Day 43 of isolation! It's now becoming the new "normal", unfortunately. I hope everyone out there is well and coping. Here is my desk this morning. It doesn't look like I've been up to much, but I've actually been here almost every day this week.
My junk journal is almost finished, one last page to go. I may do a video of it when It's done. Here is the page I did this past week:
Not much else to show. We went for a walk to the lake yesterday, the water is rising, hopefully won't get much higher than it is.
These trees aren't usually growing out of the water!
And here is Inky, settled in for a gloomy rainy morning!
That's it for us this morning, we hope you all have a lovely week, with lots of things to do! Stay safe, stay well, Inky and Mittsy say "meow"!

Today is the 36th day of isolation for me. I've been out of the house (except for exercise) 3 times. We bought a car on March 19, I've never driven it. I never thought I would miss grocery shopping, but I do. I'm eating a lot, baking a lot, so I've gained a lot. I'm trying to do something about that as well! My DD and I are challenging each other with Weight Watchers points, seeing who can get closest to what we are actually supposed to have! I'm sure most of you are in the same boat as I am. We can do it! Life will, someday, get back to some kind of normal.
Here is the most normal day of my week, this blogpost and WOYWW visit! Here is my desk this morning:
I pulled out an old unfinished journal from years ago, my "ABC Quotes" It's made from handmade paper, and all the backgrounds are prepared. I got to the letter "g" before other projects took precedence, and I haven't worked in it for years. It has been speaking to me for a few weeks now, and the quote for "h" was obvious in this period of pandemic.
I found a little flower face stamp that looks like the virus!
And another card to cheer someone up:
And I finished my scraps box. The magnets were very tricky, they just weren't working until I discovered tape to hold things down while they were drying. The inside of the box is covered in dictionary paper.
And I've been making masks, for what they are worth. Apparently they don't do much, but I'm anticipating that we will all have to wear one to go anywhere in the near future. This one at least kept the mayflies out of my mouth and nose when I went for a walk!
Every Wednesday in April I have yoga at 12:30. Mittsy likes my yoga mat!
That's it for me, I hope you are all healthy, happy, busy and safe!
Mittsy and Inky say "meow!"

Another week of social/physical distancing. Hope everyone is faring OK and staying indoors. One perk for me is that hubby does all the groceries now - I can't go to the stores! Has anyone watched the series Psych? I'm binging that, and Locke and Key on Netflix. Probably a kid's show, but I'm enjoying it! Also playing Best Friends on my tablet.
Here is my desk today:
See all those scraps at the top of my desk? They needed a home, so I'm making them one out of this:
I covered the hole with plastic so I could see inside, and it will have a magnet closure.
I have been working on my journal. I saw the cutest little project from Bohemian Crafting:
The tag pulls out from the egg! They were meant to hang as a decoration, but I like mine in my journal. On the flip side I will be putting pics of our Easter dinner, which was lovely. Usually our DD is visiting for Easter, and hubby goes all out each year as the Easter Bunny. He did not disappoint this year!
So I decided to go all out with dinner, and have it as festive as usual, even though it was only the 2 of us. But the big surprise was that my DD called on Face Time while we were both cooking dinner, and we cooked dinner "together"!
I hope all of you had a lovely Easter as well, making the most of what we already have, being thankful for what we have and where we live (it sure could be a lot worse), and welcoming Spring with open arms!
Inky and Mittsy say "Meow!" and I say stay safe, and have a lovely week!

Hope you are all well and happy! My life in isolation hasn't changed a whole lot, I just don't have to do any shopping (not really missed!), no going to work, and no lunches with my Mom and friends, and no chiropracter massages once a week.
But I have been busy on my workdesk, here it is this week. This time I took the photo before cleaning it up!
My SIL's birthday is on the 12th, so I had to make him a card - I almost forgot! Time is so strange lately...so I don't know if he will get it before his birthday, but it doesn't really matter.
Mittsy and Inky feature prominently in this card!
I hope he likes it! I used mostly Tim Holtz stamps.
They also feature on my journal page, I think I may try and make this into a new logo! (cats by Lavinia)
Mittsy and Inky both have bling on their collars, Mittsy's collar is black and Inky's is pink.
We can go for short walks in our neighborhood, people are very good at physical distancing. Here is the view of Lake Ontario from a small park at the end of our street. It was a very windy day and the waves were crashing!
Well, that's it for me today, I hope you all have a wonderful week, and stay safe! Inky and Mittsy also say "meow"!

First, apologies to you all, I wasn't able to get to my internet last week as hubby is working from home and we can't both use it at the same time (apparently) I guess it's just too slow when we do. Also my browser crashes a lot. I did read your comments, and appreciated them all. This week hubby isn't working as much so I have more internet time. I am also having to apply for Employment Insurance, along with a million other people, so that takes a lot of time too. Still haven't completed it!
Anyway...I have been at my desk this week, making more cards to send out, and working on my journal that I hadn't worked in for almost a year!
Here is my desk today:
doesn't look busy at the moment, but it has been!
My cards:
The elk is for my brother, I thought he'd like it better than flowers!
Here is the first journal page for 2020 in one of journals...
and here is an envelope I made for a future journal page: I made it from a window envelope
the white film tag on the bottom is from Bohemian Crafting, it will act as the closure. there are two slots inside for tags etc.
We are still in isolation, the number of cases in our city is going up, but not to staggering numbers. The general public seems to mostly be adhering to the new rules of the day, and staying home.
Here are Inky and Mittsy sharing some Spring sunshine!
Have a great week, I will be able to reply and comment this week as hubby's workload isn't as much as it was. Inky and Mittsy say "meow!" and stay safe!
