It has been a few days now since I have been able to get back in and say hello. Life just tends to get in the way of that somedays. It started as a rather dreary morning here but we are seeing some sunshine as the day prgresses, and maybe we can dry out a bit from all the rain we have had the past couple days. My garden is loving it though......hope to add some pictures soon.

Also I wanted to mention that if you love decorating in the primitive or country style, this Ebay Top 100 Primitive list is just full of wonderful artisians. If you have a brief moment today, check us out, and of course I would love your vote. To vote all you need to do is click the banner name of the shop you are interested in.

I have a rather busy day today as I am trying to get so many things done at once. I am headed out to the garden here in a few minutes to try and stay ahead of the weeds, and then it will be back in the house for more painting time. I have discovered that I really like to paint on canvas, so I have been working on a few primitive samplers. Many years ago, I used to do allot of cross stitch, but I just never seem to find the time to do that any longer, so I thought I would stitch my samplers in paint!

I am hoping to do a series of samplers for all four seasons, and of course for the Christmas season. I will be sure to post pictures as soon as they are finished. Well I have to go for now, the weeds are calling my name, and always I wish you all a very blessed day! Be back soon.......toodles.

I have had the best time playing with new ideas for my spring line of soaps. I was really going after a very prim effect, so this is what I came up with. I applied crackle to each one, let the black show through, and then antiqued, shaded, and washed, until they were very old in appearance. I really like the way they turned out. I have a crow, sunflower, pipberries, rusty tin star, black star and pips, and a willow tree. These soaps make the cutest little tuck in gifts to add to gift baskets, or I have had many customers purchase these as house warming gifts....just that little something. I am hoping to add to this selection with a line for fall, halloween, Christmas, and winter, so be sure to stop back by and see what new designs I have added in a few weeks........hope you enjoyed browsing!
