Hooray! My basement is finally finished! Well it has been for some time, truth be told. I've neglected my blogs once again. It seems to happen each time I vow to myself and to the blogosphere that I am going to be more regular in my postings. Oh well! Time flies when you're planning and working!
With the basement being finished I've found myself working a lot on my business and things that concern it. Mainly the website, branding, and forms of various types. It's exciting but it's a lot of work. you can see my progress at my site: A Thread In Time. Add to that my daytime job and well...there are less hours in a day than I would like sometimes.
The best news is that I'm pregnant again and we are expecting the newest addition to our family in November. It's very exciting but I've forgotten how tiring pregnancy can be. I'm still in the first trimester so hopefully I have three months of hopefully normal energy levels coming!
Since we found out that I'm pregnant we decided to forgo the two raised beds we were planning on building for our garden this year. Between work and my shop and family time my DH and I agreed that in time, most of the work would fall to him which wouldn't be really fair. The compromise was that we would do a few containers of things that would be fun and useful. This year we've decided to stick to a few basic herbs, a couple of blueberry bushes, and three strawberry plants. It's not much but the berry plants will allow our son to pick the few fruits off the plants and begin to understand where his food comes from which we feel is important. I've also planted a wisteria vine and some perennials in the hanging baskets that we have decorating our deck. Last year I made the mistake of buying annuals. I really don't want to have to replant those every year. I would rather spend my time on edibles.
