A Memorable Day!

Good morning Blogging Friends!

Another beautiful day to be had on our Lake this morning. 

We spent a memorable day yesterday with some good friends that we haven't had time to be with in a while. I LOVE having the kind of company that just comes and pitches in! Makes the day that much more enjoyable since I didn't have to spend my time 'entertaining' and doing for others.

I have a WINNER announced on my FB page for my Mystery Giveaway. A LOT of guesses for an angel, one for a rooster, a bunny, and some flying pigs! Here's what it turned out to be!

Super cute Market Piggy from a Pattern by Kentucky Primitives that I bought from Pattern Mart.

I've also been 'nodding' off a bit. No, not the kind of nodding that 'face plants' you in your paint palette! This is the kind of  'nodding' I'm referring to!

My first Nodder! Yep! I got the sunflower pattern from Tawny Bell over  at The Primitive Nook and the crow pattern from Threadbare Primitives. I bought the old Rusted bed spring from the Overstock group on FB. The digital tag was purchased from Deena at Ewe-n- Me Printables. She's also on Etsy HERE.

I'm winding down by finishing up the Teacher Blocks. Got one more order over the weekend for one and need to finish my kid's teachers gifts. After that I'm quieting down (on Etsy) for the Summer. The kids will be out of school and I don't want to spend all of my time sitting at the computer and worrying about shipping and orders getting out. PLUS, I just need a break!!

Hope you're able to wind down and enjoy your summer, too. I'll still be crafting....I'll ALWAYS be crafting!

Stay Tuned for my Summer Giveaway here on my blog!

Halloween WIPs

Good morning Blogging Friends!

I'm quite pleased with myself this a.m.! I'm sitting here typing to you with a smile on my face 'cause the last of my Halloween is being completed! 

I ACTUALLY finished everything that I had planned and even a bit more for the October Festivities!!

These 2 'beauties' (pattern from MY PRIMITIVE SALTBOX) need their hats, a spider, and a spooky tag!

That's a Halloween wooden Witch doll made with wire and a pretty dress and 2 Pocketfuls waiting for the rest of their embellishments!

I've LOVED making these guys (pattern adapted from OLD ROAD PRIMITIVES)! The one on the left is in my Etsy store but the one on the table is for a Swap...sssssshhhhhhhh....don't say anything as someone might be peeking!

Another Scarecrow, some apples from THE PRIMITIVE NOOK, and the last witch head that will be a full fledged Doll....Broom and cat included!

And last of all to finish are my arms and legs.

No, not my PERSONAL arms and legs but these....

I HATE stuffing these skinny things and I save them until the last minute!

DON'T FORGET about my current GIVEAWAY HERE!

As Always,

STAY TUNED!

Summer GIVEAWAY!!

Good Monday morning Dear Blogging Friends!

I've come back from the Dead! Not fully 100% but getting there a little bit everyday. Doc said to expect at least 6 weeks for full recovery....yes, I was THAT sick!

I have a GIVEAWAY for you!! I sure hope you like it as much as I do! I had so much fun putting this together!

I used a new pattern that I bought from Tawny at The Primitive Nook.

Now, mind you, mine is a bit different from hers. You KNOW that's going to happen with me. Don't you do it too? Change up a few things different? Sure you do! We all have a slightly different aesthetic and that's what makes the world go round!

Here's mine!

 You can see I made my 'bag' different. Tawny's was a lot of work so I simplified. Yeh, I know I'm lazy but I do like the blue homespun! One of my favorite color combinations is blue and yellow so this worked out perfectly for me. It's approx.15" tall by 8" wide

 I have 2 more in the works for my Etsy shop and so I thought I'd share this one with you. Want it?!

Then play my Game!

You know my rules!

1. Follow me...everything is alright, I'll be the one to tuck you in at night, and if you want to leave I can guarantee you won't find nobody else like me!! Gotta love Uncle Kracker!!!!

2. Leave me a comment here on this post and tell me whatchadoing for Summer!

If 2 chances are not enough then......

3. Go like me on Face Book

AND

4. Tell me how much you'd sell this for!

(Tell me all in one comment please.Open to US and Canadian friends!)

There you go. Let's run this until the 23rd of June. Sound good?

GREAT!!

Hope your Summer is getting off to a great start! Stay cool 'cause it's gonna be a HOT one!!
