Tired out and it's only Tuesday!!!

Last Friday I made some barbed wire wreaths. I love this one so much I had to keep it. Friday night we got to the campground about 6pm. Ended up selling $150 worth of stuff I made out of the trunk of the car!! (Should try that more often.)

Sunday was a long day. Tina & I had our craft tent set up at Heritage Days in New Richmond. Andy was inside doing her stamp demo's. Amanda, what a great help you were. "The Wagon Girl" hauled and hauled and hauled stuff for us. Sure was glad you were there.

Aprons

Monday I got up at my usual 5am. Don't know why. Made six kids aprons by 11am. I got the material at "the barn". Where else. Washed it up first. Went to find fabric at Walmart and they discontinued there fabric section. So I got a twin flat sheet for the back. Then I started making fire starters. Thanks to Greg for the wood shavings. I finished them up this morning, 120 in all. I bagged them up in my cute bags I got. Stamped a campfire on the bag first.

Awhile ago I had gotten all these old electric insulators(barn). I took some edging(barn) made holders, rusted them, added some dodads and whola I had candle holders. Finished them this morning too.

The girls suggested I make table runners so I puttsed around with that too. I think I am done being creative for one day. I really need to get my kitchen in order. It kind of lookes like a craft lab.

Table runner, candle holders and fire starters.

Now I need to think of some projects for tommorrow when I wake up at 5am.

I'm Back !!!

I have been home all week just haven't taken the time to do my blog. Monday I worked on some horse related stuff. There is a big horse ride at the campground this Saturday. The owner said I could set up a table there if I wanted. So therfore I needed to get somethings done for that.





Tuesday I wen to Maplewood with Andy. She had a Dr. appt. and then we did some shopping. Had lunch at Chipotle. When I got home of course I had to get crafting again. Had a request for a moose that I had made from a camper at the campground so I got that cut out and painted. This is what it looks like.





Wednesday I dipped my star and heart bowl fillers to grunge them up a bit.I started that at like 6 in the morning. I also worked on a sign that a camper wants. Not done with that yet. Also made some rusty look stars and hearts.

Here are my bags of bowl fillers.

I got to thinking (that sounds like trouble). I need something to put my pens, stickers, nails, hammer, etc. in for when we go to our craft shows. I was using a zip-loc bag. How creative is that. Well, I had found this lunch pail at Gramma's Attic when we went to Little Falls a couple weeks ago. So here it is!! I thought it would make a cut purse. MMM, I do have a black one in my stash of stuff in the basement. Oh, I also have this cute little tackle box. Ideas are flying now.

How cute is this!!

Today I have to finish the moose and sign. Not sure what else the day will bring.



Have a great day. Oh by the way Tina, I got cookies from the bake sale!!!

Busy Monday

Actually it is Tuesday morning when I am writing this. We came home on Sunday early morning.

Andrea and the boys came over for awhile. I was making molasses stars and hearts when they came. Little cookies everywhere. Evan asked for a piece of paper and proceeded to write an invitation to the "Bake Sale". They had seen it on Arthur. Andrea went to " The Barn" and found some goodies.

On Monday I had to get some crafting done before going back up north today. In the mean time Ted went car shopping. So later I had to go with him to sign the papers. He traded his truch for a 2007 Chrysler Sebring. Sharp little red car.

Here are a couple pictures of things that I made. Found the patterns on line.

Stick Horse

Witch Owl and Moon door hanger

Well gotta go. Need to get ready to go back to our second home. Can't wait until Saturday when Tina and I are doing Barronett Colorfest Craft Sale. Then come Monday it will be craft, craft, craft to get ready for the 28th sale in New Richmond and Cranberry Fest on October 4th.

It's been awhile

Well I guess I should update this once in awhile. Have been busy crafting and such.

The next couple of weeks Ted is on vacation so won't get too much done then. Yesterday we had to go to Little Falls, MN. Ted's uncle passed away. We stopped at a couple cool places (can you believe Ted actually stopped!!!!!). One place was called Grandma's Attic full of old stuff mostly household but reasonably priced. Got a few goodies there. Will take pictures of finished products later. The next place we stopped at was this old barn "FULL" of GOOD JUNK. I got a roll of rusty barbed wire, some old hay rake forks, wooded spoons, a grater, and some cool metal cowboy boot things. When we got to our destination here we found the streets full of white tents. Little Falls Annual Craft Fair. Wow is all I can say. There had to be at least 700 or more crafters. We watched them pack up their wares in huge campers and motor homes. Not anything like the "green junk chick camper". One of these days I will get a digital camera and high speed Internet so I can add some pictures and such.

Way to go Packer's. 1-0
Viking's 0-1 woohoo!!
Have a great week. Heading north in the morning. 25 days til Cranberry Fest. Gonna have to cram now.

A Day for Remembering!!

Happy Birthday

Today would have been my granddaughter Mackenzie's "16th" birthday. What a beautiful thing. Her story can be found on Tina's blog page. We all miss her very much.

I also got news that my dear friend had ended her battle with cancer. She passed away this morning. Dianna we will miss you!!

I am thinking alot about my mom and dad today too as I am going through things that I brought home from their house. Miss you guys alot.

I am so privileged to be blessed with such a wonderful family. Love you all very much.

Monday Mania!!

Today was Evan and Jabins 5th birthday. I went to the party for their friends. Wow!!

The weekend was great. We brought my nephew Sam to the trailer with us. Went fishing , swimming, had a campfire, you know all the fun camping things. On Sunday we went to the "Big 5" party for Evan, Jabin, and Amaya. What a great day. My whole family was able to make it which made it really special. My sister from Waukesha even could come this time. Tons of food, fun, and of course PRESENTS!!!

I made this bag from the scraps I got at the GS on Thursday.

.

Have a great week.

Trifty Thursday!!

Here are my finds for the day. The pile of homespun was $1(don't worry Tina I'll share). The lady had one window(the one on the right) when I went to pay she said "Oh, I have another in the basement would you like that too?" No brainer there. That one she had just gotten a pane repaired and the bill on it was $14. I got them for $3. Not sure what will become of them yet, but I will think of something. I think the pail will look nice in the rocks behind the house with all the other treasures. Later today Tina and I are going on a mission to check out an idea we have. Keep you posted on that. Thanks Tina you got me hooked on here now!!

Have a great day!!
