Annie Ornie

Hello , I hope everyone had a wonderful week-end I know I ate my share of food LOL love that pumpkin pie it's one of my favorites yummy. We went to hubby's sisters Thanksgiving day and I cooked Thanksgiving dinner here Friday . That was a long day I was up at 4 am to go shopping with my two boys then spent 4 hours making the meal. When my head hit the pillow that night I was out but worth every bit of it .

Ice Skate Ornies

Hello , sorry I haven't posted much lately or been by to visit . I got sick a couple weeks ago and that turned into a nasty cold which I am just now starting to get over a little bit but still fighting it and I have been very busy sewing some ornaments the past few days .I thought I would show you one of them my favorite I think . When I was young I grew up on a farm and one of the things I loved to do was ice skate .I would find any frozen piece of water I could to skate on , one of the places I would find it was close to the cattle tank, water that had over flown which was not much but enough to make a young girl that wanted to skate very happy and I would stay out there until my mom made me come into the house it was always a treat when there was homemade hot cocoa waiting to warm me up after.
*
I went to a very small school in the country with about 63 kids in the whole school ,8 kids in my grade and every winter they would make a spot for us to skate they would build the structure and fire trucks would bring the water in and we would have to wait for it to freeze . I spent allot of time on that ice and the memories have remained with me today . every Christmas I pull a very special ornament from my collection that is placed on our tree it is a pair of skates my mom purchased for me at a craft show . Tiny skates made from white felt with red trim and a paper clip as the blades . when I put them on the tree I remember those days and I think of my mom and they bring a smile .
*
After seeing several different Ice Skate ornaments while looking around online it kind-of tugging at my heart I decided to set down and come up with my own and this is what I ended up with . I am playing around making different styles right now and even ended up making a pair of Santa boots from the pattern that I will show you later .funny how one thing can get you going and spark new ideas as you are working with it . so if you don't see me for a few days you will know I am setting at my desk busy making ornaments LOL I also want to make a large pair of skates for my front door and just might get a set done to put up on ebay that's the plan anyway :) I have a couple special packages I need to get finished up first for some swaps I am in which will soon be on there way :) OK I am off to run some errands then back to sewing Have a Blessed Day

Little witch annie ornie

Hello , just finished up this little witch annie ornie this morning and got her listed on eBay .
My daughter Natasha's birthday is tomorrow so trying to get as much sewing in today as I can hard to believe she will be 18 already ,my son Zachary turned 19 on Friday . I had them very close together only 1 year and 5 days apart I was a very busy mommy but then I still am LOL but my kiddo's are well worth every minute of it . They always get to pick out what they want me to make them for there supper and dessert Natte thinks she wants cherry cheesecake Yummy:) and still has not decided on what else yet all she knows is something with mashed potatoes so I guess I will be running to the store in the morning :)

She came home from school yesterday with all the information for her graduation in the spring she was mad she wanted a sunflower for there class flower it was on the list for them to vote for but it ended up being a white rose with purple tips I was hoping for the sunflower myself it has a special meaning to us but I figure we can still go with the sunflowers at her party why not that will put a smile on her face :)

lil snowgal

It is such a beautiful day here today I love when I can open the windows and get lots of fresh air . I just finished this lil cutie up this morning for a special order .I am working on another one somewhat like it to get up on ebay soon .Also working on another Wilber pumpkin guy today ,the one I sent off to a buyer on the 4th has not arrived to her yet :( lost in the mail somewhere I am guessing ughhh!!! so I am working on another to get sent off to her if the other one does not show up on her doorstep by the week-end. This is the first time I have had one of my packages get lost in the mail but I sent it parcel post I have never done that before I had to otherwise shipping would have been $30.47 due to the box being just about an inch over the size so they were going to put a surcharge on it yikes!!!! I went and talked to them Saturday to see if they could find anything out but they told me I have to wait two weeks from the day it was sent before they will do an inquiry on it and not to worry to much . All it says on the tracking when I check it is it was accepted here on the 4th nothing else so frustrating .has anyone sent parcel post before and had it take a long time I always send priority or first class so I am clueless .like that is anything new lol :) if anyone knows if this is normal please let me know .

Update 9-17 Mr Wilber pumpkin made it to his new home today safe and sound it took 13 long days but he arrived and is living with a very sweet lady in NY . I know one thing I am never sending a package parcel post again :)
