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!

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

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,

Thursday evening....

I am back again and it's only been a few days.....we had a drippy, droopy Thursday in K-ville. I had a few errands to run and couldn't wait to get back home to sew. Did I mention that I had to buy a new sewing machine the other day? The bobbin casing on my machine got loose and sounded awful. The repairman said it would take up to 10 days to do the repairs...there is no way I could go that long without sewing, so I bought a Brother quilting machine at all places WALMART!! In all my years, I have never gone to Walmart to buy a machine, but I thought it would do in a pinch and be a back-up for me. Well, I gotta tell you...I love this little machine! It has some of neatest features and sooo many fun stitches. (Lots of stiches that my expensive machine doesn't have.) Needless to say, in between orders, I have been playing around with it, trying to figure out things that I can make and use all those nifty stitches. Right now, I'm learning how to quilt using a stipple stitch, Fun, Fun!! But, now on to what I have been doing for real..........

Here's a bit of what I have been working on lately.

Checkerboard and one of a kind cat make-do is going to the Marketplace Booth....

Who remembers these from years ago??? Be careful you might show your age. LOL!! I have made more than 50 of these in the last several weeks. Too funny! But they are kinda cute on jars....

I love how this turned out. Combined two different stencils....

and the color is wonderful...so rich.

Getting ready to post these on my web site:

Painted cardinal ornaments...would love to do a whole tree in them.

I had a few more pics to share, but blogger ate them! I'll be back soon with pictures from the Marketplace Booth, going over there in the next few days.

Thanks for stopping by and come back soon.

Hugs,

Shari

Long time gone...................

Hello All!

 It's been a while, hasn't it??? As usual, I've been busy and time just slips away from me. So many plans for the Fall, but now it's here and it's time to move on to Christmas. Didn't even decorate my house inside for Fall, just a few things outside.
Finally,  found the furniture I wanted for my living room...not primitive at all, as I have to be practical, especially with Jack and Jake. Didn't want it shredded within a few days, so decided on something similiar to what I have now. It should be all ready to be delivered in a few weeks. In the meanwhile, I need to paint the room and get the carpet cleaned. Hopefully this week!!

I can't remember how long it's been since I've posted and not sure if I have you all that I have a booth in the Antiques Marketplace in Greensboro (again). I love, love, love being there. The folks are just wonderful that own and run it. I've done VERY WELL there so far. And I'm sure I could do better if I had about five more hours in my days. I'll take pictures this week when I go and share them with you all.

The banners have done really well for me and I'll be adding new ones all this week. They are perfect for a wreath or draped across a chair.

I guess I should run for now, but before I do...this is the web site special:
