Going on Vacation !!!!
Tomorrow morning we head for Italy. Got suitcases all packed except for last minute stuff like pills and such. Shut down my ETSY site already 'casue I don't have time to package orders today.
Got the remaining plants into the garden on Tuesday - and managed to scrape my replaced knee in a fall. No big deal (I don't think) just a big bandage covering the abrasion. I hope it rains enough to help the new plants survive while we're gone - some are out of reach of the automatic 'irrigation system'.
Got clocks heavy sanded last weekend but I've still got lots of fine sanding to do before I can buff anything. In addition to clocks, there are 2 switchplates, some zipper pulls, pillboxes and letter openers to be sanded. And bookmarks that have to have tassels put on. I've ordered some waxed cord to see how that works on the bookmarks. but I'm also trying to make some scarves with polymer clay big buttons to sell on my web site. I must be losing my mind!
And I've still got to catch up on paying bills before we leave. And pack up the cameras and binoculars - and find an appropriate bird field guide. I'm starting to feel overwhelmed. Why am I sitting here writing a blog??
