Side Tracked, But Still Here...

Do you ever feel like you can't just keep up, and you've got to pick through things that you let slide a bit?

I think I'm going to be in that place through the end of May… 

By then, I'll be another year older.

I will be turning 36 - the point where I am in my 30's - but on the other half, closer to 40. Ok, that just looks weird typing it out like that (do you ever have one of those moments?)

One of the thing I am not letting slide...

And the other…

No matter if he is learning to drive - through my gardens.

They will grow back...

Poor little guy is going to have to go to the Dr. tomorrow morning to get his eyes checked out.

He has had swollen sinuses (just look at how tired he looks - he isn't) and oozing eyes.

Some sort of infection (it's yellow ooze).

Hopefully something they some antibiotics can take care of, because the ointment they gave us a couple of days ago only helped so much…

Today after my Master Gardener Training, I helped out for a few hours with plant related activities for AG Day through University of Delaware. 

Pictured are a bunch of the herb baskets that a lot of people helped to pull together today. 

More to do tomorrow as well as a preview plant sale (donated plants).

I made some plant/herb markers for the Silent Auction as well as for a Herb basket for the silent auction. They are double sided with a large line curls texture on the back and glazed all over.
Hopefully I will get them into my Etsy shop for taking orders.
Is there a demand or want for them?

And the light blue porcelain pendant (blood root impression) pictured above has a mate, and they were both made into pendants for two necklaces as a set going into the silent auction as well.

I've got AG Day, an exam, two different apprentice projects (one butterfly garden related idea, one shade garden idea - both focusing on using native plants), plant donations to get together for the Wilmington Flower Market, and MG plant swap next week, and that is in addition to the normal routine around the house & family. The house is a bit of a mess, but at least the family is being taken care of :)

I think I'm at least seeing a light at the end of the tunnel with where my busy times of the year are going to be as far as gardening and studio work goes…

And just FYI - if you want to get any of the clay pieces in my Etsy shop on sale - you've got until the end of the day on Saturday (4/30/11) - then they go back to regular price…

I'd love to make any of those clay pieces into a finished jewelry piece for you!

Thanks for stopping by...
