My Life In Photos

Well, there goes another month. I'm so ready and looking forward to the next couple of months. I'm pumped for the Summer. We've already been experiencing Summer weather which has been great. And the thought of afternoons at the beach, swimming in the lake, and heading to Algonquin for camping has me so excited.

I have plans to head to the beach or park numerous times this Summer with a blanket and a book. I found these books second-hand which were an amazing find.


I recently picked up a couple of new Tsum Tsums. How adorable are they?!


Mail has been fun lately too. I received this super amazing Mega Man plushie that I won through a giveaway. He's incredibly well-made by Monster Factory.


I also received the cutest tea snail!


Have you seen a turtle sun bathe? Now you have. It's super cute when they put their little legs up. 


The cats have been extra lazy with the hot weather.

The sunshine has given me new found energy and motivation. I'm absolutely thrilled to be able to spend time outside.

Captain America: The Winter Soldier

Last week we went to see Captain America: The Winter Soldier. It was an awesome movie! I was so excited to see this movie and it didn't disappoint. I'm a big Marvel fan and Captain America has proved to be one of my favourite superheroes from the Avengers. Chris Evans does an amazing job and I've thoroughly enjoyed both Captain America movies. 


One of my favourite things about Captain America: The Winter Soldier was Black Widow. I've talked about Black Widow before after seeing The Avengers. I've only ever encountered Black Widow in the odd comic, since I read mainly X-Men comics. And I've never been a huge Scarlett Johansson fan but she does a pretty fantastic job playing Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow. I honestly didn't realize how large of a role she would have in Captain America: The Winter Soldier. 


As a female who reads a lot of comics, watches a ton of superhero movies and television shows, it's so refreshing to see a real woman playing a kickass female role and not having to degrade herself. Sure, depending on the artist, Black Widow can show off a decent amount of cleavage. But this wasn't the case in the movie version of Black Widow. In all the movies she's appeared in now, she comes off as strong, powerful AND sexy. 


Who knows what will happen, but I really think they should make a stand alone Black Widow movie. She's tough and doesn't rely on the men to save her. And she's not wearing some skimpy outfit that barely covers her arse or has her breasts falling out of her suit. I respect her and cheer for her. My inner child wants to be her. Ok, maybe even adult-me wants to be her too. 


This movie made me even more excited for the next Avengers movie. I really can't wait to see everyone together again. 

Have you see Captain America: The Winter Soldier yet?

New Project: Cat Toys

Good evening!

I wanted to let you know about a new project that I've been working on. I've been thinking about making cat toys for quite some time now. I always have scrap fabric from my other projects and I thought this would be a fun project to try out.

I've made a few test toys to give to my kitties and some friends' kitties. Seymore is pretty rough with toys. He tears through felt toys quickly because he's a 'kicker'. So far the toys I made him have held up great. He's been quite possessive of the toys and he doesn't like to share them with Logan. But I guess that means it's a good toy.

Right now I have a giveaway on my facebook page for a chance to win one of my new cat toys (you pick any one from the picture below)! All you have to do is comment on the picture on my page and I'll be drawing a winner on Sunday night.
