Update, Reminder and Winnings:

Hi Blog Friends,

This picture says it all! She looks like how I’ve felt for the last week and a half!! Lol…

I went back to the doctor yesterday about this cyst that has been infected for a week.  The doctor had given me an antibiotic to take but it did not do what it was suppose to do and by yesterday the thing was so  sore and swollen that I thought he would send me to the hospital.  He didn't.  He had to put two drain tubes in it and gave me a new antibiotic to take and said once the infection is cleared he wants to send me to a surgeon to have the cyst removed.  You talk about hurt! I would not wish this on my worst enemy! Needless to say I have not gotten any new crafts done. 

Last night I tried to do a few stitchery's and managed to get this far.

They are from a pattern by Sami’s Stitchery’s. I won 5 of her patterns on Sunday from a giveaway Samantha’s Accessories was having.

Here’s a picture of the winnings!

Thank you Samantha!!!

If you have not visited Samantha go up and click on the link above, she has some beautiful aprons and stitchery’s on her selling site. I bought some of her tarts and boy are they great and long lasting! Give’m a try sometime, I love the Lavender Lemon one myself.

Reminder – If you have not signed up for my Prim Fall Giveaway, TODAY is the last day to do so.  You must sign up for it under that heading. That is the only place I will accept entries.

It’s Almost Time:

Hi Blog Friends,

As promised, I have some pics of the craft items I’ve been working on this week. I didn't get as much done as I had hoped though. I went to the doctors about this cyst on my side fully expecting him to remove it but he couldn't because it is infected and man does it hurt! I have to take antibiotics for 10 days then go back. I hate taking antibiotics they always seem to make me feel yuckier!(    Oh, an the spot on my arm, the Doc said is an age spot!! I said AGE SPOT, are you kidding me!! He said that’s what happens as you age, some people are lucky and don’t get them; others get them really bad. He tried to make me feel better by asking how old I am, and complemented me by saying I really did not look that old!( Thanks Doc…..

Well, on to some pic’s of the crafts. Most of the things I am making are for Fall and Halloween. I can’t wait to start making Christmas and Winter items; I love making snowmen the most.

Here are some large witch boots. I used vintage white porcelain buttons on these and filled the top with florals I found at GW.

Look at this little pumpkin girl. She turned out so cute.  She was created from a pattern in the October 2010 issue of Create & Decorate. Gabby Gourd, by Kim Grasso.

Here’s a sweet Witch Annie I created from a pattern by Homespun from the Heart. Very easy to make.

New pattern I purchased from My Primitive saltbox. They are having a pattern sale on their website. All patterns are $2 each!! This is Kat and Jax. Very easy pattern and fun to make.

 

This is a prim black cat and plump pumpkin duo.  I used vintage pearl buttons for the eyes. I just love how this one turned out!

Meet Louie & Pete! This was a free pattern from Olde Rustic Prims.  A cute little black cat named Louie playing with his friend Pete the mouse.

This scarecrow turned out much cuter than I thought he would. It was a free pattern from Crafty Ole Crow.  I have a ton of these old spindle spools I purchased a few years back at a yard sale. I could never figure out what to do with them, but seeing how you all here on the net create things as make-do’s I now know what to do with them.

Very cute bowl fillers – Frost on the Pumpkin pattern by Pineing for you prim collectibles. I got this at Prim Mart in the free pattern section. click here to go to that page. Some great free patterns!!

And look at these adorable little Annie's! I loved making these, they are simple and quick to make. It was another free pattern I found on the net. It is by Countin’ Crows and the pattern is called Annie 4 Sale. Sorry I can’t find the link for this one.

I could spend all day surfing the web for free patterns. There are so many generous designers out there and I truly appreciate there generosity. Try surfing sometime, you to can find all kinds of neat things.

Gotta get back to work, and my side is killing me:(

Don’t forget to watch for the drawing of my prim fall giveaway on September 1st!!

Prim Blessings, and have a great weekend.

Jean

If you have not yet signed up for the Prim Fall Giveaway just click here and sign up. Be sure to follow the directions for the giveaway.

It was a beautiful weekend here in the Valley, and I have been working on lots of new things.  I will post some picks of them later this week.

I have to go to the doctors tuesday to have a cyst removed from my side. Its been there awhile and the doctor told me it was nothing to worry about, but it has tripled in size and hits right where my bra line is and has become very sore.  I hate to go to doctors so I am a little stressed about it.  I also found a small spot on my arm that is concerning me.  I hope it's nothing, but it looks like it could be skin cancer.  I have always been really bad about protecting myself from the sun. Especially as a teenager we always wanted that golden tan. And yes as an adult I loved going to the tanning bed. Have not done that for a few years but I'm sure the damage has already been done.  If only we could turn back the clock, or atleast have listened to my mom.
I was and still am such a hardheaded person.lol.

Well got to get back to my crafts, they've been outside drying and it looks like rain is coming tonight.

Until next time, Prim Blessings,
Jean

Does anyone know what these are called?

Hi blog friends,

I found these at a yard sale (a whole crate of them) and had to get them cause they were very old and very cheap!! I know people paint on them, but I can not for the life of me figure out what they are called, or what they were used for. They look like old roof shingles or something like that?? Even my puppers, Snoopy can’t figure them out!! lol.

And what are these??

I found them in the bottom of the box.

They are rusty metal, The one on the left has a hook atop a socket thingy and the one on the right has an old hand forged metal pin, holding on a metal slide plate. Kinda like a plow thingy. They have me stumped.

I would appreciate it if anyone could tell me anything about them.

Prim Blessings,

Jean
