Tuesday Evening.....

It has taken a few attempts, but I have finally got to post again. First of all, the 30% off sale is extended for a few days. There were some problems with the code, but it is fixed now.

Second, here are a few pics of what I have been working on................







Love this candle and paddle

Maybe this is enough for now. I'm having a few problems getting the pics to go where I want them............
Until next time.
Hugs,
Shari

I'm BaCK!!!!

HAPPY FRIDAY!
I can't believe that it has been sooooooooo long since I last posted! I have been down with my back for over a week now. After visits to my Chiropractor and Medical Doctor, I finally have a little relief from the pain. Muscle relaxers are wonderful when you're having spasms.....it has taken a few days, but at least I can function a little bit.
There's so much that I need to catch up on....lots of blogs to read, emails to answer and new products to design for Winter!! But, I can only sit at the computer for short periods, so.....
Another little tid-bit since my last post.....Fall has finally arrived in K-ville! Only around 50 degrees right now! I guess it's time to put away the flip flops and capri's. :(  Back to jeans and turtlenecks soon!

HUGE NEWS!

I wanted to let everyone know that for 3 days only, I am having a 30% off sale at my web site. Yes, it's true, I said 30 % off!!  Check it out here:
http://www.homespunandprimitives.com/
Instead of offering a few select things, I thought this would be a great idea for all!! Start your Christmas shopping now! And if you have a special order or request, just email me and I'm sure we can work it out. I can almost guarantee that this SALE will not happen again before Christmas! Actually, I have NEVER offered 30% off before!
And to make it even better.....I'll be adding new goodies in the next couple of days! Plus, everyone who makes a purchase will get a free gift and a coupn for their next purchase!! Yipee!! I look forward to hearing from you all!!!

I'll try to post some pics in the next few days of some of the things I have been working on.........until then,
Shari

SepTeMBer WinnER...

Sorry it has taken me so long to get on here and post the winner for September. I have had a few problems  with my computer again. I keep getting knocked off or Internet Explorer just stops working. Don't know what the problem is, but hubby will take a look asap.

Anyhow.....there was an overwhelming amount of entries this month for the contest. In addition to the 100 plus followers here, the folks that left comments, folks that signed the guestbook and folks that just sent emails, there was well over 400 slips of paper. And lo and behold, the first one drawn was an international entry. I contacted her, but the shipping was just too much with the bench, so she passed on it. So, the winner for the SEPTEMBER CONTEST is:

Debra H. of Dothan, Alabama!!

Debra has been a long time web site customer, but hasn't gotten into  blogging yet. I'll be sending out her prize package tomorrow.

I haven't decided what to giveaway for October. Which is better, a gathering of goodies or a gift certificate, so you can choose what you want for yourself??? There are pros and cons to both....I don't always offer the same items as the giveaways, but some folks might like to pick out what they want. A dilema indeed! Please feel free to leave a comment with what you think. Plus it's another entry!!

While I'm thinking about it.....I would like to say a huge THANK YOU to everyone that is following my blog. With everyone's busy schedules, it's so nice that folks take time to come by and visit with me.

I'll be back soon, but please let me know what you would like for the giveaway!

Hugs and Fall Blessings,
Shari

Oh! and by the way...check out my new Picture Trail. Would love to have any helpful hints!

HAPPY FRIDAY!


I can't believe it's Friday already. The weeks are flying by and it won't be long before Halloween is here and Fall will be gone. And then Christmas is just around the corner. It has finally cooled off this evening and there is a nip in the air! Yesterday it was near 90 degrees here....didn't seem too much like Autumn.

These are a few of the things that I have been working on this week. There was a few more, but I forgot to take pictures. :(



I don't even know what to call this...
Special Request Annie and Wood Pumpkins...
Large Wood Pumpkin.....
Burgandy over Black Whale Tail Shelf.....
Smaller version spoon rack....Fall SignMini wool pillow......
Small Painted Muslin Pumpkin... and one of my new favorites! Mini dough board....


There is still lots of time to enter my monthly contest. Just leave a comment or email me!


And lastly, I would like to send my sincere THANKS to Daisy! I love my new blog and I think it looks GREAT!!! I am still so excited about it!


I still have lots to do for today, so I'm gonna run for now. Be back soon with some Fall pics around my house.

Hugs,
Shari

HALLowEEN FaBriC...

Happy Friday, Y'all!

Today was rainy, droopy day in K-ville! Trying not to complain, cause we really need the rain, but....I wasn't in the mood to do much of anything. I misplaced a piece of fabric and while I was looking for it, I ran across this piece of really nice quality Halloween fabric. I have had it for a long time and know that I will probably not ever use it. So...I thought I would see if anyone in Blogland could use it. It's around 2 yards and I want $3.00 plus shipping for it. I can stick it in an envelope and it won't cost hardly anything to ship it. If you're interested, send me an email:
first come~first served


I'll be back soon.
