Happy, happy weekend!

Its Sunday? Where did my weekend go? Has anyone seen it? My life has become a flash, or at least sometimes it feels that way. It is tough being a shop owner times two, and Mom. But I can't complain, I make my own life stressful by taking on to much in a given time!

That being said, even though I have not upped my inventory yet, or started getting potentially ready...

I applied to be in the Bust magazines Holiday Craftacular !

I am so excited!! We (All of us crafters) find out if we got in on Tuesday! I really hope I did! It was such a blast last year, and I met so many wonderful people! This year I have so many new items I would love to share, and I have an awesome table display up my sleeve! hehehe

Well cross your fingers for me! I would sell my left leg to go! Is that weird?

The Bust ladies know how to throw an awesome show! Oh and last year I got to meet my idol Amy Sedaris (I am also in love with her very talented brother) so it was a dream come true!

Ok, tootles folks! I am off to do some work, and maybe eat lunch. Veggie Chili is on the menu today and it is sooo yummy! Have a smashing rest of your weekend!

Cheers!

Its Wednesday my dears!

I love when it is the middle of the week and the weekend seems right around the corner. Today the weather man said is suppose to be beautiful outside! I really hope it is because I would like to get some more yard work done. Dreadfully I must say our yard is not a pretty site! The last owners did not take care of the poor thing and there is garbage, rocks, and dead spots everywhere! So with rake in hand I hope to enjoy some sun today :)

As of lately I have been obsessed with pincushions!! I have no idea why, but I am. So here is a sneak peek of some little cushions I have been working on. The one above is my favorite! It was made from some vintage screen printed linen I had stowed away. The colors are beautiful! The buttons are also vintage, and the colors amazing! I still haven't decided if I will give this one up or not :)

Below is the next cushion I made! This one is my 2nd favorite :) It is also made from vintage screen printed fabric I found at an antique store last year! It has a nautical theme with sharks, lighthouses, houses, boats and birds. The buttons are also vintage from the 1950's. I am still not sure if I am going to leave this one as is or embellish it some more? Hmmm, I guess I will have to think about it some more!

Before I head off to cleaning and laundry (yuck). I will share a cute little order I had from a sweet as can be lady from Texas! Three mini coin purses in a sushi theme! I fell in love with how adorable they came out!! Maybe the shop will have some sushi in the future :)

Have a lovely day everyone!

Happy Thursday!

Thanks goodness the week is almost over :) It has been too busy around here and I have been feeling a bit under the weather. I think I have been just running myself ragged. Lots of new opportunities for the shop, and fixing up the house has given me no free time. Not that I am complaining, but one does need a little down time here and there :) Hubby has already started dreaming of vacation. That silly boy!

Spring is almost here and I can't wait any longer! I dream about going to the garden center to get lots of flowers and trees to plant in my yard! It is going to be so exciting to have my "own" yard to plant whatever I want!!!

Above is a new pouch not yet listed in the shop..so it is kind of a sneak peek :) It will be part of the Rural Minimalist series . I really enjoy making bags for this series.

I guess I should be off. I have to finish priming my sons bedroom today , and hopefully it will be warm enough for some yard work!

Stay lovely!
