Weekend At Home

So much to do all of the time. My husband and I have friends who have decided to marry and want to have their wedding in our home garden. So we have been very busy with spring yard work. We have removed two older walnut trees and are preparing the soil for grass plugs. We also ordered from Edmonds 4 tree roses and two climbing roses to fill out a couple of flower beds. Today I purchased 3 white azaleas for the east side of our house and a flat of purple violas, also another Tropicana Canas for the front border.

When we started the sun room renovation last spring the spa was disconnected and has sat void of water until today. So maybe tomorrow it will be warm enough to get in. We have missed using the spa, so we are really looking forward to some spa time. I like to sit in the spa with a cup of coffee on Sunday mornings. Very relaxing!

Tomorrow I will watch the Academy Awards and spend some time in my sewing room.

Oh I wanted to mention the flock of white cranes that have been hanging out in the walnut orchard that has been flood irrigated by our property. They have been perching on the top limbs of a very large pine tree in our neighbors yard and walking through the water. I have been trying to catch a picture but when I get close they fly off and circle back when I retreat. They are so beautiful.

Where does the time go.

Well here I am on a Saturday A.M. Wishing I was staying home in my pajamas and sewing for the day, but not until tomorrow, which is Super Bowl Sunday. I will be on my own most of the day. No husband to keep up with and no meals to prepare, and no Georgia (she is visiting her other grandmother). It's been so long ago since I posted, i'm not sure were to start. We had a great retail Christmas at Morrison's Silkscreen and Embroidery. We sold twice the lettermans jackets as the year before. I hosted the Material Girls Christmas party at the beginning of December, and also hosted my family's Christmas dinner. In January I attended Road to California with 3 of my dear quilting friends, and even took a whole cloth design class, which was very successful for me (another project to work on). At the end of that same week I attened the ISS Show in Long Beach. This is a very large show that features equipment, supplies, garments and classes for the screen printing and embroidery industry. I took three classes and walked the show all in two days and I was very tired after that week. MSE (Morrison's Silkscreen and Embroidery)is traditionally slower paced in January, but we have been chasing ourselves to keep up with the business coming into our shop, which is just outstanding. Maybe there is a turnaround happening. Today Steve will be open from 10 to 3 pm, and I will have a shirt table at China Alley for the Chinese New Years celebration. I will be selling previous year's Moon Festival Shirts at a reduced price of $5.00 ea.

Time to get a shower and dressed for the day's activities. I do have some pictures to post, maybe later today.
