Let Vacation Begin...Presents wrapped...more pillows..no snow still....

Helloooooo....Well, I wanted to check in real quick just in case I don't have time later since we are on vacation, Yahoo!!..I am sorry I will quite teasing.... I wish I could take a week off every month, wouldn't that be great... haha...

Bre and Vince went and looked at a mansion for their wedding today and I am soooo excited to hear how it went..  Wish it would be nice out and summer weather so can see how it might look with all the greenery and flowers but I guess pictures online will have to do..  I can't believe how quick some of these places book up.. Woweeee... 

I got some more presents wrapped last night but still need to get some last minute things for grampa and gramma and then we are all done...so bring Christmas on....now if we would just get some snow.... it has barely snowed at all and if it does it's a thin sheet and it just melts right away...  I just want snow at least for Christmas then it can go away again... teehee....

I finished a couple more pillows last night.

I thought the reindeers would be a great match for the Sleigh pillow.. teehee...

I posted this Snowmen pillow and a friend wants 3 by Monday.. YAY!! 

She also asked me if I had any pillows w/ horses on them...I don't, not sure how much of a demand there would be for those.... but I found a picture she liked and so I am going to attempt to make my own stencil again....  Hopefully it will work out and I will post a photo of it when it's done.

Have a wonderful weekend!  Hugs, Tina

Santa Pillow...Wedding planning...Merry Christmas!!

Good Morning to ya!!  Well, it's not quite Friday at 4:00 yet but at least it's one step closer to it..  Why am I so anxious for Friday... We are on vacation for a week...  WooHoo...  My hubby and I are lucky enough to both get a week off for Christmas..What do you have planned for the holidays?  We are staying home for the holidays.  We go to my grandparents on Christmas Eve for dinner and open presents.  Bre usually stays the night at our house and we open presents at our house on Christmas day then we go back to my grandparents for Christmas day dinner... 

I am all caught up on Christmas orders, I only have a prim dress and bag holder to finish for a friend but she doesnt need by Christmas so....I decided I wanted to make a pillow for me.. It turned out so cute and I love it.. I posted it on  My Facebook page just to show Christmas goodies around my house..  A friend text me about it for her mom for Christmas....so...I guess it will be going to a different home now but...  I can always make another.. I was so happy at the response so maybe I should make a couple.. haha..  Here it is:

So.. onto the wedding plans.. Bre and Vince are all over it...  Got their guest list started, picked out her colors, who will stand with them, her maid of honor came over last night with a binder with Bre and Vince's photo on the outside of it and all sorts of info inside.. teehee...  I think this will be very fun for the both of them...Now to find the right venue... She really wants it to be this coming summer so our grandparents can be there and nana and poppy so there is sort of a rush on picking a date and hoping it won't be taken...  Bre and I are looking at wedding dresses this Saturday..Fun fun....

Well, since I will be on vacation, I might not get on here til after the holidays... 

 Hope you all have a very Merry Christmas!! Hugs, Tina

Operation Secret Proposal.....A success!

What an exciting weekend!!  Our daughter and Vince have been dating for 7 years.  He came over on Thursday and asked our permission to marry Bre... We were very excited.  He is a great guy and they are so cute together so we couldn't be happier.  So.... now on to Operation Secret Proposal...  There were 77 of us that all had seats at the Chiefts Hockey Game on Saturday which is called the Teddy Bear Toss night.  This was their very first date 7 years ago...  So....  during the first intermission when the clock hit 16:00 I was to get Bre up (to go to the little girls room, she thought anyways.. teehee) and when she looked up they would be holding up letters that spelled out "BREANNA WILL YOU MARRY ME" but... she wasnt looking upward so... I had to sort of nudge her that way and when she saw what it said, she turned to Vince and he proposed and she said "YES"...  Yahoo!!  So.. we had some celebrating to do afterwards... I think we might have done it a little too much though.. teehee...

Here is the happy couple after she said yes...

Now on to the fun part of planning the wedding.. oh gees.. so many things to do.. haha..

Well, have a great day friends!! Hugs, Tina

Crafting, crafting and you guessed it...More crafting..

Good morning.  I stayed up late last night finishing some things and starting some new projects.

Here is the stencil pillow I finished for a friend

A couple stenciled pillows I made to sell:

For details, go to my Facebook page: Tina's Primitive Attic

I started on some more angels and got some Prairie doll bag holders all stained up...  Will post photos of those when I am done.

