Making more heart shaped ice to make mocktails fun. I found 2 silicone molds to make little heart shaped ice cubes. I made some last night but they weren't all frozen. I was able to use 3 ice cubes in my mocktail. I think today I'll make some with red food coloring.
My ice sculpture cranberry froze kind of funny! lol...
I'm making more ice sculpture to put on the mail box posts.
Here are a few mocktail ideas using ediable flowers. I'll have to plant some this spring, so we can use the flowers in drinks.
What else is going on with..life...
Still cold today with a high of 9 degrees. We start the warm up on Sunday with temps back into the upper teens then 30's all next week! Just got to get through 3 more days of this cold blast! I need gas today, which is not fun when it's this cold!!
I did 1 neighborhood of flyers/advertising yesterday. I'd like to pick up a few more customers and book out Steve more for jobs. It wasn't a whole lot of advertising, but some which is better than nothing. It's slow going on getting any calls from our efforts. There are jobs out there, so just got to wait and keep at it. I'll probably do more this afternoon or Friday if it's not windy. I did look into advertising with the local paper. The ads are business card size and for 4 weeks/weekly delivery it's $280 for the month. It goes out to the whole Metro area, so we really don't want to be all over. Just 30 min from home. Guess for now we will keep at our flyers since I know that works and we can control the amount of new jobs. That's mostly what's on my mind. I'd like to be more busy. I keep thinking about filling my schedule with dog grooming. I would really like to start that up too. Just want to start with small dogs, just one or two, but it doesn't pay as much for all the effort. I'd get what $50 for 1.5 hours/2hr of work. Ugh! $25 per hour! Not a whole lot for what it all involves. I don't think charging more when I need the experience would be a good idea. I'm sure after awhile with more experience, I could up the prices. Something to keep thinking about. Winters would be the only time I'd like to do that type of work and only in the afternoons. I doubt summer I'd want to do it at all.
It's been 4 weeks since I trimmed up Zoey and she is getting a bit furry again. Probably will wait till next week and then trim her up again to keep it short. I figured out why there are razor lines, its when you trim too fast. I've been watching a few U tube videos and found that out. Also how to hold the trimmer. I'd better start doing that because I'll get in a bad habit and won't be able to break it.
Just keeping up on our house, with the dishes in the kitchen seems to be a constant. I do have a few paint home projects for next week. Just need to purchase some cheap disposable paint brushes.
I'm still in purge / organize the house mode. Got through our spice cabinet. Now to go through the rest of the cabinets and purge. I just don't always feel like doing this as it's not super important. Plus, we can't fill up the garage anymore this week as it's over flowing. Those types of projects are going to have to wait a bit.
I'm still looking for a new rug for the front room. Just gets a lot of traffic through that room, so the rug needs to be dark or it will just look awful pretty quick. I am not loving the shag brownish/gray rug we have currently. Just not sure how to keep the traffic from cutting through the front room??
Well, off to work I go.
