New Lights

Yeah! I finally got some new lights so I can take pictures of my Coffee Condoms inside during the winter. It has been so dark inside and so cold outside that I haven't listed anything in a while. But that has all changed now! Each light is 500 watts! I can even take pictures in the evening!

So check out my shoppe to see the new Coffee Condom. There will be more going up in the next few days.

Promise

The promise of spring! I am so happy!



We got out into the garden today and cleaned up some of the plants. It was so nice to get my fingers dirty. I was hoping to see some bulbs poking out, but hadn't found any until I was about to go in. Then I noticed 3 little purple buds poking themselves out of the ground. I almost missed them because of their colour. I was so excited!! The poppies are also starting to show a bit of green. We also saw a bunch of ladybugs! I am so glad they survived the winter. Yeah! Spring is on its way.

Next weekend we are heading to a heritage plant sale. Hans can hardly wait to get his hands on some tomatoes.

Mother Nature has a sense of humor

I do believe that Mother Nature has a sense of humor! We had almost a week of beautiful weather. It got up to 16C and the snow had just all melted. We even had rain the other night! The following evening, it started snowing an overnight we got over 12cm of snow!! That's almost 5 inches-- overnight!! By the next afternoon, at least the roads had melted, but there is still snow on the ground and it may snow again tonight. By Saturday, we are going to be into a Chinook again and it is supposed to be up to 16C again!!! She is such a tease!! I was out an about without a coat a couple of days ago in short sleeves!!

I had a sale this week!! Yes, it was my dear sis-in-law, but it was still a sale!! LOL! She purchased 3 of my bookmarks. I would love to find some coffee/tea related charms to make more of these bookmarks so that I could keep in that theme for my Etsy shop. I finally got a car wash today and put on my Etsy shop address decal that I got from HardcoreBaby . It is really cool! I put it on the back window of the van in hopes that people behind me will notice it.

The Coffee Condoms are all knitted up, now I am just adding the trim on them. They will be done and on their way by this weekend!! It has taken me a lot longer to make them than I thought they would. I think I have been doing too many other things at the same time. The basement/craft room is looking great though and DD#1 has a door on her room finally!! I will leave you today with a few pictures of the new additions.
