Just craftin like a crazy woman!!

Good morning or I guess afternoon for some of you lovely friends out there...  I hope you have all had a great week so far.  We are now back to the rainy dreary weather.. Not sure if we only got a tease of summer and that was it or what... Others have had it worse so I think we are still lucky.. teehee...

I have been trying to move my goodies to a new Facebook page.  Since my Tina's Primitive Attic page was a business page when I commented on alot of sites it came up as my name instead of TPA so thought maybe I should change it over...  Boy... talk about alot of copying and pasting... haha... Thank you to everyone who is a friend to me on there...  It can be challenging trying to keep up so many sites.. haha..

I finished a couple more pumpkins last night and wanted to share with you.  Go to the Fall Halloween suitcase for details.

Thanks for stoppying by!  Hugs, Tina

Scarecrows, Pumpkins, and Snowmen... oh my...

Sorry, Just a short post today.  I haven't had much time to visit all you lovely ladies as much as usual... I feel like I am missing out on so much.. I miss you all!!

Been cramming to get goodies started, finished, measured, posted... Where does time go...  teehee...

Please check out my new goodies I have posted in the suitcases to the left under:

*Christmas Winter

*Prim Dresses

Hopefully I can get caught up and be able to visit with you soon!!
Have a wonderful week friends!  Hugs, Tina

Surprise waiting... and an Angel

Hellooooo.. Hope everyone had an enjoyable weekend!  The Ritzville Blues Fest was such a great time.  Hopefully our friends that went with us can go every year and make it a tradition.  Lots of great blues bands, a little shopping and just spending time with some great friends!!

When I got home I had a surprise waiting for me....  Linda at Parker's Paradise had made three little cuties and the first 3 comments could get to pick which little doll they wanted...Can you believe she actually thought she wouldn't even get 3 comments, she is so silly....  Here is the one I received and I so love her... Thanks Linda!!

I didn't get much done this weekend since we were gone but I did manage to finish this cute Primitive Angel.  She is an Olde Country Cupboard pattern..  I love how she turned out.  I need to measure her and then she will be put into my suitcase named "Christmas / Winter" and will be for sale.

Thank you all for visiting me!  Have a wonderful day!  Hugs, Tina

Here I am.... busy... busy....what have I been doing??

Here I am... I haven't posted much this week but I have been trying to read some of the posts still. 

We had a busy but great weekend.  We have been blessed with summer, finally and it was a hot one...  We ended up getting our dogs another pool.  Here is a photo of our daughter's dog, Brody.  There was water in it but between the dogs getting in and out and hair in it from Bella, it was time to change it...  Brody jumped right in, ready for the new water to be put in it...  He is so adorable with his under bite.. teehee...

Ya put a rock in the pool and he is busy busy... He gets it under his paws and scoots it around...Silly boy!!

This is Bella, our Newfie, when we brought her home in June 2010.  Look at that face...

This is her now.  Little bit bigger.. hehe.. She was a year old in April.  She loves the water!  She loves to splash the water but... she does not like toys in the pool.. If we throw them in, she gets them and takes them out of the pool and then gets back in...  She is too funny...

Brody wants in but he isn't sure about being in the pool with Bella...  teehee...

Both dogs love to paw at the animals on the bottom of the pool.. Sure wonder what they are thinking when they do that.. It's just too cute.. 

And... I can't forget my little Misty...  She does not like water at all... So, no pictures of her even close to the pool but I didn't want to leave her out, so here she is...

What else has been going on?  We have been helping our daughter move into her NEW house.. Yep, finally went though.  We are so excited and so proud of her.. Not even 21 yet and did it all on her own...  That isn't her house in the background.. Will have to take some photos of it to share.

We are also heading to the Ritzville Blues Festival this weekend so we have been getting our motor home ready.  This is the first summer we haven't gone anywhere in it before now.. Just too much other stuff going on I guess..

and.... I have started some fall goodies.... Pumpkins... Snowmen... Angels..but I have been so busy I haven't had time to actually finish anything...  Hope to get my tush in gear when we get back as I have to have some new things made by next weekend.  Here is a sample of one of my new Snowmen.  Sorry but he isn't done yet... hehe...

