A Little Disappointed!

I'm just a little disappointed in snowstorm "Bob." I was looking forward to a wonderful snowstorm.  The kind of snowstorm where you can't go any where.  I had my day or days planned out to work on wonderful creations, page through some wonderful prim magazines and maybe watch a movie.  Sorry to say things didn't go as planned.

Yesterday when I left for work ~ the snow hadn't started falling yet.

This is what our yard looked like when I left.

When I was leaving work ~ the snow was falling!!!

If you can say ~ it was Beautiful!!!

The snow was those big sticky flakes that stick to everything!

I thought ~Tomorrow is going to be a Beautiful day to be snowed in!!!

I have so many project to work on!

and some wonderful reads to pass the time!

Country Home ~ Collector's Issue ~ LOVE IT!!!

Country Living the British Edition

and of course Prims!!!

Awesome Book!

Congratulations to Wanda ~ Gatherings & Kerri ~ Calico Rabbit for being featured in the magazine!!!

Something fun!!!

Things didn't work out as planned.

When I woke up this morning  ~ There was no beautiful snow ~ just a slushy mess.

I did work on some creations and when I get them completed I will show and tell!

My other disappointment is last weekend there was a indoor flea market being held in Appleton.

Yippee ~ I been dying to go to a flea market ~ one of my favorite things to do. There was going to be 75 booths!!!

I don't know about you but when I think flea market ~ I think old, wonderful collectibles, vintage, junk, time worn etc.   I was so disappointed  ~ there wasn't very many booths that had the things I described ~ maybe 4 the rest of the booths was like going to a rummage sale ~ Really???

There was one booth there that was all kids clothing piled in a heap and a bunch of toys ~ Seriously???

This is all I found.

 So Sweet!

I didn't buy the sewing box for the sewing box  ~ I bought it for it contents.

Love old wooden thread spools!

This wonderful wood carved box was in there too!

It's snowing again ~ started late this afternoon!

I'm going to go do a little stitch'in!

Until next time

Stay Safe & Warm my Friends!!!

Sweet Surprise & Lets Go For A Walk!

I got a sweet surprise from the Love of my Life!

Aren't they Beautiful???

Thanks so much Sweetheart!!!

It snowed again last night!

So Chewey and I went for a walk on the walking trail behind our house.

It's not a sunny day but it's not really cold out and the snow is still lightly falling!

Come on lets go for a walk!!!

This is the covered bridge that you can see from my backyard and you often see pictures of it in my posts.

This is the back of my house  ~ viewed from the walking trail.

Thanks for taking a walk with us ~ I hope you enjoyed it!!!

Happy Valentines Day!!!

On Valentine’s Day, we think of people
who have cheered and encouraged us,
who go out of their way
to be kind and caring,
who have enriched our lives
just by being themselves.
You are such a person.
I’m so happy you’re my friend
Happy Valentine’s Day!

Snowing in Wisconsin!

Yep ~ It's snowing here in Wisconsin!

I think Granny Trace felt sorry for us and sent the snow our way!!!

But why today????   Don't get me wrong I love it when it's snowing but not today.

Today I was going to meet up with a fellow blogger Katie ~ aka ~ All The Boys

and do a little prim shopping ~ oh I was so looking forward to this.

But the roads are just not good to travel on today.

not to mention the winds and the temperature is dropping rapidly ~ 17 degrees.

So I guess today would be a good day to make some of these!

or

(Will be adding to my website soon!)

So today will be a day just to stay inside where it is warm and create!

I  have to do some finishes to some of these stitcheries I did.

 I also have some dolls to finish and work on some swap goodies.

Sorry Katie we couldn't meet today ~ hopefully soon!

What are you all working on today???

Until Next Time my Friends

Stay snug as a bug!

Got the Itch and Finished Creations!

Happy Sunday Everyone!

It's a Beautiful sunny Sunday here in WI ~ But it is quite chilly out there!!!

But any who ~  I have the winter time itch ~ This is the time of year when I start to yearn to go to flea markets and can't wait for them to start up again.  So off to the Antique store I go.

My girlfriend Diane and I went for a ride in the country and the roads took us to a small town called Pardeeville where we found a cute Antique store  called Pardeeville Wisconsin Antiques Mall.

(Yep I forgot my camera)  This place was one of the nicest antique stores that I have been in ~ in a long time.  The booths were set up so nice, some looked like little store fronts complete with little porches and some booths made you feel like you were stepping inside little log cabins.  The store owners were so sweet and they wrapped all of our treasures with such care.

 Here's some of the treasures I found!

Some treenware bowls, bobbins, springs, buttons, & wooden spools.

cutter quilt heart, cookie cutter, vintage gloves, and some old bottles!

I'm always on the look out for old and unusual glass jars and bottles.

Here's a close up of the two I got.

dog shaped candy dispenser jar with the candy still in it!

and

a baby bottle for twins ~ how unique is that???

I've been busy working on some Valentine creations and such to fill my booth back up after the holidays.  Here's what I've been up to.

Now my booth is starting to fill back up.

So tell me ~  What have you been working on???

I still have a few more Valentine creations to make and then I need to start working on some Easter items.

Well that's about it for today ~ I just wanted to pop in and say Hi and let you know I'm still alive.

I'm suppose to be working on my taxes ~ YUK

So I better get to it ~ not one of my favorite things to do!

Until Next Time

Stay Warm My Friend!
