It Is Christmas Time!

It is time for Christmas and celebrating Christ's birth!  What a wonderful time of the year.  I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving with family and friends.  We have so much to be thankful for.  I always enjoy Christmas and everything that goes with it.  We are getting some fresh snow this morning and it looks wonderful!  The snow always makes it seem more like Christmas.  The sparkle of the lights off the snow really is a wonderful sight!  We have many blessings to be happy for this year.  Mr. P. is busy working in the wood shop and I just finished a large shelf to display a few oil lamps.  I still have a couple orders to fill and hope to get busy with them today.  Time goes by so fast!  It seems we are always busy and that is good.  We have also been busy enjoying family and friends.  I hope you all enjoy the holidays and celebrate every morning for the new day we have been given.  Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Beautiful Autumn Weather!

We have been so blessed this year with a fantastic summer and now a wonderful autumn!  The end of October and we have only had 3 frosts here in Ohio.  Mr. P. and I have still been busy with projects.  He is working on furniture orders and I have been working on my creations and orders too.  Miss Mildred Snow is my first snow lady of the winter.  She is waiting on snow to arrive!  Isn't she sweet?  The holidays are upon us and I will be taking down Halloween decorations in a few days and Christmas will arrive!  Love Christmas decorations!  The most wonderful time of the year!   Happy Halloween!   Have a great end of October and enjoy every minute we are given!  I love you all!

Our sale is just over a week away!

What is the old saying..."Time stops for no man..."  Something like that!  September is flying by and our next furniture sale is just over a week away.  No time to dilly dally and we have been working hard!  I finished the mohair pup Howard William and he will be making his way to his forever home soon.  I always hold my breath until they arrive home safely.  I also finished the locker hooking fish pillow for my grandson.  Another trip to buy more wood yesterday and I hope we can accomplish the things we plan to in the next week.  Working on a pumpkin locker hooking mat, 3 stuffed pumpkins, wooden pumpkins for my daughter-in-law, a fall blouse and an order today.  Every day is a new day and we always have to do our best to make it a good day!  Hugs and love to all!

July is flying by!

July already and summer is flying by!  I am busy working on orders and it is always fun to send off my creations to their new owner.  Yesterday CoCo Bean was gingerly placed in her traveling box and by tomorrow she should arrive home.  I always love to hear they are home and loved!  Working on a wooden painted scare crow today for a lady and an elephant order.  Last week we have a wonderful visit from my cousins on my Dad's side of the family.  It is always great to spend time with family and as we get older we realize how precious each visit is.  Safe travels to Don and Dessie!  Each new day is our day to enjoy and I hope you all enjoy your day!  Love you all!

Bucket Bench Cupboard made for an order.

July is around the corner!



Summer is flying by and it will soon be July 4th!  We have been so busy working, making and restoring furniture for the last 3 months.  Friday and Saturday was our Furniture Sale.  We had quite a large inventory and together with our great friends, Bill and Vickie and their wonderful handmade furniture, we had a great sale!  I will be posting some pictures of the furniture we have made and will continue to post pictures as we complete each piece.  I will also continue to make my mohair bears and animals but Fred and I love to spend time together in our work shop creating unique and one of a kind pieces.  Hope you like them!  Happy Forth Of July!!!!  Love you all!

June 24th and 25th furniture sale!!!

Seems every day we are given goes by faster and faster as we age.  Since Mr. P. retired almost a year ago every day is a blur!  I still get up at 5 am and try to make the most of each day!  We have been super busy getting ready for our furniture sale.  There will be a lot of other goodies at the sale too.  I think my new style bucket bench is my favorite as you can see the one in the picture waiting to be painted.  (Isn't Miss Kitty a cutie pie.  She always jumps in the pictures.)  I have been making bracelets, locker hooking mats,
bird houses, flower arrangements, a few prim dolls and crows, prim candle holders, prim wooden servers, shelves and so many more things I made in our wood shop.  Fred has been making prim industrial modern style end tables, coffee tables, breakfast table, hall tables and a lot of benches.  They are great!  I love the new style!  Never enough time in each day to create all the things I want to!  Some friends of ours will be joining us in the furniture sale as they make so many wonderful things too.  We will have refreshments and a prize drawing.  I am so excited! Every day is a brand new day that we can start new!  I love it!  I am starting to see my baby deer when their mothers are so kind to bring them close.  I feed the herd every day but until they are a couple weeks old they will hide them.  Last summer I had 4 or 5 at a time to baby sit.  They like to bring them and hide them by our fence.  That means I am stationed at the window watching so nothing scares them or bothers them.  I do love that job!  Such tiny little creatures.  There should be 4 sets of twins this time.  They are the most fun jumping and playing with each other.  When it rains the overflow at the lake is a great place for them to run through the water and kick their heels up.   The twins always have more fun than the single births.  Hope you are enjoying every day the Lord has blessed us with!  Love to you all!

MARCH: St. Patrick's Day, Spring and Easter!

We are well into March and riding the weather ride.  I love snow and secretly hate to see it go.  It always amazes me how it floats so sweetly down on to everything.  Every little flake!  Millions of little flakes!  They all join together to make a beautiful sight!  Last week we woke up to a wonderful heavy snow that covered everything.  It was breath taking!  An amazing sight!  It is not easy to drive in but beautiful to look at.  I am really looking forward to Spring this year and planting flowers to enjoy!  I have been very busy catching up on orders and doing some wood working too.  I found a wonderful old chest to re-finish and worked on it until I am so happy with the finish I achieved.  I love it!  I have some detail line work to do on it and I am excited to finish it!  The wooden bunnies are multiplying too and I have had several orders for them.  I love bunnies and they have multiplied all over the house!  It soothes my soul and brings back sweet memories to draw on a piece of wood and cut it out with my saws.  Magical!  Reminds me of my childhood and spending time with my sweet loving grandfather in his wood shop.  He taught me so much!  Fred and I took our first real vacation in 25 years a few weeks ago and it was heavenly.  Spent a week with the most wonderful friends anyone could ever imagine.  We had a fantastic time in Florida!  Now back to reality and sewing!  Miss CoCoMo Pauline Jo the pinkish snow lady was born last week and will be on her way to Texas soon.  I will be busy creating another one for an order this week and finishing a shirt for myself.  I have several orders to work on and I love orders!  So far this year has been very exciting and I am sure with the political debates it will be a whirl of antics, craziness and amazement the remainder of the year.  I hope you enjoy every minute of every day we are given!  Love you all!

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!

Happy Valentine's Day!  Hoping everyone is enjoying a wonderful day with their sweetheart and family.  Here is Ohio it is cold with snow on the ground.  Beautiful sunshine is amazing dancing across the snow and sparkles of snow glisten on the ground.  The birds and deer have been busy eating.  At minus 4 degrees this morning it breaks my heart to see them outside in the frigid temperatures.  Deary the deer comes after the others have eaten to lick every seed from the bird feeder.  It is her special treat!
 Funny how she learned that 3 years ago when she was a little one running around the yard.  She makes me smile!  We enjoyed a wonderful week last week with amazing friends on vacation.  It was a once in a lifetime trip and we enjoyed every minute!  Back to our wonderful home and our family.  The 3 grand boys are all growing like weeds this year!  Time sure flies and they have grown too fast.  Hugs and wishes for a wonderful month and always praise to God for giving us His Love!  Have a wonderful week!
