Boy I've Been Busy!

Well I got a bug in my butt and here is what I've been doing.
Ollie is my sweetie.

I have been on a recycling kick.I had alot of denium.

Maxi skirt.

Same one.

My big baby now.

The Crown of Thorns were beautiful this year.

 Christmas ornaments


Thats an apron made out of denium.


My tea plant decided to put out a bunch blooms this year.

Going to start growing Moringa trees this spring.Hit me up if you want one.




More ornaments I made.
I am now a hunters soap maker!

Another picture of that little puppy who grew into this cow.

I made my own wreath this year.


So I have been busy making stuff,cleaning stuff out of my closet. I've lost over 80 pounds and was trying to figure out what to do with the clothes I couldn't wear. I've got another skirt on the table I have yet to sew. 

The garden did ok but it was late coming in.We didn't have enough rain at first and alot of my plants died but my hot peppers and cherry tomatoes did ok. My yardlongs did great,ate off the few plants I planted all summer. The raised beds are needing more dirt,I did a hugelkutlur bed on one and just added leaves and compost on the other. I got alot of marigolds this year too.No need in buying any seeds!

I also now have my logo for the homestead.
Very excited for that. If you see it,that's me!

Well I am settled in. Doing good so far.Next year will have one less payment on this place.Been doing alot of scouting out on the hill next to the house and came to the conclusion that some of it will have to become a forest garden.So much potential going on there. I've been waiting til this place is paid off before I do any major changes to it,but already making it ours.

The first of this year was so bad,me coming down with shingles which I'm finally bouncing back from that.Did a lot of crying too.It was too much all at once. Getting Ollie was a blessing because he calmed me down,I can't explain it. Now I feel fine.

I now have 5 dragon fruit trees.3 avocado trees. I have so many more to get. Hubstead is gonna put some dwarf fruit trees in the back,I still have a fig tree and elderberry bush to get.Hopefully we can get them to grow. The Moringa trees will have to be put in pots and it said you can keep them trimmed to grow in pots. Moringas can only grow in zones 9-11.They don't like the cold. I'll get them growing and see. I have a plant light(finally) coming the first of next month. Did cut open a persimmon seed and guess,we got a spoon,which means snow this year. In the process of getting ready for that.yeah I do believe in stuff like that. 

I hope you enjoyed my page. Leave a reply so I can tell ya there. I am so excited again for whats going on. Its getting a little easier every year.Thanks Ya'll!
