I'm still here, no I haven't fallen off the face of the earth! <br />
<br />
I wanted to wish you all a happy day and evening. I hope you get to spend it with people you love. I've been just working in my little shop, kinda same as usual here. It is a most gorgeous day today and I would love to be playing in the dirt outside getting ready for spring. I am taking Sat. and Mon. (President's Day) off and will attend a composting seminar at the <span style="color: #38761d;"><a href="http://www.arboretum.org/" target="_blank">LA County Arboretum</a></span> this weekend.<br />
<br />
I made a succulent heart wreath last weekend at the<span style="color: #38761d;"> <a href="http://www.cactuscenter.com/" target="_blank">California Cactus and Succulent Center</a>.</span> I'm happy with how it turned out. Now I pray all those little cuttings LIVE! It was time consuming but fun to do with a bunch of people who enjoy plants like I do. Measures about 14" x 12".<br />

Today I got a vase of lilies and irises from a secret admirer that was delivered by Fedex. This is how they arrived, unopened buds. Now, who could it be? I really don't know who it could be so it must really be a secret. I also got a little chocolate, a card and an invite to dinner.<br />

I've only been making these ruffle scarves lately for presents and oh, yeah I made a matching scarf and hat for a friend as a Xmas gift but was in a rush and didn't take a photo of it. The yarn is Red Heart Sashay. They are so easy to make, mindless really. I can still crochet at the end of the day even though I might be tired!<br />
<br />
Look there are still strawberries trying to grow right now!<br />

Take care and until next time....thanks for stopping by!annielizabethhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04059827917132358583noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3896558008071610117.post-42533347733751472972012-09-14T17:02:00.002-07:002012-09-14T17:02:53.690-07:00What I'm Up To!<h2>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Hello! </span></h2>
My computer is finally fixed, yay. We replaced the motherboard and I've
only been up and running with it for a couple days. Yes, I wasn't
computer-less, but like I've said before, the front computer is for
shipping and day to day operations for the shop and I didn't like going
very many places on the web in case I got a virus or other problem. Broken computer = No
shipping = No $, simple as that.<br />
<br />
It's time to upgrade/change my blog background but I started with making the font larger so it would be easier to read.<br />
<br />
I finally got out my hook and started a project! It's a simple scarf for a friend, late birthday gift or Christmas gift. It takes me so long to complete projects that I thought I'd better start now. I got 2 skeins of LB Jiffy in a perfect color to match denim. I'm using a J hook and the pattern is called "Crumpled Stitch", alternating a sc and then dc, sc then dc... and the next row you sc into the previous row's dc and then a dc in the previous row's sc. 22 stitches wide. It's a KISS project for me! KEEP IT SIMPLE STUPID. That is what I need right now to get back into crocheting.<br />

Last of the Sherman Garden PicsHi! I see my last post was, well....over a month ago! Shame on me. So much has happened since I posted last. No time to blog lately :(. Here are the remaining Sherman Garden pics from waaaaay back in May! <br />
<br />
My back computer is still giving me problems. It's a software issue. So much for blaming it on the cricket leg, hee, hee. Just not gonna shut the darn thing off for now. It's when the computer is loading on start up that it decides it can't find some files and then freezes up. I've run some utility programs and it hasn't handled the problem so it's just gonna have to stay turned on as a workaround until the real cause is found.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile...I'm busy with running my shop and some other things I will post about soon.<br />
<br />
The last pics are of shade plants. Fuchsias, Ferns and Begonias to name a few. <br />

<div style="color: #674ea7;">

<b><span style="font-size: large;">My computer has been up and running for about a week and guess what? My son found a cricket's leg that was on the motherboard and when that was removed and all the components (hardware) were checked and tested and found to be working fine it must have been that darn leg. We figure the cricket could have been electrocuted when he was crawling around inside. Originally when it was acting so weird, I opened up the case and used canned air to clean out the dust. It wasn't too dusty since I had just done that back in January and while doing that I found a dead cricket at the bottom of the case. Maybe that is where they got the term "computer bug", hee hee. </span></b></div>

