Middle of March already.............

Good Evening Folks!

Once again time has gotten away with me and half of March is gone already. Early this morning as I was driving to an early Dr's appointment, it occured to me that 2012 is truly flying by. Easter will be here before we know it and as usual, I have never gotten around to making all the goodies that I have intended and (really) wanted to make for Spring. So many ideas, so little time.

I do have tons of homespun eggs for a real bargain price. This bowl has only part of what I have ready. I do love them in this "re-do" bowl. Thi would make a great centerpiece!

I am also making these banners.......this is one of my favorites so far....it would be perfect on a double window and it can be hung with straight pins , if necessary.

I also have  Crow (with crows), Welcome (with Pineapples), USA (with flags) plus a few more. I'll try to post pics as they're finished. I think last names and kids names would be great!



These are made from a thin wood, painted, stenciled, sanded and antiqued to look old. Strung together and tied with jute. Lightweight enough to hang almost anywhere! I will also do custom!!

Also I'm going to be posting new goodies at my web site. Look for those in the next few days...

Before I close, I wanted you all to see my living room. We got new furniture back in November, so I had to make a few changes. I had to be practical  with fabric choices, cause of the kittys, but we really love the new look. The sofa is the perfect size for the room and I love the slight camel back. This was taken in December when the Christmas tree was up, so it is a bit different now. I'm still doing a bit of tweaking and I'll share those another day.

Be sure and check out my web site in the next few days!

Until next time....hugs and blessings,

Merry Christmas! 

It's been a while and a SALE at my web site......

Wow! I can't believe it's been 6 weeks since I've posted here. Where does the time go? I have tried to keep tabs on a few folks to see what's happening, but even that is difficult at times. For the past month or so, haven't felt too good and been working to get caught up on orders...I am so blessed to have such great customers and so many orders!! Finally, the Tuesday before Thanksgiving, I got all my orders shipped that needed to go before the Holiday. What a relief it was!! I had one day to shop and cook before having my parents and my brother's family over to eat.
I wish that I would have remembered to take pictures, but of course I was to involved with it all to remember. Martha Stewart would have been proud of my 17 pound turkey...turned out perfect! I was thrilled! Been years since I had cooked one like it....made all the fixings too! Even used my fine china, silver and crystal. What a day! I think we all enjoyed it. Hope y'all enjoyed your day!
I have managed to get my tree up a bit early this year. Looks great, I think.

Decided tho, to simplify the decorating this year. It's a lot of trouble for me to pack up tubs with everyday to bring down the seasonal, so this year will be a bit sparse. But, I think it'll be fine, cause of the new furniture. Yep, I have it finally arranged and decorated. Love it! Will post pics soon!

Also, wanted to let everyone know that I am having a 25% off sale at my web site from today thru Wednesday.

Saturday, early morning...............

Good morning all! I am up early this morning because I have so much to do on this chilly, Fall day. I wanted to share my update over at the Olde Primitive Peddler with you. I'm still relatively new with this group, but I have enjoyed it so far. This is one of the prim goodies that I am offering there this month...

Set of Grungy Prim Ornaments



You can find them here, along with a few more items:

I'm looking for a way to make the blackened beeswax to coat some ready made pillar candles.I have a customer that wants some with the dirty, black look. Or anyway to make them look dark. I've only done the lumpy, bumpy kind with melted wax and cinnamon. Anyone want to share their secrets? I've looked at the local craft stores, but can't seem to find anything. Maybe, because I don't know what I'm looking for. LOL! Any help would be appreciated. :)

Forgot to take pictures when I went to the Marketplace Booth the other day, but I'm going this morning and have my camera in my bag, so hopefully I can remember to take it in. I think the booth is really loking GREAT! Next week, I'll be working on Christmmas there. I'm hoping there won't be much Fall left to deal with. 

Gonna run for now. Be back soon! Thanks for stopping by!

Hugs and Blessings,

Shari
