New bunny and a questions

YAY! Its February!!
This winter has gone by pretty quick in my world but now it seems to be dragging!

I wanted to post my newest bunny I finished yesterday.

Meet Harold, this is Hayleys hubby


He is a little mad at me right now because I forgot to take him to my booth last night and hes worried that by the time he gets there Hayley will be gone. :)

For my question......

I am looking for some sort of PRIMITIVE self inking stamp (custom) or sticker label that I can put on the back of price tags. I had an incident last night when I went to get my check and someone had re-wrote MY TAG on a doll I had in my booth. Not only did they re-write MY tag, but they priced it for 1/2 off. The doll sold for this 1/2 off price and theres pretty much nothing I can do about it. ONLY vendors have these tags as we buy them from the shop owner.......isnt that funny???

So Im out the money which isnt fair to me by any means!

Ive been looking on ebay and etsy all morning and Im not exactly sure what I want so I was hoping someone here would have some ideas as what to do??

The beginning of a re-do!

A few weeks ago I picked up this corner cabinet off of CL for $75. It is VERY well constructed. A young guy made it a few years ago in shop class and he did a great job. As soon as I saw it I knew it had great primitive potential.

I was able to finish the top half last night. It has FOUR coats of black paint, I almost died when I figured out it was going to need that much. I left the inside of the shelves black and the outside....well you ll have to just wait to see it completed.

I got 2 coats of black on the bottom half today.....2 more to go!!!

Unfortunately this piece will go into my booth for sale:(
I'm a little conflicted on a price so if doesn't sell after a few weeks Ill bring her on home and use in my dining room:)


Did you know Robert Pattinson was a singer?

He is beautiful!


When Twilight came out I figured with all of the hype that I wouldn't be interested in the movie so I didn't watch it. Robert however.....YUM! Anyhow....last week Twilight was on Showtime as I was flipping through and I caught the last hour and I LOVED it! Of course Ive watched 2 other times since then:)

Ill be back with pics of the finished cabinet!

Sunshine is very limited around these parts this time of year!

 

Boy is it ever storming out there! WOW!

I'm not complaining ONE but because I LOVE this kind of weather. I know I've said it before but Ill say it again, NOT the cold part however! Brrrrr!!!!

We had a nice mid Jan warm up last week, only 2 days but it was perfect! Winter came back full force! Every time I looks outside I can barely see across my road, it is snowing and blowing like crazy! The sun….well its few and far between! I think we went close to 28 days withOUT the sun a little while back….that's nuts considering Portugal sees 360 DAYS of sun per yr. Yeah – wouldn't that be nice?

Anyhow, this is what the mailman brought me yesterday

There were 2 boxes of these babies straight from California, packed to the brim! I've NEVER seen lemons so big in my life! Thanks Josh & Justin!!!! You couldn't have sent these at a better time:)

The oranges are SO sweet. Its amazing how they don't even compare to the grocery store ones, shame shame…….

Here's a few more bunnies I've finished up this week and are all up for adoption by custom order as these will go into my booth tomorrow. Just shoot me an email if you're interested!

**The doll in my header was made using a Threadbare Primitives pattern

I hope youre all enjoying the mid January warm up – feels like Spring out there. Big difference from 10 – 35 degrees eh?

I STILL can not get over these guys!

Anyone watch The Singoff when it Aired back in December?

I tuned in and out during the first episode until I saw NOTA!

OMG, unbelievable!! If you saw them then you know exactly what I mean. They are AMAZING! They are ACAPELLA! NO instruments at all - AMAZING!

Just take a listen!



And here..





They are on Facebook - FAN THEM!

I bet we see more of these guys REAL SOON!

Windmill Country

 

Hiyas Everyone!

Please DO click on the photos to enlarge!

Saturday we took a long overdue trip down to see my aunt, uncle and grandpa. They live in Java Lake NY, which is about 70 miles south of me.

The ride out there was amazing, I don't think I have ever seen snow on the trees look like this. We passed through what seemed like hundreds of windmills. Those suckers look huge at a distance but we were right next to them and they are quite impressive!

 

I was able to get some great shots with my Canon, these next few were taken while driving right through the front window!!

These next ones were taken on the way up of the scenery and snow on the trees!

Aren't those crazy pretty? Its so ugly around my house so it was  a nice change to drive into that!

What's everyone working on for Valentines Day? I am at such a slump, I cant find any real good patterns that I like and I'm having a hard time coming up with designs of my own so I've made a few and snow I'm moving onto Easter Prims………

A few things I've finished and taken to my booth,

 

 

 

 

I hope you’re all fairing these cold temps well:)
