Today I made me a new kitchen curtain, my first curtain. Then it hit me today, hey I won a scarecrow shelf setter off ebay a while back and forgot that I had it, so I decided to put the shelf sitter in my enamel pan with my other fall goodies. And last is a picture of the new candle mat that I finished.My second candle mat.
This is a new pattern that I am trying, it is a little different than the other bonnets that I have made. This pattern was a little simplier for me. I like both styles of bonnets really. But I enjoyed making this one, the pattern wasn't quite as frustrating. I still need to coffee stain it.
Martha does beautiful work. I was going to display it on my door, but decided to hang it on the wall so I could see it better!!! Don't you just love it!!! Check out Martha's blog and etsy shop!! Thank-you Martha!!!
Today I received my first prize from the http://crowscreekprimitivesgatheringforum.blogspot.com/ giveaway. It is a pin keep made by Trish http://downgrannyscountryroad.blogspot.com/ ( the blog is her siister's Connie Joy), Isn't it the cutest pin keep!!! Check out her blog, she did an awesome job. I love it Trish. Thanks-You!!!!I should have taken a picture of how Trish had it packaged, she had such a cute cheesecloth tag aroung the package it is pictured beside the pinkeep.

It is hard to believe I have had my blog for 10 years. I am married to my sweetheart Ronnie for 40 years now. I have a son and daughter, a wonderful son in law and 4 wonderful grandchildren. I work two jobs. I am a full time school nurse at a wonderful country school and a part time hairdresser. I love all types of crafting. I love making primitive prairie bonnets, dolls, love wool applique, making wreaths and cross stitching.
