See that picture of me above, lounging around on the garden steps? Well, I am supposed to be putting compost in my flower beds and weeding - but, I got this new little wireless remote shutter thingy for my camera and so I set up the tripod to take some pictures of myself in socks for a post. But, then I got distracted by the August issue of Gourmet magazine that has some amazing photos in it (I don't actually cook anything from the magazine, I just look at it), and so I decided to take a picture of myself procrastinating. A critical rule of procrastination is a great glass of wine and a supply of Crave cupcakes. Being still nervous from the rodent rabbit incident, I have my rubber gardening clogs nearby to use as missiles. I tend to procrastinate more when I have pressing things to do...I think a lot of people do that...I am certain it is a coping mechanism of some kind :)
I should also be knitting socks because I am doing a swap with the lovely Beth of Acorn Collective - some stripey socks for one of her fabulous basket bags. I am simply enjoying the concept that I am making 'traveling socks', which will make their way to the land down under - Australia. I love these swaps. I had some amazing ShiBui yarn in my stash that should be perfect for her.
I want to thank a couple of sweet blogger friends for gifting me with awards. Ladybug-zen nominated me for the arte y pico award and Ginny of the flour loft nominated me for the 'I love your blog' award. Both of these gals have wonderful blogs that I love perusing on a very regular basis. These awards comprise rules, but you know, we are all busy with life and I am feeling rebellious, so I am bestowing these awards on all the absolutely wonderful people who commented on the killer rabbit post. I felt so good when I saw all those comments. Thank you.
...and now you all must check out this blog Cannelle et Vanille, go ahead, just click on it...do it...all I can say is "divine"!

Procrastination is a very necessary part of my world! It's the only way I actually get any relaxation in! :)

Love your boots :^)
I spy pretty nasturiams! and the cupcakes? yum.
I am Queen of Procrastination.
Love this post! such lovely photos.
Your gardening clogs are just fabulous (and would undoubtedly be very intimidating to any creepy rabbits who choose to come snooping around). Thanks for the into to Cannelle et Vanille. Gorgeous!
Yes, procrastinating is an art of it's own now, isn't it? Love the boots!
Procrastination is my middle name! lol
Congrats on your awards, you deserve them, and many more!!! :)
Great boots! I keep telling myself that I need a pair (I love the ones at Target).
Procrastination is an art form around our house. ;-)
Some of the best moments in life are the in between things, procrastinating ones :o)
Thank you for sending us directly to Cannelle et Vanille...another great foodies blog--I love! And just LOVE your fun garden boots--too cute! I have to ask, where did you find those beauties?! Your photos are fantastic...I just love the way you set things up...like simple cupcakes (mmm...)Congrats on your awards--so well done, and well deserved, for you have a wonderful place here in blogland! :o) Ok, continue with your procastinating and keeping Rodent Rabbit at bay... LOL! Happy weekend, my friend ((HUGS))
Thank you for a nice comment on my blog.
Do you remeber something from the czech language?
aww man..i'm supposed to be editing photos--hmmm...your photos are beautiful as always...
Cupcakes! Oh, how fun!
Pictures of you proscrastinating are too funny. You do it so well, if I may say so.
Love cooking magazines. I am a fan of savour. Thanks for the great link.
Lovely trio of photos! I am the queen of procrastination - I seem to spend a lot more time daydreaming that actually getting things done, that's the only problem!
Your photos are so good! well done too for getting the awards. The links to the lovely food blogs are torture because all I can find for tea is cheese on toast and the shops are shut!!
Lovely photos! Hope your gardening was sans weird-rabbit... The rubber boots are adorable :)
I fight against procrastination for years till I accepted it is part of me.
Great garden boots!!!!
Hurrah for procrastination, especially in really cool wellies. A well deserved award. Such scrummy food on the link, must catch the drool.
Hey - I just found your blog while reading a comment on Cherrie's - and I have to say that I love your critical rule of procrastination! And your boots. Great blog - will read regularly from now on ....;o)
I have nominated you for an award please visit my blog to collect your award Jane x
great post! love those wellies. so cute they are.
and by the way, me and procrastination...we're like this ()...imagine those are crossed fingers.
I just love your garden boots! And that watering can.... and, um, all of your pictures! There's nothing wrong with a little procrastination and down time. I found myself doing the same during cleaning yesterday. And that site - those desserts - OH!
i'm all about procrastination, especially with wine! we don't have crave cupcakes but i'm sure i can manage to find a reasonable substitute. procrastination mode is about to fly into high gear, as school starts for me on thursday (and already my professor is emailing assignments to me BEFORE i have even ever been to class!).
silly girl...you're not procrastinating, your taking photos!
interestingly, i procrastinated all day yesterday about editing--i got to bed around 4 am and yes of course we ship to canada! i LOVE canada!!
are those your wellies/galoshes? i'm a sucker for a cute pair :)
thanks for the link! i'm checking it out now.
Man, do you know how to procrastinate or what? Outside, swanky books, new remote cord and CUPCAKES! All with fab pictures to chronicle the event!
lovely photos...i love the top one...what bliss, sitting outside, drinking wine and reading gourmet magazine. sounds perfect!
Yep, in those gorgeous boots, who would not rather procrastinate? Lovely photos!
those cupcakes!! lovely!
oh... i love that concept... socks that travel... we should do something with that!
Abnd wait, those are the coolest boots!
Love those boots!
Lounging around with Gourmet magazine sounds perfect to me! Lovely photos :-)
I could procrastinate for England! I'm supposed to be doing some online shopping right now but have found my way here instead! I have a stack of cookery books which I hardly ever cook from but boy do I spend a lot of time gazing at the photo's.
Procrastination is my middle name.
I'm having a give away. Stop by!
I like to think of it as meditation, not procrastination. One should never rush into things, but rather, as you are so wisely, and photogenically doing, take time to mull things over. Only fools RUSH in---and they probably never wear such elegant wellies!
i love your boots!! i have read your story about the rabbit...never seen such a rabbit!
my compliments for your awards and i have to say that your pictures are so nice, the colors, i especially love that one of you with a glass of wine... it inspires me a quite moment!
Oooooooh those red boots!!!
I master to well the art of procrastination and it is not always to everyone's liking!
Gosh! I love your hearty wellies!
firstly those are just wonderful wellies!
Secondly i never fail to be amazed at the beauty of you photographs and your ability to marry colours so well! thanks for always inspiring me
