Primitive Mom of Two

Good morning all my friends in blogland! I don't have a specific shop to feature today as I am getting caught up on all my blog reading for this week so I want to share a couple of things from my life this week and also feature a couple of blogs that I LOVE to read! I have been in a quilting mood lately and want to share the quilt top that I finished from my quilt class. It's pictured below, I still have to pick a backing fabric and think I will attempt to quilt it myself later this spring/summer after I have practiced a bit on the sample blocks we were given in class.

This week both the boys had their Easter parties and boy were they fun, Thursday was JJ's party and though the Easter Bunny didn't hide eggs, he was nice enough to make getting candy easy for all the preschoolers. He simply left a "field" of candy for them to run around and pick up. JJ loved it! as you can see.

It was fun being able to be at and participate in both parties, thanks to a great friend here in town who volunteered to watch JJ on Friday so I could got to Connor's party! Cause sometimes it's better when Mommy can show up without little brother being drug along...:)

Now for a couple of blogs that I love to keep up with, though I may not always have time to post comments on them, I am reading them on a semi daily basis! The first one I enjoy reading is

This is such a fun and creative blog to read, with the quilt tops he makes and the creativeness of both he and his family! It's always an inspiration whenever he reveals his newest creation. And I want to throw out a congratulations on the newest addition to his family. ( they just had a gorgeous baby boy recently!)

Next on my list is

Brig has such a wonderfully well written blog and some her daily life stories will make anyone smile! I met Brig on etsy and not only does she have a wonderful blog, but a fantastic etsy shop as well. Feel free to check both out, her etsy shop is BrigaBauble

Lastly for today is

Now this blog is new, but it was created by my Mom! After being told not only by myself but by a lot of her own friends that she needed to start creating her own patterns and sell the creations she makes, she created this selling blog. Again it's in it's first stages, but go over, take a look, sign up to follow so you can be one of the first to know when she has new items and patterns available! I promise you won't be disappointed.

Now don't forget to sign up for my giveaway and take a look at my shops. www.primitivejunkie.etsy.com and www.primitivejunkie.artfire.com.

It's time to get around and ready to go to the store for groceries and supplies, I wish you all a very happy, sunny and creative day!

Hello all my blogland friends! I decided to title today's post Happy Friday! It has been a busy week here at my home and I am hoping next week I can get back on track with my normal daily posts, but the boys are on spring break so we will see how well that goes :)

Today I have to share some things with you. I participated in a laundry room swap over at The Pickled Pepper Patch, thanks to Char! Well yesterday I got my package in the mail! My partner was Marie over at Spun by ME and I just had to share what she sent me, it is all sooo great and her package was so primitive, she used pieces of old quilts and pieces of brown paper sacks to wrap things up and pack them in the box, so here is my show and tell....now isn't she just so creative!!

Now please excuse the shadows in the pictures, i took these rather quickly yesterday so that I wouldn't forget. But I am sure you see what wonderful things she sent me....I can't say enough about her creativity, I especially love the old labels she printed up for me. I have a few old fruit crate labels in my kitchen so this is very very cool to me. But I love everything, I can't wait to put everything up, my washer and dryer are in a corner of our back porch so these will cheer it up a bit. I will post a pic once I have everything situated.

Don't forget to sign up for my giveaway, you can click the button on the right to go straight to that post.

Also I have a Product Spotlight going on till Sunday in my etsy shop. You can get a discount and free shipping on specific items, go take a look www.primitivejunkie.etsy.com. And don't forget to check out my mom's selling blog, her button is on the left of the blog.

Have a great and creative day
