Good Monday Morning All!
We had a super busy weekend, but I did manage to get a few new things painted. As you all know I just love doing these primitive mouse pads, and since I have customers asking for new designs, this is what I came up with. I will be starting on fall and winter designs here soon, so if anyone has any requests, just drop me a note or leave a comment, and I will see what I can create for ya. This particular design was based on one from Susan Burd......with my own personal twist of course.


Can't you just see this basket, hanging on your front door to greet guests? I use mine on my patio to hold insect repellent, sun screen, and all those little outdoor necessities that we all need outdoors. It could hold gardening gloves, garden tools, seed packets, oh my the ideas are endless!
This design is from Kim Klasson, and I love the way it turned out.


Last but not least, another primitive mouse pad. This again is one of my own creations, but I took elements from a John Sliney design. Please excuse the shadow in the photo.......early morning picture taking today.
I am hoping to have more things to share with you in a couple days. I can't believe it is almost time to start thing fall and winter. So enjoy this beautiful summer day, and until next time.........
Blessings to All....and thanks so much for visiting my blog!

Just Had to Show Ya!


Good morning Gals!

I hope everyone is going to have a super weekend! It is raining here...AGAIN! I think we had one dry day this week, so I am more then ready for a little sunshine. My plans were to get out and get some more tweaking done around our house for the summer, but in the meantime I wanted to show you what I got in the mail yesterday.


I have wanted one of these table top benches, for what seems like forever. I got this one from Denise at Sawdusty's over on Etsy and I am just thrilled with it. Knowing me, I will be tweaking this piece often, but for now, I just love the way it looks. Most of the things in my home have some kind of meaning......they were either gifts, or things that were a part of my family. The display on the tabletop is no exception. Both of these pieces were given to me by people that are very dear to me, and I just love thinking of them, every time I sit at my table.
Well that is it for today! I hope you all have a great weekend, and get a spare moment to do something good for yourselves. I am off to work on a couple more projects, and then tomorrow is my grandson's piano recital, with a gathering afterwards, so it is already a full weekend.
Blessings to All.......
