How are you today? I am great. I have lots to be thankful and that makes me happy. I have been busy these past few weeks working on spring fun and something new that I always wanted to try and that was soap. I just want to go to town and make all sorts of soap. So to slow down I started with brown sugar and oatmeal soap. It smells soooo good.

    Today I moved into a new room. I started with a small room in February of 2012. Then in November I thought I could use 2 rooms. It was a very nervous time for me. I wasn't sure if I could make my rent for both rooms so now I kept the bigger room of the two. A blazer full came home with us, us meaning my son Noah and I. He was a huge help. He did a lot of running for me.
    Moving out of the smaller room was sad. It was the first big step into my business I had done on my own. It had to be done though to move into a bigger room. The small room was looking quite crowed.
 Now that it is all done and said and I have had time to sit and think about it all, I think I did the right move.So here is a look at my room.........

 

Here are some trees that I had created.

This years fall crept up on me fast. I was not prepared at all. There are a few things I would have like to have made for my shop. I will just have to make a note of it on the calender for next year. So learning from that experience I am ready to start my Christmas crafting. 

I have been searching pinterest to get into the mood of Christmas. It is kinda hard since we are just leaving the summer weather. Lots of great ideas though. I could spend hours on that web site. It is a good thing I have children or that is all I would be doing, searching the web. My mission is to make my own primitive Christmas tree. I have been thinking of ways of how to do it for about a year now. I have some ideas now its to get it into motion. If they turn out the way they do in my head then I will be very busy making them for my shop. 

My shop has been going so well at the Turkey River Mall in Elkador, Iowa. I am so very happy that I got the  opportunity to start my shop. It is a great feeling to be fulfilling one of my dreams. I have a few other dreams that I have fulfilled they are: being married to the best man on earth, and having a large family ( we have  6 great children). 

Enough about me. I need to start mossing on and get crafting. Hope you all had a great weekend and have a awesome week. 

 This summer has been quite warm. The temps here is SW Wisconsin have been in the mid 90's and some days with the heat index over 100. We were on a dry spell for a quite a few weeks. A burning band was on for the 4th of July. Mowing our lawn was out the question. Now it has rained a few times and our grass is very green. I love it. Weather can be so funny some times. The good thing with the warm weather is that the fish have been biting, catching our limit every time we went out.

Yay!!! I thought my blog was doomed forever.  I could not log in for the life of me and it was a simple thing. I was signing in with the wrong name. That is the problem with having so many different passwords and user names. I feel so stupid but yet so relieved.

Anything you see here in my blog and are interested in buying just email me or Facebook me. Thanks and have a great day!

Here are some plugs that I have made........

Here are some things I have been working through the year...........

Had a great weekend. A friend of mine Shelly Slaght and I did a craft show in Gays Mills, WI for apple fest. We did awesome for it being our first show.

Good Morning ~ How is every one doing today?  Here doing good. The weather could be warmer, but that will come soon enough then we will be complaining about the heat and wish it would be cooler. Funny we are never happy are we. Last week Thursday my youngest slid down a few stairs in the house and bit the middle of his tongue. It was quite gross. Come to find out the tongues heals quit fast. He was eating hot dogs and ketchup the next day with no problems.

We had a rainstorm Saturday which caused lots of tree limbs and power lines to fall. My mother-in-law says that  grandma and grandpa's yard looks like some one cut tree tops and just left the mess. So this next Saturday we all get to go to visit grandma and grandpa and clean up. It will be fun the kids always have fun at their house and so do the adults.

I am not very creative when coming up with ideas on what to prim make. I usually surf the web and buy patterns and go from there. I am lost for ideas. If anyone has any please don't be afraid to speak up! LOL

Well have a great day! I off to explore the Internet for some ideas.....;)

Valentine cards

The kids are all making their Valentine cards for their friends. They are having a blast coming up with ideas of what to make. TJ, my oldest, is making playing cards valentines. Noah, my second oldest, is making puppy faces valentines. Isabella, my third oldest, is making flower valentines. Tommy, Jacob, and Lucas, the younger ones that stay home, are making hearts with puff stickers. It is always fun to see what their little minds come up with.

~Applesauce Ornaments~( Not edible for children if they help)

1c. store bought applesauce

1c. cinnamon powder

mix into a dough ball, roll out on counter/dough board into desired thickness. cut shapes, poke holes (optional), air dry for 24 hrs on wax paper or drying rack. enjoy!

I found this on  Trisha Theriault Griffin Facebook page. The smell so good!

"Primitive Pantry Cakes Recipe"

1 cup flour


1/2 cup salt

1 cup coffee grounds

1/2 cup cold coffee



Spray the pan with cooking spray. What she would have to do is press the dough all around the inside (about 1/4 or more thick), then wad up foil to fill in the middle, and then put a layer at the top to cover the foil. Otherwise, if the whole pan is filled with the dough, it won't dry completely and will get moldy and icky. Then, you bake it in a slow oven for a couple of hours or leave it out in the sun for a really long time to dry. When it's dry, rub spices all over it or make that fake icing with white glue and white paint to drizzle over the top.

I found this recipe on A PRIMITIVE JOURNEY's blog I can't wait to try it!

Postings

I am going to try to post every Sunday. I have been slacking. I have pictures to post. I didn't sell much at the craft sale that was a few months ago, but I have been selling quite a few dolls at Snappy Turtle. It is a little shop in Prairie du Chien. Shelly the owner of the shop is a wonderful lady and has made this happen for me. Thank you Shelly.
