A Sneak Peek

I am in the process of moving in the house and getting everything situated. It is a difficult process trying to move and work full time. Needless to say I never realized that I had so much stuff! Sadly, I still have boxes of things that haven't been unpacked. I also have more things to move.............Lordy will I ever get done? I am very pleased at how the place is shaping up........it's everything I hoped for and more. May you all have a blessed evening.

Moving...................

Wow, I didn't realize how long it had been since my last post! I was smack in the middle of moving into the new home when I came down with a nasty stomach virus. Needless to say it stopped me in my tracks. I missed work yesterday and was only able to stay a half of a day today. I will have some updated pics of the house very soon.................everything is coming together and I just like the finishing touches. Such as the front porch, trim, cabinets and so on. Hope you all have a blessed day.

A Bountiful Harvest

Giving Thanks to God Almighty for a Bountiful Harvest.

A Bee's Life

Here are some updated pics of the Bees and the work they have done!

Filling up their feeder with syrup
Preparing the smoker

I was the smoker/ photographer .......lol

The bees already have comb on 4 frames!

These guys are hard workers!

In the right hand corner you can see some honey they have capped!

Well folks, it's been another busy hectic work week. I am putting the finishing touches on a large wholesale order and hope to begin making some new creations. As for this weekend their is lots to do......I plan on doing some major cleaning and packing up some stuff not used very often in plastic totes. Wow I never realized how many kitchen gadgets and appliances I have! For those of you whom asked about the walls in my new house this is what we did. We used pine 3/4" thick sheeting boards. We nailed them up and stained it Early American. We did the same thing on the ceiling. This wood is very inexpensive and you don't even have to sand it. The best thing of all is we have the cistern complete and we got lots of rain yesterday from a storm. So we now have running water in the house!

Hope you all enjoyed the pics of the bees and hope you have a wonderful weekend.

Blessings,

Jill

Where has the time gone?

Is it just me or is this year flying by? I have had so much going on this week I haven't had time to sit down. I miss checking up on all your alls wonderful blogs. It felt so good to be out in the workshop today with the sun shining in and working away on orders. Especially after being in a office all week. Working an office job has really made me miss being at home and creating and working on my terms and my time. But with today's economy lots of folks are working two jobs to make ends meet.
The house is coming along wonderfully, we are currently still working on the cistern. I am hoping for a August or September move. Keep your fingers crossed for me :) I hope you all have a wonderful weekend.............it's back to sewing for me!
Blessings,
Jill
