It's almost February....

and I'm getting excited.

Grandbaby Cooper is due in February and we can hardly wait. There was a baby shower this past weekend with lots of friends and family. Charlotte and Jeff are very blessed to have so many people that love and care about them and now, their baby. They received such wonderful gifts -- clothes, diapers, handmade blankets, burp cloths that are little works of art. We were able to find a Moses basket for the baby and I made a cute cover and skirt for it ( I should have taken pictures, I'll take some once the baby is born and will show you then). I love the Moses basket it was just like the one my sister gave me to carry my twin babies in almost 30 years ago. WOW!! 30 years, how strange that sounds, I don't feel that old. ;-)

just a little cozy that I made

I'm also excited it is almost February because after taking a self imposed vacation from crafting for the month of January (which I really did enjoy) I am ready to get back to work. I have been spending my down time looking and being inspired by searching the Internet, visiting blogs, Flickr and window shopping on ETSY . Well now that I am all rested up and full of all kinds of ideas, I can hardly wait to share them with you.

See you in February.....

Happy New Year Everyone!!!

We have been having a lot of fun and have had a wonderful holiday season. The time is near for the boys to go back to school. You can't help but get a little excited about the going back to school part and then the funniest thing happens the little guy ask you what is that on his face and yes is that another on his arm, check his chest what about his back. Are you kidding me CHICKENPOX!!! where the heck did he catch that.

Quick a couple of phone calls to some friends, yes his older brother did have a sleepover and yes those boys where exposed to the dreaded chickenpox in fact one is itching as we speak and the other has a little brother that yes he to is itching too,. Oh my!!

Well the good news is he is feeling pretty good considering and hey whats

show business

Here are some pictures of the show this weekend:

My newest handbags, the little saddlebag sold first thing. It was so cute.

Thanks for coming by and visiting.....

Still recouping.....

from the Vintage Holiday Boutique. We got back home yesterday afternoon

just in time for a short winters nap.

It was a great show, lots of people and all the vendors are a very sweet, talented group of women. Lots of smiles and quite a bit of laughing and joking going on. Here are some pictures of my table. After this show I realized I need to start spending more time on my displays, some of the booths at this show where works of art (go by and visit Cathe's blog for more pictures) I wish that I had taken pictures, if it weren't for Jenn (my daughter and business partner) taking this pictures of our booth I wouldn't have any. Thank you Jenn for all your help and moral support, I couldn't do it without you. Also to Lee and Annette (my son and daughter-in-law) for taking such good care of us this weekend, they gave up their bedroom and kept us very well fed. Thanks again everyone!!!

Now I'm off to make more for the next show... Talk to you soon

Stockings

Here are some better pictures of the Christmas stockngs that I have been working on.

The stockings are 18 inches toe to cuff and 6 inches wide. Just big enough to hold all those goodies that Santa leaves all the good little boys and girls.
