Less Pondering More Action

The pondering seems to have stopped, and I've been motivated into action. My new venture, abica beauty, is making tentative steps towards reality :-) I've been sourcing suppliers, mixing and blending, creating new stationery and a website. Its a real life girlie adventure, both the girls are as excited as I am and we are busy choosing label designs this week :-)

So far I have created 2 ranges, the Lavender and Calendula Ranges, both of which have a soap, a scrub, a body butter and a balm in them. Quickly on their heels should hopefully be The Gardeners Range which will be unscented and therefore suitable to the boys as well as the girls lol

Plot wise, I have amazingly managed to get a few hours digging and building a bonfire before the rains came......................will it ever stop raining....................oh and I sowed some early peas :-) I am hoping to plonk in some more raised beds as I find them much more manageable, need to get sowing soon. Toms and chillis will be the first to be sown, I think last year I popped some celeriac in quite early and it bulbed up much better, I just didn't harvest it quick enough, a little creature had a good ole feast on them!!!!

I'd best go and get me wellies on and brave the puddles, not sure I should call them puddles coz they are hoooooooooooooooooooooge, but puddles will have to do :-)

Heck!!

So where did the two weeks disappear to????!!!! its back to work tommorrow and much to the girls disgust its back to school too, their school is the only one reopening to students tommorrow the rest of the schools in our area don't return til Tuesday.................I'm not sniggering really lololol

Am wondering what this year will bring our way, my plans are to expand the business and spend more time at the plot. Oh and take the girls abroad, possibly Croatia although one of the smaller Greek Islands is a possibility too :-)

Christmas was wonderfully relaxed, I did miss the girls over New Year because they pootled off to the Isle of man with their dad. I did, I'm ashamed to say having moments of wallowing but tried to keep busy, built bonfires at the plot but it was too windy to light them and did lots of sewing, think I've made all the curtains and cushion covers that this house needs lololol We have everything we need to be comfortable now so its time to turn my attention to growing and making and launching my lotions and potions range :-)

So away I go to make myself a bit more presentable, I've slobbed about over the holiday and need to appear a little more groomed for work tommorrow (lots of blushing smilies).

take care
