Soooooo, finished all six pair of jammy bottoms for the grandboys. Have some other things to get done. I have help coming tomorrow. Stephie is going to come and cut some things out for me. It really hurts my back to cut out patterns. She is a good girl, for sure. Haven't had any sales this weekend. I hope this cyber Monday turns out to be something. We shall see...lol. My PayPal account is getting low.

I am going to lay off for the holidays and try and sell what I have. I will do special orders, of course. Have one ready to get picked up now. Have to get busy and get things ready to decorate the house with. I wasn't going to do anything this year and was shamed into it by the grandboys....lol.

Talk to you tomorrow. Have a good night.

Hope all is well with everyone. I was pretty lazy today. Did some sewing on personal items for Christmas gifts and took a short walk with my girl. I made it around the block, big accomplishment for me. Will keep doing it and hopefull it won't hurt as bad. Have some new ideas running in my head....going to do some research and see if I think they are doable. Be back for more fun tomorrow. Here is an item from me and Stephies shop http://www.stepherbugs.artfire.com/

Here it is, another Thanksgiving Day behind us. Had a great day with the kids. Missed my brother so much, he really enjoyed a good meal. Stephie did all the cooking this time around and everything was done to a "T" . I have put a picture of Vashon up as I am missing home today. There is nothing to compare to the blue water and Mt. Rainer peeking up behind. I am happy and love my life....just a bit homesick today. Hope you all had a wonderful day.

This lovely piece from LJWoods shop on ArtFire will sing in the Holiday Season. She has many pieces that I am sure you will enjoy checking out.

I have been working on an order for 14 Memory Baby Bears. Hope to finish them up tomorrow. I really enjoy doing the Memory work because you know it will bring someone great joy. I have so much to do and so little time to get it done. I have my own projects to get done for Christmas so I guess I will start burning the candle at both ends. Have a great evening!!

Ok....really am trying to be better about blogging. I have been so busy with my brother ailing and passing away. I guess I am ready to continue on. I have lots of things to get photograhed and listed before the holidays really hit. Had a Bazar last week....didn't sell a thing. I have to get busy and see what I can get done. Turned cold today. I hate to think of winter coming. My husband put a new roof on the garage last week....should of been done last year. It sure looks good. So happy to have it done. Have two ladies coming to bring fabric for Memory Bears tomorrow morning. I want to get some Christmas sewing for myself done....well, here I am ranting on. Take care and talk at you soon.

Handmade Christmas

Last year we decided to do a "comerical" Christmas and bought all of our gifts. My grandson told my daughter that he liked it better when we had homemade Christmas. This year my husband and are are buying antique chairs and painting one a John Deere green and making the seat out of John Deere fabric. The other we are doing a bright red and using Coke fabric. I am making pillowcases for everyone from fabric that depicts things they love. I am also making aprons for all my sister-in-laws and fruitcakes that I just baked today. I am doing Rag Dolls for gifts and P.J.'s for the grandboys. Fleece hats for all. I think this will be a Christmas to be remembered.
