Hi Everyone,

Yes I survived my surgery and learned that I have a very unique heart as well. At first the recovery was slow but now I feel terrific. I had to get the house back in order and buy a new computer but I am SO ready to dive right in. I am currently running a 20% Off special in my Log Cabin Crafters shop. If you have been on the shelf waiting to purchase something, then hurry over and do it because I am only running this special until 6/30/2012.

On a personal note: I am SO excited to say that tomorrow evening I will be watching as my youngest son Ryan, receives his HS diploma...I can remember watching him get a Kindergarten diploma and it seems like yesterday. I am so proud of him and what he has achieved. He is heading to Millersville University in the fall. Here is his handsome face lol I am sure I will be choking down some tears. Now all I have left at home is my little girl (Ava) and she will be attending Kindergarten in the fall.....squeeling with joy at the thought...ha ha ha  Isn't that terrible of me. I adore her, honestly!
Stay tuned as things are starting to get exciting around here....

So Tired Lately!

Hello all of my faithful followers and any other blog skimmers who have taken the time to read this!!
I have been so tired lately! I did burn the midnight oil for a few weeks but jeez, I just can't seem to catch up again. I think it could be the thought of knowing that I have no more craft shows coming up too. My though process now is to get the house clean for the Holidays and relax with family and friends, but it seems that my body has other plans. My little Princess has not been feeling well either with a stomach virus of sorts.

I got a nice big custom order for a little girls birthday party from my last show. I finally got it finished today..I hope she likes them

I them thought well while I have the stuff out I might as well work on some others..so here is a cute little Hello Kitty Fairy Pendant I did.

 I am going to focus on the website and make changes and add more products...Please come on over and check them out: http://www.logcabincrafters.com/

Until Next Time, Thanks for Reading

Getting Excited for the BIG MAN in RED!!!

I stayed up late last night working on another Wall Plaque. I love making them but this is only the second one so I am still not very confident in my work yet. What do you think?

I am not exactly sure what to charge for them either...I am thinking maybe $6 - $8? Anyway, I was shopping and saw this beautiful wreath and I really wanted it but it was $30 and lets face it I think like a crafter...hmmm I can make that! So I grabbed myself a plain wreath and well...WALA here it is

I think it turned out okay! On my last post I promised I would add a picture of my Prim Mart Ornie Swap Tree, So here it is: 

Sorry it isn't the best picture but the Ornaments are so beautiful and everyone involved is so talented.

I decided to share some of my Holiday Decorating pics with you...I LOVE Elves...

Another Totally Awesome Crafter....

I was in search of some Thanksgiving Decor and upon searching the web I found this wonderful site http://www.oakhillcrafts.com/store/Default.asp, and after placing an order for this Turkey: 

and a really nice conversation on the telephone, I realized this was a very talented and sweet woman. You can tell from her work that she really puts her heart into it. I also found out that she is one of my Prim Sistas...Today I went to the mailbox to discover that this wonderful woman (Dawn) sent me the most beautiful handmade Christmas Ornaments with the names of my children on them. I almost cried when I saw them. I don't think anyone has ever done anything so nice for me! Here are the pictures of the Ornie:

Aren't these beautiful?! Please go over to her website and checkout her products, you won't be sorry you did.

I have been busy with some hand sewing. I decided to make some Ginerbread Man Ornaments. They have been listed on my website and I hope you adore them as much as I do.

Until next time...Have a wonderful weekend Everyone!

Looking Good!

I am getting really excited for the move now...We snuck over on Saturday to check out the progress and we were very happy to see the roof on, the new garage door, the siding has been started and an extra nice surprise...recessed lighting on the porch! The back of the house will be getting a deck that leads to the concrete slab there. The other picture is our 2 plus acres of land...perfect for a pool, swing etc...

I also had to add a picture of my other baby..lol My Dogde Durgano...love it...best vehicle I have ever owned! Okay Okay enough of this personal stuff...I did manage to get some work done this weekend and here is a new shop goodie for you...The padded Butterfly:

Both of these Butterfly Hair Clippies will be added to Little Pags Boutique Shop by Monday. I am also working on an original Hair Clippie Design...if I can figure out how to make it out of ribbon it should be a hit. I think I will unveil it by Wednesday...Want to get it out there before my surgery on May 11th and I will be closing my Etsy Shop for that week to give myself time to rest...

As always Thanks for Reading,

Trying to Relax....

I am always going in 20 different directions. Always having a tug-o-war with myself between what I want to do and what I should do. And to make things worse I have about 20 projects that I need to actually finish.. So this weekend I tried to force myself to relax, stop and smell the roses as they say. So here is what I did: We road around our 7 acres on my son's 50, trying to teach my little Ava to steer

Then we decided to go to a local Lake and throw down a beach blanket and go fishing...but of course I HAD to bring my knitting, I just can't sit. We had so much fun, believe it or not we caught 23 fish in one hour...22 Bluegill and 1 Rock Fish...as soon as we cast the line out there was another fish on it..incredible!

We then got the call that they added the porch to our new home which is coming along beautifully!! YAY...I can't wait to move in... In fact I just purchased a beautiful bedroom set for my daughter!

Then back to my mind wandering and thinking about how I want to decorate the new place, which lead to the panic of wow I have to finish sanding and staining my bedroom dresser. I am staining it black and then priming it up by sanding the edges...Then to the new line of fabric jewelry I have to finish and load on the websites, then onto how much I need to complete before I have my surgery....it never ends...lol but I do wonder sometime if I will get everything done that I want to do before I die??? I sure hope so cuz my husband and kids would kill me if I leave all of that fabric and craft stuff laying around for them to clean up!!! Please check back by the end of the week, I should have some new original creations loaded.

Thanks for reading...Hugs

Loss For Words...

I haven't had much to blog about lately. I have been so busy with my family and packing to move again that I just haven't had the time to blog or even create anything new. I joined a layout of the month class at my local Scrapbooking store. It is lots of fun and I already got my homework done for my May 7th class. I will post pics of my layout incase anyone wants to copy it.
Ta Ta For Now,
Jen

Setting up my Craft Show Schedule for 2010

I have been working hard at finding all of the local craft shows and getting my application's in. I am signed and sealed into 2 so far..it is frustrating that some still don't have their application ready for May yet! It is closer than it seems. I will be show casing my products at the Springtown Fire House on February 27th in Springtown, PA and the other is Palisades High School in Kintnersville, PA on March 21st from 9am to 3pm. The Palisades H.S Craft Show is a fundraiser for abused women and children so please stop by and purchase Handmade products made in the USA and support a good cause....never too early to start your Christmas shopping!!!

I made some cute little M2MG Korker Bows and listed them in my Little Pags Boutique Etsy Shop, here is a picture. I am currently running a Buy One Get One 1/2 Off on all Hair Clippies and Necklaces until Feb. 14th, 2010.

I will update show dates on my next post...Thanks for reading!

Work, Work, Work....

Wow...I have been working so hard on some final details of my new website! I can't believe how many hits I have already. I love Primmart! I have been working on tons of new Hair Clippies for http://www.logcabincrafters.com/ and Vita Essentials Salon in Sellersville, PA.

I decided to start offering a line of Hair Accessories for dogs...Nothing like a Furry Kid! I will be adding those under the Little Pags Boutique Button on my shop very soon.

I have been taking lots of time out to play with the Princess though. She is talking up a storm now. Some of her new favorite words are Ball, Hi, Bye, Choo Choo (with the hand motion of course), Hat, Hot, and EEEEWWWEEEE when she thinks something is gross!

Thanks for reading! Remember to smile and hold the door for a stranger, it just might brighten someone's day!
