The Simple Woman's Daybook

I keep forgetting about doing this on Mondays. Just thought of it and decided to do it. My second post of the day, but oh well..................

FOR TODAY January 12th, 2009...

Outside My Window I see my neighbors Collie dogs...

I am thinking today has ben a very productive for me...

I am thankful for being able to stay at home and do this web site and blog ...

From the kitchen the dirty dishes are calling out to me...

I am wearing dark denim jeans, red turtleneck and 3/4 sleeve jean jacket...

I am creating pillows, signs and dolls...

I am going to finish cleaning in my craft room...

I am reading absolutely nothing this week. I bought a Country Accents magazine, but haven't looked at it yet...

I am hoping for the economy to get better, lots of folks in NC without jobs...

I am hearing the TV, dogs barking and coffee brewing...

Around the house I'm slowly getting each room decorated...

One of my favorite things my new little table bench, I have wanted one for weeks and finally got around to making me one...

A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week: Continue working on orders, adding new goodies to the web site and working on my craft room.

Here is picture thought I am sharing...

Until next time.

My breakfast nook table setting..................

My table bench on my breakfast room table. Today, I painted the rustic brown coffee pot a nice black satin finish. I filled the pot with tapestry colored pip berries and added a rusty star cookie cutter on the handle. The mini homespun quilt is one I made a few weeks back. The yo-yo quilt I made years and years ago. The shaker box, candleholder and the grungy heart were in other locations throughout my house. I love the way this looks all grouped together. Now all I need is a new light over my table. Wonder if you could get black spray paint to stay on brass???

I also made the cutest sheep bowl fillers today. Hopefully, they'll be on my web site later. I have a feeling these will be a big hit. You get 5 to a set and they are so prim and grungy.....

A few more things to do and I'll be done for the day.

Until next time.

Hugs,

All finished .................

Hey Y'all!

A few things that I started yesterday and finished up today.

By special request............

Perfect to hang on a peg or hook. Scented with cinnabun oil...

Perfect for your kitchen table! I'll post pics of mine tomorrow.

Special request for a special customer.

More to come tomorrow!

Still looking for Valentine's Day sayings.

Until next time.

Hugs,

Shari

Busy All Day.........

Hi, Prim Pals!
Today, turned out to be a very busy Saturday for me. I finished up the last of my "OLD" orders and that is a huge relief! Worked on a few special requests and got those finished as well. I seem to be on a roll, so I started a few more projects. Tomorrow should be interesting....I'll try to post some pics of what I'm working on.

Lately, I have been having a few computer issues with software and I couldn't "develope" my pictures. Bill spent the better part of 1/2 a day trying to get it repaired. Finally, he figured out that it was the card in my camera. Put a new one in, reformatted it....and it works like a charm! Yipee! I was having to reboot my computer everytime I wanted to upload pictures. So now I can post more pictures and add new goodies to my web site.

Another thing this evening....Maybe, someone here can help me out....I am actually on the hunt for something. It's Valentine's sayings or quotes that I could stitch for pillow tops or hearts. It can't be too long, but I would like it to say something special. Personally, I'm doing one for me by Robert Browning....

Grow old with me,

The best is yet to be

I think this is very appropriate for folks who have been together as long as Bill and I have been. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. AND, if I use your idea, I will give you credit for it.

And speaking of appreciation.....I would love for some of you NC folks to comment or sign the guestbook at the bottom of this page and let me know who you are. I would like to thank you personally for stopping by to visit. And besides I think it would just be fun to chit chat.

Until next time.

Hugs,

Shari

Shari's Friday Favorites

I am going to start posting my Friday Favorites again.....this week it's my fireplace hearth. It's been filled with lots of my favorites. I have put my kneeling bench ( the one my dad made) here along with a wire basket filled with almost perfect pinecones, a sheep pillow, a candleholder, 2 old pieces of pottery and a couple of pieces of treenware. It truly is one of my Favorites!

Until next time.

Hugs,

Shari

Mini Update~1-11-08

The craft mall repairs are not moving as quickly as they originally thought they would. So, they won't be re-open until later in February.

XXXXX


We're hoping the craft mall in Walnut Cove will be re-opening February 1st. Kathy says that is the target date and things are moving right along. She is planning a Grand Opening with TV and newspaper ads.
I'll be back later.....
Hugs,
Shari

Wednesday Already????????????????

Hey Prim Pals!

Where has this week gone? I haven't accomplished nearly enough this week. Today, I finished up a bunch of orders and got them shipped, which was major for me. And then I had to make a quick run to Hobby Lobby in High Point to pick up a few things. Couldn't believe the weather! Almost blew me off the road. And rain, and rain and more rain! But, on the way home I saw this wonderful double rainbow! It was so fabulous! Wish I would've had my camera.

Wanted to tell you guys about my new candles that I picked up the other day. They'll be on my web site soon along with the candle tarts.
These are 100% soy wax, non toxic, lead free, and hand poured. There's no Carcinogens and no Harmful Dyes. 0% dependence on foreign Oil! They are all this fabulous creamy color with the matte finish lids. So far I have 3 fabulous scents to go along with my room sprays.

Cinnabun

Apple Jack and Peel

Magnificent Mulberry

I have the tarts in Cinnabun scent. They smell good enough to eat! Actually, the other day I had to stop at a Fast Food restaurant, cause I got so hungry smelling these fabulous candles in my car! More scents will be coming soon.

That's all for this cold, rainy, windy Wednesday evening!

Until next time.

Hugs,

Shari
