Is It Spring Yet?

Okay. I've been really lazy about this blogging thing. I spend and hour or so each morning reading lovely blogs, forgetting to leave comments and neglecting my own.

I thought I'd get a lot done when we were snowed in - wrong! All I wanted to do was curl up on the sofa in front of the fire and watch TV. I had several friends that said the same thing. I did get a new little bunny pinkeeper made the other day and got it listed on Etsy. I designed the bunny pattern myself and was surprised when she turned out the first time!

I've also been pre-occupied as my husband is going in for his 6th back surgery Jan.24th. He is having fusion this time and I hope he will have a successful outcome. It's miserable to live in constant pain.

I hope everyone is having a nice weekend.

Hugs,

Karen

Snowed in Again!

I should be able to get some crafty things made today as almost everything is shut down. I live outside of Knoxville and this is the most snow we've had yet in the six years we've lived here.

White Christmas

Happy day after Christmas! Here in Maryville, TN, which is just outside of Knoxville, we woke up to a white Christmas. And, it's still snowing the day after! Guess my daughter and I won't be going out to exchange gifts. We must have about 4 or 5" so far. This picture is in our back yard.

I know for those of you up north a few inches of snow is nothing. But I'm originally from Florida and snow is kind of a big event for me!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas.

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas everyone.

Dirty Santa

Isn't this a darling snowman couple? I won them in a Dirty Santa gift exchange a couple of weeks ago. I attended another Christmas party the next night where we also had a Dirty Santa gift exchange. My luck ran out! LOL I ended up with a very ugly ornament. Guess whoever brought that gift took the Dirty Santa thing too seriously!

House of Santa Mouse

Thought I'd share a few pictures from my last craft show. It was put on by the Blount County Arts and Crafts Guild, of which I'm a member. They call it The House of Santa Mouse. It was another great success, growing bigger every year.

The first picture is of my table. We had everything from country, fine art and beautiful jewelry.

Crafting Frenzy

My Thanksgiving company have left and I'm finishing up my items for my last craft show. Here is a sampling of my newest items. Another batch of mice pin keepers, another set of painted spoons, a few new snowman ornaments, hand painted snowman pendant slides with Swarvoski crystals (I had to buy a large magnifying glass), and Christmas stretch bracelets - some with a vintage charm. After staining my eyes on those tiny snowmen I had a bright idea! Paint them larger and reduce on my copy machine. Voila! Much easier. I have an order for fabric stocking ornaments, so that's my project for today. Next year I'll start sooner.................I always say that!
