July 5, 2021

 

 Tea tag inspiration:

There are a total of six chicks, so far. I really didn't expect any to hatch this round, so this is a nice surprise.

No overnight sales. :(

Couldn't sleep, so I am up at 3 am ... bah!

It's Massacre Monday ... that's what I call rooster-butchering day ... but, I'm probably going to pass this week. Don't have much room in the freezer right now. And, I have a lot of other things I want to do. 

I bought a rock tumbler a couple weeks ago, but haven't even opened the box! So, I think I'm going to study up on that and do some rock collecting to start my first batch of rock polishing. It takes several weeks to finish a batch. I'll be selling most of the polished stones. Some, I will keep for crafts.

I need to start getting things listed on eBay. Plus, I need to start revising the graphics shop! Gotta make money!

It sprinkled this morning.

Another chick hatched and another is pipped!! 7am

It's a Sammy kind of day for music. My mom used to tell the story of going to Tahoe with my dad (he was an addicted gambler) when I was a few months old. No babies allowed on the floor, so we hung out at one of the casino restaurants. In walks Sammy with his entourage. So, she got to see him, but my dad didn't!

Chick #8 hatched at 10am.🐣 

Laundry is on the drying racks.

Menu board is set up for the week.

New listing on eBay.

Lunch is a snack mix of salami/cheese/crackers/olives/nuts/date/crème fraîche, and orange spice sun tea. Dinner will be cheesy pasta with ground beef, and raspberry milk tea.

I'm working on my graphics shop and removing outdated sections, etc. before I start on the designs. It's very frustrating that CaféPress removed a lot of products/images from my sections, over the years. So, I think I'm just going to have to start from scratch.

Then, I'm going out to grab some promising rocks to put in the tumbler.

Well, crap ... the tumbler didn't come with any of the grit! I'll have to get it Friday, or might check Amazon ... Still going out to get the rocks from the yard.

 I think I found some nice rocks. Can't wait to get started on them and see what they turn out to be!

Gah. It's 102°F. Almost burned my bare feet ...

I hate that Google Photos takes sooooooo long to sync from my phone to my computer. They'll show up almost instantly in the app on the phone. But, can take hours or even days to show up on the website! I took pictures of all the chickies to put on this post this morning. It's 2:30 and they are still not on the website for me to copy to the post.

I just learned something. If there are marker stains on your dry erase white board, just cover with dark dry erase marker and let it set for a bit. Then, wipe off and the stains will be gone! I bought a white board calendar the other day and it was a mess. It's all coming off! It may take a few uses, but it works.
