FLY LADY - Week 5

 

Good afternoon!

While this is supposed to be the Basement week, there's too much going on in the studio for me to even think about cleaning the basement, thus the sign.

The studio did not get the deep cleaning I was hoping for last week. I may or may not have mentioned that I popped a rip and really messed up some muscles in that area. I had thought a couple of days and I'd be good to go. Instead, I spent the first half of the week between binge watching tv, reading and pain med induced naps. I'm still having to be cautious when I bend over and I have to tell you, I'm dreading getting out on the lawn mower this evening but it has to be done. The yard looks close enough to bale now and we have rain moving in tomorrow and is to hang in the majority of the week. 

I've still not planted the garden. Folks I know south of me still haven't either and they sell a lot at Farmer's markets in the Ava MO area. Check out their videos at Living Traditions Homestead.

I'll try to have some pictures later in the week. I have tomato seedlings I need to up-plant as well as cantaloupe and zuccini that need in the ground, but bending over for that length of time isn't happening so I just keep them in the greenhouse at night and have been hardening them off during the day. I'm hoping once the rain passes this week I can do that.

So... no basement this week. Lifting, hauling just isn't in my wheelhouse at the moment. Maybe next week when Bob is home to help.

This week is all about creating in the studio. The end of the month brings three creative collaborations that I take part in as a way of networking with other artists. Then Julie, at DearJulieJulie (whom I'm on the design team for) is doing a collab with CaraBrandonCreations. They've each created a set of seven digital sheets. We will showcase a set each day from May 27 - June 2. I want to try and get as many of those up and done as I can Wednesday and Thursday to free up my weekend for other things.

Have you planted a garden? What have you planted and are you trying anything new? Inquiring minds want to know.
