#leaningtodraw on my CPU. I'm not very good at it yet. I'm starting to get to know my brushes and that's making a difference. Not sure if I got the best pen to pair with my laptop... It's so hard to pick the right tools for the best results. #asus #ux461fn #microsoftsurfacepen🖊 #photoshopcs6 #grutbrushsampler https://www.instagram.com/p/COsuPP9BcnZ/?igshid=ynftw2kr1ere

Dinner gets a passing grade. Tofurky exceeded my expectations. It's a bit salty, but no where near as salty as the chick'n. The rice stuffing was nice, but the side dishes were the star of the show. Today, we forgot the cranberry sauce... Oh well, we have about 2 days worth of leftovers. https://www.instagram.com/p/CGOPzWGhfWm/?igshid=y983h2gre26a

#Tofurky is ready for the oven. St. Jude pray for us! #patronsaintoflostcauses #Thanksgiving https://www.instagram.com/p/CGOBVDBh-xV/?igshid=1x4sj1huhufno

Replaced the upper and lower pulley belts on my Bernina Record 532! This was not easy as the machine is 50+ years old and the bolts were all super tight verging on seized. The belts aren't particularly stretchy either, so once the machine was apart it was still a fight to get the new belts on. Many curse words were uttered and I gave up on the repair no fewer than 3 times. So proud that I was able to fix it though. I think I earned my small machine repair badge for my Brownie sash! #sewingmachine #sewingmachinerepair https://www.instagram.com/p/CGEJ-UjhwKu/?igshid=1hsve3nn4ifli

This week’s masks. I hope I’ve sewn enough that I can take some time off! https://www.instagram.com/p/CDeKbFvJa6d/?igshid=czg24n7ind2u

Here's a happier picture... My balcony garden! I've planted peas, mixed salad greens, kale, spinach, cilantro, oregano, Italian flat leafed parsley, English mint, garlic, beans, capita and radishes planted so far. The second pic is an view of the first radishes of the season 😁💕 https://www.instagram.com/p/CAnRSPLJdCU/?igshid=1ive4wx6ig23r

Yesterday I woke up to learn that there was water coming up between my floor boards... Not a flood, but a slow/repeated foundation leak. My laminate warped and needed to be pulled up. The water has been reaching as far as my bedroom and it looks like the carpet will have to go as well. The water has also been wicking up the wall... They opened the wall and found mold. The contents of my living room are stacked in my bedroom and only have access to my bed and my desk... I guess so long as I can sleep and work I'm still okay. I have to give a shout out to @maxpropertyrestoration! They were at my place by 8am and had my floor out and the dryers & dehumidifier running by 11am... I'm so, so grateful for their help. https://www.instagram.com/p/CAnQjXkpGE3/?igshid=11f8tvhr7pb9j

This is what productivity looks like at my house. This week's #mask production. This week's order is going to the stylists at Synergy Hair Collective!

Channeling my inner Elsa today. One definitely needs to be an Ice Queen to venture outside when it's -27C! 🥶❄️🌨️ Tonight at work we'll be screening The Traitor at the Globe at 7pm... If y'all don't come out, I won't talk to anybody for the next week. *J/K*... For realises though, the weather sucks, but it's a "Dry Cold"... C'mon Calgary, get your butts out to the cinema! @calgaryfilm #JeffreeStar #ShaneDawson #conspiracypalette https://www.instagram.com/p/B7Wygu5hVus/?igshid=1v5yolthc8cs

Darning some darn socks. I love doing duplicate stitch, it makes for such a strong / flat mend. #knit #knitting #darn #darning #socks https://www.instagram.com/p/B7CRKRKh1yC/?igshid=1tg04tdbn67nt
