Busy weekend..

Busy...Busy. Starting Friday I went to Lori's at Not Forgotten Farm and got some new fabrics. Boy she has some beautiful ones. This is what I got arent they nice?
After that I ran a few errands and was home for the weekend. Lots of projects to do and things to get done. I was able to get the bunnies done that I will be taking to Millstone at the end of the week. If you havent had a chance to stop in you really should.
I also redid my washroom. Here are some before and after pictures.



Well back to the real world and my real JOB....I hope everyone has a great week.

After being MIA for about a year alot has happened. First and most exciting I am now peddling my primitive goods at Millstone Merchantile . The shop had its Grand Opening today and I was great. Robin has done such a great job and if your in the area (Madison Heights, Virginia)be sure and stop by. Here are a few pictures of some of the great things to be found in the shop

Dennis and I Finished the hutch. I am so happy how it turned out.
There are so many goodies....

I will keep you updated on the shop and I promise to be updating more regular. I hope that you all are well....

I finally got it.
I have been in search of a pie safe for years one that I really liked. Well yesterday was the day after years of looking I bought a pie safe that I just love. Not only is it exactly what I have looked for but I found out that there is a stamp on the back saying that it had been shipped to the Arrington Depot hear in the nelson county where I live that is no longer there,to a William S. Penn. Who knows what year but I would love to find out the history behind it. After cleaning it a little and wiping it down with some was I found a new home for her in my morning room and filled it with a few goodies.


Isnt she pretty. I would love to know when it dates back to. If any ideas let me know. Thanks for stopping by.

The Christmas rush is done....

Well the Christmas rush is over and a great holiday it was I was able to spend alot of time with friends and family Because of the predicted ice things were postponed to different days which was nice because, it was spread out over 4 days instead of one.
I wanted to share a wool aplique that I have made. I made a pattern to this Santa and hope to get it printed soon. I have a big birthday coming tomorrow and it is really bothering me the big 40 I dont know why but this one really is. Oh well getting older is better than the alternative.Hee Hee.... Happy New Years everyone 2010 is going to be a great one.

What a nice weekend. Spent most of it getting ready for a craft show next weekend and today spent the day with my daughterHayli taking pictures. We had a great time. She sure is growing up fast.

Autumn

Well I am glad to say that I am on the mend definately feeling better just not 100% yet. I finished my wool tote and wanted to share with you.
Today I started out early and you can denfinately tell the fall is here. I just love the crisp feeling of the air and driving out of my road this morning it was beautiful with the suns rays shining throught the trees.

I also wanted to let you know about a new candle scent. I am a big fan of yankee and wood wick candles. I love harvest, mccintosh, and in the woodwick I love rum raisen. Well today I went and they were not carrying the rum raisen this year but they had a new wood wick scent called Cider. So I bought one and got it home and OH MY GOSH!! It is my my favorite of all time. It is wonderful. smells up the house quickly and it is nice.

Sick, Sick, Sick and a new project

Well the last week has been MISERABLE!!!!I have been the sickest that I have ever been it started off as the flu and then went into bronchitis. After dizziness, throwing up, chills, fever, headache, body hurting all over, The cough that wont quit, sore throat, weakness and the latest addition frequent trips to the bathroom I think it may be coming to an end. No pun intended. It has been a solid week of hell. I think the meds are finally kicking in because I have started a new project today. My husband said that he knew I was really sick because I haven't stitched, punched, hooked or painted anything for a solid week. I truly did not have the energy or the want to do anything. I was tested when I went to the Dr. office for the swine flu and that was negative I suppose it was just a heck of a case of the regular flu. Oh my I would not wish this on anyone. Well enough about the creepy crud. Look at my new project. I have started making a wool tote. I thinks I am going to put a sheep on the outside pocket and I have lined it with some homespun. I will keep you posted on my progress on it. I hope everyone else is doing well.
