A Giveaway for the Decorative Artist!

I finally finished up my Fall goodies! I pulled out my Christmas fabric and wrote down my list of necessities to complete the ones I want. Even though I take care of our handicapped daughter (she'll soon be 28), I'm fortunate enough to have the time and ease to play with my crafts. I've always said it's my 'therapy' as some of you may know how draining it is to be a 24/7 Caregiver. So here are my latest creations.

 Mr. Snoozles! This guy is approx. 36" tall! Pattern is adapted from THE OLDE COUNTRY CUPBOARD.

 Bo Bo the kitty! Made from a pattern by THE GOODE WIFE.

 This is Ulysees the Raven. He's from a pattern by SOFT IN THE HEAD.

And a little Fall Table Décor. The tag is from EWE N ME PRINTABLES on Etsy.

I LOVE all of the wonderful 'cyber' friends I've made! One of them is a SUPER talented lady by the name of Karen Strubel. Karen is a wonderful decorative artist. She was selling some of her 'overstock' in an Etsy shop that she had. I got a lot of great things from her. She now has a shop called Karen's Painted Pieces. Anyway, over the last year or 2 she's asked me to cut her some wood. We did a swap this last time and she sent me some of her painting packets. She sent me enough that I can share 3 SETS of 7 packets. SO, here are the photos of the packets!

There is no wood cut with these, however, CABIN CRAFTERS sells her pattern packets and some cut outs. And I know some of you cut wood as I do.

To enter this Giveaway, just leave me a comment with a way to get in touch with you. That's it! I'll announce a winner next Wednesday, SEPT. 17th....well, now that's one of my daughter's birthdays!
This Giveaway is open to EVERYONE, EVERYWHERE!

Thanks for stopping by and stay tuned!

Feeling Some Fall!

Well, I seem to have regained my breath back! Taking a break is always restorative, and although I would've loved to have sat around this past week, I was busy carting our handicapped daughter to her doc appointments.

I forgot to share with you my Giveaway win from Barb of Barb's Heartstrokes! 

This is wonderful! Barb's work is FANTASTIC and I really love the rustic frame! I've had SO much fun getting to know Barb and have actually talked with her on the phone! I think she thought she was talking to a cast member of Hee Haw!! Yep, I've that country 'twang' down pat!!

The last of my Halloween has been finished. I have a doll I'm working on today but she'll be the last thing I list. I've got Turkeys and Christmas on my mind now!!

 This is Boo Boo Kitty and her Pumpkin Patch! She's from a pattern by Kim over at ORP!

This is Bo Bo! He's from a pattern by Stacey Mead of the Goode Wife of Washington County!

I'm stuffing the last of my Pumpkins and some meeces to go with them. Think I might surprise a few family members with a little something!

We're finally feeling a drop in the temps down here in our part of Florida. Nice to be in the low 80's and feel the Fall breezes start to blow in! 

My FB Giveaway is still going on and so is our OFG TEAM'S FALL FROLIC!! Links are on my right side bar. I've also got my FALL15 coupon active in my Etsy shop for 15% off everything! Just click on my shop tab on my right side bar!

Stay tuned!

Good things Holiday-ish coming soon!!

Future Projects

I'm so excited! I'm working on Halloween! My FAVORITE season of all!

I've bought some wonderful patterns and wanted to show you what my future projects will be!

 LOVE Pam Gracia from SOFT IN THE HEAD! Those Froggettes are ADORABLE!

Another favorite pattern maker of mine is Stacey from THE GOODE WIFE OF WASHINGTON COUNTY!

I've also got my material together for a certain 'unfinished Witch'. I'm hoping her colorful clothing will change her attitude! 

I've cut out 3 of the 13" dolls from this pattern by SWEET MEADOWS FARM and will be putting their faces together in the next few days. Wish me luck....I'd hate for them to have an attitude problem, too.

I've deactivated most of my stock in my Etsy shop. No custom orders right now. I'm finishing up an Americana piece for our OFG challenge. I'll be able to show you next week.

School is almost out, YIPPEE! Not a whole lot planned for the summer but I'm sure a Beach vacation will be in there somewhere!

Stay safe in these storms! Hurricane season is upon us, too! Sure hoping for some wet weather. This drought has taken it's toll on our Lake.

Stay tuned for my Summer Giveaway this next week!
