It is 7 o'clock and we are all stuffed!

The food has been put away, the dishes are washed, the kitchen looks clean again, no sign of all day cooking, like there was never anything done! We are all stuffed, isn't that what it suppose to be. While I was eating my wonderful meal, I thought about the many people who did not have such pleasure today and have all the food what we had. Sad indeed!
We bought this year for the very first time an organic Turkey, normally we do buy Butterballs, but we thought we would give it a try and see how it is and it was so delicious, very natural tasting, none of that injected stuff. I have to say, it made a difference. I think we will spend a little bit more, but we know we have something not treated. We had candied yams, mash potatoes and red cabbage and of course that wonderful stuffing. And we cannot forget the Cranberries. We also decided this time not to do dessert, no room! I didn't even make anything, very hard to believe!I think we saved ourselves from a big belly ache.
I wanted to have a small freezer chest to put out in the garage for many years and never gotten around, so for the very first time in the history of this household, we are going out tonight and doing a shopping trip right when the doors open up and get our freezer chest $60.00 cheaper than other stores, I do hope that will be a good idea, we will find out. And than we want to buy a new TV, so we have to stay inline again at 4:30 in the morning, I guess we are not getting alot of sleep tonight. Are we crazy? Maybe! I am answering my own question, isn't that funny! We might change our mind down the road and don't leave that cozy house or bed after all.
But a bargain is a bargain ad if you can save money, thank goodness we don't have to go far or battle big traffic.
Shopping here we come!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Just got done with making my cranberries, the stuffing and red cabbage. The stuffing will be baked tomorrow in the oven, I make a bigger batch, what doesn't fit in the turkey will get baked, the kitchen smells wonderful.
Each and everyone, have a wonderful day, enjoy the meal with family and friends!

A thank you to all my new and loyal customers!

I had a wonderful show last Saturday, so many people came and admired everyones creations. The Show was held in an Elementary School and the lady who organized the show, did a wonderful job. She took over from someone else. I was told the Show has over 260 people on the waiting list, boy am I glad I am in!
It was a good show and very successful and it made my day getting so many wonderful comments on my creations. I had many new and repeated customers, thank you! I put my heart and soul in all my whymsical handmades, because I love what I do and everyone tells me it shows. Isn't that the best what can happen to an Artist? Yes, and I am calling myself an Artist! So now I have to be busy and plan already for next years events, so many ideas and hopefully I have plenty of time to do all this. Many requests for making more gift tags, these are my best sellers, more red Santas. Well, I better lupricate and oil my sewing machine.
I have one more show in two weeks, hard to believe that is it!
I haven't listed in a while anything in my Etsy store (Dollymama2.etsy.com), but I will soon, I have some beautiful Santas and many other things, which are looking for good homes!
Will post pictures later from my table display.

I wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving!

Here comes Santa Claus!

I finished these two for my show tomorrow. My husband made a stand for them, so you can take them off and sit them down or just standing them up. The beards,eyebrows and hair is all needle felted into the fabric, no glue! I do not like to use glue, because it makes the wool roofing really nasty and hard.
If I do not sell them, I probably will put them on Etsy. Haven't listed anything for a long time, I guess I should give it ago again.

another post, wow that makes 3 today!

o.k. I promise, that will be my last post for today.
I want to announce a wonderful giveaway from Jody over at http://sweetbearcreekwhims.blogspot.com, you will have time until the 21 November to put your name into this giveaway, a lovely gingerbread dollie with the sweetest face! So hop on over and participate!

Pictures of my table display!

In my last posting I mentioned I will download the pictures of my table display from my craftshow this weekend. I had two tables and an excellent spot for selling my creations.

My first craft show was not to bad!

I had a very good two day craft show last weekend, it was very well visted and I was pleased. I had two tables with all my goodies, will post pictures of my display soon. I had new and repeated customers and many compliments. Thank you very much, I did appreciate your business. It is so nice,when you hear something like that. I had planned many more creations this year, but life got sometimes in the way to do so. I have already many ideas for next year, including the release of my first pattern/kit for my little snowman heads. Should be fun!
