Friday.......

I made it! to Friday that is! It has been quite a week for me....I spent alot of time with my parents this week. My Dad has been having some health issues and the most important thing was for me to be with them. Everything hopefully will be fine in a few more days, but my Dad is nearing 80 and my Mom is close behind.  Any time with them is time well spent. You never have regrets if you put your family first.

I have worked on some new goodies and orders this week and have finally gotten caught up from vacation......my craft booths got some much needed TLC as well. Not a lot, but a bit. If all goes well, I want to re-do the booth in Pilot Mountain soon. I know Tammy is going to have some fabulous new pieces and a Fall Open House in September and I want my booth (with Terri) to look wonderful.

I have also worked on my web site a bit.....I'm having two front page specials:

 Prairie Bird is the first.

You can find it here:

And the second one.

You can find it here:

It has taken me almost all day to this and the first time I posted (or so I thought)  couldn't get any pictures to post...it seems fine now.

I'll see you all soon!

Hugs,

Shari

 We've had another lovely day in NC. I almost hate to see the weekend  be over. I've been busy working on a few orders and on a some new items......wish there were more hours in my days! Just can't seem to get enough accomplished sometimes.

New for Saturday....

Hope everyone is having a great weekend, so far! It's beautiful here in NC, although a little warm. Hubby mowed the grass and I was out in the workshop cutting a few pieces of wood for a new project. We're all done now and as I am resting, thought I would share this new doll.

Whew, it's Friday.........

What a week this has been! I meant to post on Wednesday and then again, yesterday, but I was so tired that I couldn't sit down and use my brain. I took a little trip on Wednesday up to Betty and Dan's (Crockett's Country Store) recently re-opened store in Whythville, VA! Oh my goodness, you have to go by and visit if you are anywhere near the area! It's an old house COMPLETELY filled with primitives, antiques and handmades! It's kinda like stores used to be years ago, filled with charm and personality! I forgot my camera, but here's a sampling of their FALL merchandise.

Bill and I will be going back up there around Labor Day and I will definately take my camera!!

More patterns for sale.......

It's Tuesday already and I can barely remember what happened to Monday...I've only got a few minutes as I am making dinner. Hot boiled shrimp with drawn butter and cocktail sauce, baked potatoes and a sliced iceberg lettuce salad with grape tomatoes, fresh cucumber and green pepper (hubby's new favorite salad). I bought a couple of cake slices for dessert, but I'm not sure if we'll eat them.

Okay on to the business at hand.......

I bought these from some one's blog with the intention of making little pantry cakes. I've never gotten around to it and thought maybe someone else might want them to try. These are quite small, I photographed them on a piece of scrapbooking paper, 8.5 x 11, so you could visulize the general size. The small one is about 2.75 inches across. The larger one is about 3.75 inches across.

Beautiful Sunday with lots of Bargains.....

The weekend is almost over and I have accomplished so much. My craft room/studio is almost completely organized, plus I am sewing bonnets and pumpkins this afternoon. Such a nice feeling to sew where the floor is clear and shelves are dusted. Pretty soon, I'll be sharing pics of a newly painted room, at least I hope so. During all the cleaning, I have discovered several books, leaflets, fabrics and more that I know in my heart I will never use and have decided to part with. Here are a few things to start with:

Each one of these books are filled with tons of projects and detailed instructions.

2.75 Ea. plus shipping

Saturday Cleaning Up and Out.....

Hey Everybody! Hope you all are having a great weekend so far. It is finally a little cooler here, so I decided to tackle cleaning and organizing my craft room/studio!! In between working on orders and looking for new things to make, I have barely had time for anything else. But, today, I decided to take a few hours and JUST DO IT!!

I have a question for all you crafting gals.....how do you organize your magazines to find articles/patterns that you might want to make at a later time? I always seem to forget or wait too long for that season and by the time the next year rolls around, there's new magazines plus I have totally forgotten about the previous years. There must be some way that other folks do it. I had even thought about scanning into my computer, but that would take way too much time. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. For the moment, I just keep all my magazines on a bookshelf in my room.

Taking a break from all this and going to the Mexican restaurant for lunch! Yum!!

Friday night witch, oh my........

One with candy corn on a stick, one for everyday with a calico dress and sheep and lastly another one for everyday, dressed in homespun with folk art flower. 

Be back soon.

Hugs,

Shari

Saturday morning, giveaway winner and rambling....

Well, another week has flown by and I haven't accomplished (near) what I needed to....the beginning of the week was pretty much taken up with Dr's. appointments. I was supposed to start a new treatment for my blood problem, but by the time Wednesday rolled around, I had talked myself and my oncologist out of it. After attempting it on Monday and Tuesday, I thought it best not to try on Wednesday. Maybe, someone was trying to tell me something, huh??? So, after careful thought and consideration, we have decided to try a new medication and see what the numbers show in 30 days and then again in 60 days.

~~~~~~~~~~

This has been an all day process for me trying to make this post....I keep getting interrupted and can't seem to find the time to sit back down. I wanted to finally announce the July Giveaway Winner!! It took a little time to hear back from the winner, because she was on vacation. I didn't want to just give it to someone else and now I am so glad that I didn't.....the Winner for July is:

LOUISE Y. from Akron, Ohio!

Congratulations!

and Thanks to all that entered!

I have been so busy that I haven't thought of anything to do for August, so I think I will take a break for a month or two. It's so hard trying to keep up with all the entries and making sure that everyone gets their name in the HAT.... I have made promises that I am going to slow down the pace and this is the beginning.

Another way that I am trying to slow down is making everything that will fit and can be shipped in priority boxes from the post office. You can't imagine how much time is spent trying to find boxes to ship signs, shelves and odd shaped items in.  And the cost to do it!!! It's totally out of control...I have flat rate shipping charges and it used to work out. Nowadays, maybe  10% of the time, my flat rate covers the shipping. The fabric items work out most of the time, but 4 orders this week  cost me more than what was charged. I'm sure that everyone is running into the same problems as me, any ideas??

~~~~~~~~~~~

Well, Saturday has turned into Sunday and I'm still working on this post....before it gets any later and Sunday turns to Monday......this is the Special of the Week over at my web site.

the Gathering Room Pillow

Only $5.49 ea.
