New Creations

Well, it has been a while since I have posted anything on my blog. So I guess it is time to add some new items. I have been busy this winter trying out new ideas for my etsy shop and the local shops around here. Above are some of my new items.

January Jottings

Well, Christmas has come and gone once again, we've had the coldest winter in years in South Louisiana and I am getting around to making some new items for my local shops and adding some new things to my etsy shop. I added two of my cat shaped pillows for all you cat lovers. One is made from a great old quilt I found several years ago and the other is from a great piece of tapersty I've had for a while. I love to embellish the cats with vintage buttons, ribbons, silk flowers and any thing else I happen to have collected. My stash is getting larger and larger. I think I have more fun hunting for and collecting all my materials, buttons, lace, ribbon, charms and such as much as I do making the items. Anyway it's all about enjoying doing it, isn't that right?

Cookie Exchange

I just came back from our annual cookie exchange.  What fun!  We all brought six dozen cookies in beautifully decorated bags and boxes and all went home with six dozen cookies from some one elses kitchen.  I'm sure many of you do this too and isn't it fun?  If you don't I suggest you try it - if not this year then next.  We had a great meal and a style show, ( crazy outfits),  visited and caught up on what is going on in our friend's lives at this point.  This is a great way for women to get together during the holidays.

Creative Hands and Co. Craft Show

Have we had a weekend!  My talented friends and I had our first craft show in our little town and we were very pleased with the outcome.  My daughter Mary Elizabeth and I along with three of my grandchildren set up and decorated our booth Friday afternoon out at the Coushatta Indian gym.  We were back out there early Saturday morning to start selling.  Mary Elizabeth made crosses from wood, unusual sticks, wire and beads,  primitive Christmas tags, various   scriptures which were printed in the shape of crosses and manager scenes and names of men encased in computerized pictures of fishing and hunting scenes.  I had my dolls, pillows, santas, tea towels, button pins, blue jean purses, appliqued tote bags and etc.  My  Chole and J.T. sold old time woven pot holders, candy and brownies and Elizabeth painted kids faces.   People  came by to look and we had such fun catching up on what was going on in their lives.  They liked our things and bought many of them.  Thanks so much to all my friends for their support!.
