Update and a Shout Out!

Hello Everyone,
Gosh things have been busy for me. In the last Month I had my oldest son come home from the Army with my Granddaughter. He was only here for about a week and a half but it was so good to see him again. It was almost a year since I saw him. My beautiful Granddaughter Laila is almost a year, and so darn cute.

Unfortunately while he was here he had pneumonia, that was scarey. Then my youngest son developed a sinus infection :( and now my daughter Ava has been very sick for the past 3 days with a very high fever. Needless to say I am exhausted!
We are preparing for our German Student to come in a few weeks, so exciting! We are really into Fall around here so he is going to get his fill of this season from us for sure :)

On the business front: I have been plugging away at some new hair clips and some new ideas. Here is one of my newbies: If you want this one in any other color just drop me a note in the comments section. You can find it here Little Pags Boutique (Shipping is already added into the price).
I wanted to give a shout out to Etsykids Team on Etsy! I am a part of this group (Etsykids ANE). It is a huge group of talented people selling their Handmade Treasures on Etsy. If you want something unique, give Etsykids a try. Go to Etsy.com and type Etsykids in your search on the Handmade tab. You won't believe what you find! Here is cute Fall hat from my group: Etsykids ANE
Thank you for reading and TGIF!!!!

Nothing like creatin'

Hi Blogger Buds!
Are you gearing up for the next big storm? Yuck it is going to be a bad hair weekend for me..blah! Hope all of my lawn ornaments survive the 100 mph winds.
So here is an update of what I have been up to. I started this Quilted Tree Shirt several years ago and never got around to finishing it, so I pulled it out and started the binding:

Then the Fall bug really bit me. I was late night Blog stalking and I saw this cute little scarecrow and just had to try making it myself. I have only finished one so far but here he is:

You can find the pattern at Old Road Primitives. Isn't he just so cute? I posted a pic of him on my facebook page and people already want to buy him...but I really need to stock them up for my upcoming show. So like I said, I have the fall crafting bug and I have already started a female scarecrow and a witches hat:

These should be fun projects to keep me busy through this weekends storms.
I am still fighting some sort of illness from the Journey concert and just getting my voice back after 4 days. Oops and before I forget, here is my Witch...I am still not thrilled with her and have decided to sell her instead of keeping her. I still have to work on her hat and a few minor details:

Thanks for Reading and I hope you all have a wonderful weekend ahead!

Puttin On My Super Cape

Wow, things are getting crazy but I love it! I love the Fall and everything that goes with it...Pumpkins, the smell of burning leaves, Halloween decor, Trick or Treating, Pumpkin Pie, Pumkin Bread....etc
By the grace of God we got through a very horrible two plus weeks of illness in our home. My son Ryan had Bronchitis and then sweet little Ava got Pneumonia...very scarey stuff!
I am patiently waiting the birth of my 1st Grand Child, due on Oct. 7th....(patiently? ha..everytime the phone rings and it is my sons ringtone I run to get it)I just can't believe my son is gonna be a Daddy. Oh how I wish they lived closer so we can watch HER (Laila) grow up in person...
On the business front, I have several Craft shows coming up so I am squeezing in some creative time in between breakfast, lunch and dinner. Here is a picture of a few new Hair Clips I will be adding to my shop this week:

Bootiful Ghost Clip

Up Town Turkey Clip

Tom Turkey

Frosty Snowman Clip

3D Pumpkin Clip

On the flip side, for Log Cabin Crafters I have been making some Christmas Ornies (pics to come shortly) and Spooky Candy Corns which my adorable 3y/o call Corny Cornies...lol
I have decided to make some blogging changes so please check back as I add some Country Home pictures and recipes. I am looking into advertising in the Country Sampler Magazine. It is a great magazine for Country and Prim lovers, and has lots of talented Artists and Home Decor Ideas! I will keep you posted on that.
Well as usual thank for reading

Chilly and Chillin'

Wooo Whooo it is COLD outside....

I don't really like to be cold but I love the cold weather season....Does that make sense??lol

I couldn't live without winter completely but I would like to experience Fall first. It is getting cold to quickly. I decided to take some time away from the business and relax and then business picked up....Murphy's Law right?!

So here I sit with the hubby watching the Nascar race on tv and making Holiday Hair Clippies for a sizeable wholesale order that needs to ship first thing on Monday.

I have been sewing my buns off making Christmas Ornaments and Tooth Fairy Pillows.

Please keep checking my shops for the new holiday products I will be adding. Oh and I added my Little Pags Boutique Facebook page here to the right, click on it and add yourself as a fan to follow my business updates and be entered to win a free product!!!

Thanks for reading,

Sometimes You Have To Dig Deep....

Sometimes I feel like I have to dig so much deeper to find my happy place! Ever feel like that? I know I have it better than a lot of other people do but life just seems so hard at times. I have lots to be grateful for but every now and then I just wish things were easier or would go as I planned, you know?! Maybe it is just lack of sleep!

I have been working on some cute Fall Felt Hair Cippies and trying my hand at some new things. More Tooth Fairy Pillows will be coming to LogCabinCrafters.com in the next week or so! I will be running random weekly specials through September in both of my shops so please keep checking them.

I am really enjoying watching Ava grow. I guess because I am an older Mom and at a slower pace than when I had my other children but I get so much joy from her laughter and listening in her doorway while she sings along with the music video's on Noggin. Here is a recent pic.

As Always, Thanks for reading :)
