Pain in the Neck

This is me for the last 2 days. Wait, I know what you're thinking. I'm not the happy, cooking housewife. What am I referring to is the appearance of her having a stiff neck. It is very unnatural to have a stiff neck and pain. I feel like a robot.

I did hold my head upright enough to list this cottage. It wasn't easy.

I love how the pink and green go together. It reminds me of spring.

I will not be terribly upset if this cottage does not sell...just sayin'.

On the other hand, I will be terribly upset if this neck pain doesn't subside by tomorrow.
Ibuprofen, water, heating pad, and ice pack are my best friends today.

Hope you're having a fabulous day,

Julie

Candy Cane Ruffled Garland

Happy Saturday. It is a windy cool day in Hoosierville. It makes me just want to stay in all day, craft, and sip hot coffee.



A good way to use up some vintage craft ribbon I had laying around with no idea what I was going to use it for. Gathered up and all ruffly for you to hang on whatever you desire on it.

3 are in my shop..one with round buttons, one with rectangle buttons, and the last one with oval buttons. The buttons are where you want to hang your decorations on for your very personalized garland.

Almost forgot:
And a green one made for good measure for those traditional Christmas ornaments.

Hope you are nice and toasty today,

Sugary Sweet Overload

Short but very sweet post:

See Santa? He's watching you!


Peppermint Lollipop Tree


Cotton Candy Chimney Smoke



Peppermint, gumdrop, lollipop, candy cane, cotton candy, lemon drop..oh my!
My teeth hurt just looking at it all. These 2 can be found in my shop.

Can you believe it is almost Thanksgiving? I've been trying to keep up with my running, crafting, working, and now Christmas is on my mind. How about you? Do you feel the pinch?
Like it's closing in..so much I want to do...and know it will not all be possible. Enjoy the season.

Happy it's almost Friday!

Snow Happy

Sweet Sugar Cookies...these have to be my favorite pom poms so far.



Yes, that is a fake sugar cookie around this sweet bird's neck and Blue peppermint chenille stems for legs.


Mint green and Pink glitter cottage and how cute is that mini pink tree? Ready or not Snow is going to fall soon.

Visit my shop.


Hold the phone...we are interrupting this regularly scheduled blog for some sweet baby time! A little visit yesterday with my great nephew, Caleb. It was a pleasure to cradle him in my arms until he fell asleep.

3 Peppermint Red Bluebirds are flying south for the winter.
Sweet things in life...

A little needed pumpkin time before the trip southward.




Some more poses with Mr. Pumpkin. They are going to miss him but the warmer weather sure is calling their names.

WARNING: If you are Elizabeth..you may not want to view this last photo as I know you are not fond of scary Halloween. Close your eyes now and scroll quickly ...






Dear hubby cut these last year for my daughter and her boyfriend. Didn't they do a great job?!!









Happy Halloween

Peppermint Happiness Bluebirds

While I was making Elizabeth's baker's dozen of Peppermint Happiness Bluebirds..I decided to whip up 3 more for the shop.

They do somehow take on their own little personality


And for those who may have been waiting for more glitter cottages, two have been listed and hope to have more made before Christmas.


Believe it or not, Christmas is just around the corner.

Sunshine Birdie

A sweet girl I have known since grade school...never really friends. Facebook has brought us together and I now feel I can call her my friend. The internet is an amazing thing...just wish we had connected in school.
Sunshine Birdie has made his way to her home in Tennessee.


She is a Sunshine girl and Sunshine Birdie is now perched on her window sill to remind her of our long distance friendship and hopefully bring a smile to her heart.

May you have made sweet friends in this hectic internet world...
Happy Weekend,

Summer is Here!

Nineteen years and counting! My dh sent these beautiful red and yellow roses to my office on May 21. All the gals were envious of course.
