a few new and old things........

I fully intended to get back here yesterday, but we had such a nice time doing errands that I just didn't have a chance. Among other places we went to JoAnn's and Michael's where I ran into two old friends. We had some catching up to do and I really enjoyed our visit. I feel so blessed to be able to stay home and do what I love, but sometimes I do miss getting out and seeing people.....

Here are some more things that I was working on Sat......

Bird Makedo...

He turned out so grungy and prim. Perfect for a shelf.....

Jumbo, grungy carrots....

Love, love, love these. Wouldn't they be great on your table in an old bowl??

Grungy, crazy quilt patchwork mats....

I use these as mini quilts and candle mats as well.

I have almost finished a new Raggedy type doll. I can't wait to show it to y'all. I have actually used a pattern. And she has hair!!!

busy, busy, busy..........

Am I the only one who feels like time is flying by??? Is it my age or what??? Another week has gone by and I've hardly had time to peek at blogs and it's been almost a week since I have posted.

All week long I had intended to post about the Spring Open House at Pilot Mountain Peddlers. It started yesterday at 4:00 and I guess it goes on through today at close. I took a load of goodies up there yesterday...the first time I had been there since late January.

 With the weather and just being busy, I haven't had much of a chance to get there. I have come up with a good plan, however.....when I make something for my web site or an order, I make at least two now! That way, I have "extra stuff" made up at any given time. I should have been doing this all along, but just didn't.

Here's a couple of my favorites for this week......

Old quilt top bunny....

Painted bunny on spindle....

Small shelf to sit or hang...

Think I'll put this on Etsy as a gathering....

Changed this up a bit and added it to my web site....

I love these grungy calico carrots....

~~~~~~~~~~

These are some of the orders for this week....

Gotta run for now......

Shari

Warm and Sunny Sunday......

It was a beautiful, Spring-like day in the piedmont section of North Carolina on this first Sunday of March. I didn't feel much like going out, but it is supposed to be nice again tomorrow. Maybe I can work in the garage, before the rains come in on Tuesday.
I had several projects that I wanted to finish up this weekend, but that didn't happen...maybe some time this week, if it stays warm. I can't tolerate the cold temps in my older years. LOL!! Thinkin' maybe I should move to a warmer climate.....

~~~~~~~~~~

I never got around to posting last weeks web site special because of all the computer problems that I was having. So I wanted to make sure that I got this done, even if the rest had to wait. It has worked really well today, no cutoffs, no re-boots, no lock-ups....UNTIL I started blogging! Grrrr!! Makes me so angry! And of course it won't do it when Bill can see the error message. But, anyway, here I am and hope to at least post a few pictures.

~~~~~~~~~~~

Only $9.49 ea.

Web site orders....

Prim Angels......

Two more......

S/O Prim Cat.....

Star Chalkboard.......

Prim Eme Lou's.....

Blogger is acting up again.....post more later...

For the folks that asked about the kittys....nothing real serious. Jake had a gunky eye one evening and then the next day, he had like a swollen lymp node. As for Jackson, he's had the sneezies for a while. I joke that I think he's allergic to me! I called the vet and they actually know Jake by name...how funny is that. They kinda make fun of me, because I am so paranoid about them being sick. I made Bill take him this time...the last couple of visits I have been there with him, (they told me), he was just real laid back and the last time, he's just lazy. This visit, the vet prescribed antibiotics for both. It smells like bananas and they both like it . The receptionist described it as the most expensive hair conditioner on the market....I asked why?? She said most of it usually ends up in your hair. Ha ha!

Well, I have been trying to finish this up for awhile now, so maybe I can get it to work! Fingers crossed!

Thanks for all the entries today for the March Giveaway!

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.

Beautiful Saturday!!!

Hello all!

I am happy to report that it's a beautiful, sunny day in K-ville! I have spent this morning working on a few orders, but I think I'm going to take a break and run out for a few minutes. It's too nice to stay in all day.

~~~~~~~~~~

If anyone is remotely interested in any of the books and patterns from the last batch, please make an offer! I have found tons more!

~~~~~~~~~~

I had a really busy week, but I don't feel like I accomplished a whole lot. I went with my Mom and Dad on Wednesday to Burlington for a minor procedure. I got up at around 4:00 to make sure I was on time. We had to be there by 8:00. It's about 45 minutes to my Mom's and then an hour or so to the clinic where Dad goes to the Dr. It actually went well, but he is still rather uncomfortable today. I almost have to wonder if it wasn't too much for him. We go back on Monday for follow-up. 

~~~~~~~~~~

I have worked on several new things this week....... and have added a few new things to my Etsy store. I am hoping to update often, so keep checking there

http://www.etsy.com/shop/primitivesbyshari

for new things as well as my web site.

Web Site Special..............

HAPPY SUNDAY Y'ALL!

Another beautiful day for us in NC....no rain or snow. We actually cooked out on the grill today. Hubby made sirloin kabobs with peppers and onions, one of my favorites. It has been ages since it has been nice enough to be outside cooking.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hubby was busy today, mainly doing stuff for me....he also worked on my computer almost all day. It has been sick for weeks.  Hopefully, the problem is now resolved. It is no FUN when you can't do what you need to and have to worry about it dying in the middle of something. It seems to be working great this evening! Keeping my fingers crossed!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I worked on a new checkerboard and got it on my web site and piddled around with a few things for orders and some things for Spring. My heart just wasn't in it today, so I made my list for tomorrow and will play catch-up then.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This week's web site special is this wonderful little Prairie Dress!!

Only $7.99 for a limited time!
