MyHotComments Once a Marine, Always a Marine. Semper Fi
Music
I like soft music from time to time.. Not into head banging stuff.. A lot of time the noise of music irritates my fibromyalgia and I can't listen to it..
Movies
We *had* hundreds of dvd's and video's.. love em all.. or most of them anyway.. Love sci-fi, adventure, and a good chick flick from time to time..
TV
I like CSI and Law and Order types.. plus Medium, Ghost Whisperer and Moonlight types too..
Books
The Wheel of Time series, How to stuff.. as in how to build a more healthy home and homestead, and about a thousand other topics.. hmm probably should make that two thousand... or so..
Likes
Newborn critters on our homestead, my family, my farm, our goals, playing in the creek, taking the buggy to town, being called the buggy people by our neighbors, succeeding despite myself..
Dislikes
Failing, Fibromyalgia, Our disabilities, LIES, the prophecies that I can see coming to pass.. *FIRE*
Hobbies
Spinning, weaving, painting, horses, learning to bake bread, the internet, website building, buggying, swimming, building.
Vices
It used to be insane sex with friends and lovers.. but I'm getting to old for that anymore.. so I've limited my favorite vice to the pleasuring of my partner.. *eg*
Virtues
a forgiving heart and nearly endless patience.. the nearly is not as long as it used to be.. but that's a virtue to, I think. An endless patient person gets used and taken advantage of to often to be a virtue.
Heroes
Everyone who has already done what we are trying to do.
Hard to believe that today is the last day of July. It was only yesterday when my house burned down wastn't it?? Well, according to the calender anyway it wasn't.. But it sure seems like it was. I've spent the last several days here at my friend's house healing from my last attack of *it's to dam* hot out there*.. lol I hate the heat, almost nothing makes my fibro worse then a week of 90+ degrees.
But I'm going home today. I have so many things to do and I need to do them quickly since I'll be off to the garden show this weekend. I've not worked much on the business.. That's not exactly true though is it? I did make me several new pioneer dresses for the shows and I've been doing other tihngs as well to keep me busy.
I just wish my family was awake so I could go home already.. lol
The Star is one of the great cards of faith, dreams realised
The Star is a card that looks to the future. It does not predict any immediate or powerful change, but it does predict hope and healing. This card suggests clarity of vision, spiritual insight. And, most importantly, that unexpected help will be coming, with water to quench your thirst, with a guiding light to the future. They might say you're a dreamer, but you're not the only one.
Just stopping by to read my mail and take a look see around... Haven't been doing much lately.. Well.. can't say that now can I?? I broke down and decided that I needed to paint my wheel.. Now I'm not saying that I went to far.. but it certainly looks different!! lol And really it was what I needed to help bring me out of my dumps that I've had lately.. nothing like a nicely finished project to make me happy..
I had been working on a new pattern for my llama fiber hats.. but silly me left my book at my friend's house and I couldn't go pick it up until today.. and I'm one of those weird people who have a hard time starting a new project while there is one half finished still on the loom.. So to make me happy and to make good use of my time.. I painted my spinning wheel.. Have been wanting to do it for a while now.. I just never figured I would lose all sense of proportion or reality.. lol It was fun!!
I'm going to add the pictures to the gallery.. Take a look.. whatcha think?? Here's just one of the pictures.. My youngest tells me that I went overboard when I put a flower on the tensioning knob.. LOL
I placed a copy of our business plan at our website. If you'd like to take a look at it.. It's in pdf so most folks can download a copy and look at it.. : )
Take care,
Vesta
Here is the business plan location.. Hope you like our site..
Just wondering.. I've completed a small business plan for our fiber business.. We are really needing a small (as these things go) input of funds so that we can concentrate on getting ready for our September show in Branson. We sent the money off for that today. They invited us so I don't expect any problems getting into the show.. Our only problem is getting ready for the show and not starving to death in the meantime.. lol
So anyway.. anyone want to look at it before I send it off?? We don't need much really.. just enough to get by and replace some of the items we lost in our fire this spring..