Hi! My computer, the one at the shop that I use for all things non-shipping, which includes my blogging and blog visiting has had
issues for a few weeks. It suddenly just freezes up and won't go
anywhere. Then it just decided to not bring up the screen at all and we
thought it was the video card but that's not the problem. More diagnostics are
being done by my sweet son who took it home to find a cure. Meanwhile I did
back-up, thank goodness, most all my files including pictures but I've
been without a computer in the back and so haven't posted for awhile. I
decided to bring in my laptop so I could go online without using the
front shipping computer. I just need to get accustomed to using it
along with my back up external drive that has the pics on it and then
I'll finish posting the Sherman garden pics. Such creatures of habit we are! It's taking some getting used to since I don't have my regular picture program. <br />
<br />
I went to Best Buy last night since I need to get a different cell phone and plan. They advertise being impartial since they can sell you all the plans from all the carriers. I also wanted to see and hold the phones for real since I've only been doing internet research. What a pain. I've been putting it off since I have 2 households going right now and I'm trying to keep expenses down. I have an ancient cell phone and ancient plan that Verizon doesn't even offer anymore. I went over my minutes last month and wow, it got expensive. I don't have a landline at my new place and no internet. So I wanna getta phone and plan that can connect me to the internet so I can hook it up to my laptop and TV. Then I can be at home and browse; I can leave work on time and do my own stuff online at home instead of hanging out at my shop since it feels like I spend a gazillion hours there as it is.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">What is it about yarn bombing that I like so much? I'd say it's about taking the ordinary everyday objects and making them special by wrapping them up in yarn! It's just downright fun, creative and sometimes, just what one needs- to make something silly or to laugh at the silly yarn bombed stuff. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">International Yarn Bombing day is coming up quickly, it's June 9th. I'd like to yarn bomb something again this year. This is what I did last year. But a flag on a car is normal. <a href="http://annielizabeth.blogspot.com/2011/06/international-yarn-bombing-day.html" style="color: #6aa84f;" target="_blank"> Click to see last years post</a> I'll have to figure out what to do. It would be fun to do a group project if only I had the time to join in or start one. Work, work, work :( what is a gal to do? </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I know, go have a piece of chocolate. Yum...I'll burn it off at rehearsal tonite. My dance show is this coming Sunday and we have rehearsals every night this week. Yeah! I get to exercise. Good news, I've been on a reducing diet and my pants are noticeably looser today. I promise I'll only have one pc of chocolate candy and not blow my diet! </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">It was nice having 3 days off. I got out my sewing machine for the first time since the move and I had the Indy 500 on while I mended some clothes. I love getting backlogged stuff like that done. I needed to shorten the black skirt (costume) and had to do it from the waist otherwise the ruffle wouldn't be the same length as the others. It's always a good thing to know how to sew when you are short like me; I need to hem almost everything. The race was amazing. I esp. liked the camera that is mounted in the car so you can see what the driver is seeing. Technology at it's best! </span></div>

I thought I'd take a break from the Sherman Garden pictures to show you what's growin' in my yard.<br />
I planted some strawberries in one of those hanging planters with the holes on the sides. I suppose the squirrels and birds might get 'em before me but at least the snails and slugs won't. Here's the first flower taken a few weeks ago!<br />

I also have a small apple tree that is planted near my backyard. When I moved in last Sept. there were apples on the tree and nobody on the property came to get them so before they rotted off the tree, I picked them and made an apple pie! This pic is from last week, it was budding out and now it's in full bloom and the flower buds are such a pretty pale pink.<br />

Got any big plans for the holiday weekend? I'm taking the three days, gonna relax a bit and think of those people that risked their lives and died so we could have the freedoms we have here in the USA. Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful time whatever you plan to do.<br />

The gardens are all paved walkways, just large enough to be able to see everything without walking forever, places to get refreshed and a wonderful gift shop with everything "garden-ie". Perfect for my mom who is 80 years young and loves plants. There are a bunch of photos I took so hopefully it won't take too long to load for you to see them all! <br />
<br />
I've decided to do a 3-part post since there are so many pictures! I want to share them all with you :)<br />

I've been visiting the library because there is nothing like moving and realizing that you could start your own library with the amount of books ya own!<br />
<br />
I recently borrowed a few books and this one below is an amazing collection of art quilts. If you ever get the chance to take a look thru it, you should; the ISBN # is 13: 978-1-60059-058-0 the publisher is Lark Books. Now with all the fabulous colorful quilts contained in this book why did they choose one that lacks color and is the back of a guy's head and he's sitting on a park bench??? Now I'm sure that quilt is lovely when you see it in person up close but don't the publishers know that people buy books based on their covers? There are such beautiful colorful quilts in this book, really, go to your library and ask for it. Early one morning before work, I sat sipping my coffee with the front door open so I could hear the soft spring rain falling and became immersed in these quilt pictures.<br />

