Oddly enough, since I've come home I've had a lovely bout of insomnia as we've all adjusted to life at home. I'm averaging about one good night's sleep in five and it's killing me. It's not even the productive, energetic type of insomnia; it is the bone weary, don't want to move but can't sleep type.
On the flip side, sitting at the computer isn't a chore right now so I've been doing more research on the home based business my friend and I are getting into! Small blessings from what could be tedious. :) We are working on website ideas, color schemes, layout, etc. That is why I haven't mentioned more of it here. We need to be a little more set up before I do so. Maybe there'll be some teaser photos soon since I need to start back into the production swing of things. :)
Sewing has been a wee bit slow for me lately. One of my cousins is coming into town so she'll most likely be staying in the sewing room. I can't wait to see Brooke though, we have a blast every time she's here. I'm actually working on some tiered broomstick skirts. My cousin, K, knows how to make them and showed me her way of doing them. In return, I taught her how to make the Tznius style wrap skirt. I am now the owner of a lovely black and white tiered broomstick skirt, with a green one on the way for me and Little Miss, and K is the owner of a beautiful navy satin wrap skirt!
We finally have our garden in and plants are coming up. I think I'm most excited for my purple potatoes! When I was younger, I always wanted to grow them and my mom never wanted to so since I get to plot out the garden now....We have purple potatoes!!! I can't wait to see them! We have strawberries, corn, green beans, pumpkins, squash, watermelon, cantaloupe, lettuce, carrots, spinach, peppers, chilis, and a few herbs growing. The funniest thing is we have some volunteer something viney growing right now. I guess when we put the compost stuff in the garden, some of the seeds were viable.
Lately I've been on a journey to learn more about herbs, essential oils, and how to use them. Along with that, I've been learning more about different nutritional aspects and how they effect your health. This was prompted by some health issues Little Miss has, and being told she is within the realm of 'normal' but the extreme far end of the spectrum. We are looking at diet, how what we eat affects us, how our food is processed, and what the different processing methods does to the food and us. It is an interesting journey, and we are slowly modifying things, which I'm happy to say is helping out immensely. We are working on one dietary thing at a time, and as we do that, her health is improving.
Well, time for an at home date with Hubby! Ciao for now!
