Note Busted knee sure put a damper on my planting plans this year *sigh*</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So I am going to see what I can come up with this week, to brighten up</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
those flower beds some</div>
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
But I am Happy to say the Knee is Healing, just a Huge UGLY scab</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That breaks open when I move around</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But I could not stand it any longer, so I have been cleaning out my</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
flower beds, and moving around more! Still so much cleaning to get done</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Pretty sad looking beds this year, I lost my large bushes to the flood last year</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But they are coming back out</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And Yes I am Keeping my knee Clean </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
confession time, I would almost be thrilled to go back to my studio</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
looking like this right now!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But by the time I emptied boxes and storage bins, it was crowded in there</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
What do you do when you are stuck in a chair for longer periods of</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
time then you prefer to be...........browse for ideas for said studio</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
since my leg got infected they changed my antibiotic</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
UGH.......now I can not get outside on this gorgeous sunny day</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
because they told me these meds would make me blister!! BLAH lol</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And I have to take them for another 8 days *Sigh*</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So with everything I have boxed up, I have been checking out</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
studio's on Pinterest (source for photo above)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now in a dream world I would have a High ceiling</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
* but in reality I know that is impossible *</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And look at that wall of windows, simply beautiful</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
See too much time on your hands and Pinterest</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
seems to make you want to do things that you will NOT be able to do</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have two small windows, one will house my air conditioner</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I do have a door with window panes in it</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am going to uses mirrors to attempt to reflect what little</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
natural light I have in my building</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
See what I mean, this was before I boxed everything ALL of it,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
up and sold some items I did not use any longer, in a yard sale</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(and by the way this is just one end of the building, yes there is more) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It is dark in there, and all furniture items I have are dark</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So plans are to paint everything white ! well not everything</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I think I want to do some pops of cheerful colors in it</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My floor is painted white </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am thinking of splattering Paint on it :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
That way when I spill some it will not matter</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Heck I may even splatter my windows, if I get brave enough to</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But as small as they are that may not be a good idea for light to come in</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzlHwccf2b7DkGd1dcSLgqoaqxZj1wDgcL_uUscZ_orKqH-2mAnI8IPhKs0rBayaCBRLLBqdudG-AxBCY992mM7Nmg6cM_JXXjml5Gfz0BFn2OWw5tJfnRkJk9PJkoizitx4iPqL6e9is/s1600/539513.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzlHwccf2b7DkGd1dcSLgqoaqxZj1wDgcL_uUscZ_orKqH-2mAnI8IPhKs0rBayaCBRLLBqdudG-AxBCY992mM7Nmg6cM_JXXjml5Gfz0BFn2OWw5tJfnRkJk9PJkoizitx4iPqL6e9is/s640/539513.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My dream is to purchase a few items for storage</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
( <a href="http://www.target.com/p/library-style-storage-oak-40/-/A-539513#prodSlot=medium_1_12&term=library+card+file">Library card storage</a> )</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But I want to paint it if I make this purchase</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and on Pinterest you will find several of these </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
drawer containers, with ideas to paint, or cover with papers</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I want to do one with map pieces of the lake we live at</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Just have to share my visit to the Doctor's office yesterday</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The Nurse practitioner was who I got to see </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She walks into my room with a Cute little girl following her</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Asks me if it is ok, the child was her daughter</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This little girl squats down and looks at my knee and says</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"Oh that is a bad one"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Her mommy gathers everything to scrub my wound</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and the Little girl puts on surgical gloves and grabs her </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
a square of gauze, and says</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"I will help you mommy"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
At this point I was not nervous at all, instead I was so calm</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And enjoying the child being there</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Her mom washes my wound and there is wound cleanser </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
going down my leg, the little girl paps it dry, ever so gently</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I ask her how old she was and she replied</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"I am three"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
after cleaning the wound, the nurse was putting iodine on it, the little girl </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
informs me, that is great stuff, I always get that on my boo boo's :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
her mom whispered ask her what she is going to be</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so I did and naturally she tells me "OH I am going to be a Doctor"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When her mom informed me they were giving me a shot of</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
antibiotic, and I mean the one that hurts and burns :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The little girl says I will help I will hold your hand</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(yes I hate needles LOL)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But that shot, well the entire office visit went so smoothly for me</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I walked in stressed and worried about my knee</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but instead had a very pleasant visit</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Every doctor's office should be able to take a child to work with them</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
because it was just so SWEET and very soothing for her to be there</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In fact I asked her if she could be there when they remove my stitches LOL</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A child is full of compassion and care</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Many adults could learn so much simply by watching children</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Heck many doctor's today could learn from them</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
seems so many do not have a compassionate side to them </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hope you have a wonderful day today</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the knee feels much better, the swelling is almost all gone now</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But Tuesday can not get here soon enough, I am ready for this </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to be OVER with. I am tied of hobbling around<br />
I will hobble and have to be careful for a couple more weeks<br />
but that is so much better then the fear of messing up my knee</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I was taking a much needed vacation from everything online</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Yes even creating and selling </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
No such luck at a vacation on a warm tropical beach somewhere :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Seriously </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My intentions were to go back to work on the 15th of May</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
What a Flop that turned out to be</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
speaking of flop, I twisted a flip flop and </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I took a fall in my yard and my Knee and the corner of </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
a Paver brick kissed each other</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Let's just say the brick Won the battle</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Violent Stone it was LOL</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Stitches and Pain later............and today a trip to the DR</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
because it is infected :( I should share a HUGE frown here</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Because in all honesty when I woke this morning to dark red</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
blotches going down my leg and major swelling I Freaked out!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Seriously - the little toe was black from swelling UGH</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So I am delayed at getting back to work</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
you see I boxed everything up in my studio building</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Everything I tell you !! And cleared out many things I did not use</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
any longer. I was going to redo it, because it was far to cluttered</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and uncomfortable. Now those plans are on the back burner</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
until said knee improves and I can move around better</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So I will make an effort to at least post on my blog more often</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
or while I am laid up</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Note: I shared Sweet pictures of Miss Lilly </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Because she just cheers me up </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hope you are all still following me, I will be back soon</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

