The Kindness Of Others!

I consider myself a blessed person with the friends I have and have had in my life. I am always amazed by the kindess that others show me. I have met many wonderful folks here in the land of www but one I must honor today is none other then Victoria Lynn of Kentucky Primitives.

Last week I went to Victoria's site and saw that she had this wonderful olde time cotton batting listed on her site.

Long story short I was having internet/p.c. issues and I couldn't order it. So I emailed her and asked to order some. She requested my addy and shipped it off. I waited for the invoice to come and sent her a note. She said nope- it is on me along with many glowing words of kindness and well it gave me a big head for a minute.!!!!

Then her sweet package arrived with more glowing words of kindness. Now I do NOT know what I have ever done to deserve such sweet words/kindness but I had tears in my eyes when I read her note.

So from the bottom of my heart Victoria thank you!

She has added many wonderful goodies and patterns to her site. I am making her sheep for my show and can't wait to do them. so off to work I go my friends.

TEACHERS PET

SOLD

Little Orville is such a stinker for teasing Ms. Red Embacker with that Candy corn. Which just happens to be her favorite candy in the whole wide world. I don't know, do you think he is gonna get away with it? He is after all the teachers Pet!

This is one of those designs that makes me giggle. I was on the phone with a friend and I kept cracking up as I was working on. I recall she called me a big goof! LOL After this week a giggle was nice for a change.

INFACT!!! I must credit Tonya of Back Porch Pickins for the candy/corn/teasing part of this design. I had the design almost done with the mouse/title- but was kinda stuck on the what "else" part. She came in and saved my day. LOL

This piece will be listed for sale Soon! Keep watching for details.

Till then may the Lord bless you and keep you.

Time

Hands of Time they matter not.

When one is deeply in thy thoughts.

Dawn turns Dusk and then again.

Time is foe and yet a friend.

By P.E. Saathoff Sept 26, 2008 In loving memory of My Aunt Valene Duffy

Time was not a friend to me today as I found out my Dear Aunt Val passed away. She lived a good long life and passed peacefully and I should be happy at that. But somehow it is more bitter then sweet at this moment. It is the ones who are left with the memories and sorrow that face yet another day either joyfully or bitterly that are on my mind.

I will try and sleep tonight and let tomorrow bring sun or rain. But either way it will be decided for me before I rise.

Till then my sweets sleep well.

Hugs,Pea

Marley~A Special Order~

SOLD
I finally got this special order done. I had to do him just a bit different from the pattern but I must say that this pattern of Soft in the head is a wonderful pattern and Pam is a very clever designer on many points. Thank you Pam! I am pleased with him, and so is the customer so that is what matters most. He makes me chuckle at his grumpy face.

Now I have website stuff to get done did I say Quick? Like lightning. So Offffffffffff I go my friends. Till next time.
Hugs,Pea

Fat Jaks blog give away

Jackie of Fat Jak Originals is having a wonderful Give away. She has three creations that you get to choose from and customize especially to your taste. Now how awesome is that? That is wonderful of her. Especially in the midst of her going through a flood recently. Damage in her basement and loosing precious treasures. Please go peek at her wonderful creation. A artists touch for certain.

I am busy hard at work with my special orders. I am seeing the end of the tunnel and ready to start working on a new pattern. I am very excited about that.
Well my friends I do have to get back to work or I will never get anything done.
Have a wonderful evening.
Hugs,Pea

Scarlett~ WINTER'S WITCH

SOLD

Well I had every intention of listing Scarlett~ Winter's Witch but she was seen by a customer and she had to go live with her. I really pulled out all the stops on this little gal. She has 2 hats, yep, 2 hats for 2 different looks, a banner/flag, and sweet purse too. Did I mention her little shoes. They are so sweet. I would have kept this little gal but I am thrilled that she sold so quickly and is going to such a good home. I have to Thank Tonya for the color choice on this little gal. I had the idea for Winter's witch and she said black and red. It all came together in Montana when I found that striped fabric. Thank you my friend.

Now I have nothing for ebay... Oh well not going so well there this week anyway. Maybe I can get one thing done for ebay this week. We shall see.

I have lots to do and don't get it done when I am here, so am off to play and work, work and play.

