Weekend Bliss

Phew....it is Sunday night and I wish I 

could hit "rewind" and do it all again!!

Saturday HOMESPUN was in our

last show of the season.

We hit this craft show out of the park and I could 

not be happier with how well we did!!

 I  actually sold out of almost all of my stock.....crazy!!

It will be a nice break until the Spring shows and I 

may go through crafting with-drawls but I can tell

you this.... Kev and I are already brainstorming

products and it is going to be great!!

I took some pics from the show!!

***THANK YOU to everyone who has supported me

along the way----I am blessed to have such great friends

and family members********

My table.

I think I am going to be on the look out for some

cute fabric for my Spring shows!!!

A nice POP of color!!!

Sold a lot of chalkboards!!

They are so fun!!

 Oh my word the Book Page Christmas Trees and the 

Yarn & Twine wrapped trees flew off the table!!!

Saturday morning before heading to the show...

this was my breakfast!!! 

Ha...breakfast of champions=Fruit Loops!!

Saturday night I was exhausted from the show.

I sat with my two favorite men and watched Rudolph The Red

Nosed Reindeer and worked on a scarf for a friend.

Sunday morning we took it slow---

coffee, cartoons, crocheting and family time!!

My mother-in-law gave me this owl ornament last year-

I love it!! 

Maybe I can get another Mom T!!!?

Andrew and I did some Christmas decorating 

around the house! He got the biggest kick

out of filling this lantern with bulbs. They kept

spilling out and he would laugh hysterically---I 

on the other hand was getting frustrated but

at least he found the humor in it!!

This is not even all the bulbs we put in it..

it looks really pretty is person.

Next stop....our dining room.

Is it bad that I was actually glad this particular wreath

did not sell....I WANTED IT FOR MYSELF!!!

I love it and it is happy hanging in my house!!

 Thought I would write some holiday cheer on the chalkboard too!

This song has been stuck in my head since last night when we

 watched Rudolph!!

The boys and I went out to dinner tonight and to Target.

We checked off a lot more gifts off of our list....I am glad!!

We have been shopping a little here and there and it

has really cut my stress level down  a lot this year.

You are probably wondering what is up with the 

ginger ale....my stomach hurt when we got home

so I thought drinking my ginger ale out of a sparkly

holiday cup would be the perfect cure!!

Lastly tonight I put Kev to work hanging up a few things

in our mudroom.  Now with craft season slowing down 

I can "fluff" my house a bit and get some projects

done!!!

Well I hope everyone had a great weekend with their

families!!! There are only 16 days left till Christmas

are you ready!!?

Around My House This Morning

I took today off to help

at Andrew's Santa Shop later today...

isn't it funny how you take the day off and

your day becomes jammed pack with things that 

need to get done!!

The morning started off with coffee!!!

Gotta have coffee it is a must!!

It is a coffee kind of a day the weather here

is dreary, rainy, and cold-yuck.

Andrew found Eddie today in

my owl filled with yarn!!

I was able to get Andrew on the bus today-

it is the little things that start your day off right!!

Andrew is excited that I will be working the Santa Shop 

today he has his money and his list of people he wants to 

buy for....plus he said he needs to shop for himself as well!!

Then I noticed in my mudroom that I really need

to start Christmas fluffing my house!!

After tomorrows craft show I will be a decorating

machine around here!!

As I am getting a few things checked off my to-do-list

I am listing the The Lumineers...I really like this band.

Tonight I have to set up for the craft show.

My last show of the season....I am sad...but 

hope to do well!! My dining room is filled with

new products and it puts a big smile on my face!!

Scarves with buttons....LOVE THEM!!!

If they all sell I will be making me one pronto!!!

 

Before I head out for the day I am putting the finishing 

touches on some stuff.....I could really

keep creating new stuff but I gotta cut my self off!!

Buttons...LOVE!!

Why are they so expensive though!?

I completed a new batch of yarn and twine

wrapped Christmas trees..they are super

cute in person!!

 

I finally decided where my Hoop Art wall is going 

to go....in my bedroom!!! Here is one side of my bedroom

and it needs some color and some loving!!

Can't wait to start this project!!!!

Checking out Andrew's room this morning...and

thinking to myself "what can the kid possibly need for Christmas?"

