Watermelon!...

Hey Everyone!...I have been so busy!...Crafting away!...getting ready for FALL!!!Yea!..I love Fall!..Can't wait for it to get here!..Anywho I wanted to share an idea I got from another blog..(I really wish I could remember the name)...I seen it and fell in love with look!...She took a piece wood wedged from a tree cut down and painted it to look like watermelon!...I thought now why didn't I think of that? My FIL had a few trees cut down on his property and I took the wedges...They have sold like wildfire!..Who would've thought?..I kept the biggest one for my front stoop!..here it is..I have had several neighborhood people want to buy it!...I already have a couple of orders for them too!..Well I just wanted to drop a quick post!...So until next time...I'll take mine Americana!...

Hello all my prim friends!...here they are!...I really love the look of the tote!... I added a rusty star to the front...I came across these stars at a swap meet..9 for 2.00! I was sooo excited!...my mind was already working before hubby and I even left the swap meet!...I think the tabletop bench looks pretty good too!..whatcha think!..I am new to this and I am having a great time!..I hope everyone is having a great start to your week!....Until next time..I'll take mine Americana!...

Still working!....

Good Monday morning to all!...So over the weekend..my hubby and I went crazy going to swap meets, garage sales, craft fairs and antique malls! We had such a great time! On our way out Saturday morning...my husband says (he works at our local highschool) one of our Science teachers threw away an old rocking chair...it is beyond repair..but I really think we could use the spindles on some crafts!...I thought..hmmmm...let's go check it out!...Boy oh boy am I glad we did! I love these!..One of the things we built was using one of the spindles as a handle!..(I got this idea from another blog..I wish I could remember which one..oh well.."Thanks" whoever you were!) We found so many cool things on our weekend hunt!..( I will post pics later). I am now making table benches...I have had a request for these..so here it is (of course it still needs painted and sanded and distressed!)..October (my craft fair) will be here before I know it!...so I better get back to work!...Until next time..I'll take mine Americana!
