Yesterday Phil and i drove to abbotsford to spend some time with my cousins and uncle. First we stopped in at the abbotsford mcc so i could stock up on cheap fabric (ie pillowcases). i LOVE that mcc and wish i could've spend more time there. honestly, since we visited value village last week i'm not sure why i would spend money on brand new stuff! especially for jeans, cuz if you buy them used you already know how they're going to fit forever! anyways, my cousin suggested that we go bluberry picking! so off we went. abbotsford has tons of little farms and rural stuff all around it so it wasn't hard to find one. blueberry bushes are shorter than saskatoon bushes, and there are WAY more berries in the clusters. plus they are bigger berries, so it took us all of 15 minute to pick a pail. I didn't really help much cuz i ate lots :D after we got back we played a game i don't know the name of and i was terrible at it. it was kind of like settlers but more complicated. we had burgers for supper - i had a salmon burger (mmmm) - and watched most of the bc-sk game before we left.

todaaaay i started on the sewing project i missed yesterday, which was a tote bag. about halfway through i realized i'd done the main part sideways, but i didn't want to undo 4 whole rows of stitching so i just went with it and made a wider than longer bag. here it is!


than i started the next project, which i just realized i failed to read the directions properly for annnnd i MIGHT have enough material left to finish :S and yes, i have noticed that may be a pattern with me and i AM trying to read the directions more carefully. anyways, i'll finish tomorrow.

also in the evening i managed to half-watch the horrible bomber game (which is probably just as well as i tend to get invested), and make a salmon-pasta supper. BUT the salmon was from a can and that is WAY more trouble than it's worth! there's still bones in it! does everyone just spend the time picked out the bones? i'm talking full spinal cord and everything. yuck. supper was good though :)
