Another Bunny & Whatcha Workin On Wednesday




Hi everyone!


Well here it is Wednesday and I am behind once again.My hubby is on vacation this week so it is hard for me to get much of anything done but he did make 2 more trenchers yesterday and he even tried his hand at making a shorter,wider one and it came out pretty good.I can't thank Char(The Pickled Pepper Patch)enough for her wonderful instructions for those trenchers and now thanks to Char he wants to try to make some other wood stuff...Thank You Char,you're the best!Of course I still have to paint the trenchers that he made yesterday but I thought I would share a picture of what they look like so far.I also made another bunny.I think the bunnies are multiplying around here...LOL.I made this cute Old Bunny from a Veena's Mercantile pattern.These were really good sellers for me a couple of years ago so I thought I would make another one.So if you are interested in it just email me:twellman@conninc.com


I also finished the goodies for the laundry swap but I can't post those pictures and I have been working on things for an upcoming show but I haven't taken any pictures yet but I promise I will.I did all of this inbetween having a new heating and air system put in on Monday.I am glad it is done but what a mess I had to clean up afterwards.I am just glad the rain held off until today.I guess I better head back to my sewing room so I can get myself busy working on an order and making things for the show.Have a great day!

I'm Back and Whatcha Workin On Wednesday




Hi everyone,


Finally I am back and getting to share my Whatcha Workin on Wednesday.I didn't get to share anything last week as I had my hubby home sick and the only thing I worked on was things for a swap and I sure didn't want my swap partner to get a sneak peek...LOL.This week I have really been trying to work hard on several things.I am trying to get things made for an upcoming show the end of April,working on finishing the swap goodies,working on another birthday gift and somethings for a shop that I consign at.I am also getting Spring fever really bad.Finally we had a beautiful,warm day here in NC yesterday and I went out and did some cleaning in my soggy yard.We have got a lot of rain since last weekend so the yard is a mess.I put out my Spring and Easter flags and I put a grapevine wreath on my tobacco stick gate to make it have a lighter more Spring look.Now I want to get some pretty flowers to plant in my old planter chair but Mark says I need to hold off just a little bit because we could still get some cooler temps....I might wait until next week...LOL.Anyway I do have a couple of pictures to share.I finished an Easter stitchery pillow.It was made from a Buttermilk Basin pattern.I finally got my rosehips and was able to decorate my trencher that Mark made for me.I love the way it looks all decorated but wouldn't you know I just can't decide where I want to put it...LOL.I also had him to make one for my friend for her birthday and she loved it so they are a hit!Thanks so much Char for sharing the instructions!I have 2 other friends that saw them and they want one so I have got to get him to work on making more.Well that is all I have to share for today but I have lots more in the works so I will be sharing more later.I hope everyone will have a nice week with nice warm weather!

A beautiful day and Bird Make-dos




Hi everyone,


It was a beautiful day here in NC.It was so nice and sunny and warm.It was in the 70s today.It is still 70 degrees at almost 9pm!They are saying we could hit 80 degrees tomorrow!I am loving this weather and I hope it will stay with us.I did get out and enjoy the nice weather for a little while today and I sat out on our back porch this evening while Mark grilled some steaks for us.I spent most of the day working in my sewing room.I finally got the bird make-dos finished.I made them using a pattern by Sassafras Hill Primitives.I was really pleased with how they turned out.The ones I made are for birthday gifts for 3 of my friends but the brown one is for sale and I plan to make a few more for a show in April.So if you are interested in a bird make-do just email me




I spent the rest of the day working on swap goodies and things for the show.I love it when I can spend a whole day in my sewing room and not be interrupted and believe me that doesn't happen too often...LOL.


I hope you are getting some nice weather where you are.


Enjoy the rest of the weekend!

Spring Decorating and Whatcha Workin On Wednesday











Hi everyone,




I am so ready for Spring and I thought it was just around the corner but I thought wrong.Sunday night we got some Winter weather....started out with a heavy,cold rain and turned to sleet and the sleet turned to snow and by Monday morning we had 6 inches of snow on the ground.I am not a big fan of snow.I do not go out in snow.I had a bad experience driving in snow several years ago and I vowed I would never drive in snow again and I haven't.So as you can imagine I am going crazy in the house but at least I have had lots of time to work on things.Since I am so ready for Spring I decided to go ahead and start my Spring/Easter decorating at least inside the house.I did a little decorating yesterday and here are a few pictures that I took.I did put out some pretty(fake)hydragias in a black pitcher in my kitchen but that is as far as I got in there.I still have more to do so I will be posting more pictures as I get things done.




It is Wednesday so that means it is time to share my Whatcha Workin On Wednesday.So far I finished painting the trenchers but still have not got my rosehips so I can't decorate them yet.I also grubbied some battery operated tea lites for the trenchers.I have also been trying to finish some birthday gifts for 3 of my friends that have birthdays this month.I took a picture of the bird make-dos that I am working on for their gifts.I want to get them finished hopefully today.I have also been working on things for a swap that I am in over on Char's blog(The Pickled Pepper Patch).I can't show pictures of those things because I wouldn't want my swap partner to see her swap goodies...LOL.I am also trying to finish a couple of bunnies which I didn't take pictures of either because they are naked and are patiently awaiting their clothes...LOL.So I have lots to keep me busy today and the rest of the week and I better be getting to it.I hope everyone will have a great day!
