Americana!

Just in time for all the election hoop-la ...I finished another Americana pillow.  Have 2 more Americana items in the works...another pillow and a door hanger!  Stay tuned!



New Tomorrow


Tomorrow starts a special  treasury that will be promoting new spring items from members of the Old Farmhouse Gathering Etsy Team.  I will be listing four new items tomorrow for this treasury from my shop. (Sorry - no peeking).  Just go to the ETSY site - or you can go to my shop and search STWOFG to see the items.  There should be some really amazing items - because this is a really talented group of artists!  The treasury will last one week!  Enjoy SPRING!!!!!

I NEVER THOUGHT ABOUT THIS...


We have been working on our backyard for the spring.  Removing all the old and dead shrubs.  You know...the typical landscaping.  Last night, our local news had a story about a family pet that was poisoned by a common ornamental plant - the Sago Palm.  These are sold in nurseries all over the country - with very few of them labeled poisonous to pets and toddlers.  I never really thought about this - as I have never seen these warning signs on any of the labels.  Now - I will!

Cheep! Cheep!  Welcome Spring!!!
These can be sold individually or (discounted) as a group..message me for info

PROGRESS! PROGRESS! PROGRESS!


I'll be stuffing pillows 'til the cows come in...or until I run out of stuffing!



What an adventure!

Today a friend and I decided to go to a wonderful fabric store that is about an hour away.  This adventure has been planned for a week. All systems were a go - until last night ...the dryer broke.(My son is coming home from college tomorrow - HE WILL HAVE LAUNDRY!)  Called repairman - they can see us tomorrow ! (Yay!)Then my daughter took the wrong medicine - AHHH - Called the nurse - Not to worry - she just may get sleepy in school. (Whew!!!) Finally on my way to my friends house...saw that freeway was at a standstill and there was a detour to her house.  Finally got there.  Took the back roads...finally on our way.  Directions were misread...we ended up accidentally  taking the scenic route.  Small towns are really so quaint! (A 45 minute drive took us 1 1/4 hours).  We FINALLY made it!  SO WORTH IT!!!!!



Now I am motivated to finish all the projects I have started and start some new ones!

Now all I need is some spare time!!!
Thanks for coming on this adventure with me today Carmen!!!!!

Have a fantastic afternoon!!!!!!

Progress is Underway!!!!

Well, I have been working on my Spring Challenge!  So much to do - and more roadblocks appear!  Our master bath renovation is starting and I need to shop for "the perfect" tub, sinks, and fixtures!  Sounds simple - but I have waited 5 years for this - NO SETTLING!

New fundraiser for my son - need to complete another project by April!  Then there is the gardening, car maintenance, house cleaning - YUCK!  I'd rather be sewing!

ANYWAY...Here is my update...
FOUR IN PROGRESS...


TWO COMPLETED...






  


ONE LISTED!!!!!!



Have a fantastic day!!!!!
