Towel crane and pictures

Hi all! It has been a dull week here again but I'm feeling much better!! Thanks for all the Get Well wishes...means a lot to me!

First thing....I have got to tell you all about my new Towel Crane! I love it! It was made by Carol and her hubby of Firecrackerkid Primitives! Make sure you visit her blog and she is also on etsy under the id of firecrackerkid. Carol and her hubby make awesome bowl racks, book shelves, rolling pin racks and just a whole bunch of other wonderful items!! Carol is a sweetheart! I don't have this up on my wall yet as I need to get that kitchen painted. I know, I have been talking about doing that for a long time now. Hey, I did get the wallpaper border off, that's a start...ha!!



I have also taken some pictures of my "so-called" Christmas decorating...ha! I am no good when it comes to putting groups of stuff together. I usually just have one thing there and one thing here and one thing way over there!!

Picture of tree during one of the few times that Spaz the cat isn't around!!







Picture of scene on top of my writing desk



A corner of a bunch of stuff. Usually the greens and berries aren't there...Spaz the cat likes to drag them off.



On top of bookcase and on wall



My sink cover that hubby made me quite a few months ago



My hutch



And the rack with my vintage Christmas aprons hanging from it



And that's it for pictures!


Short week this week. Lots of stuff to do. I hope you all have a Very Merry Christmas! Stay safe and warm and make lots of memories!!

Until next time!

It's been too long!

Hello all friends! Yes, it's been a long time since I have posted. I have been terribly sick almost all of the last 2 weeks...I'll spare the details but do want to let you know that I will NEVER EVER take an Ex-lax pill again!!

So anyway, other than being sick, nothing has really been happening here. We did get quite a bit of snow the first part of the week with blizzard conditions. Sounds like some of you have had the same weather. Been very slow on getting Christmas decorations out, I think I will just leave what I have and not add anything more. There have been no good deals at the Goodwill, but I haven't been there in 2 weeks so I'm sure I have missed all the good stuff!! I have sold all but 1 of my pinkeeps and stitcheries on eBay, so now that I'm pretty much better, I need to get busy getting more done. Probably won't work on Christmas ones anymore, Valentine's and Easter will be next. Wow...I'm thinking way too far ahead...lol!

Welcome to all my new followers! Hopefully next time I post, I will have something more exciting to write about! Have a great week everyone and stay warm!!

Heaven has a new Angel

One of my dearest friends that I have online passed away suddenly on Thanksgiving of a heart attack. I am so saddened by this loss! Linda was also our team leader our our Etsy forum "Old Farmhouse Gathering". She will be greatly missed by all. I know I miss her already.

Thanksgiving

Wishing you all a very Happy Thanksgiving! Be safe!

Veteran's Day

I just want to take this time to remember and thank all the past, present and future Veteran's!

THANK YOU & GOD BLESS YOU ALL!!

My order from Shari!!

Good Monday afternoon!! Not much has been going on around here the last week. Visited GW, nothing! I go into Omaha tomorrow for an Echo and then lunch with a friend. After that, I may go to the Salvation Army store that is in the area I will be in. I always have luck there. Just don't go very often cuz it is a bit of a drive. But since I'll be in the area...lol!!

I wanted to show you all the items that I ordered from Shari and received last week. Just click on her name to go to her site. She has some awesome stuff and it is all very well made!!

Well I hope everyone has a great week, I may be back after my visit to the thrift store with pictures!!
