Puppy Training easier than we thought!

We've had alot of small dogs and there always seems to be an issue with potty training. No matter how long we trained and how many times we took them outside they still always went in the house. I was VERY hesitant when the idea of getting another puppy came up! Of course I have to be the main "taker outer" just because I am home all day.

Archie is doing VERY well. He is sleeping straight through the night without waking me up to go potty. We arent crate training him. He has his pen in the diningroom with his dog bed and papers, just in case. He will hold it all night and wake me up between 4:30 - 5:30am.

He will be 3 months old tomorrow and I think he is doing AWESOME! He goes in Friday for his 3rd round of shots. The 1st vet we took him to actually repeated what the breeder already gave him even after I showed him and the vet tech his shot records. They also weighed him, he was 3lbs 4oz.

I dont like this vet, at all. We take our cat and other dog Corona to a different vet. They actually clip their nails, check for fleas and go over all kinds of info with you. I had to use this one vet because the breeder we got him from only offered a 72 hr health guarantee and I needed to quick get him in.

So I switch him over to our regular vet, whom hell see on Friday.

He is such a sweet lil guy

Thank you to those who commented on my last post! I did check ebay and the ones I found and liked were just small pieces of quilt. I actually would like to find at least a double or queen. I was able to get in contact with Beth at Olde Tyme Marketplace, she has quite a few available so its just deciding on which one now.

Brenda a FB friend also emailed me and offered to check her local antique store for one so Im waiting to hear back from her:)

Ill get one, I just know it:)

This is my latest Folky Bun I made. She is VERY large and VERY heavy. She is aprox
51" long, that is ALOT of polyfil...let me tell ya!
She is made from an Angel And The Crow Primitives pattern, I did change her dress up a tad.



Ill be posting a few new offerings later this week. Im working on a few Jackie Schmidt patterns.

Have a wonderful WARM week...ugh, wasnt that Spring weather a teaser?

Hope this post finds you all doing well!
Its been so long since Ive been able to catch up with you all.
I have been so busy lately left wondering just exactly doing what?

Ive been making alot of dolls and it seems I cant keep up week to week to restock my booth. The beginning of March I was totally wiped out, in just a matter of a few days. I went in one day and the booth was stocked really well. I went back a few days later and there was all but 3 bunnies left. So its been a rush to get it stocked again!

Last Fri night we went to our first auction. It was ok, just ok! Kinda boring sitting through those box lots. I was lucky to pick up a huge crock for only $15. It has a tiny crack in it which is fine because I wanted it to hold shoes right by the kitchen door, and thats where it sits!



I also picked up a REALLY heavy REALLY old oval mirror in a wood frame. I painted the frame black and sanded the edges and am debating on taking it to the booth or not. And 2 wooden skillets that are in the process of being painted and primmed up.
Sorry, no pictures of those!!

Yesterday I received TWO packages in the mail. One I knew was coming, it was a swap Carolyn of Primitive Devotion and I had and the other was a total surprise from Linda of Simple Country Seasons. It was a good day:)

These are my goodies from Carolyn,



See my little pinkeep there? She made that just for me:) I absolutely LOVE it!!

This was also tucked into my box,


It is the neatest little egg carton. Ive been looking for something to display my eggs in for a few days now, it was like she was reading my mind!

I cant say too much more because I dont want to ruin her surprise as she hasnt received her package yet:)

This is what Linda sent me,



There is a HUGE feedsack in there, I am thinking of making myself a sawdust pillow for my bed with that. Ive already used some of the fabric to make pants for a bunny I made yesterday. I just love all that different fabric:)

So we're off to the auction again tonite and last night Jas surprised us with IMAX tickets for Alice in Wonderland Saturday afternoon, Im so excited!!!

Archie is doing VERY well. His vet visit went great, he is very healthy and weighed 3lbs 4oz. He goes back on the 26th and I wanna say hes over 5lbs now. He LOVES to eat!!! Ill get some recent pictures of him.


Heres a few new prims I finished and will be posting on my selling blog when I can find the time.








Have a great weekend!!!

RIP Corey

I just logged into my email to read that my most favorite of ALL time actor Corey Haim died this morning. I am just in shock and very sad.





BURBANK, Calif. — Corey Haim, a 1980s teen heartthrob for his roles in Lucas and The Lost Boys whose career was blighted by drug abuse, has died. He was 38.
Haim died early Wednesday at Providence St. Joseph Medical Center in Burbank, Los Angeles County coroner's Lt. Cheryl MacWillie said.

"As he got out of bed, he felt a little weak and went down to the floor on his knees," Assistant Chief Coroner Ed Winter said. His mother called paramedics.

An autopsy will determine Haim's cause of death. There was no evidence of foul play, police Sgt. Michael Kammert said.

Haim, who gained attention for his roles in "Lucas" and "The Lost Boys," had flulike symptoms before he died and was getting over-the-counter and prescription medications, police Sgt. William Mann said.

"He could have succumbed to whatever (illness) he had or it could have been drugs," Mann said. "He has had a drug problem in the past."

Haim was taken by ambulance to the hospital from an apartment in Los Angeles near Burbank. The enormous complex is known as Oakwood and is popular with young actors, Kammert said.

Haim acknowledged his struggle with drug abuse to The Sun in 2004.

"I was working on Lost Boys when I smoked my first joint," he told the British tabloid.

"I did cocaine for about a year and a half, then it led to crack," he said.

Haim said he went into rehabilitation and was put on prescription drugs. He took both stimulants and sedatives such as Valium.

"I started on the downers which were a hell of a lot better than the uppers because I was a nervous wreck," he said. "But one led to two, two led to four, four led to eight, until at the end it was about 85 a day."

In 2007, he told ABC's Nightline that drugs hurt his career.

"I feel like with myself I ruined myself to the point where I wasn't functional enough to work for anybody, even myself. I wasn't working," he said.

The Toronto-born actor got his start in television commercials at 10 and earned a good reputation for his work in such films as 1985's Murphy's Romance and his portrayal of Liza Minelli's dying son in the 1985 television film A Time to Live.

His career peaked and he became a teen heartthrob with his roles in the 1986 movie Lucas, and The Lost Boys, in which he battled vampires.

In later years, he made a few TV appearances and had several direct-to-video movies. He also had a handful of recent movies that have not yet been released.

But in 1997 he filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, listing debts for medical expenses and more than $200,000 in state and federal taxes.

His assets included a few thousand dollars in cash, clothing and royalty rights.

In recent years, he appeared in the A&E reality TV show The Two Coreys with his friend Corey Feldman. It was canceled in 2008 after two seasons. Feldman later said Haim's drug abuse strained their working and personal relationships.

In a 2007 interview on CNN's Larry King Live, Haim called himself "a chronic relapser for the rest of my life."

Prayers for his friends and family!

Finishes

Ive got a few new finishes to share, but I wanted to post Liberty 1st.





Ive tried and tried to get the perfect picture of her because the ones I have dont show the detail and all of the shading. The more light I let in the more it drowned her out. The less light I let in made her nose flourescent and she is not by any means. She is absolutely beautiful!!! She was made from a Crow About Primitives patterns, I just changed her up a little bit. When I was looking through my stash of fabric for her dress I decided to make her an americana gal!

I just love her!!!!


A few others to share.......

A Sweetpeas Primitive pattern


A Bird In the Hand Primitives pattern

I just ordered 5 new patterns this morning to stop back by in about a week for new offerings!
