Well today has been a good productive day.... I listed my large angel and a small santa. Now will they be successful and sell on ebay??? Oh one never knows this year. With this election looming and the doom and gloom of our economy and the media I think making it seem even worse ...its going to be a thin Christmas this year!!! But I keep plugging away doing what I love to do. I have a million things I want to do and seem to not getting much completed. Alot being made and not completed these days!! So I plan to finish items tomorrow... prepare for the updates on Poppy and WSOAPP.
Things seem to be getting better in the household... taking deep breaths where the kids are concerned and trying my hardest to get Shane studying for the Coast Guard. I think the Marines is still in the back of his head as his easy way in..and his stupid thinking that it would be fun. OH my!! The last thing in this wonderful world that can be considered fun!!! So I keep pressing forward with my talks of this messed up world and the uncertainty of our military and all they have to go through and see. I know others are fighting for our country and I am proud of them....Im just not ready to have my son fighting in another country. Well enough said... slowly I think my words are sinking in....time will tell!!!
Onward to the sewing room once again!!! So much to do so little time!!!

I think I'm tired........

Wow what a day it has been... I am so tired of boyfriend/girlfriend problems!!! This takes so much out of me.....Top it off with housework that is never complete and trying to get my son to study for asvab tests is enough!!! I need a break!!! I did manage to finish this wonderful Santa,, oh how I love this guy as the picture just doesn't do him justice. Using an old baby coat I have had here it worked out perfectly for him to wear... he is very regal sitting there. I also finished another santa holding a stocking... Another one of my larger santas which I will probably not make alot more of. With postage and the time making him I will probably concentrate on more of the smaller varieties. I have three more dolls laying naked on the floor here in hopes of getting dressed in the next day or so. One to be another angel in a long baby gown, I am excited to get her finished.

Another week and Lemon Poppy Seeds will be updated with ornaments and hopefully a couple dolls and on the 7th WSOAPP will be updated with ornies and dolls and for the first time for me... We will be having a Open House giveaway to anyone that enters.... If you choose to enter my personal giveaway all one has to do is go to my blog on the Whispered Sisters of a Primitive Past and enter in my add to mailing list. I will draw a winner and you will be notified in the month!!! I will be posting a picture here and also on my shoppe on the 7th. So ... although I've been kinda busy with all the problems in life I seem to get some of my sewing done,,, oh well if the laundry sits on the couch folder or not folded, or a bed isn't made, or the bathroom needs to be cleaned.... My house is lived in and primitive!!! Just no surprise visits from anyone!!!

Productive....???????????

The day started out wonderful, I woke up to rain!! I love rain, I love staying indoors and working when it rains. BUT it stopped, sad to say and that dang sun came out ! OH I cant wait for winter to come, its my favorite time of year!!

On another note... I did get two dolls listed on ebay, one is Faith my angel and another is my woodsman santa. Pleased with the finished products other than it looks to me I need to fix Faiths wing,,, I think she has a lopsided look here!!! LOL. She is already listed on ebay but she will be fixed before it ends!

Alot is going on in my life right now and its amazing I can stop to sit and sew at all.... I keep plugging away in hopes it can take my mind off the insanity that looms over me. I sat down this afternoon and have about a dozen dolls in the making... PROGRESS??? Time will tell and I will be back to show the end product!!! Enjoy the rest of the day!!!

I'M BACK and getting busy!!!

OH so happy to be home and get back to sewing and updating!!! I spent a week in Indiana, beautiful weather and warm temperatures so different from home. This is a picture of the backside of my sisters log home. OH what I would do for that house!!! It is my dream home!! And the yard they have... well lets just say acres with woods surrounding them... just wonderful.

We played cornhole, and many games of Aggravation and that is exactly what it caused me. My mom and sis weren't so nice to me!!!

Blessings were seeing my brother and his family which I hadn't seen in years. It truly meant alot to me. He has two daughters that are just adorable!! If you follow SimpleTresures you will see how photogenic they are!!! Love those two girls!!!

