100 Happy Days 43-49

So I am a little bit late updating my 100 Days Happy this week, our internet totally died, so we have been trying to get it fixed al week. But yesterday someone came out and found how to fix it, and thus I am back!

I am also on holidays this week, but don't be expecting exotic locations or anything like that, I'm just using up my holiday days before they expire. Hopefully a holiday is on the horizon, as my residency came through and I'm all paid up with my lawyer. But we have lots to do in the house and not to mention the washing machine also decided to kick the bucket. But hopefully soon.

Anyway lets get going, week 7!

1. Home made Green Onion Cakes

2. T-Rex's can do stuff, with assistance

3. Flitch and Mrs Norris for Wizarding Wednesday

4. New Washing Machine

5. Watercolour by the Castle

6. New Camera EEEEE!!!!!

7. Walks with Dixon

I also got a parcel from Camille, Caryn and James, I need to get a photo of it cause my family kicks ass! I really need to remember to get photos... 

100 Days Happy 36-42

So, here we are again, and I've got my photos for another week. I would say nothing so exciting as getting word that my permanent residency has come through happened this week, but I did receive my actual physical card. So that is exciting as well as our passports, the two years of bank statements from Daniel and I and other miscellaneous papers needed for my application! So yay that is exciting, it isn't one of my photos though, not sure it would be a good idea to take a photo of my new visa and put it all out there, but it did indeed happen and so Saturday's happy, is probably a close second.

Anyway without further ado.

 

 

1. Light Exhibit in St Andrews Square

2. Parcels from Canada

3. Cross Stitch progress

4. Big Hair, good hair day

5. Valentines Day, I rememebered!

6. New Tunes, hanging out with pals

7. Mammoth Bus!

All Things Van Gogh

I recently started cross stitching again, and I thought I was doing pretty well so I wanted to challenge myself with something bigger and what better than to fuel my ever growing  love of Van Gogh than to do a cross stitch of one of his paintings. Now when I looked into it, I didn't think it would be as complex, but I am having a brilliant time working it all out and here's the progress over the past week and a wee bit.

You can totally start to see it come together, bu that is just on panel out of four, my plan is to do it a panel at a time, and move forward that way so I don't get too ahead of myself!

Also while we are on the Vincent Van Gogh topic, I stumbled upon a kickstarter for an entirely handpainted animated movie of the story of Vincient Van Gogh as told through his paintings, unfortunately the kickstarter wasn't funded but the good news is they are going to relaunch it! Its well worth checking out what they are doing!

You can find their Facebook here and hopefully a link will pop up for the kickstarter too!

And finally, I got a few surprises in the mail, one from Amber, she had been to Harry Potter; The Exhibition, in Edmonton and passed on some goodies to me! And a Parcel from my mom full of sweets and a Tim Hortons mug, now I will just need to get my hands on some Time Hortons Coffee!
