4 weeks and 4 days

its been about 4 weeks and 4 days since I planted my little garden. my little green house box wasn’t all that successful except for one little cucumber plant.

that’s my little cucumber! about ready to be transplanted!

my herb garden has become lopsided! haha just the way the seeds fell

theres my pretty raised garden that my father in law built me. his tomatoes are big enough to have those blue things around them. even starting to have some green tomato buds.

mine arent quite there yet. not tall enough for support and no tomatoes!

a great day

 

 

today cole took me out on a date. been a while since we were able to do that and it was awesome. oh ive missed it. he took me to 17th street bbq bar and grill. and maaaan they have great food!

then we went to wally world and there…I got my ears pierced. I hadnt had them done since…the summer before 6th grade. ive been missing it honestly since then and finally I worked up the courage to get it done again. I picked out a pair of earrings that wouldn’t look blah if I wore them again. and now ill be able to wear the earrings I make!!! so exciting!

it was really a great day. relaxing. goofing off with cole and enjoying the early summer heat (not!!) haha

1 week old

1 week ago I planted my cute little starter kits of my herbs, veggies and flowers

so far the tomato plants are waiting to be transplanted. my father in law is in the process of building a raised garden. that ill probably help with tomorrow and start planting!

my beautiful little herb planter has finally sprouted!!

yes teeny tiny little green leaves have popped thru and that’s about it…

still waiting for these little guys to come thru…but not giving up!! come on little buddies you can do it!!

everyday ive been keeping an eye out on these things. watering them. making sure they get enough sun light. and just hoping that they come up and live!

when I check on them thursday I saw that I had little green babies popping thru the soil and I was so excited I had to get my camera.

thinking I should put on a cheerleader outfit with pom poms and cheer for these little guys to pop thru. come on!! but then again its only week 1. not giving up on these babies

day 1– planted starters

woke up this morning and went right outside excited to start my very first very own garden!

started with my herb starter. which contains:
- sweet basil, oregano, parsley, sage, thyme, and cilantro
cute little herb planter. hope those teeny tiny little seeds battle it out and win so I can have what I want!

I also fixed the already started tomato plants. poor things were falling over.
so in there we have giant delicious and beefsteak tomatoes.


then I started with my little beginners green house.

in there we have green onions, white sweet onions, chives/ garlic, cumin ( which smells so awesome!) ,roma tomatoes ( can you tell we like tomatoes?), lemon balm, homemade pickle cucumbers, spearmint, sweet corn ( attempting!!) , carrots, wildflowers, and sun flowers.

hoping that they all work and I can have something that comes out of this. first garden and I don’t even know if I have a green thumb.
my father –in- law –to be got me some wood and is going to build me a raised garden. hoping that it helps.

building the business

about a month ago a friend of mine came to me saying that she wanted to make jewelry and that I brought out her crafty side.(shes been artsy for as long as ive known her!). and from there we became business partners.

                          

Her name is Shannon Kandlbinder. She is the Saint Charles MO branch of this little 2 person business we have. she specializes in awareness jewelry. and works along with the same style as mine along with her own unique style of jewelry.

so welcome to the newest employee to Color Me Wild Jewelry and Accessories.

what's on my mind tonight?

while looking online for ways to work from home I came across this link that said
“you can make money from YouTube!”

it was a legit link to YouTube's business application. allowing you to sign up your business to earn money. NO WAY!?

I thought about sign up but I think it only lets you use one business per account. not entirely sure though. so I'm kind of torn between beauti control and doing tutorials on making jewelry and hair accessories. Or maybe recipes. WHO KNOWS!!! sooo many possibilities. I have sooo many ideas.

so that was the good part of the night in searching…

the bad part but one that wont put me down…

this lady Penelope is a freaking buzz kill on peoples dreams.

I don’t personally know her but maan she's flipping cruel.

I know its good for a little harsh truth once in a while but geez she's like stomping on people.

there are a few types of people in this world.
people who say they want to help you achieve your goals and dreams and actually do

people who say they want to help but don’t…

and then people like Penelope who freaking shoot everything down the toilet before you even try!

I understand that there are scams and scammers around everywhere. and that if one has taken a risk its his or her choice and they can learn from it.

well I have news for this chick, shooting people down before they try is just plain rude. how would you feel if someone told you you cant do a darn thing in life cause you just suck!

I love telling people to shoot for their dreams and if you try and fall get back up and try and try again. that’s all you gotta do.

I understand that sure not everyone can make money from blogging or from videos or whatever but ya know it builds character and friendships and a bunch of skills.

but there are those lucky few who can! so please chick don’t shoot them down before they try….

lost and found : kittens

the other night when we let angel out she shot off the deck and right passed the cutest little thing ever. kittens. one ran across the deck and behind the work bench. I yelled for cole that there was a kitten outside. and we brought angel inside and cole went out to try to catch the poor little guy.

I handed him a hotdog thinking maybe we could draw it out that way. it worked! step by step the kitten came out of hiding and once he came out another came up on the deck.

sooo cute!

we got them both inside after about an hour of wrestling them through the carpet and boxes

the one in the bowl was pretty shy while the one looking was pretty friendly

stepping out of the cage in the morning to play

back in they go

exploring on our way out the door. we ended up taking them to coles grandmas house for a bit to show her. and the kids all loved them.

from grandmas we took them to a humane society. hope they found a good family. both lovely little girls. adorable.

September : month of business

so September I went away to saint Louis for a week or so. went to my grandmas 80th birthday! it was also a trip to see my baby girl ilsa one last time.

she wasn’t doing to well for the last few months and it was time she went to play with my barney. the last day before the vet you could tell that she knew where she was going and that she was happy about it. tried sitting up and smiling. she was a happy girl her last day and it made me feel blessed I could be there one last day

it was a good birthday for grandma. a surprise party with a few friends and family at the church. had a potluck, it was sports themed, just what she likes. she looked so happy. I think she really did have a great time. Cole came up and met some new family members and seemed to enjoy himself.

when we got home we were moved into the room. had to put stuff away and rearrange the room but we were moved in. it was wonderful.

finally here it is december and happy christmas from coles dad we have carpet!!

got furniture from my cousin paul (RIP) and a couch for my birthday from my grandma :)

my little craft desk in the corner and my shelves still in the hall from when we moved stuff for the carpet. gotta find a new spot for it

its perfect. soft and the room stays warm now!

fall Massac oct 15-17 2011

this year Massac I camped away from my family and with the natives. it was a lot of fun and I became closer friends with some of them. Cole spent the week before preparing a way to make us a shelter. we had planned on having a real nice big warm wigwam but our plans to cut bamboo fell through so we had to come up with something last minute.

this would be a riiight after I wake up picture :] me and Cole sitting under our lean-to
