Sunday Show off

Author: Miranda /


Good day! I wasn't sure what to entitle today's post. So I decided to show off some things I have just finished. The boys were extremely good for me this morning so I was able to get some of the oven towels i had sitting by the sewing machine done. I also got my stitchery done, the one I created the pattern for. I still need to get it framed, but would love your feedback on what you think of it. I plan on framing it with a frame made of old barn wood. I will post the finished pick when I have it done. The picture is actually lighter than what it is, I didn't have the greatest natural light since it's cloudy outside and had to use my flash.


Here is just a sample of what I got done, they are all available in my etsy shop though.













Mom and dad stopped by yesterday and took us to lunch and then spent the afternoon here with us just relaxing and enjoying the kids. Mom left me some osnaburg fabric to try my hand at the stitchery she has been doing...you can check them out at her blog http://www.brensbusyhands.blogspot.com/. Now I just have to find a pattern and see if I can do it. I love how hers have come out and hope that mine look even half as good. The boys absolutely had a blast while they were here and the girls got to run around a bit and let off some energy. Of course Samson was none to happy and seems to be recouping today...think he got overstressed yesterday cause he is just laying around today. Poor guy. Maybe letting them run around in his living room was a little too much for him. lol




I am also starting another shawl to put on the etsy store, can't wait to get it done, it is simple but trimmed with fun fur. I love that stuff. I think that will be what i work on this afternoon as I do laundry and other cleaning things. Ryan is workin on getting our windows weather proofed with the window insulating kits that we got at Lowes. Hopefully that will make a difference in our heating bill.


I also want to help promote my friends new etsy store. Village Peddler Graphics, she does fantastic work at a reasonable rate. She created both my blogger header and my etsy store header, she does other graphics as well. Check her new store out at http://www.geske2be.etsy.com/


That seems to be about it for today. Stay warm and keep busy crafting!

Frigid Friday

woke up to 0 degree weather this morning and had a high of maybe 20 which is rather cold for Tennessee. For DH as well as he had to go under the house to fix a leak we had in the pipes. Then it was off to Lowes and Walmart to pick up the things he needed to fix the leak, weather strip the doors and get the window kits for weatherproofing. Ate at Subway in WalMart and I got a few groceries, and a couple of items I needed for crafting and then home we went. Ryan back to under the house and the boys down for rest and naps. While they were doing all that I was workin on Connor's scarf, i did promise to make him one and yes I got it finished today...he loves it as you can see

I am now tryin to decide if I want to start on my stitchery pattern I made or a new shawl to crochet. It will probably be the stitchery because I am curious to see how it will turn out for my first pattern.


I also made up some Brownies N A Jar for my etsy store...so easy and fun to make...


I have been gettin a few views in my store, but only one sale so far....but i have only had it open for about a week so I know it takes time. I will just keep workin on my projects and I know that someone will stop and find something they can't live without...:)

That is about all I have today,not very exciting, I will hopefully have more to post about this weekend.
