Christmas & Holidays in Guelph

Christmas this year was great! Now that I live away from home, I can savour and cherish my family time even more than I did before. I had lots of great food and meals shared with my family and nights together over movies or board games.

Someone got a Barbie Camper-Van!
On Christmas day we went over to my aunt's house for an all round multi-family celebration. Around 10 pm I took scamp out for a walk and we discovered an injured mourning dove! These birds have a knack of falling into my care. I took her home in a shoe box and let her dry-out from the melted snow in Icicles old cage, ironically replacing hers on Christmas. The little bird's tail feathers where missing and she is now spending the rest of winter and spring at a bird sanctuary in Rockwood, Ont.
I never ended up naming her, but if I could now, her name would be "Snow-Drop"

For Christmas my aunt and cousins got my a round knitting loom set. Its been great, I've made four circle scarves/cowls and a few other things since I started looming. Its so easy to pick up and do while I'm watching TV or reading. Lastly I've been so lucky to catch some of Bronwyn'sfigure skating while I'm home. Each time I watch her she is getting better and better, she truly loves this sport, I'm hoping to start sewing her some dresses, and expanding it into a hobby-job.
Look at that stride!

Front-Door Makeover!

It was about time the rusty dirty front door colour was re-vamped. Chocolate brown wasn't the easiest colour to work with but I think we pulled some-what of a unique and viable look off... What do you think? Here are the colour swatches and results!

Blackberry Harvest - Behr

Canvasback - CIL

Black hardware to finish it off! The purple really came out brighter than we expected! But, with everyone choosing bright red, green, and yellow doors, I thought I would go for something unique and touch wild, as far as I know, we're the only purple door owners in Guelph!
Soon to be purple-garage doors also!

C'est L'Halloween!

Halloween in Montreal was great! We all spent the whole weekend at parties and events around campus and the city. Me and three other girls went all out and made our own costumes. We based them of Katy Perry's California Gurls Music Video! We looked great! There was also a haunted house in the basement of my residence! The space has no windows, twisting corridors and six dark prayer spaces that lend to one creepy haunted science lab!

Getting ready, me as "Katy Perry"
Jacob the R.A. being a Zombie!
My friend Emilie as the other cotton-candy "Katy Perry"

Halloween back home in Guelph was fun also! Bronwyn was a Giraffe and the front door was decorated beautifully!
