Spinning Out!

Good Tuesday morning to you!  I can't believe it has been one week since I have posted!  I titled this post spinning out, because that is how I feel.  Like I am spinning out of control!!!   I am so very grateful for all of the orders I have received!!  I have been working fast and furiously to fill all of my orders in a timely fashion.  My darling daughter Erika keeps wearing my wares, and every time she goes out, she comes home with more orders!  That girl is a salesman(woman)!!!   So, for the most part, I have been absent due to the busyness of my life.   Here are some of the orders that have gone out this past week.

Winter white and black have been, by far and away, the most popular colors.  Wait til you see my winter white with a deep red flower!  So holiday(ish) I think.
Erika's friend Tiana ordered a red head band with bow for her beautiful little girl.

She ordered this to take with her Christmas photos.  This is just a try on.  I was worried about the size, because she is soooo tiny!  Poor baby had a scrape on her face.  She is so pretty, that Mads!!!  Tiana, I got your order for the two winter white bands, and will get those to you by the weekend.  Thank you!
This week, the orders are all about infinity scarves and ear warmers to match!!   And Sarah, your gray infinity scarf and matching ear warmer, along with your Mom's ear warmer are ready to ship!  I hope you like them!!!
I went on a quilt shop hop with my friend Jae last weekend.  We had a ball!  We also made a pit stop at Velona's yarn shop.  I had a ball!!!   On our last stop, we ran into Joann's for something, and they had their Ott lites all on sale for 50% off.  If you sew, you know Ott Lites.  I have a small desk top Ott lite, and I LOVE it.  I splurged and bought myself the floor lamp, with gooseneck lite and attached magnifier.  Wow....do I ever recommend this!!!

Now I can sit in the family room at night with Greg and work on my orders.  During the day I hide my stash of yarns and projects next to the chair by the fireplace.  My pile keeps growing!

I have been noticing feather explosions all over the grove and yards!  Now I know why.  My chickens are molting.  And this is why they are not all laying eggs every day.  I am only getting about 4 eggs a day.  Usually, each will lay daily.  I am missing my 7 eggs a day!!  And so are the people who I give eggs to!!!

Their coop looks like a pillow fight took place!!

I climbed up into the avocado tree this morning (just the lowest branch Mom) to take this.  I have a couple of escapees every day from the run.  I get up and feed them early, and I let them out of the coop and into the run.  Then after collecting eggs, about noon, they can free range.  But every day, one or two escape.  I think I have figured out where they are getting out now though.

I made homemade applesauce a few days ago with apples from when we went apple picking.  YUM!!!

Yesterday I made myself stay home and cleaned my house from top to bottom!  The floors are sparkling!  Now if only it would stay that way!!!  I moved my kitchen table and it provides so much more room.  I like the look of it facing the other way better because the pretty parsons chairs show more.  But this way is  much more roomy for when we have everyone at the table.

Above was taken from the living room.   This one is from the kitchen. 

Now I need a new rug to go underneath the table.  The one thing I miss about this house, is having a separate dining room.  Oh well, we make do.
Today is gray with a chance of drizzle.  I love it.  Finally, we have cooled off.  I am going to meet some friends for lunch today at Panera.  Then get busy on orders.
Ducey looks just how I feel this week.

 We lost a dear family friend this week.  My heart is with the Schaffer family!!!  Ray, we will miss you so much.  But I know you are up there playing cards and lagging pennies with my Dad!!!
