Sunday Evening................

HELLO ALL!

Hope you all are well!

It's been such a long time since I have posted. I have tried to sneak on to read a few blogs, but to be honest....I just haven't had the time to post or I haven't made the time to. This is always such a busy time for me and there's soooooo much going on for me right now, that I have really neglected blogging and my web site. I promise to do better when things slow down a bit......I tried to add a few things to my site today and dang it, they have made all these wonderful upgrades that I am going to have to learn how to use! It has been so long since I have had a chance to update there....but I did manage to get a couple of things on there.

There have been 2 Christmas Open Houses that I had to make things for. I think Crockett's Store (alone) in Fancy Gap could keep busy. Plus I am still trying to fill my booth at Pilot Mountain Peddlers in Pilot Mountain! They both had Christmas open houses this weekend. And I didn't have (near) the Christmas goodies that I would like to have had, but I did the best I could. Hopefully, I'll be adding more in the days to come...there's still a little time left for Christmas, right?

Here's some of the things that I have been working on.........

Grungy Mittens with greenery....

Candy canes made from ticking....

Candles, candles and more candles.....

Christmas stars.......

Stocking door greeter......

Painted Christmas heart.........

Lots and lots of room sprays...

Annie shelf sitter......

Christmas tapers.........

Dolls....

Kitty and snowman....

Prim Angel on spool........

I'm not feeling so good today, so I think I'll close for now! I 'll have more to share soon!

Hugs and Blessings,

Shari

Rain, Rain and more Rain

Happy November Y'all!

I can't believe how long it has been since I have posted....and now it is November already! Halloween was rainy off and on all day and evening. We had between 20-25 trick or treaters before we turned off the lights. It had started to rain again and I just didn't want to fool with it.

Last week was a very busy week for me, although I didn't get a lot accomplished. This is the time of year when I have to make every minute count! My back is still giving me a fit at times and Friday I had one of the worst headaches in ages. Both of my Grandkids had the H1N1 Virus and Am thinks maybe she had it on Thursday. I thought that that she should go to the Dr., but she was afraid of picking up something else while she was there. Miss Elle had it first...Dr. dianosed over the phone. Since she had no severe symptoms, other than a high temp for a couple of days, they didn't treat her with anything. A few days later Alexander had some serious issues with breathing, so the Pediatrician saw him immediately. They treated him with Tamma-Flu (?). We couldn't believe that with insurance it was still $60.00 for 5 days! What do folks do that don't have insurance???

Okay, enough of that...

Lots of pics, so grab a cup of tea or coffee.

Just a day or so ago, I finished up the last of the Fall items for orders. And I have started on a few things for Christmas, but some of the OOAK items are selling almost as soon as I get them on my web site. That's a good thing and I am so appreciative! I think next year I will work on Christmas in April! With the economy still slugglish here, I didn't anticipate folks buying so much FALL and now CHRISTMAS.

Here are a few pics of what I've been doing....