all due to storms a week ago this past weekend</div>

with wonderful deal. Purchase The Mattify Skin Finishing powder </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and get a Free Powder brush a $39.00 value free</div>

Unlike a powder foundation, it’s designed to be worn over your foundation, tinted moisturizer, concealer, or bare skin. In one universal shade that suits all skin tones, our Finishing Powder gives skin a naturally smooth and even finish, leaving behind no white residue</span></div>

Finding more photos of our flowers, I think I will go with a mix</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
of different colors this year of my petunia's and combine sweet potato plants in with them. I have decks and fencing to stain this year, think I need to play</div>

Thank you everyone who commented on my last post</div>

I am enjoying dreaming of plans of what I am going to do with my small </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
backyard area. What I am hoping to do, I have a couple of trees back there, my studio building sets back there, chicken pen etc. I plan to put mostly plants around the trees, a walkway, very little grass and a sitting area with our fire pit</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have always wanted to improve that area to enjoy it</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
About my little building, since we could not keep it heated well enough </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
for winter I will soon be out there to work, as soon as as the cold spells </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
are over with, I will share photos with you all, in the mean time</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I gather supplies out of there and bring them inside to still create in my tiny kitchen. But it is working right now</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This summer when we replace the window air conditioner we are getting one that has heat in it as well. So once I start working it will service me year around.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have a pile of boxes and envelopes growing today to ship out in the morning, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
it sure feels awesome being back to work again, I am so blessed</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Blessings to you all</div>

I have plans to add several Hostas to my backyard this year</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We have contained our chickens in a pen </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
last year they roamed free in my backyard and </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well I lost my grass and everything back there, so this year I hope to add some shade loving flowers to that area</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What would you suggest for shade?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And we will be planting some herbs for our chickens to feast on around their pen</div>

I have tons of these plants growing in different places they Multiply </div>

I keep having to move them around</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My dad had this plant, my sister gave me some and I have so many</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have to weed them out now. They bloom in late summer, and stay green from early spring until winter begins. It is actually referred to as a cemetery plant</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They do not require much attention and grow and grow</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love the delicate flowers on them when they bloom even though I know</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
it means summer will soon be over with!</div>

but I planted them too late to get much enjoyment out of the flowers</div>

I am looking for some great ideas for Perennials this year</div>

Note to Self : Stop looking at all the new fangled </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(that may be my new word for the day)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
math junk on Facebook</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So I had like 8 bunches of 3 carrots to get made up</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now we all know 8 x 3 is 24.........well I missed the mark failed the grade</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
What was I thinking :) I only made up four and had to throw four more bunches</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
together, thus the carrots in the oven drying, bring on the heat!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Hope you all had a Wonderful Christmas</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
it had been storming here for a couple of days </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and this morning as soon as day broke</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
this is what I walked outside to</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It is still blowing a light snow as I am typing but it is not sticking</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As far as I am concerned, this is as much Winter as I want to see</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
it can go away now, and I would be thrilled to go back to 70 degree days :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I almost have my building completely done! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and yes I have already shifted things around a dozen times</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to attempt to find more room to hold all of my <strike>stuff</strike> Junk as my </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
hubby would refer to it :) he said maybe it is time to get rid of </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
a little? Well in the past eight years I have thrown out and</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
donated so much, I had just hoped to hold onto what I have left</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
( but since I am already stuffed into my little building ~sigh~ )</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I may have to do some purging and donate a little more!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Yes that is where I have been hiding at</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thank you to those that have won my last two elves and to </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

That's right call me scrooge Bah Humbug :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
LOL just kidding, but I am ready to move onto spring time</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Who am I kidding winter has not even shown up yet?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-size: x-small;">In all honesty, I will not be broken hearted if it just forgets to visit us :)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have one more load of stuff to move out of the house</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I will share pictures later</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
ironically enough I have a decorated tree out in that</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
little *someday* (aren't you tired of me saying that)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
STUDIO </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-size: x-small;">and yes it will stay up year around? I may be a scrooge but </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-size: x-small;">it helps me to stay in the mood, to be creative</span></div>

I will say after almost 7 years in this tiny home</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
it feels good to finally have a Kitchen that is not piled</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
high with all of my stuff</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But I will also say it sure has put a damper on me </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
getting a jump on spring time creations ~Sigh~</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
being so upside down with moving everything around</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I will be lost for awhile until I remember where I put everything at!</div>
