OOAK Goodies To Share.......

HAPPY SUNDAY Y'ALL!!
Brrrr! I saw that someone else started out their blog this way and thought it very fitting....it is so bitterly cold here. Temperatures haven't been this low in a long time. It's about 27 degrees here right now, but this morning it was 17 or 18 when I looked at the thermometer. Way too cold for me. And it's supposed to be that way for all this week!!! Have I mentioned that I hate cold weather??? I will be staying in all week, drinking hot drinks and crafting, crafting, crafting. So happy that I have lots to do this week and hubby goes back to work. Yey!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


I have been planning to post some things that my best friend, Lain (she's also my sister!) has made, but she ended up selling most of the goodies before I could share them with you all! She is just starting out selling on-line and I offered to show some of her wares. I am going to help her soon with a blog of her own and maybe an Etsy or  Picture Trail site.
But, in meantime, here's  a couple of her handmades.....

I am trying to re-do a few things since taking down my decorations. What do y'all think about using this wonderful old, old ironing board as a sofa table??? I don't know exacly what to put on it, but I found this big, ole bowl in Cait's room the other day. I had totally forgotten about it and would really like to use it somewhere......

A couple more things, and I'm off to eat some yummy homemade, vegetable beef soup....

I love the ironing board as a sofa table! I think an old iron would look neat on it, or some picture frames.

Shari, your sister is doing a fine job on her handmades. The heart is my favorite. I love the ironing board as a sofa table; it looks like the perfect size. Sherie

Your sister is so talented too! I love the prim bag with carrots and the crow.

Best of luck for both of you in the New Year!

You should move to AZ. We moved her about 3 years ago from Utah and don't think I will ever be able to do winter again. It gets down to 60* in the morning here. Much more pleasant than the freezing temps.
I love your ironing board. And, your sister is a very talented gal!
Take care-
Jo-Anne
