Fun With Felt!







Check Out These Cuties! I have been playing with Felt Again and came up with these. I have tons of designs all over my counter top and now I have to sew them together. If you are interested in them you can find them in my shops: http://www.logcabincrafters.com/ or http://www.littlepagsboutique.etsy.com/

If you are local and would like to see some of my work in person, I will be presenting my crafts at Penn's Purchase Outlets in Peddlers Village, PA on May 23rd from 11:00am to 5:00pm. It is a beautiful area with upscale shoppes and dining. Hope to see you there.


Family News: Sean is now in Basic Training. He is sending lots of positive letters home, which makes my heart sing.... Braeden is looking forward to graduation in June, Ryan is looking forward to Summer and being able to sleep in and of course Ava is babbling up a storm and loves to walk around the house in Mommy's high heels! That's my girl!LOL


Till next time.....Jen

Scrap-a-holic??

Okay! I am ready to admit it, I am a Scrap-a-holic...Who knew? I mean how could I have known it would happen to me?LOL
Thanks to an old H.S. friend who recently took me Scrapbooking with her and I saw and touched all of these neat Scrapping toys...I had to have it! Like I already have every tool possible for every imaginable craft! I thought my DH was gonna die! It bit me and so I of course went to Ebay and bought myself the Cricut Machine and then I had to have the Cuttlebug....Does it ever end? I am having so much fun....So as usual to reason the purchase to my DH I have to sell some of my creations. I will be listing flower packets for scrapbooking in my Etsy shop by the end of this week.
So I really need to know if anyone uses their Cutterbug to cut out fabrics or wool felt shapes? This was my purpose for buying it and I have not been successful at it so far.
On the other business front: I have some new necklaces that I will be listing on Log Cabin Crafters Eshop this week. Check em out:
I have been seeing a huge jump in Etsy sales lately. I sincerely hope it is because people are buying more, not because others have closed their shops.
I am going to be busy packing to move AGAIN! That is move #3 in 3 years. Atlease I am almost totally clutter free now!LOL
Well until tomorrow.. Jen

Who? What? Where?

Ever have one of those days when you feel like you just can't keep it all straight in your head?! That is me these days! I have such a crazy life but I really wouldn't want it any other way...I think that is what is keeping me so young looking!!!LOL
My son (Private Kindess, I love it...sounds kinda funny doesn't it) just left for the Army on the 30th of March....I was not taking it very well at first but after hearing from him on the phone a few times I feel much better about it. He says it is hard but he likes it! Good for him. I couldn't be more proud. Pour little Ava runs around the house looking for him when I mention his name. It is so cute. I am hoping to teach her his name before we go to his graduation in Ft. Jackson.


Here is a new cutie for my shop:

She is Tess the Turtle. She is a Hair Clippie Holder. You can find her at www.logcabincrafters.com. I will also be offering supplies in my shop, such as: fabric, die cut flowers etc... I have got lots of new ideas brewing!

Thanks for reading,

Janette

Sleepy Sunday!

Ahhhhh...Sunday Afternoon!
Baby and Daddy are napping, all of the other kids are out for the day and I am posting. I love my quiet time on the computer or what ever I decide to do in peace!!!

I decided to finalize my taxes and get them mailed out tomorrow...Horray! Here was my other project this weekend:

Yes.... another custom order for a Dippin' Dots Scrabble Tile Necklace from my Etsy shop. It is nice to see retail picking up. I also added a new Bow PonyO to my shop, here is the pic:
Just in case someone doesn't know what a ponyO is I added the picture to the right, hopefully it is self explanatory.
I love making these types of hair bows, I just wish my daughter would wear them in her hair for more than 2 seconds. She is constantly rubbing her eyes because her hair is dangling in them but as soon as I put a clip in it she rips it right out.! Oh well I am sure she will love them when she is older, cuz she already LOVES shoes..LOL right ladies!
Thanks for reading and please check back this week because I am gonna run another giveaway soon for some Hair Clips.
