A lil bit of everything!

Not sure what to title this post as Ill be all over this morning!

First I want to thank you ALL for the nice comments on my cupboard makeover. I don't know if it has sold yet as I haven't been back to my booth. Saturday Jason and went to the mall shopping for US! Haha! It felt SO good to shop for myself! I haven't bought myself a single clothes item in probably 7 years...no lie!!

About the bad comments, I was getting a TON of
S
P
A
M
comments.

I had that word in there when I first updated my post about them but noticed I was receiving one of those comments EVERY MINUTE.
So I took the word
s
p
a
m
out and added the word BAD. I thought I was loosing my mind. I rejected 75 comments in a matter of 4 hours!

As soon as I took out the S word the comments stopped so I'm wondering if they have some sort of filter that runs on that word. If you post that word they nail your comments!? IDK...I could be wrong! In any event, I was about to delete my blog!!!

After shopping Saturday Jas and I picked up our newest lil guy, Archie!




Hes such a good natured lil guy and doing really well with potty training. He will be 8 weeks tomorrow, he was born on Christmas Eve!

We have an apt with the vet tonite, I want to be sure he has no health problems as the breeder only offers a 72 hour health guarantee!





Ill be back later this week with a few new offerings!

Cupboard Makeover

I can finally post pictures of the cupboard makeover.
I wanted to wait til I put it in the shop before I posted!

Remember this?


Well it from that to this.....


It seemed to take a long time from start to finish because it took 4 coats of black paint before I could dry brush the red on. Once I got to that point it went quick!!

We got it settled into my booth last Saturday and I forgot my camera:(

Im hoping to go in this Saturday and see a sold sign on it:) I can hope eh!??



Not too much else going on around here. Kids are home all week for winter break and Ive been making up a few new rabbits from Kentucky Prims patterns. I just love her work!! Ill post new pics when Im all done!!

I had my 3 month Ortho check yesterday for my ankle and knee. No real change in the ankle so surgery will be up to me. Im in no hurry as it doesnt really bother me all that much unless Im on it alot. And then, I just take a pain pill. My knee has alot of arthritis and the wire in there is rubbing against the patella causing ALOT of grinding when I bend it. He suggested a simple surgery to remove the wire and would put me at 3 weeks of recov time, but I opted out. Ide rather do it all at once, the ankle and knee....no sense in having another surgery unless it gets to a point where I cant stand it anymore!

We're off this weekend to the mall for clothes for Jas and I. Its been so long since Ive actually bought myself clothes...I buy for the kids before I do myself. We got our tax refund so now is the time. Im also looking to get a WII and maube a new sewing machine:)

Have a great weekend!!!

After receiving numerous bad comments I have decided to turn on comment moderation. I absolutely hate this feature and having to type in the codes myself but I wont put up with annonymous bad comments anymore! Sorry!

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!