Well...  that's it for today.  I have to get busy.. 

Have a great Saturday!  Hugs, Tina

Stenciled Pillow...Am I really almost caught up??

Good Friday morning blogging friends.  

I have a friend on Facebook who has requested a pillow with a special saying on it so I had to make my own stencil...  Now this is only the 2nd time I have made my own stencil and the first one was just to try it out and see how it went.. haha... This friend buys alot of my goodies and was very specific of the saying she wanted, the colors of fabric, ribbon.... everything so I do feel a little pressure to make sure she will love it so this one seems like it has taken me a little longer to make.... Last night I got the saying hand stenciled on the burlap, the ribbon sewn on and tonight I just have to sew the back to the front and stuff it...  I have to say, I think it is pretty darn cute.. I sure hope she loves it.....

I also hand stenciled another saying on to some fabric and have one more I want to do and then I can make them into pillows..  Sure hope they turn out cute..teehee...

I have a couple more angels for orders and then I think I am all caught up and I can work on whatever I want..  Hmmmm.. so many choices, what will it be?? 

Today we have our Christmas lunch for work at Luigi's.. Oh yum... Italian is my fav...I always try to schedule our lunch on a Friday so we are only here a couple hours after lunch and then it's time to go home for the weekend.. Yippee....

Well friends, I guess, that's it for now.  Hope you have a great weekend...

Hugs, Tina

Here I am....Christmas decorations up... Prim Ice Skates

Morning friends!! Just in case you were wondering where I have been lately, wanted to let you know I am still here.. haha..  Geesh, I had no idea how busy I would be this season with Christmas orders .  Boy oh boy am I jumping up for joy though and feeling blessed so many have loved my prims enough to want for their own...  And... we have picked up here a bit at work which is always great so I have to sneak here and there to be on the computer.  I don't even know where to start it's been so long since I updated y'all. 

First of all, I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving..We went over to my grandparents and helped with dinner.  Bre and I always look forward to all those Black Friday ads so we can see if anything we want to get for anyone then we plan our attack, which store to hit first and so on and so on...  After dinner, Bre and I went home and wrapped all of our presents that we had already bought, since we were trying to kill time waiting for 11 pm to get here so we could go stand in line for Black Friday..We started at Target and boy was it brrrrr cold out there.. Yikes.. There were alot of people already in line so we had to stand around the side of the building for about an hour til the clock struck MIDNIGHT!!  Target always has the best blankets on sale... They are so soft and you can get any size for the same price and every year I think Bre gets one and I never do and always love hers so this year I decided I wanted one.. hehe..so I bought one for myself...  So after getting everything we went to Target for and no dilly dallying or we would be in line forever, we were on to Shopko.. Why oh why do we go to Shopko.. Ugh...  This is the worst line ever and I was in line for over and hour.  Usually it doesn't seen that bad but this year bre wanted some things for her new home and they were heavy heavy so I had to put them on the floor and push them with my foot.. haha..  So...  when I was finally able to checkout, we needed a refill on engergy so we hit Starbucks and off to the Mall we went..  After going to all the stores we needed stuff at, we finally got home about 5:30 am... I was so tired but I had filled up with so much coffee to stay awake I couldn't hardly sleep.. hehe..  I did manage to sneak in a couple hours before we went back out again..  I can say I definitley don't like Black Friday shopping starting at midnight.  I thought would be better since I would just stay up instead of trying to get up extra early to go shopping by 4 am..  but nope...  So, we will see how next year goes.. teehee...

We have been putting xmas decorations out a bit here and there since Thanksgiving but just got our tree up this week. 

Here's Misty in her Mrs. Claus dress coat..  she looks so darn cute.. haha..

I haven't had alot of time to make new goodies to share but here are some Ice Skates I finished this week.  I have 2 pairs made for sale.  If you are interested, please let me know.  You can find more details on these Here

Here are a couple things I made on request for a FB friend:

Do ya think she is a WV fan?  teehee

You can find all of my prims on my FB page Tina's Primitive Attic

I can't believe I am seeing Valentines and St. Patty's day goodies already offered..  Geesh,,, I am not even done with Christmas / Winter goodies yet.. haha.. I guess it will be here before we know it... 

Hope the holidays are wonderful for you so far...I just love this time of year with the decorations, the Christmas shows, just the happiness it seems to bring out in others... 

Well, I guess I better get back to work, I just wanted to say hi!!
