came a visit from the Eastern Magi !!

Who visited our "Nut Chair" ......

Picked some raspberries ....

baked some pies ....

And just generally hung around and looked fabulous !

Summer Car Show

Of all the crazy things to do on a hot day in June, we picked the Peach City Cruise in Penticton (website here -- > click).
Surprisingly fun thing to do on a sunny afternoon ... peering under hoods and admiring shiny paint jobs & the like....
Go figure, I liked the wooden cars best!

Tim preferred the more stately and elegant cars, such as the classic Pacer ....

Observation: many folks who visit classic car shows resemble famous WWF wrestlers...

We started & ended the afternoon with a visit to Penticton's newest vintage vendor-- "Tiger Alley"... (yay JK!)
