Prim, Vintage & Whimsy all n one!

Hey Blog Buds!!!!

I woke up to a chilly 49 this morning! WOW! Almost had to turn on the heat. I suppose it wont be too much longer eh?!


Ive been so busy I dont know if Im coming or going this week!
Im trying to pound out as much Fall as I can by tomorrow so I can start on Christmas.

Next week I will be decorating my booth with vines, bittersweet and cornstalks AND Im taking a 2 week break from crafting. I gotta give my fingers a rest, I have a permanent whole in my index finger from my needle slipping, haha!!!

Anyhow, here are a few things I finished up this week.

This girl has all the looks.....prim, vintage and a bit of whimsy:)





I wasnt sure if I wanted to make these guys until I saw how cute Pams came out:)



More cat dolls



Have a great weekend

2004 & 2006

Hey Blog Buds............


I was going through my photobucket and found some baby pictures of Bella and Dom.

I forgot ALL about having them stored there and I feel lucky I found what few I did.
A while back I lost ALL of my pictures, all 10,000 of them! Due to a nasty virus and being a bit lazy about copying them to disc. We bought an external hard drive and transferred everything over to it. In doing so, the virus also transferred to that and we were unable to save anything from the hard drive or the old computer. Recently, this happened again with newer pictures. I was devastated to say the least, again, because I had not backed up anything to disc. Besides what I have as hard copy pictures (which isn't many) this is it for baby pictures:(

So as I was looking through my photobucket and happened upon these very few but OH SO CUTE baby pictures of the kids and wanted to share....er brag.....I mean, they are the cutest kids I have ever seen:)











Thanks for letting me share my babies:)

My baby girl turns 5!

Tuesday was Isabella Rain's 5th birthday!




I usually make the cake of their choice and we have a family party the weekend following her actual birthday, not this year!

We (the 4 of us, Kin is in Chicago) decided to just have a store bought cake, which Bella picked out and open her presents on her birthday! She was a little bummed that she wasnt having a party but that quickly passed.



I can NOT believe she is 5 years old already. She will be start kindergarten in TWO weeks. It will be just Domonic and I at home until 3:)

Dom had more fun opening presents than she did

I hope youre all staying cool??!!!
WOW - I cant wait for Fall!

I seem to be suffering from some kind of sinus thing. My right eye is so swollen that I cant even open it and the pain is so intense I feel like ripping my eye out...ha!!

It wont be that long now will it?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

First......I finally got some pics of my booth!!!





We still have to put up a wall of some sort on the left side!

Ive actually sold quite a bit in a weeks time, actually 5 days:) because they are closed on Sun and Mon!

I received this WONDERFUL email on Saturday! Imagine my suprise when I opened my email to read this!

"Hi there.....I am Susannah......maybe you have seen me commenting on some of the blogs. I do not have a blog. I wish I did ..but maybe someday.

The reason why I am writing this is because I found your blog and fell in love with the witch holding the pumpkin in your header. As I began to read ...I realized that you just started a booth in Medina. When I read - Medina - I ran to tell my husband that we just had to go there. (We live in Lima, south of Rochester and Henrietta.) Well, today was the day! Yes, I did buy the witch and the pumpkin. I am so very happy. I could not stop there so... I bought the wonderful crow with the sunflowers, too. BTW, There was another lady there that really wanted a witch and a pumpkin. The gal at the desk said she was going to call you for her.

Anyways, thank you for making the witch, little pumpkin and the crow with the sunflowers! I am so pleased! Your work is very prim and I love that. There were so many of your things that I wanted. You are a very talented person. Oh, and I loved your booth!

I think I shall have to go back to Medina soon.....LOL!

Sincerely,
Susannah"


OMG - How AWESOME is that???

Im STILL floored!!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Janene of Primitive Lifestyle and I did a swap and she sent me the most wonderful box of goodies! Look at ALL of this........



LOOK at the bowls and ragballs.....









I thought the ragballs were my favorite but upon further inspection I gotta tell ya, these bowls are SO AWESOME!

See, Ive been meaning to get pics of my goodies for days now, when my package came I put it in my room so my rats (kids) wouldnt get into it, the weekend flew by, and on Sunday my livingroom got ripped apart in a spare of the minute wild hair decision to paint the livingroom so everything in the livingroom got put in my bedroom and i couldnt get to my box of goodies!!!! Whew!

So today I was able to finally get some pics and get them on here to share!

Thank you Janene - I am blowm away and love everything. I think you will do wonderful if you decide to sell in a shop:)


Oooooooooohhhh, there is also a little jewelry box that Kindle scarfed up and I forgot to grab a pic of.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So, on to my livingroom! Yeah, Ive had the paint for months. It was all about trying to find the time to start and finish, or hopefully finish! Thank you to my AMAZING husband for all his help with this project. He HATES painting.

We started Sunday morning, the walls ended up taking 3 coats! I still have the moldings, upper and bottom to finish and the stencil. For some odd reason I picked the TWO hotest days of the summer to do this! WOW!!

Heres sort of a before/after shot...

Buh bye raspberry faux treatment!!!





The wall color is a simple cream and the trim is windsor green (the dark green on the door)

I just want to send a special Thank you to my girl Debbie of Debs Lost Treasures. She made my amazing blog layout AND installed it for me, LOL! Im bettin shes ready to come to NY to kick my butt right about now:)

Shes a gem! Please stop by and check out her site.

Workin on some make-overs!

Hey Guys!

Been about a week since I last posted!

Last Sat I spent close to 3 hours setting up my booth and pricing everything! My nerves finally got to me Saturday night and I was quite the sicky icky! I'm over the nervous bit and am just blown away by all of this!

I just started 9 months ago....remember? Back in Nov Jason's aunt traded me her sewing machine for Bella's bassinet and I was clueless! It didn't take me that long to catch on but what an improvement from then til now! Who woulda thought I would actually have my very own booth in a prim shop??!! Not me!

So Ive been working on swaps items for Janene, what a sweetpea she is!
You should see this BIG box of goodies she sent me! I almost died when I opened the box a little while ago! WOW!

Janene - you are AWESOME and I LOVE LOVE LOVE everything!!
Because you sent me so much, you have to wait another day before I can ship out your goodies:) I have to get to my booth to get some more prims for ya!!!!

I will be posting pics of my goodies from Janene as soon as my cam battery is charged! For some reason my one battery is not holding a charge and its pretty much brand new:( So I'm only working with one battery here! They are SO darn expensive!

Ive also been finishing up a few wooden items to take to my booth in hopes they will sell, although I'm not real sure what to price them at!















Ive got so many more wooden things to get painted and primmed and decided if I want to keep them or not!

Thank you ALL for your wonderful comments on my last post. They made my day all the more bearable!

Ill be back soon to post pics of my goodies from Janene:)
