Slacking!!!

I have so been slacking at posting lately!! I have been so busy with lots of projects. I finally finished my dress last week. Over the weekend I made a purse...just a simple one. I am currently working on making a cute skirt for myself...and a present for someone else. Don't want to mention the who or the what yet. I haven't made much in the jewelry realm for awhile. It seems as though I have been in a rut. I guess when I decided not to buy any more beads, it kind of put me at a complete stand still. I did force myself to make a bracelet, and a couple earrings a couple weeks ago....just for old time sake. I just can't get into it like I was. I haven't even touched my camera since before Christmas (or at least it seems that way.) I'll try to post pics of the dress and the purse when I get around to taking the pictures.

On another note...I am trying my hand at "farming" this year. I have planted Strawberries, Raspberries, Tomatoes, Lettuce, Onions, Chamomile, Lavender, and Cilantro. I have also planted some Green beans from seed, but they have yet to pop out yet so not so sure about that one! I tried my hand at Basil last year, and I didn't do so well...so we'll see about this one!!

I have always wanted to be one of those self-reliant persons, that could live off the land...its just my thumb is more yellow-brown than green...but we'll see! Practice makes perfect, I suppose!
