Happy belated Easter everyone. I hope you had a wonderful time with family and food. I have been so busy these last two weeks I feel like I am on a roller coaster, but I hope things are a little calmer in the next few weeks.
I was able to get the garden planted on Saturday. I cannot find eggplant starts any where but I know they will pop up some where in a few weeks. I also started a large tray of seedlings again. Corn, sunflowers, and some more morning glories. They should be up and ready to transplant in a few weeks. I am almost done filling in the front bed with perennials, then as the season progresses I will continue to add perennials from the dead and dieing bins. I can fill in holes as I go. I also bought a large bacopa on sale and am in the process of transplanting that for my flower boxes. I will work on those later. There is still so much cleaning to do outside. That will just have to wait.
I want to really take stock of my shop today and get things organized and out. I am trying a couple of new strategies to get through the summer. My sissie has come up with a couple of new ideas I am trying to implement. I must save at least $100.00 in an envelope a week for the next 7 weeks. Then if I can continue it will help offset the rent for the studio and as it is my largest bill in the summer. I am panicky right now as I have not been able to save as I like and even though I have some savings, it is not enough to get through. Last summer was not good and I don't want a repeat. I also need to remember how sick I was and I could not really do anything. I am feeling pretty good now. So if my health holds I think things will be better.
Again I have 3 paper work struggles to get done today and I will get them done! I will not procrastinate!
Well the shop is calling and I have a whole day of work planned.
Out My Window: Beautiful but a little cool.
Have a great and productive day!

I wonder if you could do some sort of "summer camp" at your studio to bring in some money. Or maybe partially rent out your studio for the summer for a temporary zumba or yoga space? Overhead for businesses is SO expensive these days! Good luck with the $100 project!
ReplyDeleteActually we do two or three camps but again by the time I pay teachers and advertize, I make no money sometimes I lose money so I have to be very careful.
