My new shelf from Firecracker Kid

Carol "Firecracker Kid"  and I did a swap. I had a really hard time deciding what I wanted because,

Carol and her hubby make the most awesome woodcrafts and I just want everything.

 I especially love kitchen shelves, cabinets and kitchen decor, but I don't have any wall space left.

 I decided on a shelf with a peg rack. I was going to put it in my hair salon, but decided that it was so

 beautiful that I wanted it somewhere, where I could see it everyday and enjoy it.

   And she also sent the cutest wool pin keep, it is beautiful. Thank you Carol, I love everything,

you are awesome!!!!

Giveaway!

  I am sorry that it has taken me so long to post my giveaway. I have been so busy and haven't had time

for blogging, like I wish I did. But I want to have a giveaway to celebrate you. Wow, 250 followers.

I can remember getting so excited having one follower. I just started blogging for the prim friendships,

and wow, have I ever made some awesome friends. You have been there for me through the good

times as well as the sad times, like loosing my doggy, Lilly.

   I have been pondering on what to giveaway, due to the huge cost of shipping, I usually only have

the giveaways open to US citizens. But I do have some followers from Canada also and appreciate them.

So this giveaway will be for US and Canada residents. You need to be a follower of my blog,

new followers are welcome. I would like you to leave a post on this blog only and for a second chance

you can post my giveaway to your sidebar. But please let me know if you do that. And if

you don't have a blog, give me an email address so that I can get a hold of you. I will be picking the winner,

Monday Oct. 3rd.

  The giveaway will be for one of my long bonnets, it is a cream color with tiny leaves throughout.

And a mini garden flag, it has pumpkins, gords, crows, berries and a basket. It has beautiful vibrant

fall colors, both will be perfect for your fall decor.

 This is a little way for me to let my blogger friends know how much I appreciate your friendship.

I love you all!

My first attempt at making a scarecrow and a surprise in the mail

The first of the year I bought 10 patterns from Tennessee Ridge Primitives, they have just been laying around.

I just thought I would never be able to make them. Well this is my first ever scarecrow and I am

pretty darn proud of how he turned out. He He

I also see that I now have 250 followers, it is time for me to think of what to have for a giveaway.

I will be having a 250 follower giveaway in a few days, so check back.

  I also received a cute surprise in the mail today, that sweet Cyndy, "Crafty Stitchers"   sent

me the cutest snowman ornament. I love snowmen and this ornament is soooo cute. Cyndy

is such an awesome crafter, check out her blog and a wonderful prim friend. Thanks Cyndy!!!

New goodies

Where should I sell my goodies???

I have been making some more items, but  only need so many for myself. I am not having any luck with

ebay or etsy. I have been really thinking of joining , or trying to join, one of the sites where you list items

on the 1st. or the 15th. of each month. I don't know if I would even be accepted,

 Or maybe I should just make things and try to be in a local craft show next

year.I am very pleased with all that I have made and can't believe that I actually did it, the only problem

I am having is schulpting the noses on some of the items. The patterns just say to do it and really don't

go into details, I have looked for tutorials but can't find any.

 Any info. will be appreciated. And now for the things I have made. Be honest ,what do you think.

A Pineberry Lane Pattern. Love her patterns.

My very first Make do, a Pineberry Lane Pattern

Pumpkin Jill, A Bittersweetfolk art pattern, love her patterns.

My primitive Saltbox pattern, love her patterns too.

My primitive saltbox, and of course I have to add my own touch and change things a little.

A Blue Moon Beginning pattern.

I just love the colors of fall, even the crafts.
