We are thankful for the green houses - the one is still providing lots of spinach, lettuce, kale, beet greens and growing a few new things, and the other is housing all of our seedlings (they are mostly full-blown plants by now) and also our neighbour's seedlings/plants.
The rabbits were attacked by dogs and now we only have two left. Live and learn.
The bee hive is repaired and two brothers surprised us with two home-made hives :) :) The boys did some work last fall for a man and he still owes them money ... they hope to collect that and use it towards getting the hives ready.
Brianna and my sewing business is really taking off! I don't know if I ever made it public on my blog or not, but here is the Etsy link: Modestly Covered if anyone is interested. We have a blog too but it's pretty much the same as the store: Modestly Covered Blog. She does all the sewing for now and I do all the other stuff, but I do hope to have time to help her sew soon. She just does so good at it ... I might mess it all up! But I can at least cut things out, right? She is finished with a few tunics that I plan to post maybe today or tomorrow. We are sticking mostly to ready-made things right now due to time issues but hope to offer more custom order items soon. Anyone can request a custom order though :).
The boys have been busy as usual ... not only with work but also with the garden. We've been helping them as much as we can with the gardening.
The chickens are all doing well. The roosters are loud as ever (we really need to get them out of the city and might just eat them to solve the problem). We added 5 meat chickens and two ducks - the ducks might be for meat as well, I'm not sure yet.
Everything looks just lovely in your etsy store. Love the idea of the "smock" overcovering. Very modest and professional looking work. Congratulations to Brianna...and to you. Should you ever decide to ship to Canada...you'll have another customer. Otherwise doing my part by praying for your continued success.
ReplyDeleteI am not sure how much shipping would be to Canada but I'll have to check in to it and see if we can make that happen. I'll let you know if we do.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the encouragement!! Yes, Brianna is an excellent seamstress ... I am so thankful for this. What's even better is that she actually ENJOYS sewing. She said the other day, "mom, I just want to do something relaxing like read a book or sew or something." :)
Thanks again for the comment. God bless you.