Thanks for visiting me and I hope you enjoy the rest of your week and weekend!! Hugs, Tina

Have a wonderful 4th of July!

Little Getaway and some treasures along the way

Hello friends!!  Hope your day has been a wonderful one so far...  I thought it was time I posted some photos of a little getaway that me and the Mr. took a couple weeks ago.. I know, I know.. I am slacking.. forgive me?  We decided we wanted to just take a quick short trip somewhere anywhere and I hadn't been to Sandpoint, Idaho before so that is where we decided to go.  On our way there we found a couple thrift stores to stop at.  These are the treasures I found at these shops.

Wooden Tray, oh just thinking of all of the possibilities of this tickles me.

Wood cutting board

Burgundy Pip Berry Garland, string of pearl beads, vintage lace

So I think my day started out pretty good finding these goodies.

On to Sandpoint we go.  Sandpoint is a small town.  The main downtown strip is only a few blocks long but there is so much shopping, eating and some breweries that there is still enough to keep you busy.

Here is a photo of where we stayed.  The Inn at Sand Creek.  It is right on the main drag as you are coming into Sandpoint so if you are a light sleeper this is not the place for you.  We did put the bolsters they provide in the windows and that helped tremendously.

It is really a nice place.  The bottom is a Bistro and the top are the guest rooms.  The rooms are really a nice size with a seperate bedroom from the sitting room.

We decided we wanted to be close to the strip in downtown since parking is not great and that way we could just walk to everything and boy did we do alot of walking.  Friday was such a sunny beautiful day so glad we got to enjoy the sun cuz it rained off and on and was really windy the rest of the weekend but that didn't stop us from venturing out.

We did find a couple great antique vintage shops here.  We purchased a yellow floral metal canister set and a flower shaped ceramic plate for our daughter to go in her new kitchen but those were swiped up before I could take a photo of them.. teehee...

Here is what I got:

I have been wanting a hanging basket for my peg board.  So many ideas but haven't decided what I will put in it yet so it sits all empty...  Any ideas??

And this:

It is a little raggedy and only has one tie but I so love it.

Some photos of Sandpoint:

Here is an old theater that has little shops in it now.

This place is a restaurant bar type place that has a riding bull in it and boy does it come alive at night and the whole outside is lit up.. I took a photo at night but it didn't turn out.. bummer.

We went to the City Beach on Saturday and it was pretty cold and windy so we just walked along the beach and that was it... a little too chilly to get into the water, even with my tosies..

Here is a photo of me and the Mr. at the city beach.

Thanks for coming along on our visit to Sandpoint.  Hope you have a blessed day my friends and a Happy 4th of July!  Hugs, Tina

Summer, is that you? Getting better, couple Annies

Good morning. Hope you are all doing well today.  I think my cold has finally decided to move on.  I have had a little of a sinus headache lingering but other than that, I feel loads better!!

The weather this week and all through the 4th of July weekend is supposed to be in the 80s here... Geesh!! Finally....  Seemed like summer was never going to make it.  This last weekend wasn't too shabby either, a little breezy but no rain so you gotta love that...  We are in the process of cleaning out our metal storage shed as the roof has been collapsed for a while now, so we can get a wood barn style shed built.  We were going to do ourselves but with the cost of wood, we found that it was actually cheaper to have Ziggy's do it for us....  We just need to get it all cleaned up for them and ready to go.  I am sure they will have it up for us faster than we would have it done anyways so that sounds GREAT to me. 

Besides watching quite a few movies this weekend, I did get a couple more Annie dolls finished.  For details you can check them out in the suitcase on the left named "Annie / Prairie dolls".  If interested, please let me know.

I can't believe I am saying this but I did start on some fall goodies already. Need to get ready for the shows coming up since they will be here before we know it... Well, that is all for now!  Have a wonderful week my friends!  Hugs, Tina
