The Egg Shack and More

I hope everyone had a fabulous Mother's Day.  I did!  The Beautiful flowers were from Bonnie.  The rest of my kiddo's did kind, loving things for me or if they were far away I got a great phone call, which of course I always love and appreciate.

I was also gifted a gift that I've been wanting for a few years now.  I have already tried it out and it fits perfectly... My new bike!  He-He! The color is fantastic, a beautiful light minty green with a white/black and mint green seat.  I just need a few accessories like a helmet and a beautiful woven basket to go on the handlebars and she'll be set to go.  I think I'm going to name her Beatrice.

Believe it or not, our eggs are selling at a phenomenal rate.  We sold out in just under a week and have a waiting list.  So I've officially named the little enterprise, "The Egg Shack" and it even has its own email address.  We are going to be doing cards as well and I'm already busy at designing them.  I am looking forward to perhaps getting a website up and going as well.  We did go ahead and purchase the domain name on 4 separate sites.  So now the task is to just get the stuff going.  I need to get a web designer, I need to get a card designer, etc.  Oh just so much to do....  Heheheheeheeeeeee. I feel better.

Knitting is going great.  Completions are adding up.  I finished a wonderful pair of green socks for myself and a shawl.  So looking forward to wearing both.  Working on a panel that I'll use for the closet opening in the master bathroom.  I spun the yarn myself and am thinking that when I no longer need the panel I can re-purpose the panel into a beautiful brown shawl. 

Kristina has obtained her second job for the summer and has been awarded MVP for her first job after working there for just about a month.  We're so proud of her.  She was also elected education coordinator in her sorority, Phi Sigma Sigma, and is looking to add a council position to her credentials in the future.  Below is my Kitchen Chicken that Kristina got for me for Mother's Day.

Frittata's and other wonderful things...

 



Frittata's are a wonderful way to cook a lovely filling meal and have it be a healthy meal as well.  Of course in our house I have to add the fried potatoes and homemade biscuits, so perhaps its not quite as healthy as it should be, but boy is it tasty!  Yum!

Our days are getting longer now.  The chickens are producing regularly enough to start selling their eggs.  I have multiple customers now and everyone seems to be happy with their purchases and they are coming back for more.  With that I've started thinking of naming our little enterprise.  I've come up with, "The Egg Shack".  It seems to encompass the whole idea of my chickens and I think its cute.

School is almost out for the summer now.  The kids have so many end of the year projects and fun activities to do that its taking up quite a bit of time.  Once "things" calm down a bit I'll get back into more of the blogging. 

I do have a couple of little surprises to tell at a later date...  check back! =)
