Not the flu

A comment, how nice! Thanks Kerry, it’s nice to hear from a fellow Etsyan and Blogger.

Not the Flu, though it was a viral infection. I was on a course of antibiotics, as well as herbal and vitamin supplements, and soothing aroma therapy.
I’m feeling much better. The sunny and warmer weather contributes greatly my feeling of well being. It has been lovely the last few days. Thanks to friends who e-mailed, I will reply soon.

I craved fruit and almost nothing else every day, so I made a lovely compote of available fresh fruit:

So to catch up a bit, on Sunday the second, since we already had tickets, we went to see “The Night of January 16th." Hubby was part of the jury pool, picked randomly from a list of the membership and the audience. Their verdict was “Not Guilty” Though it could have gone either way. The next play will be Godspell. I said no to helping with the costuming for it, but I look forward to helping with the next youth group staging, though they haven’t chosen a play yet.
We celebrated hubby’s March 13th birthday with brownies, and he opened his presents--- yes he likes the album of motorcycle photos, though I wish I had had more time to work on it. The celebrations continued on Friday the 14th, with a trip to the city. We stopped at several motorcycle shops where hubby enjoyed looking at the ones on his wish list. Then it was on do a bit of shopping, I found a metal cart with a wood top which is just right for the area next to the washer for storing the sewing machine and recycle bin. I spent some time in Michael’s, where I finally got to use the gift card my sis sent me last Christmas. I bought mostly watercolour papers and some essential oils. We ate a buffet lunch. Since I was still on the antibiotics, The slight nausea limited my choices, but the vegetable cheese pie was really good.
Of course, we had to spend some time at Barnes & Nobles book store. We both bought books; I got three, including a great Quilting book, more on that later.
We didn’t stay in the city as long as we usually do, my energy was so low, but we had a good time none the less.

On the way home, we stopped at the sushi bar for take-away for me. I got the California rolls, and the tuna sashimi. Hubby stopped for burgers and fries.

On Saturday, We went a couple of towns west to the Home Depot to buy the new vinyl flooring for the work room. I wanted something simple, and neutral, so we chose this one:

It will be installed by us next weekend.
We have decided that we need to do a custom cupboard next to the shelving, because the standard is too tall and would prevent the electrical box from opening properly.


My latest listing in the shop


















I'm still considering opening a second shop for my natural and earth friendly products, but I don't know if I should just yet. I'll have to think about it for a bit longer.