I think everyday we did something, did alot of shopping!!! I bought things I cant find here on the west coast so was in heaven!!! I spent alot of money and even worse when I tried to get home overweight in my luggage! One of my favorite days was a little outing with Pam, Linda, my mom and I in the rural area of Indiana...driving on these narrow farm roads with a business out in the middle of nowhere. A Amish home where we went shopping in the little basement, no electricity and no working cash register. Everything done on ledgers and arithmetic done the old fashioned way. Very interesting way of life. Going down that road we passed Amish children at play during their school day, all various sizes in their dresses and boys attire... they all waved as we drove by. ADORABLE!!! An outhouse next to the small school, I just cant imagine living life like that in these times. Reminded me of Little House on the Prairie,,,, a hard life , but a simple life, so different from our hustled life and credit crunches. On that same outing I picked out my wool for santa beards, learned to needle felt with a cookie cutter base, and shopped!!! Some of the cutest stores in towns back there!

AS much as I loved my little vacation its now time for a reality check. Crunch time to get busy and sew and update my shoppes and ebay!!! Hopefully in the next day or so I have something to show in progress!!! Until then.... Have a beautiful day!!!

A few new items

I finished my poppy items late last night and updated. I am pleased at the little santa finished. Sometimes I envision something that looks nothing like I wanted it to and I hate it.. this one I was pleased with. Also added some mitten snowmen ornaments. With leaving in a couple days I feel I am limited to doing much of anything... so much to do and Im not doing any of it!!! Yes you guessed it... still no packing done, havent even got the suitcase out yet!!! Maybe sometime today I will at least get that done. I hope to update my WSOAPP tomorrow for the 7th as I will be gone when new items are to release. Just hope to have something to put in it!!! So better get busy here and do something productive!!!

Moving right along!

Moving right along is right!!! Another santa finished this evening and I couldnt be happier with the way he turned out!!! I still have one naked babe on the floor,,,she has been set aside for something special... not sure what but Im sure it will come to me in a whirlwind sometime and I will be excited to dress her. Until then she is pretty jealous of everyone else's attire here! This was pretty much the last of my new stuff on ebay to list before I leave on my trip. I have some smaller things Im working on for the shoppes and just hope I can finish those projects before friday. I hate when things are the last minute with me... I can procrastinate BIG TIME!! Heck wont even think about packing that suitcase til thursday afternoon, and yep will probaby forget something I really need also cuz I hate to think about packing early!!! Oh well..... thats just me, and will have to be this way cuz I aint changin my habits at this age!!! Onward to make dinner!!!

The days are flying by......

Amazing how fast the days are flying by now...not sure why the older you get the faster they go. I've tried to keep busy this week although I don't seem to have much completed,, seem to have alot of half finished things laying around in the creating room. I did manage to list the larger santa a bit ago... quite pleased with how he turned out. So much more I want to start or should I say finish before friday!!!

Yes.., Friday..., I fly off to Indiana on friday at the OH MY GOSH its early time of 6:40 am. Might as well not even go to bed thursday night! I hope its a pleasant flight , its one of those ones I don't get a first class seat in sad to say! I have been spoiled by my husband and hate flying in the back of the plane anymore. Anyways... I will be gone from Oct. 3rd thru the 12th so nothing here will probably be updated unless I can bother my sis in law or sister to let me use their computers. Not sure how much will be finished in the month of October by the time I return either sad to say!!! But bright note... I havent seen my brother and sister in law in years so will be a nice visit,,, cant wait to go shopping, have coffee and enjoy JoAnns cooking!!!! Oh hell I will probably need to be on a diet when I return,, in fact they may not even let me on the plane,,, I may weigh so much I have to be charged for extra baggage!!! YIKES!!!

So since I now have a few more days til I have to be serious about packing I will try to sew as much as I can,,, try to update poppy and wsoapp before I leave so that will be done.... WISH ME LUCK!!!!?????
