Primitive Mom of Two

Well Saturday was Circus Day! And it was a grand day for sure. The boys were absolutely awe struck at the Circus, from the performing dogs, horsed, tigers, and elephants to the high wire acts, trapeze artists and the multiple other acts they crammed into 2 1/3 hrs. I believe the motorcycles in the steel cage was Connor's favorite. Besides the Cotton Candy and Funnel Cake of course.They had up to 7 in that spherical cage at once. Definitely a lot of talent at the Circus. Connor keeps saying the Circus...the greatest show on earth. Think we may have to make this a yearly tradition. We had good seats, there really isn't a bad seat at the Sommet Center.

The rest of the weekend was a relaxing weekend. Laundry, cooking, playing. I did get a little bit of crafting done. I have entered a valentine's contest on etsy forums. Each seller enters one item and then we all win something...a fun way to see more crafters and get something in return. You can find the thread here if you are interested..http://www.etsy.com/forums_thread.php?thread_id=6008581 Also if you just post on the thread you can win a cute set of bug crayons made by Elizabear, you can visit her store at http://www.elizabear.etsy.com/. Here is a picture of what I entered.

Well it is gorgeous here. Sun is shining, mild breeze, and 60 degrees!!! Though it won't last long, tomorrow is back to 40 degrees. Hopefully not too much wind, cause we will have to walk about 3 blocks to the circus with the kids. Yep less than 24 hrs till Circus time.

Well I did get my two stitchery done and framed today. They are pictured above and available in my etsy store. http://www.primitivejunkie.etsy.com/. Take a look, I have a few other things available in there as well. Now to figure out what to do next. I still need to try the stitching on osnaburg that my mom showed me. Just haven't found a pattern that jumps out at me.

Connor also found a lady bug in the house last night. I tried to get a good picture of it, but kinda hard to get a picture of something so small. Ryan thought he remembered something about having luck if you found a lady bug in your house. Let's hope that's true!!

On the etsy side of things I have joined a group that is doing something pretty cool. It's a contest to win a $20 gift certificate to one of 50 stores. The link to the thread is here...http://www.etsy.com/forums_thread.php?thread_id=5994217, all you have to do is reply in the thread, each reply is worth one entry. There's more information in the thread, but it is a great group of shop owners.
