Spring Agenda - Garden Design 2015

It is the end of February, time to plan my 2015 for my gardens and my show schedule.  Working on my vegetable garden layout for this year.  We have used a 3 year crop rotation for many years and it works well.  Also picking out which varieties of tomatoes and peppers we will grow for the season.  This is the fun part of the year for me.  Going through the seed catalogs and seeing what  is new and what is available this year. Mostly online since hard copies do no t seem to be sent out anymore.

Which shows I would like to do this year is a bit slower of a process.  I enjoy the Naples grape festival.  there are several shows which used to focus more on the art.  Now they push the wine and beer tents along with way too many stages of music.  Going through my notes from the past few years and working on the applications. 

I am asked often if I accept custom orders; yes I do.  Thinking back to all the commissions or special orders I have made, a few to share with you.

Winter Wonderland and 2015 Plans

Looking out my windows, it is certainly a winter wonderland.  We have about 1.5 feet of snow on the ground.  The good thing about snow cover is it helps my dormant pants survive the cold and freezing.  As you may know, I am an avid gardener.  The end of this month we will be starting our vegetable seeds for the season inside. 

As for where I am since my surgery just before Christmas.... almost took pics of my knee to show what had been done. I decided not to share the ugly part of the surgery.  I am in physical therapy weekly with a professional and daily at home.  As anyone who has had major surgery knows, it is quite exhausting. My new ACL ligament seems to be working well.  I am off crutches and walking about normal speed.  I can hardly wait to dig in my garden. 

What is going on for my jewelry business?  Well I had to take some down time during the early part of my recovery.  Now I am getting back to making new pieces and deciding what shows to do in 2015. More about what shows I plan to be in and what I am working on in future posts.   I am selling on line is several places with links below. 

Here are a few of my newly listed pieces.  Two sterling pendants and a pair of earrings. 

stay tuned
