Happy Monday







What a great day! Beautiful sunshine. A bit chillie but sunshine just the same. Getting lots done. Including two items ready for my WSOAPP selling blog. I will be listing them this evening.

The first is a snowman door hanger. It turned out oh so nice. Just love it. May have to make one for me. tee hee. Frosty measures 18 inches and comes with a hanger on the back to hang on your door alone or in your fresh greenery wreath.
I am listing it for $40.00 with free U.S. shipping. Delivery confirmation will be included.

The second item is a wool Penny stocking. I stitched this entire piece by hand. I love the old fashioned feel and look to it. It measures 15 1/2 inches long. I am listing it for $25.00 with free first class U.S. shipping. delivery confirmation will be included.
If you are interested in either of these pieces you can email me at phillanes@yahoo.com

Well I am sure that you all will be happy that I had no packages arrive today! Bummer but the way it goes.* Wink*

I did however get somethings done. I made this wreath and have another one just like it about ready. I am also making the snowman version. I love how it turned out but have to scrounge through my own personal stash of greenery. :( I am out.:( don't like that one bit. I think this one is cute. I hope they do well but alot to them the way I did it.

I must get going. I received my oil order finally, so I must get busy with room sprays. Wish my fixens came in but that isn't gonna happen till monday. Did I mention that I hate waiting for supplies. LOL

Have a good one my friends. Got lots to make. More pics tomorrow. stay tuned.

Can you say S*P*O*I*L*E*D*?



Okay I admit it I must be spoiled and reallllllllllllllly spoiled to have my customer send me not one gift but two this week. I got my Ready Teddy Go and Company and I adore that but I guess it wasn't enough for my friend Alba. Just look at the sweet card and packaging. How very nice. It was wrapped in orange tissue and a gingham bow as well, but I ripped through that to get to my prize. LOL


She decided that I needed a new pinkeep and emery too. It came from The Daily Pinkeep on Etsy Just look at this sweet wool pumpkin and emery.. Isn't that darling. I am afraid to use it even though to not to would be a dishonor.
Her stitches are so tiny and just as close to perfect as one can get being handmade. Real even and tiny stitches at that. The gal that made it really has her nitch with needle and thread. A emery leaf too, how cool is that. Not many of us have them any more and I didn't have one with all the sewing I do. Nuts I know.


so Alba and Arnold. Thank you again. Everyone that receives a surprise from YOU IS spoiled that is for sure. Now off to get something done. Gonna be using my pinkeep today.:)
Hugs,Pea

JOY~ JOY~ OH JOY~



OMG my friends. I could just PEA- tee hee my pants.... LOL
Yesterday the post man delivered a package. A SUPRISE package. Ya see I am blessed with a customer that has become my friend. She is very good to her friends and well she BOUGHT me a present! Can you believe that? OMG, so anyway she went to a show and this little crabby carrot made her think of me... Mmmmmmmmmmmmm I do have carrot orange red hair and make shakers. Is she trying to tell me something? LOL If she is I am playing dumb! LOL


This clay sculpture is from Terri, she sent it herself. How cool is that and there was a special note from my friends.

Pea,
A special gift to you from Alba and Arnold.
Have a spooky Halloween.

Would you just look at that bitty little shaker. OMg I love this piece but that shaker-( I make so many of them) that little shaker cracks me up! Tickles my fancy. I love this piece but that shaker makes it something extra special.


I have to admit I have been like so many of you lately down in the dumps due to ebay and such. I guess my friends knew this would bring me joy, a giggle and love. Just what the doctor ordered my friends. Thank you so much. It cracks me up and reminds me not to be a crabby carrot any more. LOL



I spent the whole day running around errands and yesterday before my sweet surprise arrived I was a very crabby carrot. LOL My DH was playing with the dogs and broke my tart burner again. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. I had this cool stoneware one that looks like my german pottery. A birthday gift from a friend- Yeppers I have the best friends. Anyhoo Mike had broke the top on it. I liked this one cause I can place it on the wood stove and not have to plug it in or use a candle. it heats up from the fire. Well it took me months to find a top that would fit in it and the color. I did, took it out a hour before he broke it. MEN! Why is it always my stuff that gets broke? Never the kids or his. I was so durn mad that I threw a tubby across the room. I don't ususally do that but I knew it would make me feel better. I was thinking about throwing dh but he is a bit heavy for me.


So now to hunt down another stoneware tart burner. You see if it isn't stoneware it could crack under the heat of the wood stove. If ya see one let me know. I know that they are pricey so maybe I might make Dh pay for it. LOL



Have a good one my friends. Going to bed early for church tomorrow. Another day and nothing done. UGh but I will show ya something by monday hopefully.

Christmas Magic


I worked ever so Hard on this piece. It was a labor of love and am happy with the way it turned out. I took a wonderful pattern by Soft in the Head and tweeked it just a wee bit. Gave it a pea's touch. You all know that I can't do anything just the normal way. I have to twist things. ha ha.

This will be going for sale on one of my many websites. Details to follow in a few days.



Well are supposed to get the WHITE stuff. Along with some heavy rains. So I filled the water jugs for all their many country uses. Brought in wood for the wood stove and kindling. Straightened my cluttered house- yuck more to do but hey it is a start ;0

The joys of being a mom in charge of the house.

But I get to play hookie from all the normal things tomorrow. YIPPEEEEEEEEEE I am sneaking off with two friends with bumper shoot in hand and we are going to a big craft fair and hitting all the prim shops. Can't wait! I have to medicate myself to sleep tonight I am so excited tee hee but it will be worth it tomorrow. I will show you all my goodies in a few days.

Have a wonderful weekend my friend.
