Saturday morning!!

Ugh how the heck did it get to be saturday already? Im still half asleep sitting here, sat up on the laptop in bed last night reading Joker's updates on Big Brother just to see who won the power of veto!! Okay... 3am is when I got the results and I am freaken tired now!!!

I took yesterday off due to my house crying for some attention. The vaccuming was overdue by a day or two( with five indoor cats it has to be done at least every other day if not everyday). Then those forever piles of laundry that seem to never get smaller , and when they do... they grow faster than a weed!!! Always something that needs to be done inside....and well we won't even mention the weeds I need to pull outside!!! That will be another day for sure! Steve and I spent the last two days also getting financing for Shane to get a car .... yep that boy is making payments on something worthwhile now!!! Beautiful little car though and he is very happy!!!

Finally late on thursday evening I was able to get my poppy dolls listed and ready for sale. Was a very good morning yesterday to wake up to several items selling right away!! Wish I had more made!!! So today I am working all day..... EVERYONE in this house better leave me alone!!! Heres the newest pumpkin doll available on Lemon Poppy Seeds....

Tuesday ho hum....

Wow tuesday,, hmm I didnt say that with enthusiasm... for some reason I just can't seem to get in a groove today. I woke up fine, the day started off fine but seems the day is over and I don't feel I've accomplished much of anything!!! I finally finished Pippin up for auction on ebay... whoooo hoooo!!! After much contemplation with my sister in law, Linda of Simple Tresures, I finished her... thanks for the ideas Linda.. I'm sure I drive you crazy at times!!!

So now what?? I have another pumpkin doll,, guess she will go on Poppy at the end of the week. I have a little spider guy I need to finish and well I have Christmas items laying on the floor with no clothes.. YEP NAKED SANTAS!!! Maybe they will find some clothing on them by the end of the week if they are lucky!! Other than that... thats my day.. Im ready for it to be over.. sleepy bugs are calling my eyelids!!!

A Beautiful Day!!!

Steve and I took a drive out to the ocean today to get a bucket full of sand . It was simply a gorgeous day!!! For those of you who know the Oregon coast days like these are few and far between especially warm ones!! As you can see the fog bank hangs in the background. By the time we got back home the fog had arrived inland. Was nice while it lasted!!!

Besides the ocean today I sewed and sewed!!

Meet Veneta and Hildagarde...both are for sale

on ebay this week. Now I need to get busy on something

else... I havent a clue yet what that is but I will post when I know!!!

A Bushel and a Peck... LOL

Don't ask me why that came to mind other than my mom used to say something about a bushel and a peck......and since I was picking blueberries today I guess it hit on a memory or something. Yes I picked blueberries today!!! First time I have ever done it...didn't even know what kinda plant they grew on. My dear friend Lynn , her daughter and I picked for a little over 3 hours. As you can see I have some freezing to do now but oh my these little guys are yummy!!!

I finally finished Gruntilda this morning and got her listed before I left to pick berries.... I love how she turned out..... her sister sits on the floor as I type this ....wondering when she will get hair and a hat.... I dunno is all I can say!!! Maybe tonight after I do everything else I should've done today and didn't!!! So on that note.... I gotta make my dreaded trip to Walmart for freezer bags so I can freeze these blueberries and then figure out what the heck to make for dinner tonight... or is this a go out night??? Until next time.. have a great day!!!

WHOOAAAAA NELLY!!!!

Yesterday was a pretty uneventful day tried to sew as much as I could. UNTIL Steve came home!!! We just bought this 27 foot white trailer you see in picture one.. this is filled with 3 newer snowmobiles to add to our 4 we have. Probably weighing 4000lbs. Steve had backed it up into his spot, honked the horn for me to come out of the house and started to release the hitch on the trailer from the truck. So Laresa and I walk out the door and up the hill to look at our new purchases while Steve is busy playing with this hitch he can't get to release. Laresa and I walk around to the back and the jack releases and the trailer starts to roll towards us!!! I swear I saw my life before my eyes in a split second,,,, we run out of the way to see the trailer slowly going backwards down the hill and here is Steve at the front,, grabbing onto the jack that is still dragging on the ground,,, like SUPERMAN he thinks he can stop this object!!! OH MY GOSH the funniest thing I ever did see and he is just yelling OH SHIT!!!! In the meantime Im thinking you idiot and hoping this trailer is going to stop moving as I hadnt even looked inside to see the purchases!! Luckily behind the trailer on the hill are blackberry bushes and pine trees ( the second picture shows how thick they are..) and it happens the blackberry bushes are thick and they stopped this trailer as otherwise it was all downhill hit and miss pines trees with a creek at the bottom.... It truly couldve been a very, very bad ending to our new purchase! So that was our excitement last night... I laughed so hard ,,, good times since nothing got hurt!!!

Keeping the Faith......

As I start today and I look back at the week my newest auction couldnt be named anything different than Faith. I worried all week about Shane leaving for bootcamp and something just kept bugging me about it, I couldnt eat, just felt sick about it all. See he had planned to go in the reserves until he found out it would be at least four to six years before he could go active duty and even at that it would be hard to do. My son wants this as a career not just a weekend a month adventure. So having said that... I prayed, and prayed knowing my faith would get me through this trying time. Well yesterday he called his recruiter with little time to spare and was able to change to active duty. So although I know he still will go through bootcamp it won't be for a few more months or longer and when he does go it will be what he truly wants to do. So FAITH was named.

Now I need to get busy with other items.... I'm feeling better now as life seems to get back to some normalcy. Until tomorrow!!!

My wonderful award!!!

I've been honored with a wonderful surprising award!!!

Thanks so much to Cathy at Primitive Peddlers!!
