Spring has sprung....

....and it is 35 degrees outside!!!! Oh well, I know warmer weather will be here soon. I have been working really hard on getting my business going, and I just did a craft show and have a few more shows lined up. The show I did on Friday was not great, I only sold 2 shirts, but I got a lot of people looking and got a lot of nice compliments. I need to find a show that has my audience. This show was juried but because they had empty spaces, they let everyone in so there were some vendors selling things cheap and that hurt the rest of us. I am hopeful for the vending gig I have next weekend at a bellydance workshop. I have a ton of fabric set aside to make choli tops. I have also been working closely with my brother helping him get his photography business up and running. He will be at the Belly Jam and that is another reason I am looking forward to it. When we work together there is definatley synergy.



I started planting my victory garden. I prefer this term to "recession garden" I feel that is not a term that encourages plant growth! I weeded the garden area and planted seeds for the veggies that are colder weather plants. I have 2 types of lettuce, spinach, peas and carrots. I am going to do the rest in pots (more specifically recycled coffee cans). I am going to keep some of the herbs inside for a year round garden. This is my first major gardening effort and I hope it works out well. I have already started harvesting dandelion greens for the bunnies and I think it would be great to have lots of veggies and berries to store and eat.



Well, I hope to keep this site a little more updated, hopefully my brother will inspire me to keep up with it!
