Here I am..

Hope your morning and afternoon is going great.  We have had a beautiful couple of days, definitely not our normal winter...  I am sooo lovin it. Makes me ready to go camping already.. teehee

What have I been doing??  Between wedding fun and filling orders, I have been a busy little bee...I have even decided that I won't be doing any craft shows this spring.  I just didn't do as well as hoped last year and just don't have the time to stock up on a bunch of new goodies when I am filling so many orders....  I will miss visiting with all of the other crafters and customers but I just can't justify paying the booth fees and not selling enough to make it worth my while.  So...  I hope I can keep busy enough online to make up for it.. 

Here are a few new things I have made that are for sale:

I can't believe how popular this pillow is..  I am going to start working on orders tonight for these.. So happy so many love it!!  If interested, please let me know.  It doesn't have to say Nana, can be Gramma, Grammy, anything you want.. 

I know it's hard to believe but I have been out of the house and do take time to eat and sleep... a little.. teehee...  One of our friends is in a local play so we went and saw it this past weekend.  Boy that is something I could never do.. I used to get butterflies and feel sick to my tummy just having to do an oral presentation in school.. haha.. 

Well, just wanted to check in and let you know I am still here.. 
Hope you all have a blessed day!  Hugs, Tina

Bridal Fair- Silly Booth Photos - New offerings

This weekend we went to the Bridal Fair.  Had never been and boy it ended up being an all day thing but it was fun.  All the vendors are so pricey though at those things.  The photographers and DJ's we had already been looking at were way more reasonable than any at the fair...

You can rent photo booths for events now.  We had never heard of that before.  They said we could try it out w/ some of their props and so we did.  The first one had the basic props hats and glasses and a tiara for the Bride To Be.  We were like, okay, we have to pose, what should we do...  we would just throw something out there in the few seconds before the next photo.

Then we found another photo booth and I think we had almost as much fun looking through their prop box trying to figure out who was going to wear what or hold what as getting our photo taken. 
This one was a little harder to pose or hold composure..  We were all giggling and laughing so hard and the rest of the gals seemed to do okay when time to take the photo but nope... not me...  I just couldn't quit laughing..  I needed something to cover my whole face like Jenn had so you couldn't tell she was laughing the whole time.. One of the props Bre picked was this huge fake ear that she couldn't get to stay on so she had to hold it... in the last photo Jenn goes, here let me whisper in your ear to Bre... oh boy...  that about did me in...and who gave me those grapes.. what the heck do you do with grapes...haha

Anyways, it was a fun day...

I did manage to get a couple things completed this weekend.




Well, that's it for today's post...  I hope you all had a great weekend. 
Hugs, Tina

Happy Brrrrrr Friday, Christmas goodies I got, More offerings

Hope your Friday is treating you all well...  I just can't believe we still don't have any snow...  We always have snow by now and lots of it...  It did snow a bit on Christmas but didn't stick.  I sure hope this doesn't mean that when it does hit us, it will last into spring and summer...Yikes!!

Well, hubby is feeling better and I think I am getting it...Guess it was time, thought I was lucky but I guess not since everyone else around me has been sick...I am not going to let it get me down.. Does that help if I keep saying it?  teehee...I'll give it a shot.


Well, I wanted to show you a couple things Bre got me for Christmas.  There is an antique mall I just love and I had sent her a photo of this garbage can... I know how silly to want a garbage can but look how darn cute it is.  It does have a lid on it too but I had to take it off to hold Bre's flowers.

and while she was there I guess she saw this cute brush and thought I would like it and boy was she right..  The metal part around is all dirty and rusty.. Love it!!


She also got me an old egg carton and a 3 piece enamelware pan set in yellow w/ black trim.. Oh boy oh boy...  Once I find a home for those I will post photos.

I made these hearts for Bre and Vince with their wedding date since it's finally set. Yahoo...


I will be offering just a few St. Patty's Day goodies.  Please let me know if you are interested. 

Shamrock Details

Well, that's it for today.. Thank you for taking the time to read my ramblings...teehee...
Have a wonderful Friday and weekend!  Hugs, Tina

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
