3 New Patterns Now Available!

For the past 3 weeks I have been dealing with a pain in my back! It would just come and go as it pleased and some days I found myself pushing to get things done! Well... today I think the doctor has figured out what my problem is! I'm getting older! LOL Along with that I was working real hard helping Jeff finish up a HUGE wholesale order of 180 wood appliance covers... yes! You read that right!!!!! 180 pieces that needed my special sanding technique applied! As Jeff would complete 20 or 30 at a time I would use the sander .................guess what it did to me after a week or two of evening sanding! Pulled the rhomboid muscle in my upper back! Not a fun thing! Just glad we found out what the problem is and I have a good excuse to take it easy! But....... not for long because these appliance covers are sitting in my garage, which by the way looks like a mini warehouse, waiting to be painted! I will post some pictures below! So yesterday I started working on patterns because typing at the computer is easy on the back! Finished up these 3 patterns which can be purchased right here on my side bar or at The Prim Pattern site or Crafty Avenue! The first one is A new Prim Pillow Pocket for Winter of a snowman holding a star overhead and the saying "Warm Winter Wishes"!

Next we have another Prim Pillow Pocket of a Pot of Penny Flowers!

4 different designs for Winter Time Ornaments! Two with stitched words which read "Warm Winter Wishes" and "Let it Snow", one with an appliqued snowman head and a mini snowman!

Now for the mini warehouse pictures! These are double stacked and we have 2 slice toaster covers, 4 slice toaster covers, toaster oven covers, Kitchen Aide mixer covers, coffee maker covers and some bread boxes! All waiting for me to paint! WOW.... my back hurts! LOL Take note to the Sweet Annie strung across the garage............I hung that clothesline myself which wasn't an easy chore.... if I recall I twisted my back a bit when trying to do that a couple of weeks ago!

Lititz Craft Show Pictures

It was a perfect day for a show up until 3:40pm and then it started to rain! Lots of happy shoppers were out in the morning and well into the afternoon! Too bad we had to end it so abruptly with only 20 minutes to go! I was able to meet a couple more online friends which was real nice! I wanted to show these cupboards before I left for the show but was too busy to take the pictures so here they are in the booth! Jeff did a fine job making these using old 3 pane windows as the doors. One in New England red.....
One in Olde Ivory....
One in Mustard....
I usually don't get a good shot of the whole booth because we are still setting things up when the crowd begins but we got started by 5:00am and were done in good time this year!

This is what we were dealing with at 4:15.....Can you see the water running down the side of the curb?!?!? And this was a low point! Not fun standing in water up to your ankles with the thunder roaring! At one point these totes were floating! Luckily the wind did not pick up and destroy the tents! Despite the unhappy ending we had a great show and good time.

Craft Show Pictures

Pictures from the show on Saturday in Caledonia State Park! It was a rain free day with just a touch of humidity and lots of sunshine! The crowd was down a little from last year which wasn't a good thing for the afternoon hours but I had a nice relaxing day once we were all set up! I had 3 of my sisters and a niece with me so we had a great visit! I now know what I need to work on for the next show which is the Lititz Rotary Club in Lititz, PA! Here a few pictures I took of my wares!Love this window standing cupboard my hubsand made!

2 weeks until the Caledonia State Park Craft Show...

Happy Summer everyone!!!
The Caledonia State Park Craft Show will be held July 9th in Fayetteville, PA! I still have lots to finish up but just had to share this primitive display piece my hubby helped me build for my new blackened beeswax ornies! I had this piece of old picket fence and Jeff made a box with some old cedar pieces and put dividers in it so I can line the bagged ornies up. Great way to keep them all organized in one place and have the samples hanging for all to see!

Have a great day!!!!! I'm back to work!

New Summer items!

Good morning my blogging friends! I'm busy creating inventory for my first show which will be Saturday, July 9th at Caledonia State Park in Fayetteville, PA! Here are two new "treasures" I've been working on using a pattern by Kentucky Primitives! Love the little mice and watermelon's for Summer decorating! Check out the "Swingin' cats wool tweed pants and his little friend with the hanky scarf! And how about those little watermelon floats with 3 of the sweetest little mice hitching a ride! I did make one extra of each of these to add to my Etsy shop for my online friends! The watermelon float will not be added until tomorrow because I see I forgot to add their banner.......we can't have a missing piece can we?!?!


Last but not the least I will be posting this "Patriotic Mouse" in a stocking on Saturday, June 4th! This is a very special piece for me because my mom and I designed it and created it together! The pattern was featured in the Mercantile Gathering Summer 2011 issue which makes it even more special! Plus.... I have entered it in the OFG Flag Day Challenge which will begin Saturday, June 4th so be sure to stop by the OFG blog and place a vote!
Until next time..............Have a great day!
