Christina in Canada

[xinas_island]

NAME: Christina
AGE: 47
INTERESTS & HOBBIES: I have a lot of amateur/just for fun interests and hobbies really.

📸 I like taking pictures and try to include them in most posts I write.
We have four cats (two boys, two girls), so there will be pictures scattered about in future posts of them of course. 🐈‍⬛🐈🐈‍⬛🐈
🖌️🎨I attempt to do crafty things sometimes (currently miniature kits my husband gave me for Christmas).
I like DIY things when the mood hits. I am not above slapping paint on walls or cabinets in our house to freshen things up. *lol*
I try to take progress pictures of garden things as they grow and look pretty (or not so pretty, depending on how things go *lol*). That's hit or miss. *lol*

🪴🪴🪴🪴🪴🪴🪴🪴🪴Oh! And I'm almost a year into trying to keep houseplants alive (so far so good *knock wood*). Photos of houseplants will be posted from time to time too. I watch a lot of planty content on YouTube now days. *lol* SOoo many plant vLoggers out there.

If you don't mind inane rambles (like this post, for example🤣), chitter-chatter about hobbies and pets, random photo posts, and mundane life blogging content feel free to ADD ME. 😁

LOOKING FOR: People who are maybe a bit crafty &/or have some of the same interests would be nice, but not required. Daily life posting is a win. Photo posting would be awesome.




I do like having older TV shows like Frasier, M*A*S*H, or the Monkees on in the background while I do stuff around the house. Not really a hobby I guess, more a quirk.😸

This is me (and our tuxedo kitty Elvis)

Hello! Crafty, gardening sort here. I gave up having more cats when I met my husband (who is very allergic) so I am happy to have vicarious photos of other people’s! I post about daily life and whatever XD

I photo post in spurts.

Hiya 😁 Added you back.

Hi Christina! ^_^

I'm Claire! I have two female cats at the moment! I am nervous about adding male cats since I don't want them to fight.
My bird flew south for the winter - I've been ululating about that to all my friends since he was a birthday present. (A cockatiel - I raised so many when I was younger the market became saturated and wouldn't accept any more. My sister doesn't think I'm a good parrot guardian and has been yelling at me ever since. I may have been distracted studying macroeconomics at the time. I still don't know anything about micro besides what my macro book says.)

When I was younger, my friend Rachel put a recording of me playing the oboe on Youtube, but it's obvious I wasn't using a metronome, so I am embarrassed to share it.

My parents have Frasier and M*A*S*H on in the background all the time while something's on the stove or something.

Hi Claire *waves* Adding you.

Our Kitties are both brother/sister pairings, and so we had that advantage going for us I think. Plus we watched a lot of Jackson Galaxy videos on YouTube to learn how to add the second set to our family calmly and without too many issues after a year of just the one set.

Added you back! ^_^

[claire_chan]

I've read of Jackson Galaxy, I have two books about living in a multi-cat household, but I haven't watched him that extensively because I was busy tending to my birds (I have raised cockatiels for twenty-one years).

Some day I hope to be able to afford a conure. My family has been apprehensive seeing the fates of my cockatiels (flown off on a strong thermal) but they did get me a lovely book about parrots.

You sound like my cup of tea. I have four pets (two cats, two dogs). I like to craft (knit, crochet, embroider) in addition to learning how to play the ukulele. I used to watch the Monkees TV show with my best friend in 6th grade, haha.

[xinas_island]

Added you back. 😁
I loved watching the Monkees in the 80s, and kind of caught the Monkees bug again in the past decade. I got bluray of the tv show and watch the episodes a lot. Good clean and silly fun on in the background 😁

[beautifulsuffering]

You seem very interesting and I'm always open to have more plant lovers and cat lovers in my life. Care to be friends?

[xinas_island]

Aww, thanks.
And, sure 😁 Added you.

Hi, I would like to add you, I think we have a few things in common. Crafts, and old sit coms, lol.

my icon is a photo of me, on this comment.

I got as far as cats and decided I'm adding you!

[xinas_island]

*lol* Added you back. 😺

[cdayzee]

What a cute picture of you & one of your kitties! I enjoy cats but I no longer have any. I also like picture posts & learning about people.

I'm a longtime married female with 3 adult children & 4 grandchildren. I mainly post about my life. Although I'm not at all crafty lol.

Add?

[xinas_island]

😺💞 Thank you. And yes, feel free to add me. 😁

[dandylover1]

I am totally blind, and my screen reader cannot recognise images. But if you post enough textual content, I think that reading your journal can be fun. I love cats and I also like crafts and gardening, if that helps. *smile*

[xinas_island]

Added you back. Welcome, and I hope that you enjoy my ramblings. 😁

[dandylover1]

Thank you. I hope you enjoy mine as well.

[seizetheday]

You seem interesting, I have added you!

[xinas_island]

Added you back 😁

[mybeautifulwars]

I, too, am celebrating somehow keeping a houseplant alive going on almost a year. I'm 46 and that's the first time in my life...

I'm a bit of a random rambler about daily stuff and brain dumps of nonsense. Also quite artsy, animal lover, and quirky. Though we seem to have many things in common, you sealed the deal with the Monkees. Now we are obligated to be friends. :-p

[xinas_island]

Added 🥳😁

[yellowrosess]

Elvis is so cute! *_*

I like taking pics as well and post pics in most of my entries and I don't mind having friends who post pics too.

I would love to get to know you better! Friends? <3333

[xinas_island]

Thank you =) And sure!
