I never seem to have the energy on the days I really need it! Procrastination is the major problem... the short version. ... Today I just feel lazy! But I did find my spare rib recipe, and everything is ready for dinner, saucy spare ribs, baked potatoe, asparagus with lemon, and popovers. That is my project for the day!!! It's a dogs life today. Just gonna go with the flow. Feel like an old cliche!!! And this head-ache doesn't help. The sun has also vanished. I am just full of excuses. I will be having a busy day tomorowo if I don't do any outside work today. So be it! I know it will not take us long to clean up and rip up more garden. It looks so small right now when I go back there, but in photo's it looks so much bigger!!! I checked on all my dried flowers I did last fall, really nice. I need to make more paper and use some of what I have in the paper. I think I will waite to do that outside, last time I made paper in the kitchen , I had a major mess. Had to roll my

Going from one project to another. Slowly things are coming together in the right order. The garden has been designed, plant list made, Gareden Journal is in full swing! I just need to get some more sticks and a few good size branches. I grab the hatchett at Brian's tomorow afternoon. I hope it doesn't rain! And if it does it warms up a bit. As of today I am in the hands of weather... I can't do any staking until the ground gets a bit more unfrozen. I have time , the compost will be here in May. Enough time to prep everything. I hope it is the start of a warmer summer than last year. The Fall saved me last year. Made a few squares, I am knitting a few for the variety, but I do it so slow, I am faster crotcheting. But I really like the look , and some yarns cannot be crotched with, I can't see the stiches, so I need to knit the squares. I have the time, as long as I can get a few done a day, I'll have enough by the end of may to start putting a good variety together

Learned a lesson today, even though it has been warm out, the sun has been shining, the ground still is frozen!!! Jumping the gun a bit!!! The Iris's are starting to come out, the poppies are greening, in the window garden viola's are showing up. Allot of rock picking has to be done, but that is my fault. I dumped all my pots and the container dirt in the garden, all of them had rocks for drainage, for some reason I never got to that last fall. For now just getting tha raking done around is enough. I am getting 7 yards of compost, allot of shoveling is coming my way! The main vegtable garden is getting a few feet wider and longer, the sunflower bed is getting wider, lily bed wider. And the Great Pumkin Patch is getting much bigger with a gourd wall, going into a partial shade to full shade garden about four feet deep. On the side of the apartment is a rhubarb patch I cleaned out yesterday, green sprouts there also. It belongs to the house next door, but no one has ever done an

Changed the blog. This will be my Etsy page name, so just makes sense to co the same with the blog. Maybe now I can organize things a bit better. All the prep work is coming along just fine. If I was a happy chick...I would be very pleased with myself!!!! The projects I am working on now are coming along, a few just need the finishing touches, and the rest, well I need a few more supplies, so we are saving up for the things that are needed. I will get going by mid-summer, with putting up the site, and have stock to back it up. At least I have chosen items I am comftorble working on, and enjoy. I know I have a few harder projects I keep putting off because it is just easier to work on the easy one, and that would be all the knitting and crotcheting. Spending too much of my time on those projects. The Gardening season is soon here! I have my greenhouse going in the hallway. So the games begin!!!! The gardens will be each getting a few feet bigger, and a few new ones will be started. S

I have decided I must put myself on a work schedule in order to get my business off the ground before I drop dead. I am up early, so by 8:00 a.m. I am always ready for the day. Things are piling up, I make my list longer, frustration sets in,and nothing gets done. So... This week-end I will set- up a work schedule around my Doc appointments, and stick to it. This week-end the Gardening projects will be finished, all set up to start seeds. So the week will be clear to start a fresh approach to getting things done. I have been feeling so worthless not working, but I need to get that out of my head, I can get a business going, I have done it before, I can do it again!!! Energy... I know I have a few winners... The magnets are beautiful, and the pillows will be so funky, an InteriorDesigners Dream!!! The Agate Wine Corks, and my line of note cards and journals. Out of the clothing gig, but in the back of my mind are Aprons, I love them! And so easy to make. This is my problem, too many ide
