Easter Blessings...

I hope you all have a wonderful Easter Sunday! And have some fun also, especially if you are with family today!

I've cleaned again!!

Hi everyone! Well I managed to get another closet cleaned out so I have a bunch of stuff to get rid of again. This is mostly stuff from my painting stash so I'm not sure how much of it you all would be interested in. Again, I will sell or trade.















Vintage apron


Not sure if these are vintage or not:

Ok, that's it until I find another closet...ha!

I hope you all have a wonderful Blessed Easter weekend!! And some fun too!!

Pineapple in a cracker box

I just adore this gal!! Amy of Bumble Bee Lane was selling some things recently and I had bought an item from her. It arrived yesterday in this box! I just thought it was so funny. Ok, I guess you had to be there...lol!!



This is what I had bought from her. I just love it! Thanks so much Amy. By the way, the mailman got a kick out of the packaging also!! The pineapple on top of the beehive spool.



I put it on my shelf that has some of my other old spools and spindles.

Thanks again Amy!!

Happy Tuesday all!!

It's sunny and beautiful out today and I guess we better enjoy it. Cold and snow is forcasted for Friday!! Strange weather this year for everyone!

Nothing exciting has been going on around here. I have been good and staying away from all my fav stores. Of course not having any money to spend helps in that...lol! The Estate store was even open this past weekend and I stayed away! I could here it calling my name all weekend though..ha!! My 1 day a week, 4 hour job is going good. Gets me out anyway.

Here are a couple of pictures of 2 things that I bought from Brenda over at The Rusty Thimble. The Junkyard Cat is just the cutest thing!



Yes Amy...more pineapples..ha!


I did a trade with Judy over at prim2pink and she made me this awesome table runner. The colors look really bright in this picture but they aren't. It has the perfect prim colors in it. And she did wonderful making it. The picture doesn't do this piece justice.


I have gotten quite a few cross stitched pinkeeps done and I will be listing all these on ebay sometime today. These are all by different designers...Sandra Sullivan, Quilts by Cheri, Jenny Hoffman of Country Rustic Primitives, Stacy Nash Primitives, Lori of Notforgottenfarm.com, Shelly Auen of Primitive Stitchin, and The Stitching Parlor.




The last couple of days I have been working on candle mats. I haven't done any of these for awhile so I figured I would get some made up.

One last thing that I have, is this huge bundle of fabric that I would like to sell if anyone is interested. All different sizes, from fat quarters up to probably about 2 yards of some. A couple of pieces might have a little bit cut out of them that I probably used for backing of some pinkeeps. But there are Christmas, Halloween, florals, homespun, toiles cuts in this grouping. The pile is heavy so the best shipping option would most likely be a Priority large flat rate box which I think is around 14.95 if I remember?? I would like to get around 8.00 for the pile, so that plus the shipping charge. Just let me know. First person to respond about it gets it. Different views of the pile.







Ok, so that wraps it up for me. Hope you all have a wonderful rest of the week!!

Trade or buy?

Hi everyone! The sun is shining today but still pretty cold out. Is Spring ever going to get here?? Looks like Friday before we actually warm up and that being after the snow we are supposed to get tonight!

Amy got me in the mood to do some cleaning of some unwanted items and I thought I would post them to see if anyone was interested in a trade or you can buy if you wish.



















Thats is for now. Wednesday I have to go to the dentist and have 2 root canals done...not looking forward to that.

Have a great week everyone!

I survived my weekend, an apology and just because!

Happy Hump Day all!! Spring looks like it has disappeared for many of us. Some of you have gotten snow and ice. That is what we are looking at for the weekend and the weatherman also says that it will be a snowy end to the month of March so we will see. I'm not looking forward to it. Yesterday was so nice out but then had severe storms come through with lots of hail around the area. Lots of damage!!

