Stacking on Sunday | 100DayProject Day 50

At the summit of one of the hills on our hike. Such a gorgeous day!

Stacking on Sunday

As I start writing at 10:12 p.m. the original theme for the day is slipping my mind. So I’ve changed it to Stacking on Sunday. We had a wonderful hike in the forest with Luna this morning. She’s taking advantage of there being a lot more snowy patches at the cottage than here in Ottawa so she did a lot of snow angels on route. For the most part we didn’t have troubles navigating the snowier sections where there isn’t as much sunshine, but Roland did get a soaker when his boot went through the snow and into a puddle well over the top of his hiking boots. I got a photo of Roland and Luna at the top of one of the hills and as I scrolled through my photos for the day I remembered my original theme of Summiting on Sunday – which had me thinking about progress on some goals because I am now half way through my 100DayProject. Do you have any goals that you have accomplished? It also makes me think about getting out hiking – ’tis almost the season for that so I hope that you’re finding opportunities to be outdoors.

I did a bit of crafting while Roland finally got the chainsaw going. It turns out it needed fresh gas to run properly. Which makes me think of a theme for a Friday – because I know that, like a chainsaw, I run better on quality fuel and it’s high time I make a few changes in my eating habits. But, back to the Stacking on Sunday theme. Once he got the chainsaw going he cut a few trees that had fallen earlier this spring into logs. I helped him to stack the logs and branches, adding to our already good collection of logs for our summer campfires.

We had gone to Costco on our way to the cottage to buys some chicken thighs to make Honeyed Chicken in the evening. We also picked up a bike trailer since we’re getting new bikes and want to be able to bring Luna with us on outings. Louise came by at 7:00 and we really enjoyed our evening making the chicken together. I thought that would be a lot more fun that just sharing the recipe with her. Which is was.

The Honeyed Chicken portioned into containers for the fridge and freezer. I put 5 pieces in each container which is generally good to feed two people.

100DayProject Day 50

I made just one of these boxes to hold my extra mini ink pads today. The pattern is below. I had forgotten the sizing for them so had made a few boxes of other sizes before calling Heidi to get her to measure them at home. I need to make a separate blog post to show how to make these which will be easier to find the right dimensions when I need to make them in the future.

I did some crafting at home as well and had done a bit of cutting and assembling of some boxes in the car on the way to and from the cottage.

This was one of my crafty projects today. I made these to hold my blending brushes which you can see below.
The boxes grouped together in sets of 4 so they will stand freely on the desk.
These box nicely hold and separate the blending brushes by colour.
These are the solid coloured cardstock box pieces that I cut (that I had previously cut to size and scored) in the car paired with their patterned paper pieces that I had cut to size a long time ago . These will be used soon in a class at The Canadian Mental Health Association. These boxes are sized to hold A2-sized greeting cards.

I forgot to include photos of these cards that I wrote yesterday.

Picture This Year | Prompt 102 (solid) | an extra Prompt 100 (stack)

Picture This Year prompt 100 (stack). This is an extra photo that I took today for Thursday’s prompt. This isn’t even the whole stack of logs that we ended up with after all the chainsaw work that Roland did cutting the tree trunks into logs.
Picture This Year prompt 102 (solid). This was the prompt for yesterday which I photographed today. These are all of the solid coloured cardstock boxes that I cut on the way up to the cottage today. I had already cut them to size and scored them but there was a lot of cutting to form the sides of the box and tabs which get tucked inside.
