Hi nyadm - I have so many interests that I find it hard to settle down and do one thing for too long, so I've started several projects over the years.
Since I love gardening, I decided to design and landscape the yard around my house after I moved into it 10 years ago. I originally thought I'd have it done in 6 years, but between money, time, weather and my health, plus plants not performing as expected and deer pulling up tulip bulbs with their long tongues, rabbits nibbling at some plants and now I'm allergic to bee venom, plus can't be out in the sun more than 20 minutes at a time - well, its about 90% complete.
I also started writing a trilogy starting with my mom's life the year she met my dad (they're both dead now - mom stabbed to death by a crazy man in the foyer of my aunt's house when I was 7, and dad after a heart attack 20 years ago), 50,000 words done, but needs editing; middle starts after mom's death and how her 4 children grew up without her 48,000 words, but needs proofing and editing; last starts with my divorce after 7 years of marriage, about 25,000 words so far.
Between those 2 things I've had 3 different booth at crafters' malls where I sold twill aprons and tote bags that I painted; floral arrangements and wreaths and swags, plus gift baskets I made; vintage home furnishings, jewellery, clothes, purses, etc.; antique items from my grandmother - lace tattings, table linens, furniture, collectible teacups with matching saucers, books, etc..
Most recently I started to put tiling up in my kitchen, but, sadly, my hand is not as steady as it should be to do that, so its crooked. I either have to take most of it off and start over, or pay to have a professional do it. Opps!
Cee