I need to apologize to Carol an hubby of Firecrackerkid Primitives. I had posted a picture in my last post of the chicken nesters that I had ordered from her. Well I posted the picture showing them upside down so I have took a new picture of them the right way!! LOL! I am so sorry Carol and hubby!!



Monday was a really dreary and cloudy day and I was still recouperating (see below) when my mailman delivered a package for me. I wasn't expecting anything but this sure did brighten my day!! Tammy of A Primitive Place sent me a "just because" package. An awesome smelling candle (Cinnamon Pecan Swirl) and a little wooden box with a nest of eggs in it with berries. Thank you so much Tam!!



This past Saturday (the 19th) was my 50th birthday! Yes, a 1/2 century old!! Friday night I had a party at one of the bars here in town where my favorite band was playing. I had such an awesome time but I did drink just a tad too much. I don't do that very often at all. Most of my closest relatives and most of my very good friends joined me in celebrating. I tell ya, it was just a blast!

Here is a picture of me up on stage with the band and another girl that was having a birthday playing the cowbells while the band was playing! I'm in the black & white stripe top.


And here is a picture of my mom and me when she was getting ready to leave.
(Wow, look at that flab on my arm!! I need to do something about that)


This was the pin that I wore all evening. By the end of the night, I was at this point...ha!!


I got some awesome gifts and great cards! And on Saturday I had a flower delivery. They were from my sister, the one that lives in Alabama!!




So then on Saturday after I finally got up, we went to a craft show in Iowa. I knew ahead of time that Laurie, from my fav shop was going to have a booth there. This is what I bought from her at the show:


There were a couple more prim booths there this time then there was the last time which is good news. Here are some more goodies that I got from those booths.







Then after the craft show, since the casino's are right there, and I do mean just across the street basically, we had to go try our luck...it was my birthday after all..ha. Well, just because it was my birthday, it made no difference to the casino but we were there for quite a while playing. Sunday was a day of do nothing, a nap here and there...lol!

Ok, that's all for me today. Hope you all have a great rest of the week and weekend! If you have snow or will be getting it, be safe and warm!!

New toys, new stuff

Good Monday afternoon all!! Hope you all are doing well. Spring will be here soon and I'm so looking forward to the nice days again!

I have gotten a couple of new toys since my last post. First off is this:




It's a Dell Duo. It's a mini computer and then it also turns into a tablet! Even has an e-reader on it. Love it!!

The second thing is this and I have been faithfully using it!! No clothes hanger yet!


Last week I went to the Estate store and got the following:

I love this and Spaz likes it too....he want's food...lol!! This was only $40.00!


Here's a better pic of it without Spaz.


And I also got this crock piece


And then Saturday, I finally made it to my fav store..The Whistle Stop and got some things.



I love this old mirror. The sides fold in.



And so far so good, haven't gotten sick from being back outside!! Cough is much much better. My mom was just here and she is sick so now I have to get the Lysol out and hopefully I don't get it. I'm having my 50th birthday party on Friday and I sure don't want to be sick! Thanks mom by the way...ha!! Thanks for the well wishes everyone by the way!!

I also received my chicken nesters from Carol over at Firecrackerkid. Love her and hubby's stuff that they make!



I found the following at Goodwill awhile back and realized that I never showed them.


I love these candlestick holders. How can I tell if they are forged iron or not? I heard that if they are that they might be worth some money?? Anyone know? I wouldn't sell them anyway.


Let's see...what else?? Oh, I made me some prim rabbits to hang. Now don't laugh...lol!!



And this picture is my last group of cross stitching that I got done and all have sold already except for the little rabbit one.



Guess I need to get busy and get more made!!

Well that's all I have for now. I ordered some copper tile for my backsplash and that was just delivered and then I'm also going to get some of the granite paint that someone had posted about on their blog that they used on their countertops so I'm going to try that and then hopefully this kitchen will be done....finally!! I'll show pics whenever that might be...ha!!

Hope you all have a great week!!
