Friday's Table

It finally got cold here!
Storm clouds threatened our drought-driven area yesterday morning. I thought we'd get a drenching rain but all it did was spit on us :/ We're getting desperate here for rain. The lake levels are the lowest I've ever seen and I've been around this lake all of my life.
Our temps dipped into the low 40's.....not as cold as anticipated but at least that 80 degree weather is gone. Honestly, our summers are so hot and come on so quickly that the LAST thing we need is 80 degrees in January! 
My son shared this photo with me yesterday.
 Well, let's just say I'm glad I'm here in Florida!
**************
My table is full of fun and fluff. I've completed my sewing on a few dolls, bunnies on sticks (spools, actually), meeces of all sizes, and a few other goodies. 
I have so much fun sewing but I'm SO SLOW making these items. I DARE not 'make them to order'!
I've been purchasing some patterns from Samantha Flanders and The Olde Country Cupboard, Old Road Primitives, and Soft in the Head. (The ones from Pam haven't come yet).

These gals have been having pattern sales; buy one get one free! Click on the links as I think some are still going on. I bought the large wooden Bunny pattern from Crystal at Twiddlebugz and have a fun Easter Giveaway planned for him. Shipping has once again gone up and I'll have to limit my Giveaways a bit :/
Hope your January is progressing at a good pace and you're staying healthy. I hear the flu is out to get us all but I'm crossing my fingers that we'll avoid it. 
Stay Tuned!

Mother's Day Giveaway WINNER!

Good morning Blogging Friends!!
What a beautiful day to wake up to but then again I think most days are! Every-once-in-a-while I'll get up on the 'wrong' side of the bed and wish it wasn't morning. I'm sure we've all had those kinds of days. It's already 70 degrees here at 8:00 a.m. with a promise to reach 91 degrees. I'm already 'hot' thanks to age- related drama so the high temps aren't necessary, however, obviously beyond my control. So, I sit with AC and fans running........on HIGH!!
I finished up my Watermelon Slices yesterday...........
.............and my last Teacher's Apple..........
Both can be found in my Etsy shop (look on my right sidebar).
I've got a WINNER for my Mother's Day Giveaway!
CONGRATULATIONS
to CAROL, The Firecracker Kid!!

I need to go and find some more Giveaways to enter. I just won an Angel Doll from Cyndy of Crafty Stitchers the other day from her FB page and I can't wait until it arrives! Of course I'll share a photo or two with you!!
My sewing machine is out today and I'm finishing up some of my own dolls. Can't wait to show you these primsy little girls of mine!!
Hoping your day is filled with glorious sunshine and rainbows!