These are just random pages from the book.<br />
<br />
<br />
I also got this book on clutter. We all have it and I want to reduce mine. It's a good book to start with. She has some good pointers on how to do it. Not a thick book and it even has large type so I read it pretty fast. Now I actually have to put the principles to work in my life. That's the hard part, hee, hee.<br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Our trip to the gardens was so nice. Here we are and I don't know what was up with the camera that it didn't flash so it's not a very good pic. I took photos of the Orchids because they were so pretty. We had a volunteer guide that walked around with us and that was nice. We learned more about the history of the place.</span> <br />

They had a Zen garden in the Oriental area and this large space with sand and gravel was all groomed perfect with a rake. It would have been peaceful but there were too many people. It would be better to visit this on a weekday.</div>

I couldn't resist since it is only about 15 min from where I live now, so I became a member. Now I can go anytime I want and I'll have more pics for you in the near future.</div>

Well, I moved out of my big house in Los Angeles and moved into a little Doll House close to my shop. No, the house hasn't sold, it's not even listed yet. Lotsa changes in my life these past (almost) 9 months. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">You see, I searched for a place in June and July since the house was supposed to be on the market in June of last year and we were planning to move soon anyhow. Then I find the house isn't gonna go on the market yet and to make a long story short, there has been so much disagreement (for some time) in our relationship in general not just about the renovation. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I got tired of the drama so on my birthday last year (August) I gave myself the perfect gift, one of peace and a serene environment! I signed the rental agreement and then moved in slowly and slept there by mid September. Moving is so darn disruptive to the flow of one's life and I'm still not totally settled in. At least I can get organized now which is what I'm slowly doing but of course this place is soooo small that I can only fit what is really necessary; the rest is stored in the 1 car garage adjacent to the house. It's been: unpack and repack boxes to store away for the time being.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Yes, I'm living alone for the first time in my entire life and it's weird! I had to move out so I could have a calm organized space so I can get up everyday and go run my little business. I can't have a pet where I am now but I will someday! Having a pet would ease the total "ALONE-NESS" but I can understand the landlord's rules. There is no enclosed yard and the property has 5 homes on it. It is way back off the street on a private drive and is so quiet and peaceful.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I'll leave you with a pic of my new place that I took before I moved in. Now it has flowers in the front so I'll post an updated pic soon.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">One more thing, when you live alone you find what you eat and what you don't (and it goes bad). I eat my share of butter (hee, hee).</span><br />

I hope it works better, as I always had trouble with putting pictures on my blog. I came here to do a test post today.<br />
<br />
We had rain much of yesterday and we even had snow in the local mountains, too. We're supposed to have 80 degree days next week so I bet the ski slopes are crazy busy this weekend. Lovely day today, sunny, cool and fresh with a light breeze. Gonna do some gardening when I close the shop this afternoon.<br />
<br />
My friend Tracy is coming for a visit next weekend and we're going to a local public garden so I'll have some pics to show you of that visit.<br />

<b>So, St. Patrick's Day, hmmm conjures up memories to wear green or else you'd get pinched. I'm wearing green today even tho adults don't play that game too much but just in case any of my customers want to pinch me, I'm ready. I got this tee last year on sale and finally get to wear it. I have a wee bit of Irish in me and my mom would make corned beef and cabbage with boiled potatoes most every year.

<b> </b><br />
<b>A few weeks ago, I went out to Murrieta (1 1/2 hour drive) to visit my friend <a href="http://annielizabeth.blogspot.com/2011/04/tracys-crochet-gift.html" style="color: magenta;" target="_blank">Tracy</a><span style="color: magenta;">.</span> We decided to visit the Escondido Wine and Chocolate Festival. It's only about a 30 min drive from her place. We chose not to do the wine and chocolate tasting which cost 20 bucks since we found out that we both get hot flashes when we drink alcohol so we tasted the free samples of chocolate that were being given away. YUM. This was pre-Valentines day with small chocolatiers displaying their candy. It was a fun day with perfect weather. </b><br />
<br />
<b>Before arriving at the festival we stopped at a gift shop called Canterbury Gardens and Gifts. We had thought there was an actual garden but mostly it was a gift shop. They had so many pretty items. Eye candy for sure. </b><br />

