It's All You Need . . . .

Yes.

This is real.

As I was taking a walk in the woods today, I just happened to look down on the ground and there it was.

It truly made my day.

Happy Friday Everyone . . . back to making stuff now.

Extra Special!

Okay, so I am not computer savvy enough to have a little screen shot to accompany this post but, I will tell you the story anyway! So, as I mentioned in yesterday's post, I was most excited that I was featured on a very cute treasury by Dottyral. Last night, while sitting down to post some things in the shop, I log on the Etsy and lo and behold . . . . there on the main page is . . . . the treasury! I made the front page!!!! There were many squeals and jumps for joy to follow. And many minutes of just staring at the front page.

Yeah, that meant a whole lot to this little wool-sewing gal.

Yeeaay!

Some things to smile about today:

1. The weather is beautiful, warm and sunny.

2. The miniature wiener dog curled up on my lap asleep.

3. A successful batch of homemade tomato sauce on the stove.

4. Lots of little pins and cute holiday stuff is getting made in the studio.

5. Most exciting . . . I am in a treasury on Etsy!!! (Here it is.) I am thrilled!

Hope everyone else is having a swell Monday!

More of This Please!

This picture was taken on a recent hiking excursion to a local state park. You are just walking along in the woods and suddenly . . . TA-DA! You have this, which is extraordinary!

So, right now, I am getting ready for some more fall shows and am doing so many different, unrelated projects at once that I didn't even know which to post about! For instance, there are both snowmen and pumpkins hanging out on my work desk as we speak! Okay, back to it!

A little bit early . . .

I know, I know . . . it is JUST the beginning of September. We JUST celebrated Labor Day! It is STILL warm and sunny outside! Why on Earth are there ghosts with pumpkins on the screen!?

Well, just planning ahead. I have been making fall leaves, pumpkins, and ghosts for a while now and you can start picking up these halloweenie items in the shop. In fact, there is this little guy that is lurking in there right now!

As for the show this past weekend (The Log House Arts Festival in Westmont) it was a success!!! The weather was perfect, the customers were wonderful and I picked up a beautiful antique spoon ring from a delightful couple who have been making jewelry for almost 40 years! I love it. Thank you to one and all! It was a truly wonderful weekend and a fantastic Labor Day by the pool with a glass of wine and great live music . . . hope your Labor Day weekend was just as fine!!!
