Morning Sunshine!

2009-03-18T12:53:00.003-04:00

Hello all! Finally... Sunny, warm days!! What's better than that? Just what everyone is waiting for. =) I've been working on some Witchy Primitives. I know it's springtime with bunnies, eggs and chicks. But I love making Witchy Prims all year long. There are some really great Witch items on eBay right now and I've just listed some myself. Well... I'm off to stitch up a Witches hat. Enjoy!!!

Hello All, whew! I hope to someday learn how to pace myself :) I surely haven't been able to achieve that yet. My Daughter is getting married in July of this year. I started preparations and I just want to keep going until everything is set in place, taking time to eat & sleep of course. I am not so worried about how the end result will be. I have plenty of helpers, with the best ideas and willing to lend a hand. I just want to have as much as I can, organized for the best chance, that on the big day, things run smoothly.
Blessings All!

March, OMGosh so close to Spring! It really doesn't look it. We have freezen snow everywhere here. I have been extra busy & just bursting with new ideas! I have been trying to organize my thoughts so I can put them all into action. When I have everything ready, I'll list a post and share my creations with you. I'm also trying to put up some more listings on eBay. That's going just ok. Just not enough time to get all the things done that I would like to do!

Take Care of Yourself!!

Love is in the air...

2009-02-10T17:41:00.017-05:00

Love is in the air... Valentine's Day is this Saturday and there are plenty of cards, balloons, flowers & candy for sweethearts to exchange. I would like to share some quotes on love with you. All are from women. I hope you like them! Enjoy this Valentine's Day with the ones you love! Here are the love quotes...

You can give without loving, but you cannot love without giving.
Amy Carmichael

Love has nothing to do with what you are expecting to get -only what you are expecting to give-which is everything. What you will receive in return varies. But it really has no connection with what you give. You give because you love and cannot help giving. If you are very lucky, you may be loved back. That is delicious but it does not necessarily happen.
Katharine Hepburn

Love is like a beautiful flower which I may not touch, but whose fragrance makes the garden a place of delight just the same.
Helen Keller

If we make our goal to live a life of compassion and uncondition love, then the world will indeed become a garden where all kinds of flowers can bloom and grow.
Elisabeth Kubler-Ross

We can only learn to love by loving.
Iris Murdock

Loving is not just caring deeply, it's, above all, understanding.
Francoise Sagan

Love is something like the clouds that were in the sky before the sun came out. You cannot touch the clouds, you know; but you feel the rain and know how glad the flowers and the thirsty earth are to have it after a hot day. You cannot touch love either; but you feel the sweetness that it pours into everything.
Annie Sullivan

What's your favorite antique?
Something I really enjoy is visiting Antique Shoppes! These shops are just filled with so many olde treasures. The quality, detailing and craftsmanship is amazing. I am very fortunate that my daughter shares the love of antiques. It's so much fun going together and seeing which things she picks out to take home with her. I have my favorites too. Some of my favorites are mason jars, glass bottles, kitchen gadgets, anything to do with sewing , watering cans & books. What's your favorite olde treasures?

Wow... It's February & Spring is just around the corner. I love spring! It is my favorite season. I look forward to the warmer temperatures. I enjoy digging outside in the dirt & planning a flower garden each spring. I can then be creative outside the house. Inside the house... it's a great time to make dolls. I have already started on some Annies. I love how each Raggedy Ann takes on her own personality as she is finished. I plan to put some up for sale on my website & some up for auction on ebay. I better go and get busy. Take Care!

Please ~ Make your own Hummingbird Food …

Hanging a hummingbird feeder where you can easily see it is the best way to watch hummingbirds in action.

Please do not buy expensive hummingbird nectar that contains harmful food coloring - make your own ~ from this simple ~ Hummingbird Nectar Recipe …
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Recipe ~ 1 part pure cane sugar ~ to 4 parts water ( rain water or tap water)

first ~ Boil the water for 5 mins. ~ then measure and add sugar ~ at the rate of 1/4 C of sugar to 1 C of water ~ that's it. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This is the way I do it ~ I measure a little extra water into my 2 cup glass measuring cup ~ the water evaporates some when it bowls ~ pour the water into a pan and let it boil 5 minutes ~ then pour the water right back into the glass measuring cup ~(now you can see exactly how much boiling water you have) add 1/2 Cup of sugar ~ stir to dissolve ~ let cool some on the counter ~ (when cool) ~wrap the top tightly with sarah wrap ~ then into the refrigerator until I'm ready to fill the feeder ~ Done!

I use a tall Shepard’s Hook ~ the kind that you use for hanging plants ~ I set it in the ground ~ right outside the backdoor of my kitchen ~ it's a high traffic area ~ it doesn't stop the hummingbirds from making frequent stops at the feeder to take a sweet drink.Enjoy!!!

Since hummingbirds are territorial, you may want to hang two feeders - one in the back yard and one in the front~ to accomodate as many hummingbirds as you can.

You will need to clean your feeder every few days or so ~ you will be able to tell ~ use hot soapy water and a ~ water and vinegar solution (to inhibit mold) Rinse very thoroughly before refilling with nectar.

Some common flowers that will natural attract hummingbirds to your garden are ~ Bee balm, hollyhock, hibiscus, trumpet honeysuckle, clematis, impatiens, phlox and fuchsias.

It was a really great day for Primin' ~ in the morning I was able to make a mixture of stain, that I used to stain some new dolls ~ and also the clothes for them! I prefer to let them dry in the sunshine when I can, and today was perfect for that! - In the afternoon I worked on cleaning out my flower pots and planting new flowers into fresh soil. My daughter gave me two ceramic mushrooms to stick in the dirt ~

I think they look wonderful next to the newly planted flowers.
