I have been looking at those Topsy Turvy Tomato and Strawberry planters and wonder if they actually work. I don’t have room in our back yard for a garden, let alone enough sunlight. I was thinking about getting a stand and having these planters out front.
I love home grown tomatoes, and would like to have my own strawberries, so I can make my jam.
The hubby is downstairs making lots of noise, hopefully this will be the year he finishes the guitar he is making for our nephew. Then he can get started on the next one, which I believe is for him again. He was showing me this morning the style he wants to do, when the power went out. This led us to going around unplugging all of the appliances, don’t need any of them frying with a surge of electricity. We hesitated as to whether or not we were going to continue with our plans of going to Burley Park for the flea market. We ended up going, and boy was it hot and muggy after all the rain! Still not sure why we go every year, its all junk there and I never buy anything. John found a few things, as did Trent. There was a sign at one of the booths that said “hgh products here”. I had no idea what it was for, so we kept right on walking, but looked it up when we got home, and it had to do with growth hormones. Now why would you be selling this at a flea market!?! To each their own.
With our power back on, he’s working in the basement, and I started the laundry and will be knitting in between loads of laundry.
I am waiting for the day that my oldest moves out so I can turn his bedroom into my craft room. I am looking at modern furniture styles. I have been browsing the internet for some ideas and love how this room is designed.
I think I would go with a shade of purple on the walls though. I’ve told my hubby of my plans, and he just rolled his eyes, as he knows that somehow he will be roped in some how with this “project” of mine! Isn’t that what hubby’s are for??
I want to find a new dining room table. The one we have has seen better days, well the chairs anyways. Not sure what my hubby will say, but I am ready for a change. I want to redo the whole dining room, we have the painting done, so now its time for the rest. I am checking the sale ads for the perfect dining room set. I’d like to get one like my in laws that have several extensions and lots of chairs. Then we can start having the family over here for family dinners, to give my in laws a break.
I like this one, but wish it had extra extensions. I am still holding out for my in laws to buy a new one so we can have their old one, even thought they said we don’t want it. Oh but I do! I will have ample room to do my crafts, until I get my craft room, either in this house or our next house.
I want to make some curtains for the dining room as well, my sewing is getting a little better. Almost can sew a straight line! I need to practice some more and then I think I will have the hang of it. Or I could just hire my cousin to do all my sewing!
I went to the wood store with my hubby today to help him decide what kind of wood he wants to make the next guitar out of. Of course he wants to get more of the cocobolo wood, but that is banned from the house as he is very allergic to the oils on the wood. While looking at all the different kinds of wood they had I noticed that his adult acne is flaring up again. He just can’t catch a break from this. I am hoping he doesn’t break out with the cystic acne, as those hurt something awful.
We did find a hunk of spalted beech that we liked, but couldn’t find any mahogany that he wanted so we passed on buying any wood today. I told him to finish up the one he is making for our nephew, then we can do some searching again for the one he wants to make for himself.
