but.. Taylor is attending a semi formal dance on Friday night and her and her boyfriend and another couple are coming over at 6 on Fri along with their parents to take pictures in front of our fireplace that is decorated for fall. Ill post pics of them!!!!
I haven't posted for awhile but I haven't been idle! I have a number of stitches made up. Last night I finished up on one of these and will make a few pillows of of them.
I took a spin off of My God Jar and made a few snack, dog treat and cookie jars to sell at school and my booth.
I have had request for some candle wraps to be sold separate at me booth so I made up a few this weeks. Along with a pillow and some candle mats. I have had the sampler done just didn't have it framed until last night.
Another stitched I have done. I like this one, maybe it won't sell and I'll keep this one! Mike was gone last night with his brother and nephew to buy a new motorcycle in Joplin Missouri. Taylor also spent the night in Joplin. Her and a best friend celebrated the friends birthday buy shopping all day. She came home with a pair of very holey jeans, a pair of Ugh boots and a very cute long gray sweater from Hollister. Anyway with them gone I got alot done last night.
I have had these table runners done for a few days too. I love the black. I think they will sell well at my booth. I have gone in and switched out the fall things for a few winter and Christmas items. It's going pretty good.
I have pulled down a few Christmas trees every time I come down from my craft room. I bought another pencil tree yesterday at Hobby Lobby for behind my dining rm table. Last yr. I used a lg and med. size pencil tree grouped together and didn't use my big Christmas tree. I really liked it. So I think I will try that again this yr.
Some of my little trees I place around my fireplace and here and there.
And then the mass of stuff I have collected. I try to hit a local downtown crafty store every yr the day after Christmas so the following yr. I have many new Christmas treasures to display! Its so fun to get it all out and think Oh I have this to use this yr!!! So after the pictures on Fri. I will begin to decorate. We are having Thanksgiving at my moms this yr. She just got new carpeting this week. And I will have Christmas at my house. Well I need to go to the grocery store and I want to start on some holiday signs. I will post the pics of Taylor and her friends for semi formal next weekend. Have a great week!
Hey, this is a late night post. I took a picture of a couple pillows and a matching candle hugger that I made up to take to school today. I literaly sold them before I got them to the break room. It was actually the second sleigh bells pillow I had sold. I sold the first one in the parking lot to a teacher before getting into the building. So I made another one along with the Santa pillow and sold them today along with a matching candle. I have two more orders to get done before Monday. I'm hoping for 4 pillows made before Mon. I'm out of muslin and need to get to Hobby Lobby tomorrow( guess that would be today now) Just picked up the daughter and her boyfriend and took the boyfriend home. My house looks so pretty with only the Christmas lights on! Well Ill try to post the pics of what I get done this weekend. Need to finish up my shopping on Sat. just a few last minute things to get.
