Photos,Ramblin's & The Covered Bridge Festival

Hoping and keeping fingers and toes crossed that my internet will work with me and NOT against me tonight ! I tried forever to upload images last night and lemme tell ya it was a slowwww movin' process ! So we shall see if it will work tonight ! The picture below is of a lil JOL I made and attached to a rusty bed spring. More eye candy to follow =) Providing I have no more upload hazards along the way.

This next picture is a sampling of some of the items I picked up at the Covered Bridge Festival. If you ever get the chance to go to this festival lemme tell ya it's worth going to! Several small towns have this festival and it runs 10 days. I love going to Bridgeton.It is by far my favorite spot. Mansfield is pretty good as well but seems to be more flea markety (not antique ,older prim flea markety lol). I've never made it to Rockville but have heard its awesome as well. Here is a link for information about it. It starts the 2nd weekend in October and draws lots and lots of people. I will share more pics of my goodies from there in another post. http://coveredbridges.com/




The next few pictures are of things I have handmade the last few days. I just love to drag out my fabric, patterns and sewing machine and get ta sewing and creating. It's really relaxing. My kids even say.....Mom why don'tcha go craft a lil cause your not as grumpy when you are lol. Me ?!? lil ol Me grumpy ?!?! Ok ok without further ado the pictures.......(fingers n toes crossed)

This is my lil mummy doll. All grungy and smellin soooo yummy.

This is a lil pillow that I stenciled on the Trick or Treat with some paint on grungied osnaburg fabric.

This is a stump Santa. He is painted muslin, hand stitched face and lambs wool beard. He stands around 14 inches tall and he smells sooo sooo yummy.I will be listing him on Ebay. But I ohhhhhh sooooo wanna keep 'im ! My ebay id is willow_bend_prims-n-more if you wanna check out my listings. I thought about starting a selling blog as well. Decisions...Decisions.....

This is a stump doll snowman. He too will be listed on Ebay in the next few days. But guess what ??? Ya ya I wanna keep him as well lol ;0) He is quilted osnaburg. Grungied up and nice and shiny with his mica flakes and german glitter glass. His nose was a pain in my...ooopppsssie fingers almost got carried away ( yikkkesss ) He needs jus a lil tweaking still I think.
One more picture of 'im

So glad ya'll took the time to check out my ramblin's and creations. I would love to see what ya'll have been up to. Tommorow Im gonna try to upload some Thrift store finds to share with ya'll. Maybe even later tonight if I can't sleep.

A long hiatus

Wow it sure has been a while since my last post ! I have had sooooo much going on that I just hadn't been able to find time to post. My Daddy had been really ill with heart problems and non hodgkins lymphoma. Work has been overwhelming and my own health hasn't been the best these last few months (gall bladder). But praise God for the power of prayer. My Daddy had a Dr. appt last week and he is in remission !!!! His Dr. said he is a walking miracle. His cancer was stage 4 and spread throughout his lymph nodes. When she first saw him back a few years she called a family meeting to let us know that she didn't think his prognosis was great, but with prayer all things are POSSIBLE !



I sure hope everyone else and your families has been and are doing well. I finally made some time to sew again. I made a few fall things and decided I better get started on Christmas.....yikkkeeessss did I just type Christmas ?!?!?! I just can't believe it's only 66 days away ! whewwww. I've got alotta crafting to do ! I hope to share some tips, ideas and tutorials with ya'll and I thank you for sitting a spell with me =)

Gonna share a few pictures above in the next post...
