Wednesday fun

I spent the day watching the Watchmen movie. It was unintentional, as I had planned on getting a bunch of house work done today. However, my sister's boyfriend had just rented it and I totally love the movie, so I just couldn't say no to spending the next three hours planted on the couch.

I did manage to get a tiny bit of planting done. My cherry and wax peppers are doing so well that I saved the seeds and replanted some. AND I harvested seeds from my cherry tomatoes and replanted them a few days ago. Today they started to sprout!!

Also, I'll be listing this awesome little coin purse soon!

I haven't blogged about any of my wonderful handmade finds in awhile, and I wanted to make sure I mentioned these awesome soaps I got from IndulgentCreations! Having been enamored with handcrafted soaps for quite some time, I've purchased many online and my only complaint with them would be that they don't typically last as long as store-bought soap. However, these amazing soaps by IndulgentCreations not only smell delightful and leave me feeling squeaky clean, but they last forever! In fact, I'm still on my first bar! I think i'll shower twice a day just so I can try the next fabulous scent!

Veggies and more

My Cherry peppers are finally starting to turn red!

And my bell peppers are coming along nicely...

Tuesday Tuesday

It'ssssss........ MOVIE NIGHT!

We ended up going to the dog beach the other day. My dog had a BLAST!

Sunday Fun

It is Sunday, right? I took the day off from work yesterday, ended up not feeling well and spent most of the day sleeping. So, of course I woke up this morning all wide-eyed and bushy-tailed thinking it's Monday.

I think we might go snorkeling. Or to the dog beach. Or both.

no time for blogging

Well, I've been a bit busy lately; my sister even found me a part time job printing t-shirts for her boat crew! So, yay for extra cash and easy jobs.

And check this out: I'm in a treasury by bellasbowtique2008!I have been, in my spare time (instead of blogging) playing this cute game on facebook: And look! My little people go to the bathroom! Ha!

Well, it's been awhile since I blogged regularly. Mostly I blame Twitter, but I had a busy week. Several custom orders hit me at once (yay!) and I finally finished the watermelon zebra sandals!

And my mad gardening skills: These ones are cherry peppers. The larger one is about the size of a golf ball.Bell peppers. Two different plants.

My Cosmos have finally started to flower:Unfortunately, I'm having trouble with my lemon cukes. They form small buds like these:...and then they fall off and die. From what I've read this should be the perfect time of the year, but it's not fruiting :(
Is it not getting pollinated properly?
Also, my sugar snap peas are being the wusses of my garden. they seem to adore full sun but can't stand the rain. One of my biggest plants has started to turn yellow and brown and shriveling up, and the only thing I can attribute it to is the wet weather.
Darn it.
Ah, well, I did manage to gather enough leafy greens this morning to make myself a salad for lunch. Woo-hoo!Eating my veggies!

So, my garden has been growing...

My bell peppers are coming in:
And what is (I thought) a banana pepper, but I just picked it and fed it to my cousin and he says it's defintily not a banana pepper, so I dunno. I planted a variety, so I'm not sure what's what.

And some artichoke:
My cherry tomatoes!
AND.... guess what?? My Mr. Stripey transplants have sprouted their own tomatoes! I have two Mr. Stripeys!!

bleh

The past couple of days have been a total downer.
Even though the ducklings from the last post are super adorable, we've been trying to keep them out of our yard. Mostly because they need to learn to be ducks, the way ducks should, and also because we have four dogs. Well, Friday afternoon, we thought all the ducklings were gone when we let the dogs outside. One little duckling didn't make it. The other five were gathered and taken to a wildlife refuge, where hopefully they'll have a chance to start fresh.

The second piece of horribleness is that one of our dogs (not the duck killer) fell ill the same day. he got progressively worse and was taken to the vet Tuesday morning. The diagnosis wasn't good. the vet is scheduled to make a house call today at noon and we have to say goodbye to our little Tiger.

Stupid week.

Omigosh

Sunday!? Where has the week gone?
Well, since I slacked off yesterday, today I must head into the shop to work a bit. No one else will be there so I should be able to get some uninterrupted work done.

I checked on my plants this morning to find a lot more yellow blooms on my lemon cucumber:

And my cherry tomatoes have grown!
My sugar snap peas have more flowers (but only the one pea pod)And..... Introducing.... The 1st BELL PEPPER! WOO!
