Towel Giveaway

Thought I would give away a couple kitchen towels if anyone is interested. Just tell me a little about yourself in the comment section. I will pick on Saturday, Nov. 1st.

Going to help with yard work today. Kind of windy and cold. At least it's not snowing.

Give away towels

Have a great day.

Holiday Bootique

Thursday I went to Tina's house and we got our crafty stuff out of the camper. Wow were our cars full!! We then met Andy for lunch in Amery. Went to Village Pizzaria for lunch (yum yum pizza and salad bar). From there we went to Bittersweet Farms. I had never been there before. From there we went to Andy's house and hung out for awhile before we went to set up for our holiday bootique. We got all set up in Amy's garage.

Our space. "The Shed" (Evan called it that.)

Friday and Saturday we spent hanging out at the sale. Tina picked me up at 6:30 am on Saturday to go to the "barn". It was "ten cent" day there. Everything is ten cents. What a bunch of crazy people. After that we went to the bootique. It wasn't too busy in the afternoon, so Tina and I went to Star Prairie and checked out The Starr Fish Boutique. It is a new little shop with shabby chic goods. Very cute and inexpensive. We picked up a couple of cute ideas there. When we got back the rest of the girls took the little ones trick or treating in Amery. We then packed up. At least now Tina and I have our own stuff. We were exhausted, but had a good time.



Tina with a customer.


Andy at her booth. Like her "rack"!!

I had fun hangin' out with the girls.

Have a great week. Happy crafting!

HaPpY TuEsDaY!?!?!


Well have I been busy or what. I painted my computer/sewing room. It was a lite shade of green /stamped colorful dragon flys on it. It needed a good organizing anyway.

Not a very good picture, but you get the idea.

Now it is a lovely shade of autumn brown and a dark shade of beige (added some of the brown to country white paint I had). I added some wall decorations and a few treasures I have of my mother's to the walls.

Made some curtains out of sheets and some remnant yard goods from "the barn". I wanted to hide the shelves so I made a curtain for them also.

The dress and dress form was my mother's.

You can see her wearing it in the picture below.

I am the cute one standing in front of her. I was not quite five yet. She made all of our dresses.


Added the "Junk Chicks" picture and the room is complete.

Like the old paper cutter and hole puncher!!

Today I cleaned out my closet in the extra bedroom. Even color coordinated my clothes!! I also organized my closet in the kitchen. MMMM.... think I should find a job or something. I keep finding all these things to do. No telling what I will come up with tomorrow.

Have a good night.

Where did the week go???

Can hardly believe it is Thursday already. I actually did get a lot done. I cleaned the entryway, leaves everywhere that get blown in. I worked in the garage and decided to paint the garage door on the inside. It is now a chocolate brown instead of dirty white. I'd like to get the walls painted in there too. Mmmmm it doesn't matter what color I paint as long as it is white. I was thinking maybe some wild color. I did do something cool in the entryway. As you can see in the pictures below I redecorated the walls.
I had the wagon wheel outside in the backyard.
(rescued from the farm)
Thought it would look better hanging on the wall!
Fork came out of the shed.
All these old pans came from my mother's shed.
The bird nest was found in the hay field by my brother.
The chair and bushel basket that the flowers are in came from the shed also.
Here are the crafty things I did yesterday.

The snowman is a light box.

I need to add something to the tree shutter but not sure what.

Anyone have any ideas (Tina).

That's all for now.

Everyone have a good weekend.

Weekend Pictures

My neighbor Giselle sent me these photos. As you can see a good time was had by all.
Amaya dancing with her lion.

Me and my "Packer" rain poncho.

Ted, Dave(The Gorton's Fisherman!) and Brad in the background.

Me, Dave, Brad, and Jetta by the campfire.

Thanks Giselle for the pictures. It was a great time.

Oops, I forgot "What happens on this side of the creek, stays on this side of the creek!"

Tomorrow I will post pictures of what I made today. I was going to do yard work but it was too windy again to rake.

Goodnight all.

Takin it easy today.

Kind of takin' it easy today. Made three more gingerbread boys today. They would be really cute as a family.



This one is in a corduroy bag and a tag that says "gingerbread blessings".

Made these shutters I saw on line. Used some scraps and whola.

Smells like Thanksgiving here today. I have a turkey breast cooking in the crockpot. Missing the squash though and am too lazy to go to the store. I was going to rake today, but not sure what to do with the leaves.

Can you believe it. I updated this two days in a row. Have a great rest of the week.

Crafted after all!


I whipped up this little gingerbread man tonight. I got the material with another project. Another cheap find. This dark brown and also a lighter color for $2 at a junk store.


The bowl he is in I got at the "barn" for a quarter. Painted it and added a star.
