I'm back...with pictures!

Well...seems like forever ago when I posted about deck staining. We did accomplish the feat and the results are beautiful. I have added a new album of pics to show off our hard work.

So, this weekend is Mom's Day. I am pleased to say that I got a riding lawn mower as my gift! Shocked are you? Well, after mowing this mountain lawn with a push mower for 3 years, I am so thrilled to get a riding lawn mower that I can't stand it! Nothing is flat on this lawn! Now, I just have to learn how NOT to fall off the mountain!

I have also been busy making jewelry. I am participating in a festival this weekend, and hope to sell some of my wares. Being the day before Mother's Day, I should have a bit of business. I am actually trying to wind this jewelry business down. I started making jewelry in 2002 or so, down in Florida. Had a good time selling it...home parties and such. Now, I live in the land of jewelry makers! It's difficult to even get a spot in a local craftshow. So, I've been seeing what I can make out of the bits and pieces I have collected, without buying any new supplies. I am pleasantly surprised at what I've been able to produce.

Now I just have to finish up and get my dining room table cleared off, and the house cleaned, for company starting Sunday....

The whirlwind never stops!
