The YOJP 2015 is currently on Week 38 aaannnnd..... I am not. lol☺ As usual, I will continue to plug along until I am caught up. I am up to Week 32☺

Today was a Salsa kinda day Which meant prepping: 12#  tomatoes 6# peppers 3# onions and various other ingredients. After several hours I had 21 pints of salsa☺ Yay! Luckily my buddies came by to help  do some fall clean up in the raised beds  Need to try and finish what they started tomorrow if the weather cooperates☺  

Lots of gardening, visitors and traveling has been happening around here (and not a lot of jewelry making) Hopefully, now that things are calming down a little, I can carve out some time to catch up again;~) Here's Week 24 I bought a blouse to wear to a wedding (part of the traveling) and it came with a seriously awful beaded necklace. I made this to take it's place☺

(Warning: Lots of pictures☺) If we are on Facebook together,  you may have already seen some of these☺ Back in April I posted a bit about our progress on  the building of the greenhouse then I got so busy finishing and filling it, then getting the garden beds ready  and planting them, (plus, making many earrings )  that I just plain didn't have time for more updates until now☺ You can see where I left off here . We had to wait about 4 more days before we had a calm "window" of no wind (which lasted about 2 hours)  before we were able to get the roof panels in. After that, I installed the shelving (all by my self ~ yay me☺)  It was snowing outside  But, even with just a little electric heater, (running off an extension cord)  it stayed plenty warm enough to work inside.   Once I had the shelves in, Honey put in the electrical   and then installed a propane heater ~ it'...

Still finishing up work on the garden beds, so, obviously still playing catch up;~( But I'm almost there☺ Here is the last of the feather earrings that I made for a wedding party. And, FINALLY ~  If I never work with another feather, it will be too soon. Just sayin.

Playing catch up again☺ Just been busy with other things☺ These sets of earrings (and the next few I will be posting)   are similar on purpose. I was sent a bag of feathers and asked if I would use them to create several pairs of earring for a wedding party. I have to admit that working with feathers was a challenge and it took more time than it really should have for me  to wrap my brain around how to assemble all of them. But the task was completed (in time for the wedding☺) and I like the way they turned out. So it's all good;~)
