Valentine Wreath

Danni from Silo Hill Farm has been prodding me to do a project, especially a Valentine's Day project that includes my cute heart shells.

OK Danni, here ya go! We all know how much you are into repurposing things, and reusing craft supplies over and over.

I used the wreath that I made for a simple coastal Christmas wreath and stripped off the rope and starfish.

The only thing I bought for this was the sparkly heart wand, which was $1 but at 40% off only 60 cents! I had everything else!

Simple, so easy, and took me less than 10 minutes to put it together.

I attached the heart shell to the sparkly heart with hot glue, after cutting the stick down.

Some Valentine's ribbon from a few years ago.....

and some sweet little lace hearts that Shae made for me on her embroidery machine a few years ago. I've made a few pairs of earrings with these hearts.

A sweet little project that didn't even come close to breaking the bank!

I better be feeling better by Valentine's Day!

Have a great weekend!

Craft Fair Day

Did you think I forgot about you? I didn't! I've been a little (actually a LOT) under the weather. I've caught that nasty flu that's going around :(

It was dang cold Saturday morning as we headed to Harvest Village! We wore 2 jackets most of the day, with hats and gloves til it warmed up.

There were baby animals this time!

How cute is this lamb?! OMG so adorable!

She was such a little sweetie, too! (She was my favorite baby of the day!)

This was my next favorite....a cute lil goat kid.

He liked to cuddle with his mom :)

This baby goat was a favorite, too. It wanted out of the cage.

There were quite a few animals....this Billy goat...

chickens

doves

ducks

fluffy headed ducks????

more chickens

more fluffy headed ducks....are they molting or what? I don't remember my ducks doing this as a kid.

a piggy!

and more goats.

We had a pretty good vendor turnout....it gets better all the time :)

We had a pretty good day....well, fun wise, lol. Laci sold a couple of finger puppets, and a couple of cat toys.
I sold a hair barrette and a key chain....and Miss Anna sold a couple things. I didn't keep tabs on everyone.


About an hour after I got home Saturday, I was hit with the flu. Full on fever and chills, in the bed with my clothes and jacket on.
To make matters worse, I have coughed so hard, I have cracked my ribs. It is so painful, I can barely stand to move, or even breathe.....and coughing is excruciatingly painful.
I have no appetite whatsoever, and the last thing I ate was a bowl of soup Monday night. Just the thought of food makes me nauseous.

I better be on the mend soon! I'm planning a trip to the beach in a week, and I can't go shelling with cracked ribs....OR Can I?

The Friday Post

Happy Friday, and Yay the weekend is here!

But first....ummmm yesterdays post...let me clarify that I do NOT hate mustaches on MEN. My husband has one, as well as a beard ;) I like them just fine on him! My son has facial hair, too....and both my son-in-laws!

It's mustaches on everything not breathing that I find silly, lol. There are even mustache party supplies for heavens sake :P

Okay, this weekend is a FUN one!

Harvest Village tomorrow!

Kim gave me some cool acrylic sign frames a while back, and I have been trying to come up with what to put in them.

I know, bad pictures! Lighting really IS everything

These are just about 81/2 x 11 and I think you can read them at a glance from a short distance away. Except the last one. It's in a 4 x 6 frame. It's still quite noticeable. I'm hoping that by seeing in print what I actually HAVE maybe will make a big difference :) if anyone comes out in this frigid weather, lol.

On Sunday we will be going to the 1st Cannibals bout of the season!!!!!! Yay Roller Derby!

And you already know who my favorites are ;)

But really, all the ladies are GREAT and it takes a TEAM not just one or two people!

And next week I will get some work done! And I do have a Valentine craft.....

Have a great weekend, and stay warm!

Oh, Those Silly Mustaches!

You know what I mean....they are everywhere. I do not see the fascination with this craze.

BUT, when a certain piece of seashell went into my pocket, I knew it would be the perfect mustache.

Even though I really have abhorred this fad for the last couple of years. Is it ever gonna end????

Not that I am jumping on this bandwagon......

I intend to keep this shell mustache! I think it would be fun as a pin....on my jacket :)

What a neat chunk of shell, huh?! It was shaped like a razor clam when I started. All the same width. A little manipulation and wallllllaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! I have a one of a kind mustache pin :{


What do you think of the mustache fad? I personally don't get the point. Maybe I'm too old, LOL!
