Had a busy weekend...

15 years ago

I had a bad case of spring fever this past weekend. I pulled out the glass dishes and the GE II. Check out my photobucket to see what I made. I also added some pictures of my three kids and my boyfriend. I made the blue totem, four plate flowers, and the green teacup feeder. Please give me your opinion?

Thanks All..

Gal you sure did have a touch of the ole spring fever. Me too, but didn't get creative. Got sore muscles instead Raked leaves. Anyway Like your totems and you green feeder. What a fine looking family you have. You are blessed for sure.

Micki, Your BF looks like Bruce Willis in the face!!!!!! Your kids are at that fun age I see. LOL I had a better time planning my son's homecoming and prom dances than he did!!!!
I really love all of your glass art. My most favorite is the chrystal clear stacked plate centerpiece. GORGEOUS AND RICH!!!! Susie

Hi Harry! I wish that you live closer, I would invite you for lunch today.:) This is the first time that I am growing the Okinawa sweet potato, I really have a small garden so I planted them around the blackberries and sugarcane. I kept cutting the vines so they wouldn't run over other places. You can keep the vines as small as the bush ones cutting them. Next warm season I am going to plant them in the raised beds. I will double the amount, let's say if I am growing 6 slips of the bush porto rico, I will grow 12 of the Okinawa. The color keeps a deep purple even after cooking, I suppose after some curing they will taste better. They are excellent now! You must be busy shelling all those BJBB,lol. I am very busy too making papaya chips in the dehydrator, they taste good with salt like french fries but better for you... Thank you Wildatheart - You should try to do a lot of gardening now since you like the cold, me on the other hand likes the heat, after living in Arizona for 10 years I put gloves for anything. This morning when I went to walk my dog on the trail, I was thinking that is time to take out the leather gloves to walk and I had scarf too.lol. Silvia

Busy weekend. I got my posts set for the rails for my movable buildings, both buildings! I still need to set the posts for the 2nd position, but I have until early April to get that done! I can now go ahead and start building up on all hoop structures. I am going to finish bending the hoops on Tuesday or Thursday. Meanwhile, I will work on side walls, replacing hoops with metal ones and repair endwalls. I did get 228 tomatoes started and about the same amount of broccoli. I need to start some early peppers, but I ran out of time. I will work on that this week. We missed the snow. Most went east of here. We probably have around an inch. I am SO HAPPY! Probably will be all gone by mid week. Marla: I always feel better after getting outside when I feel an illness coming on. Brook: That is some record. As a teacher, too many of my kids share their illnesses. We have had a really sick year at school. Surprisingly, not too bad at our house. Jay

Dorothy, Like Carol, I always use pickling cukes. Once I got my cukes confused while picking and made some pickles from slicing cukes and it did not give me good pickles. Sometimes I get soft pickles and sometimes I don't even when I use pickling cukes. I think it may hinge on how fresh the cukes were and how small. I get firmer pickles when I pick them small and pickle them the same day. I also sometimes do a lime soak, or ice bath soak for 12 or 24 hours, and this year I'm going to try the pasteurization process where you pasteurize them at 180 degrees for 30 minutes in the canner instead of boiling them. I want to see if that does make them firmer. They say it does, but I never believe stuff like that until I try it myself and see it with my own two eyes. Heather, Plants are individuals, just like people, and different ones (every different plants of the same variety) react differently to different stresses. That's why one variety is affected and not another. Even within a variety, you'll see some plants have it and others not. I have 18 'Heidi' paste tomato plants, and 2 of them have had some fruit with BER and the others haven't, and they all grow in two long rows side by side. It happens. Dawn

Fairegold, Don't feel guilty or bad about being firm with her...sometimes that is just what they need. When my mom first moved in, she was fighting me on everything and I know it was her fight for independence, her last shred of it and I was aware of it and tried so hard to respect her feelings, but when she pushed me just too far one day, we got into it and her reply to me was "what are you gonna do about it?" I said "you'll leave me no choice but to put you in a nursing home" and she backed off quickly. Of course, I couldn't sleep all nite, feeling so guilty, but I did not take it back. The next day, I called the social worker and told her what happened and she told me it was the right thing to do...I had drawn a line, letting her know she couldn't push me beyond that point. You know, we are only human, we can only withstand so much...right or wrong, good or bad, sometimes we say things...God bless you for being there for her all the time....let it go....breathe....be well, Mimi

Great looking family, BF, glass art and bathroom floor! I was admiring your family and glass pieces and was ready to comment but saw October17's comment about your bathroom floor. Of course, I had to go back to investigate. Sure enough, you do have an awesome bathroom floor! Is that stained glass?

I can't wait to see your stuff out in the garden (hopefully we will see green one day)!

Gosh, Smick, bottle me up some of your Spring Fever. I've got a pile of crystal and cobalt to make two totems and no "ooomph" to do them. I love yours, especially the crystal one. And loved looking thru your album. Those stained glass stepping stones are fabulous. Especially the carousel horse. And your bathroom tile...WOW. You do amazing work, I had no idea.

And to top it off...you have "Bruce Willis in a cowboy hat".
What a hunk! But then there's nothing quite like a cowboy!

Great projects, smicker! My fav this time is the blue ruffled flower plate...well, I like 'em all...and especially enjoy seeing your stepping stones again & all your wonderful mosaic work! Just AWESOME!!!

Those 3 kids look like "angels" (or in disquise)...I bet they keep you hoppin' and sane!!! Thanks for sharing your family (and BF, too!)...Spring has not sprung here yet...but we had a good taste of it yesterday! 55 degrees & today low 30's...this too shall pass! Jeanne S.

Thank you everyone for the compliments. The kids are definately in disguise Jeanne! They are all good kids but I wouldn't compare them to angels (unless they are sleeping) LOL. I won't tell Chris all the nice things you have all said about him (I wouldn't want his head to blow up) :) I have always thought he was pretty good looking too. Even before we got together...Marlene, most of the stepping stones that actually made it to my garden were made by my daughter. The designs are mine but all of the ones I made myself were sold or given as gifts. I kept the ones that the kids made because they mean more to me. Luna Lena, yes the floor is all stained glass. The girls and I did that right after we moved in here almost 3 years ago. (I designed it and the girls helped doing some of the cutting and grinding of the glass. Rosemarie, No I didn't make the glow in the dark gazing ball. I bought that at Meijer.

I like your clear stacked plates. That would be a perfect tiaer serving dish of scones for an afternoon tea. What do you use it for?
Great job on everything, even 'dem kids!

I really like the cut crystal totem! I see a lot of colorful Christmas cookies on it.
And I am so glad to see someone else making flower plates besides me.
I had some posted on Trash to Treasure.

And what great looking family members. I remember way back when mine were that age.

Like katishooked, I didn't get creative either, just worked outside and cut bushes and small oaks that had grown over the past couple of years. I was aching that night!