Have a wonderful week my friends.

Hugs,Pea

grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Just found out that the dingleberries at EBAY have removed the art doll and primitive pulse pages. WHAT THE HELL FOR? It is ART for crying out loud. Well a form of art. Just major suckage as far as I am concerned.
They are making it loud and clear that they don't want our form of art on their site. Well they don't get how much of OUR money they GET!!! The fat lady hasn't sang yet but someone needs to fire the CEO!

MIGRAINS!

I hate migrains and I get them now and then. It seems to come at the worst time too. I was rushing to get my dolly done for ebay and low and behold I woke up with the dirty bugger yesterday. I worked through it till about 5 :30 and then I could not work through it any longer. I was sick to my stomach, head was swirling like a roller coaster and thought i would pass out in my studio with a needle or something worse in my hands. I grabbed a wash rag- nice and cold and hit the couch. I layed there dead to the world till about midnight this morning and got up and ate cereal, I hadn't eatten yesterday feeling yicky. Took the big kahuna meds & went back to couch and out again till 8:30 this morning. MY GOD! Got some sleep anyway. Now I am a rushing like a mad woman to get all my goodies done today and this weekend finishing up all my orders. I hate listing on Thursday but thursday is better then not at all I guess.

Have a good one and be posting this sweetie sometime today. Hugs,Pea

Pea HIT THE JACK~POT!!!

My Group WSOAPP has been having a Fall/ Halloween swap. I was the lucky gal to get Karmen from Crows in the Holler.
She does lovely work and boy did she ~SPOIL ME!~

I received this lovely dolly which I love. Well wouldn't you? She is so pretty and a witch as well and I collect both. Plus a little clay pumpkin bucket too. How darling.

Then she sent all these other wonderful goodies along with her. The rusty pumpkin and cinnamon candle, Yummy chocolates which disappeared very quickly- LOL and wood acorns.

The acorns now that was kinda funny. You see my family is German. The Germans believe that acorns are a sign of luck and prosperity. I love acorns! They are one of my favorite things to study. So that was very touching. Then if that wasn't enough she also sent this cool battery candle light. I love candle lights and candles as well. So from the bottom of my heart Karmen. Thank you so very much!!!

Big hugs,Pea

SNOW BUNNY SHAKER

STILL HOMELESS!
Sometimes things just fight me and this week was no exception. I guess I do try too hard. I hate and love deadlines. I like them because they keep me on track but I hate them cause they sneak up on me.. LOL
I had the cutest little dolly planned for my Pfatt Marketplace this month but she is holding out for another day I guess.

I managed to get this sweet little bunny done thanks to a little help from a friend. Thanks!:)

My swap stuff is complete finally and going out the door to my very patient partner. Thanks so much deb for being so patient with me.
Have a good one everyone. I am off to clean a house, so I can sneak away to create this evening.
Hugs,Pea

GRAND OPENING

Go check out all the wonderful works of art!

Miracles for Mallory

I finally got my piece done for the auction. I had it almost done late last night and about 4 inches from being done, I ran out of thread. I was so upset and do you think I had a extra of that DMC color?-nope! So off to the store this morning to get home and finish it up.

I chose to do a penny rug rather then a dolly. There are so many wonderful doll Artists that will have their dollies up for auction, that I decided I needed to do something in wool. I do love working with wool and this piece is so much fun.
A pattern from Stacy West was used to make it. I think it turned out very nice and hope it does well for this worthy cause.
Please take a moment on the Sept 7th and peek at the offerings. I know there will be wonderful offerings from the best of the best!
Have a wonderful weekend. I am back to work.
Blessings,Pea

Well I think it is time for dinner. Haven't had a thing since noon and about starved.
Till tomorrow have a good evening.

Frogetta 2

STILL HOMELESS:(
Hello My friends,
It seems that my days are going too fast and I am still moving in slow motion. Don't know what the problem is but seem to find high gear. Somebody come give me a jump start! LOL
I did manage to get another frog done. I like this one as much as the first. Couldn't resist that silly sign. Oh so cute. Makes me giggle. Inspired by Soft in the Head as was the first.
Have a great day everyone. Back to find my high geer. Maybe some sugar will help.
