Crazy Times In The Last Couple Of Weeks...

I feel like I am being pulled in all directions… 
And it's not so bad...
And it's Tuesday - So it's time to share with the Tuesday Garden Party
Hosted by An Oregon Cottage
Thanks Jami for hosting this event…
It helps me keep on track with keeping up blogging on this garden blog so time does not slip away...



The 50% off sale perennials are starting to make it into the garden…
And I am starting to keep track of the plant names to better educate myself to avoid spreading plant name ignorance (and so I don't feel so dumb at times - not that I ever want to be viewed as overly educated and intelligent - not like that would ever happen anyway :)




I went to a beading night with some friends and saw this fun garden hill that was a bit overgrown and unkept (I love it!)…




I was hanging outside with Chloe and we were looking at things with her kaleidoscope (sidewalk chalk above)…




I have been pondering the use of copyright free clip art images for some limited edition porcelain pendants as seen above for the My Mom Pattie Etsy shop…


September was her month, so perfect timing to get some new pieces listed…
You can check out my blog for her if you are interested…
And if you want to spread the word, grab the above picture and make a link to her blog or etsy shop
I would appreciate the additional word of mouth for the shop (profits go to help out with my current "cause". Right now it's raising funds to designate a room in her memory to the Tri-State Bird Rescue building annex...



Sidewalk chalk out back on a morning cool enough to have to put on long sleeves…




And fun times with Riley before he starts up school next week…
In my head, I feel momentarily bad about sending him to school (shouldn't I be able to be Super Mom and give him all the education he needs)?
But then I remember how frustrating it can be…
I need some "me time" or something mean inside starts to eek out and it makes everyone not so happy…
 And he will thrive in school with all his little friends and great teachers!
I can't be everything to Riley and Chloe…
And to Dave for that matter too…
We did commit to be there for one another through getting married, and I intend with all my heart to be the best person I can be to help him as he helps me constantly…
I'm carving out time to refocus on Marsha and become a better person for us all…




Here is one of the pieces I created at the beading night last week which may end up in the My Mom Pattie Etsy shop this week. I will be spending the next couple of days listing items into my Marsha Neal Studio Etsy shop - I'm SO excited to share my new work...

Oh and for "Honoring September 2010" I am running a special all month long when you buy any items through either of my Etsy shops:
or
or my website:

  1. I love the little owl pendant, Marsha. I'll have to check out some of your other things at your shop. Don't feel too bad about sending your children to school- I did, too. We all have to do what's best for our families (and ourselves!).

    Thanks for linking to the TGP!
