Good Morning.
Happy New Year to Everyone. Did you make a New Year's Resolution.
I did and one was to be more active with my Postings and updates to Social Media. So today is the start and I wonder just how long this will last. I also need to do inventory of both Face Book and the Web site as well as Pinterest to bring them all into line with my Catalogue but first need to update said Catalogue. So busy times in the off festival season.
Have been fluffing around the edges for the last few weeks as needed to rest after some gruelling multiple day shows and the ghastly heat early December that knocked me around and I was exhausted. Now that all the Holidays are over it is time to get things moving as have lots of Soap to make to replenish what was sold. Also have a new Soap Fragrance ready to go just as soon as I get more Label paper as you wouldn't believe this I ran out. Must have been the heat fried my brain as usually I have stacks sitting there whenever I need it.
Also have a new product being tried and a review to come from my testers before they can be released. I am buying these in as I don't have time to make them but you can rest assured they are handmade and are not quite local to me but within an hours drive. Can't wait to here what the reviews say as my house smells divine from the few I have here waiting to here back from the testers. Everything else is chugging along nicely. I do a shift in the CO-OP Shop every Wednesday Morning 9-1pm Darling Downs Handmade Shop in the Wilsonton Shopping Centre so if you want to discuss products before buying then pop in and see me then. The rest of my week is usually taken up with work in the Soap Room or Labelling in the Family Room in between keeping the House and Yard going.
Talking about my yard we finally had some rain in early December then a storm on Christmas Eve so the grass has grown and I have actually mowed twice. There are still a lot of bare patches and an horrific amount of the green is weed but it all got mowed and the leaves all munched into the mulch pile. I am outside around 5 am most mornings and do a couple hours work of raking or trimming, mulching or weeding as the garden gets quite neglected during the festival seasons so I like to get it revived just as soon as I can after the shows have finished. This year I have grown lettuce and silver beet in tubs in the green house as normally they get grubs and expire before I can get a decent picking. They have done really well and I have been using them for a few weeks. Tried a new tomato and it is producing well but the bushes have developed the wilt so will need cutting off down low and letting come again. Waiting on the fruit still there to ripen before cutting them.
I have worked out a better way to place the shade cloth over all the tubs so the whole vege patch is under shade now and is doing so much better. I was almost out of tank water when we got the rain so now hopefully have enough to see me through a few more months when we hopefully will get some more from the wet season.
Mac received heaps of new balls for Christmas and has not stopped chasing them since. He has one that I put his kibble in and he pats it with his paw to get it rolling until a piece of kibble comes out but 9 times out of 10 he leaves the piece on the floor and continues patting the ball to make it roll...go figure. Mac has been on holidays from Doggy Playgroup but starts back again tomorrow. He loves going there and received a bandanna from Lisa for Christmas. Had to have a big doggies sized one as the little ones would not go round his neck with all that fur. We celebrated his Gotcha Day with a new toy a fat bull that squeaks of course and as his main Christmas present has not arrived from China he will get that for his Actual birthday and another squeaky toy, this time a fat donkey later this month.
Well that is enough of my rambling so please take care and remember to be kind to each other.
Blessings