<b>This was their Valentine window display. I wanted to find some fabric with strawberries on it but it was out of stock. Tracy bought some ivory silk fabric to cover the buttons on the WEDDING DRESS that she is making for her daughter's wedding coming up this July!!!!! It's gonna be gorgeous. She is so talented. I could kick myself for not taking photos while I was visiting of some ballet costumes that she's made. Professional tutu making and boning, things I've never attempted in sewing. So darn pretty. </b><br />
<b> </b><br />
<b>We both ended up buying some hand made toffee by a small company in Carlsbad (north San Diego coast) called <a href="http://www.thetoffeebox.com/collections/toffee-shop" style="color: magenta;" target="_blank">Toffee Box </a>. Yes, they do mail orders! It is really delish. I'm rationing it and having a little taste every day or two! </b><br />
<b> </b><br />
<b>On our way back we stopped at none other than HOBBY LOBBY! I've only heard about them but they were never out here in California. So I finally got to see what they're all about. I checked out the yarn section and just had to put my hands on the "I Love This Yarn"! I didn't buy any since I have to finish what projects I've got and use up some of my stash like a good girl. WOW, it was a big store but we could only stay for a bit since Tracy's hubby was making us dinner and we didn't want to keep him waiting. We have 3 stores here in So Cal now but none in Los Angeles County :(</b><br />

Our power got knocked out at our shop for 6 days. Six days of no income! Whereas, many people lost trees and awnings and some even had structure damage from big trees falling on their property, all I lost was the NOTARY sign (shingle) attached to the awning in the front window. God only knows where that ended up. The wind brought a cold front and boy, it was cold and dark here in my shop. I came in every day hoping that the power would come on and could only sort mail for my mailbox customers and sign for pkgs from Fedex and UPS. I did manage to do a few notarizations since they are a "low tech" service; good ol' paper and pen! Soooo glad that is over and can get back to business. This is our busy time of year and we do way more shipping for people. </span></b></div><div style="color: #38761d;"><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br />

The shop is closed for the day and I plan to hopefully finish my holiday shopping today. Don't hate me!!!! I just don't have too many gifts to get this year. My daughter isn't able to make it out here so she wants me to send her some goodies from Trader Joe's Mkt. </span></b></div><div style="color: #38761d;"><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br />

Then whatever family members don't have somewhere else to be (about 6-7 of us) then we'll go to his girlfriend's family and celebrate there.

I get kinda nervous about meeting so many new people at one time at their house. But I will just deal with it. Since Mom and I aren't cooking the dinner like we originally planned, then we can sit and catch up on things. I'm making candied yams with walnuts tonight since my bro asked me to "pleeeease" bring them.

What's been happening around here that I meant to post about sooner:<br />
I got a new "Welcome" mat back in June for the front door after someone stole my neighbors and mine back in May. It's big, heavy, stiff and super scratchy. Hopefully it will be enough of a deterrent for any future stealing of my mat!!<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">*********************************************</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Back in Mid August, a lady drove up the curb and hit a chair that got knocked into the window of the Mexican Restaurant a couple doors down from my shop. I heard a loud bang and then went out, hurried back in and grabbed the camera and took these photos for the restaurant owner since he's my friend. The lady's guardian angel was with her since she managed to go between 2 parked cars, 2 trees and up onto the sidewalk and just hit the chair into the window which broke but she could have smashed into the place and best of all is NO ONE WAS HURT!! We found out later that she had a mild stroke and doesn't even remember going up the curb. Temple City is a sleepy little place and not much excitement happens here!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjP6m_ihXUx8IpbOoDNLvLZjkfvYMJNIUooMnZ6cC2SDnoGQZEIAucnefVPcFUVJOPFYAMyZVLYQHba7Maw89aKHlxdHhUb6bZgxPyW_5OT5QM-GBkXVY3JrLe0-4D_tAuVBDDMx_0ASlA/s1600/IMG_8394.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjP6m_ihXUx8IpbOoDNLvLZjkfvYMJNIUooMnZ6cC2SDnoGQZEIAucnefVPcFUVJOPFYAMyZVLYQHba7Maw89aKHlxdHhUb6bZgxPyW_5OT5QM-GBkXVY3JrLe0-4D_tAuVBDDMx_0ASlA/s320/IMG_8394.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">Also in August, my eldest brother and his wife invited our mutual friend, Tracy, her husband and me to go on their boat for the day. We piled in his Jeep and headed northeast a bit to Silverwood Lake. I hadn't been there in ages and we had such a nice day. Being on the lake was so relaxing that I wanted to go out and buy a boat so I could feel that way all the time but of course that is not realistic!!! We all had a great time. I didn't want it to end. Tracy brought cup cakes for my b-day and the frosting had melted off but hey still tasted yummy. </div><br />

So I should have some projects to share pretty soon.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
