Happy Halloween


We have our big dog Oreo put up so that he will not jump on people. He loves kids and he has no clue how to act, we have spoiled him. If he sees a child he will lose his mind, jump all over them knock them down. Hubby and I got a few Halloween decorations yesterday that were on sale, I put them out today, they were cute, now I get to take them down tomorrow. Oh well I will have them out for more that one day for next year.
I have sold a few things to my cousins where they were here ( that is always nice ) I also have a few orders. Now I am working on them.
I'm sitting here sipping on some coffee, checking out my listings on etsy, I need to up load some new shirts but I think I'll wait until Monday. I need to go and get my clothes ready for in the morning for church, I am bad about dragging around and missing church because I feel that I don't have anything to ware.
I hope everyone has a fun and safe time out tonight.

Hubby Day

I spent the day shopping with the hubby. I would have liked to have stayed home because of the rain.  He works all day so he had the day off and wanted to go to town, so I skipped the house cleaning and creating I needed to do thinking half a day, well it turned out to be all day. Oh well I will have to hit it early tomorrow, at least I got to spend the day with him.

And he tasted like black cherries

I've been working on some soap ( well if you can call it work when it's fun ). Hmmm I did not know that I needed to line my wooden mold with freezer paper first. I had to heat the mold in the oven to release the soap.
I didn't get to work on my other new project, maybe tomorrow.

I am as much into different teas as I am coffee. You can't get good tea here, you have to order it online. Well I take that back, I have run a cross a few at Marsall's ( I love that store ). Here in the photo I am brewing up some cherry tea. I looked hard to find Black Cherry tea after the Sex and the City where Carry meets " The Russia" and they have some with dessert. At the end he kisses her good night and she says " And he tasted like black cherries". Well I had to find some then.

Order came in !!!

My soap supplies came in this morning, now I can start making soaps like Lush has but with my own twist. I've also got something new that I have not tried to make, I'll show later, I am so wanting to go in there and get started but I will not allow myself fun time until I get this house clean. I have to keep telling myself  "NO" like a child at Christmas, I am a true crafter.
" girls love to be a bit Wicked " ain't that the truth,
my niece would correct me on the
ain't isn't a word, but as a southerner some times it just sounds better, ain't that right?

It's been awhile

It's been awhile ( love staind ) but I'm back. I have been working on some designs, orders, and jewelry designs. I missed the jewelry end of my crafting, it has been years. When I found some boxes that had some of my old stuff, I had to get back to that too. I don't think that I should open different shops for everything I have, you know like spa ( my own Lush stuff ), jewelry, and clothes. I know that it takes all my free time trying to get the 2 shops seen, If I had more I couldn't have time to make my products.
Right now while I am typing this I am listening to a Lush haul video on youtube in the background, we do not have a Lush store here close to where I live. Though I make my own soaps and bath stuff, I have got to check out that store next time I go where they may have one.  Now this video has got me wanting my stuff for the new bath products to come in. 
I'm about to go and take some pics of the new design for t shirts and bags that I got screen printed earlier.

Here is a new necklace that I made last night.

Day with hubby

Hubby and I went to church this morning. After that we went to Memphis so that I could get some supplies for my jewelry designs, I have tons of things coming from online but I wanted to get my hands on something today. I want to set up the torch and do lampwork beads again but it's too dangerous, and if it can go wrong it will for me. Then again I  have the screen printing, jewelry, soap & spa things, and pet supplies oh and my photography ( never give that up, love too much ). You could say that I love being creative.

I am sitting here typing this and watching my Coupling DVD. 4 years is not enough, I wish they would start it up again. I love brit coms, Ab Fab, Coupling,  are a few that I could watch over and over.
It was cold here this morning finally talked Billy into letting me turn on the heat. He stays hot and I stay cold but I do like the cool weather.

Facebook

I hate facebook but 4 different times yesterday I was asked if I had a page so I thought I would join again. And still it is crap, no music, video, you can't personalize your page, it just really sucks as much as it bites when you can't be artistic with your stuff. Not only that I think facebook knows I hate them because it is the only page that freezes up when I try to do the few things it allows.
Today I plan to stay home and clean, no shopping today unless I get that done. Hmmm I don't see shopping for today.
I got some new tees ordered for some orders that I need to get done. I let my main web site go. I'm trying to find a user friendly site to build.
Now for the photography side of my world. I have a 5 generation, family, and baby session coming up next week. I will be working on some Christmas card layouts and get them posted.

I'm back



I spent the day shopping with my niece, Jessica, my sister and my mom. We had to get some things for the school trip my niece and sister are going on. I didn't get too crazy with the shopping myself, I'm trying to get it under control, I can  relate to " Confessions of a Shopaholic" . My thing was things for my home. Sometimes I slip and get a little crazy but for the most part I control it. Now I ask myself  "Do I really really need this". My hubby is the best, he never says a word, once he looked into the room after one of my spending days and said " Do I want to know how much you spend ", and I said " Only if you want to get real angry ".

I have a new design up on etsy, it is cute and I have a deal going on, get a tee and get a canvas tote for FREE.

Today mom and I went to work at my sister Angie's. We made some key fobs and I worked on the etsy site.
Tonight I made a bean salad and grilled chicken for me and some steaks with mushrooms for DH Billy. I for the recipe for the bean salad on youtube, you can find anything there. I love the makeup tips and checking out decor and I collect Department 56 Christmas houses and I love to see how others deck theirs out. Some people have such talent for that kind of thing. I don't collect the Halloween houses but I wish I had the room for them, they are so cool looking. Maybe some day I'll try a few of them.

Hmmm Is my blog stinky :0

I am kinda new to the blog thing. I have started 2 different threads on etsy about following my blog. People list their info and I go and add them to my contacts. I have about 40 now added and when I look at who has added me I only see 6, what is up with that. When you add someone wouldn't they add you back I guess what I need to do is see the ones that were kind enough to add me, keep them and weed out the ones that don't add me back. I'm  going to give the others about a week ( maybe they don't log on everyday ) and then I will see about knocking that list down.
It's kinda like what's wrong with my blog. Oh well maybe I'm not alone in this.
I got some new long sleeve coming and I put in a order for some more screens this week. I love it when the screen come in ready to use and I don't have to prepare them for the artwork.

Sunday



Today it has rained all day long. I have been working in the house. I plan on doing my whole family's group portraits this autumn when the leaves are at the peak of perfection. Now I am thinking about Christmas cards and how I want to do them this year.
I have some t'shirt orders I need to get ready ( love that ). I think we will add jewelry to the sit. I have always loved making jewelry and I rather have hand made than mass produced jewelry. My sister and I use to make lampwork beads ( glass beads ) that was so much fun.
I have a new listing on etsy tonight for all the twilight's new moon fans, check it out. http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=32039646
