Creations In Progress


I visited the shop over the weekend to collect any fall creations that did not sell. While there we decided to remove all my creations that had not sold & start with new creations. I had this school bag made & a few stitcheries to show the shop owner. I left these creations with him & left with ideas for some new creations that his customers have requested. One being the primitive bonnets to hang on peg racks. This not being a creation that I have mastered yet. I am not happy with the pattern I purchased. It just ties & hangs. I want a pattern that will make a bonnet that can really hold its shape & be worn if one might just want to wear it to visit the garden to do some weeding or gather the eggs from the chicken coop. I will be taking the removed creations to the other shop. Rotating my unsold creations from shop to shop will keep both shops looking refreshed & give me a better chance selling.

An angel stitchery to bring a smile to someones face this Valentines.

I have not decided if this doll will be a female or a male. My first time to make this type doll. It has been a lot less work than my usual type doll. Clothes are yet to be made. I wanted to offer a new look in the shops.

I roasted a turkey today for what turned out to be a dinner for two. Lucas went away soon after he & Sam came home from school & Laken left right after she came from work. Laken is still using Moms truck for getting to & from work. So it was Sam & I who enjoyed the turkey dinner. With all the turkey & broth I think I will can it tomorrow.

The kitchen is clean & tidy for now. Time to light the fireplace to get warm & cozy while we watch a movie & I get back to my creations.

Blessings Til Next Time!