I think we will be going through some old toys and donating them

before Santa arrives.

Well I am off to get a few errands ran before heading

to the Santa Shop!!! What are you doing today!?

One more thing......are you a "follower" of HOMESPUN!?

If you scroll all the way down and look on the left hand side of

the blog you can become a "follower!!" 

Come on and join me!!!!

Andrew's School Christmas Program

Andrew had his school Christmas program the other night

and all the kids did such a nice job singing!!

His music teacher was amazing she played almost all

the songs they sang with a guitar and the kids sang along..

I loved how the performance was done acoustically it

was a really nice touch!!

It was hard to get some good shots with 40 little

munchkins swaying back and forth-but I got a few.

Andrew----

I wonder what he is looking and grinning at!?

Maybe the pretty little girl!!!!?

He is singing so hard in this picture!

We actually heard him singing all the way back

to our seats-it was nice!

This kid absolutely melts my heart.

I love the action shots!!

They are so in the moment.

I believe this song was, On The House Top.

Precious!!!!

At the end of the show they were dressed as angels.

I love this picture of him holding up his star and

really enjoying the moment!

Being a mom is such a blessing and the little moments

like these mean so much more then words can explain.

After the show we had to pick him up in his classroom

and he wanted to show Poppa (my dad) all around

his classroom!

 I am glad my dad had the chance to see were Andrew is

all day......it is nice to see them bond and 
enjoy each others company.  

At one point they were holding hands

as Andrew gave him the tour around his classroom.

I LOVE that Andrew is able to know and have a 
relationship with his grandparents.

Hoop Art Project In The Works!!!

Hoop art is something I have
been eyeing up for awhile now.
I want to create a wall in my house with
pops of color using embroidery hoops and fabric.

I have not yet selected the wall in my house yet so
I am unsure of how big or small the display will
actually be BUT I have started
gathering random fabrics that I cannot
wait to display!!

I have pinned quite a few pictures as inspiration
and thought I would share!!

Enjoy all their loveliness!!

 I love this hoop art dispaly with the old school map.
I have some of these old maps hanging in my classroom
and think I need to put in a request for one-if they ever
take them down!!

This hoop art display is in the Craft Weekend  House!!
Going to Meg's Craft Weekend is on my bucket list!!

This t.v room/family room looks like such a happy place!!
I love how they mixed the larger and smaller hoops together!
I will have to keep that in mind when it is time to purchase some!!

The possibilites are endless....I cannot wait!!!!
I bet it could get addicting!!?

Do you have a hoop art display in your house, and if so
how did you create yours!?

Once I get going full steam ahead with this
project I will definately share pictures!!!

Weekend Madness!!

Another weekend gone by way to fast!!

The weekend started with my third craft show.

HOMESPUN was a hit and had a lot

of happy customers!!! 

We have our last craft show this coming weekend 

and it is sad knowing we are done till Spring....

I would do one more if I could!!

Me at out booth!!

The table---again the orange totes---I know

they are bad and I thought I had a solution

but it didn't work out..gotta get on my

sewing machine to whip up a covering for 

them by Saturday.

We sold lots of good merchandise!!

Everyone laughs at my chalkboard!!!

Our Book Page Christmas Trees were a 

hit at this show!!

If you ever see anything you would like 

to purchase send me a quick email!!

On the home front our elf "Eddie" keeps

popping up in all kinds of places!

Saturday night Kev and I went out Christmas

shopping and it feels so good knowing we 

are completely done with Andrew including

all his stocking stuffers!!

Saturday night I browsed Pinterest with Pez 

by my side....I pinned lots of good stuff!

We are in the Christmas spirit here and have been watching

a lot of Christmas movies.  The Elf is hilarious!!

I need to finish decorating my house there is 

so much I want to do and make.

Today (Sunday) we woke up to rain.

It rained all day here.

I enjoyed coffee in my new coffee cup that

my sister-in-law made me for my birthday!

Andrew was busy spreading holiday cheer!

I took him out and he bought a few presents.

He couldn't wait to wrap them and stick them

in everyone's stockings!!

Love him!!!

Today I had to grab a few more supplies to replenish

items that were sold at Friday's craft show.. I only

have a few nights to pull everything together so

I will be busy!!

How was your weekend?

Did you do anything fun!?

Are you done Christmas shopping?
