Ravelry is a website where you post everything you knit or crochet. There are tons of groups and patterns for things. I'm in a Hogwarts group and I've been sorted into Hufflepuff. We have our "classes" like potions, transfiguration, charms, etc, and we turn in projects for points. It is sooooo fun. Hufflepuff just won the last quidditch match, too!

Well, I'm tired. Almost 10:30 and I've worked a bunch today. But last night I went to a Christmas party with Clint and Aimee. It was hosted by an alumni and ex football player of Calvary Baptist Private School. (State Champions) All the coaches and family were there. The host is a cardiac surgeon so you know what the multi million dollar house looked like. A totally different world folks. They even had a , by God, basketball court in the semi basement. A smaller version. Only about 60x100 or so feet. I kid you not. The son was enthralled with basketball so they built it. All of the people are nice to say hello to but don't try to sit down and have a conversation with them. They don't pay much attention to the little folk. Clint has been around them for years and loves each and every one of them. And they love him. Aimee and me, not so much. But we were smart and took two cars because Aimee had to work today and that gave us a good excuse to leave after about 1.5 hrs. Before they started the White Elephant Gift game. Thank Gawd!!!!!

I really kind of enjoyed myself. I can mingle and Aimee was really struggling to stay pleasant.

Pam this is a mug my daughter glazed. Its the first time she has done anything quite like this. I love it! Its a huge mug, so I guess that is why she did the 4panels.
This is the picture of Slinky she painted from for the doggie panel.

I think it turned out pretty cool.

She Did great painting in glaze is hard She did a great Job!!! The dog is really good!! So is the cup for a first piece of pottery. The handle is hard to get right.It takes a lot of practice to get right for her first time I'm impressed!:thumbsup

Well she did a couple of animals. Like an owl piggy bank or something. But that wasn't really painting any kind of freehand design.

If she really enjoys it, I would nuture it she has a gift to do that in glaze is hard. Glaze goes on a different color then it turns after firing. You have to do 2 to 4 coats of glaze depending on the glaze and the clay. Freehand that's great I bet she would excell in other mediums too. Has She tried oil or water color? Either way Great mug!!!
 
Good morning La-yers! Starting to get excited here - hoping to get to leave at noon tomorrow & we get both Thurs AND Fri off AND also for New Years' next week - Woot! Woot!!

Two 4-day weekends in a row! I'll take that!

No "chicks gone wild" party last night. The house was nice & warm & they are feathering out nicely so I turned the heat lamp off & put them in total darkness - checked a couple of times & they were fine - so we all went to bed & had a good night's sleep. This morning I turned the overhead light on & the little stinkers started trying to jump to the top of the box to me -- and they could almost make it! So I raised the flaps of the box & taped those in place to make it a foot higher. I guess I'll move them upstairs to the big brooder in the next day or two.

Slow at work so am perusing seed catalogs and dreaming of next year's garden!
 
This has to be the funniest thing ever.  :gig Looking at you "What?"    Bahahaha

[COLOR=333333]I've hit the ground running this morning at 6am.  Started packing up all the chicken stuff that I've been storing in my room until I can get the storeroom organized enough to  put everything on the shelves.  Then I organized all the boxes of presents that I need to wrap today.  My room, after today, will go from a hoarding house to a regular room.  My daughter was getting a little concerned when I didn't have much walk space.  I have a lot of presents.  :lau    The storeroom is workable.  I can shift a few things around to get to the shelves.  And  next I'll work on getting the brooding area set up for my babies.  They are on day 6 I think.  (Eggs).    I'm in the process of shifting all the 18 gallon totes that I store feed in out to the area by the coop.  That will free up an immense space in the storeroom.  And be a lot easier for me to get to when I make my fermented feed.  [/COLOR]
[COLOR=333333]Folks, this is my year.  It's all coming together.  I've got the birds for my good egg selling on Ebay and BYC.  I'm ordering 15 CX's  and 15 Golden Comets from Schletch hatchery in late Jan for meat and a lot of eggs that I'm going to start selling.  I'm in an area that will pay good for non GMO and no corn or soy eggs.    The meat will be for my freezer, when I can get one.  My plans this year are ambitious.  I am going to hire a couple of high school boys to unload a bunch of straw bales and bags of soil for my garden.   They can place it for me.  Laying  bags of soil lengthways and having two rows together will make a 3 x 9 bed.  cut the top out of the bag and punch holes in the bottom and add fertilizer and start planting.   I want 2 or 3 beds.  The same with the strawbales.  Two side by side x3 bales long will be be a 30" x 9' bed and I want 2 of them.    By next year they will be ready to take the  strings off and I'll have my handyman build me a 24" high bed.  Stir the dirt/soil mixture down and add a lot of compost and I'll have me some of the most beautiful beds around.   The soil grow bags can be turned out and a shorter bed built around them with a lot of compost added to them.   [/COLOR]
[COLOR=333333]We have 4 new subdivisions  being built within 5 minutes of me.  I'd like to advertise during the summer to get customers for my eggs and cardboard beer flats filled with garden produce and a loaf of my artisan bread.  Maybe $15 for eggs, bread and produce.  What do you think?  Too ambitious?  [/COLOR]


I'm not sure what the going price is for veggies here, but I was paying $5-6 for eggs, $35 a week for organic veggies (huge box though) and fresh bread was at least $5 a loaf. Maybe start out at your price and see how it goes but I think it might be low.
