Saturday evening........

It's been rather chilly here today. Folks are burning leaves and it smells very Fall-like outside. Leaves are slowing turning on our Maple trees in the back yard. The Bradford pear in front hasn't started yet, neither has the huge Crepe Myrtle, but I'm sure it won't be too long.
I've been freezing all day...even inside my house. My capris and flip flops have got to go....they will soon be replaced with jeans and turtlenecks.

~~~~~~~~~~

I am really not pleased with the way pictures are posted these days. It's too dang complicated!! But, I have several things I would like to share, so we'll see how it goes........

This was a bunch of goodies that went to my craft booths....

Lately, I've been making doubles and triples of everything.

Just added this to my web site....

Beautiful Cardinal Ornament will be on my web site soon!

Red Elf Shoes added to Etsy shop......

Rectangular Shaker Boxes are on my web site now....

One of a kind, crazy quilt mat set~Shipping Included~



One of a Kind, Primitive Pear Pin-Keep

and lastly:

Very Popular Homespun Oblong Pillow...

That's about it for now.I have more painting to do, so I'm gonna run for now....

Thanks for stopping by! And come back soon.

Hugs,

Shari

Feeling like FALL.......

I think FALL is finally trying to arrive in K-ville! It actually has cooled off and it just feels like Fall is close by. Personally, I like the cooler days...it has been so hot here this summer. It's nice to see folks bringing out their Fall decor and pumpkins. For a while there, I thought no one else was going to....

~~~~~~~~~

I decided the other day to cut up one of my quilts to make some things. I had pondered for months on what to make out of it....wanted to have a plan before I cut it. Finally decided on a few pin keeps, pillows and a few new things.

Sawdust Pillows....

wood star with old quilt pocket.....

muslin sheep with old quilt pocket.....

~~~~~~~~~~

Last week, I got around to making this bear....I have been wanting to make one for ages and just never got around to it. I found this piece of plush felt that I have moved around to several different houses and decided it was time. The pattern is from Sweet Meadows Farm...I realize that mine looks different than the pattern, but I think he's pretty cool anyway....

I made his legs floppy so he could be posed in different positions. There's another one in the works...just needs eyes. I'll share him later.

~~~~~~~~~

Well, chilli's cooking and almost ready to eat, so I'm gonna run for now! Thanks for stopping by and I would love to hear from you guys!!

Hugs,

Shari

Finally back to Blogland....

What a week this has been.... Drs. appointments, snow, surgeries, hubby on vacation again, orders to do, computer issues.....heck,  even the kittens have been sick this week. So glad the first week of March is behind me.

I have lots to catch up on. Haven't been able to post or add things to my site, but I have a few new listings on Etsy.  And sold a few things this week, Yippee! Hope to start doing more there.

I guess the most important thing to announce is:

February Giveaway Winner 

Cathy D. from Washington, Iowa! Congratulations!

I've never even heard of that Washington....but they must love prims there. Cathy made her selection of goodies very quickly. And fortunately, I had a couple of things already made up AND in the right colors!! This is what she chose and the package is already on the way to her.

Cathy made the special request for the little black doll...I love how she turned out and she'll be added to my web site asap.

~~~~~~~~~~

How do you guys do your drawing if you don't use that number generator thingy??? On a daily basis, when I get a comment or email, I write that person's name on a slip of paper and put it in a little basket. ( I also check for new followers and folks that sign my guestbook.) When it comes time for the drawing, I have someone (besides me) pick a name. I give the person three days to get back to me or another name will be picked. This is a rather easy way for me and it seems fair to all.

~~~~~~~~~~

Okay, on to March news.....

This will be the giveaway for MARCH 2010...

The little doll is another new one that will be added soon to my site. The strawberry is new too and soooo cute! It's hard to see, but this Prim Gathering consists of:

Black -12 inch table bench

Grungy pillar candle and burgandy paddle

14 inch doll

Strawberry

Grungy Star

and

Black Cutting Board

Rules are the same as always.........

~~~~~~~~~~

I have a few pictures of what I've been working on, but blog is acting up again.

Be back soon.

Shari

NeW FoR SunDAy....

It has been an almost perfect Sunday in K-ville. The birds are singing, the sun has been shining and the temperature has been in the 60's. The kind of day where you almost have to be outside, at least a little bit. I sat out with Mr. Ruffie for a short time and Bill put a huge bag of fertilizer on the lawn. We have been in and out, here and there for most of the day. Now, I need to think about what to make for dinner. Something quick and easy....maybe soup ( I have some homemade vegeatable beef soup in the freezer), sandwiches and chips. We had a pretty big breakfast at the local diner and for lunch I made a roast with mashed potatoes and tossed salad. So, I think dinner can be skimpy for us this evening.



This is the featured 1/2 off item on my web site for this week.... check it out here if you're interested:
http://www.homespunandprimitives.com/store/WsDefault.asp?One=612

This is new for today. I sell these almost as fast as I get them on my site. This one is in really pretty shades of blue and burgandy....it fits so nicely on a doorknob. You can find it here:
http://www.homespunandprimitives.com/store/WsDefault.asp?One=824

Did you notice that I put an updated pic of Alex and Miss Elle in the side bar? They are getting sooooooo big and grown up. Alex will be 5 on April 15th and Elle is almost 3.........

Tomorrow promises to be another busy day for me. (And I am so glad!) I already have my To-Do list made up and ready to go.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
Until next time.
