Treasure Trove of prim goodies

Figured I share my lastest creations that I plan to add to my booth space. Some of it you've seen already. But a few things I just finished. I get a better pic once it's in the booth. I am excited to show you our place.

And I actually had my first sale this week. Woo Hoo! I sold some christmas gift bags. Sorry no pics to share of them. They were wachcloths that I just folded in half and added a draw string . It's a start and I'm excited. Slowly but surely our items will Sell. Donnely has special orders for yarn and I have people asking about crates and birdhouses. So it looks as if we will busy working away. Well I am headed off to work so I'll chat with you all later.

Whatcha Workin' on Wednesday.

Lets see what did I worked on this week? Well I managed to get to the Back Woods Fest last Friday and bought 10 gourds. They now currently sit in my storage room waiting to be turned into lights. I did get one done though. But I'm not sure if I like it as well as my star gourd. But I can't do them all the same now can I? LOL

Next Wayne made me up some doors to paint.They are just small wooden doors that hang on the wall. I have four more to do but I am having a hard time trying to figure out what colors to paint them. I also want to sand them to give them a more worn look but my sand paper seems to have grown legs and run off. Guess I'll just have to buy more when I get off work tonight.

I have a bird house that needs painted also. But I just don't seem to have enough time to get all my projects done right now.

Just last week I was whinning because I didn't have much to do and now I've got more than enough. That old saying is true "Becareful what you wish for.. You just might get it." LOL

Now ya know what I'm workin on. Besure to stop by and see what Leslie and the rest of the Wednesday bunch are workin on.

Wonderful Fall Day.

Today Donnely and I took another tripto the Craft Warehouse to replenish our supplies. We didn't spend near as much this time as before but we did get some things we needed and a few items that we purchased were on sale. I LOVE a bargain. But hey who doesn't right?

On the way back we drove past this wonderful pumpkin farm called Pigeon Roost Farm. We decided to stop and check it out. It was a very nice place with lots and lots of pumpkins,squash, gourds,corn stalks and even indian corn for sale.

They have a play area for the kids along with donkey rides and a corn maze. There is even a gift shop where they sell lots of goodies along with Pumpkin Butter and some Pumpkin Honey that they make right on the farm. They don't have a lot going on during the week but the lady in the shop told us on the weekends there is lots to see and do.It was a nice side trip for Donnely and I on this wonderful Fall day. I plan to take Wayne and the boys back some weekend. I think it will be a wonderful family outing that we will all enjoy.

Bob aka Kitty Update

Remember a couple of weeks ago my Aunt Aneta found a scraggly little kitten lying in the middle othe road. We never expected him to survive. Well he sure proved us wrong and 3 weeks later here is "Bob" thusly named because he is a bob-tailed kitten.
Not my name of choice. Bob lives at my grandmother's house and my grandpa was the one who called him Bob and so everyone else just continue to called him that. Bob needs lots of care and I just didn't have the time with me working outside of the home and so he went to stay at my grandparents house. My mother also lives there so she takes care of Bob. He can not see very well but he gets around the best he can.

Whatcha Workin' on Wednesday

Not really much to show this week for Whatca Workin' On Wednesday. I did manage to make an Ohio State towel not really my thing but I have to make what sells and around here Ohio State stuff sells like hot cakes.

I have plans to make up a few of the gourd light. Thanks Cindy B for the ideas and tips. I took it to the booth last Friday and put up signing saying more coming soon I am keeping that one for me. Donnely said she had at leat 10 people ask to buy it. So now I just have to get the gourds. Friday I will be going to the Backwoods Fest where I'll be picking up as many as my car will hold.

Hubby has a few requests for some of his woodwork also. Now I've got to get his butt in gear and get him workin on projects too.
Thanks for the comments on my last post. I wrote down all your advice. i realsize I am stressing myself too much worrying about getting people to buy things. It wont be any fun if I'm stressin over so I'm just gonna chill and not worry. I mean we've only just started the bussiness of selling our wares so not everyone knows we are there yet. I have to give it time for the word to get out and let it happen on it own.
Well now that I've bored you to tears with my ramblings head on over and see what Leslie and the rest of the Wednesday bunch are workin on

Frustrated

I seem to be having a creative block right now.I want to create a few things for my booth but nothing right now seems to be speaking to me. What I have there just doesn't seem to spark the interest so I wanted to add some new things. But right now I just wanna pull my hair out. I've looked at web sites,I've looked at magazines and even gone thru my own patterns but not one single thing says make me. I was gonna try and make one of the prairie dolls you see everywhere lately but even that is not working for me because I don't have a pattern for one and can't find one I like on the internet Any ideas ladies where to look?

What do you do to to get rid of your block? That is if you ever have one.

Wind Storms

Wow what a Sunday afternoon we had here is Ohio. A wind storm came thru our area with gust up to 70mph. The trees in my own front yard sufferd greatly. The wind snapped branchs like they were toothpicks. They fell right in front of the house and a few fell in the road but thank goodness none laned right on the house. Our town was one of the lucky ones we never lost power like so many of the other towns and counties. Some places could be without power clear up til the weekend. They say the wind storm was remnamts of Hurricane Ike. I sure hope we never experience that again any time soon.
