Father's Day Sunday.....

Happy Father's Day to all that qualify out there! Bill and I are getting ready to go out for breakfast as we do almost every weekend and later we are going to see my Dad and Mom. My sister will be there with her husband as well. I am making potato salad to take along with something else. Not sure what it's going to be yet.......we are running really late for us today. I could barely get out of bed this morning. ( My lower back is killing me. I can see a trip to the chiropractor in my near future)I spent most of yesterday cleaning out the garage! What a mess it was!! And it was 90+ degrees. There's still some organizing and final sweeping to do, but most of it is done. In between cleaning, I got lots of goodies painted to take to my craft booths. Oh shoot!! I shouldv'e taken before pictures! You won't believe how a few of things turned out with just a coat or two of spray paint!

Saturday Special..........

We're having a very hot Saturday in NC today! This weekend is supposed to be one of the hottest so far. I'm kinda glad I'm working in the house today. Bill needs to mow the grass today, but it's way too hot to do it now.

~~~~~~~~~~

After going to breakfast this morning, I came home and decided to tackle a project that I have had on my TO DO list for ages. It just keeps getting passed on to the next day. And finally, I said ENOUGH!! Just get it done. I don't have a laundry room in this house, my washer and dryer are in a closet in the hallway. It's not very big, but a lot of "STUFF" seems to accumulate there. I took everything out....pulled out the dryer, even moved the washer by myself!! Cleaned the cob webs, washed the floor and wiped down the walls as much as I could. (This is a soon to be paint project.) I threw out a bag of garbage, put some extra toys in another location and filled a box  with clothes and miscellanous to take to Goodwill. Even made a list of it all and put the stuff in my car to drop off later today! It feels really good to get this accomplished!! As I'm sure it won't be too much longer before my washer/dryer set dies....I have had this set for over 19 years!! Yes, I mean 19 years!!

Tuesday morning....

Good Tuesday Morning To All!

It's lovely, sunny day in Kernersville. The kind of day that screams for you to be outside, not too hot, not too cold. I took a few things out to dry in the sun, but I don't have time to work outside today! I'm working on a huge wholesale order that will probably take days to finish! But that's a good thing for me!!!

I meant to post the Giveaway for April yesterday, but had difficulty getting Blogger to cooperate....wonder what that's all about? I made a few comments on some blogs and the message came up the page couldn't be found. Go figure, huh?

Anyways, finally this is what I'm giving away for April!

2 Prim Dolls

Grungy Candle, Pan and Rosehips

Primitive Gatherings Sign

Prim Bird on Spindle

3 Folk Art Flowers

and

Small Dough Board!

There's still time to enter, so get your name in the hat!

~~~~~~~~~~

I'm still looking for folks to send me pictures of their goodies made by me to post here. I think it would be fun to see how folks are decorating with their purchases.

Well, I'm off to Hobby Lobby to get a few supplies....be back soon!

Hugs,

Shari

Beautiful 1st Saturday of Spring....

It's been an absolutely beautiful first day of Spring here in NC. I hope you all are able to enjoy it. Hubby and I went up to Pilot Mountain today and it was such a nice drive. Signs of spring were everywhere! Didn't take my camera, but I should have.....

Took a few things up there for my booth...at Pilot Mountain Peddlers

Wish I would've taken a before picture. This was a pale aqua blue color. I sanded it first, painted it black, sanded it again and antiqued it. I also added the peg to the side and three pegs at the bottom that you can't see (after the picture is made smaller to fit). Turned out GREAT! Kinda wish I had somewhere to put it.

Also took more folk art flowers...

and a few more items that I didn't take pictures of. 

We stopped at a little cafe on the way back to have lunch. Don't remember the name, but it was pretty good. We just had sandwiches and fries, but enjoyed it. Everyone there was so friendly.

~~~~~~~~~~

A few other goodies  that I have been working on this week...along with lots of bonnets, carrots, dolls and pillows.

  

Painted tulips were a special order. But I made extras to put on my web site.

They look fabulous in my pottery vase. Don't ya think? 

One of a kind Kitty is going to my web site.

Another special order...grungy chick

One of my first attempts at a mouse...this was made for a friend....

Etsy order....

Wish I could remember to take more pics. I am usually in such a hurry to get things finished, packed and shipped....I just forget.

There's a few more things I need to get finished today, so I'm gonna run for now.

HAPPY SPRING!

Shari

Another Snowy Friday................

I can't believe another week has shot by...between Drs.appointments (mine and going with my Mom and Dad), my niece having her twins, Saydee and Sawyer to go along with ShyAnn and Skyler (all S's, six letters and all have a Y, cute huh?) working on orders, picking up supplies and making a trip on Thursday to Pilot Mountain and Fancy Gap.....and to top it off we are supposed to get another significant amount of SNOW this weekend.
It's barely 7:00 here and the grass is covered, but none on the sidewalk or streets. They (don't exactly know who they are???) decided earlier today to close schools 2 hours early and cancel evening activities all around the Triad. We went out to dinner beause I was afraid we'd be stuck in the house all weekend. There were lots of folks out and about, even in the pouring Snow. I'll post some pics tomorrow.......

 First of all, Tammy has some great things in the Peddler Store at Pilot Mountain. Here's a few things that I forgot to share last time I was there.

This great little candleholder...

Rusty hanging candleholder....

Wall or lap quilt, Jackson not included....and not to forget Jake

Aren't they getting big???

~~~~~~~~~

I found this on Thursday as well...at one of the Antique stores.

I couldn't resist it. It has a heart logo on it....

~~~~~~~~~~

Then on to Fancy Gap to take this....

If any of you guys are near Crockett's Country Store, it is well worth the drive! Right now, they have a huge selection of braided rugs, enamelware (ON SALE) and little kitchen table sets. The store is decorated for Valentine's Day and looks great!!! Betty and Dan are always there to answer questions and offer plenty of decorating ideas!!

I got these few things while I was there....

I'll show you soon where the enamelware strainer is going. Love, love, love these little bunches of flowers. The leaves remind me of fun foam that my kids used to play with. The label is going on a large jar my Mom saved for me.

~~~~~~~~~~

I didn't realize this was going to be so long. Just a couple more things and then I'm off to finish a project.

I put a few new things on my web site yesterday and I am so excited!!! I sold three of these almost as soon as I got it on there. Turned out really CUTE!!!

Accessories shown are not included...

and have already sold one of these

Round table bench/riser..........

Stay warm and safe. I'll be back soon with some other projects.......

Hugs,

Shari
