that time of the year

Well, its that time of the year!!! Frank and I went out last night to Harrisonburg and had dinner, and did a little bit of shopping. We picked up the stuff to start our seeds for our garden. We are hoping that by starting our tomatoes this early, that maybe we will be able to get some early tomatoes. We are hoping to be able to get more canned this year than we did last year. Of course we are also hoping for a bit more rain this summer for the garden as well.  No, were not trying to be survivalists or anything like that, it just tastes better, saves money, and will get us through most of the winter.

I've been back in design mode for my crochet patterns. I'm finishing up a pattern now for my craftsy shop. Its a ballerina. She is so adorable!!! I'm about to start the step by step process where I take pictures to go with the pattern. It will be the third one I've made!!! I hope that this one does just as good, if not better than the Amish couple pattern I wrote.

I did get the quilt topper finished for last month. I just didn't finish making the quilt itself. I need to put it with batting and backing, and get it quilted. The next quilt I'm going to be working on is going to be a two month quilt. It has a lot of pieces to it. I knew from the beginning that there would possibly be a two month quilt topper to make. This one has over a thousand pieces.

My worm farms are going quite well!!! I'm seeing lots of babies in all totes, which is what we want. The other day I got in there and did the big turn. It was a little gross, but it had to be done. For the love of those worms and what they represent...it had to be done!!! LOL

Well that's about all from here for today!!! time to get back to Etsy shop work, and then onto that pattern for craftsy, and then to start planning out the next pattern I'm going to write for my shop.

Ta ta!
