It is finished and all uploaded!

I know you all are tired of hearing about this....but wooooooot for me. :o)

And here is a lil something for you for putting up with my whining.

Post about "The Country Cellar" on your blog. You can even use the mini banner pic below. Then leave a comment letting me know, on my blog through August 31st. I will have a special drawing just from these comments on September 1st. The winner will receive a $25 gift certificate (and I will pay the shipping costs.)

Now back to our regularly scheduled program. Did I tell you I am doing a local craft show late August? Gotta get out to my playhouse now and make some new goodies to share. I have enjoyed in a twisted sister kinda way, doing the html and remaking my site. But I have also missed sewing and painting. Right now I have 5 dolls who are basically dressed but without hair, faces or other embellishments. First on the to-do list. And I have to get a blog background. Not loving this white. Got THAT done. Right after I get a very good rest! :o)

Getting closer...

I have been working on my website continusouly it seems one way or the other the past week. I have even been dreaming about it. LOL Sad huh? The Grand Reopening Party is scheduled for this coming Wednesday. I am calling it a party instead of an open house cause there are gifts involved. LOL AND there will be something special for all you bloggers. Hope you get a chance to stop by. If for no other reason than to grab the new free patterns :o)

Summer has finally found Indiana. I liked it better when we were missing!! I am just saying.

If you wanna know what I am doing...

head on over here. Sigh...this was not by choice either LET ME TELL ya. The upside is that I will be having a partay when it is completed. With goodies and sales. Hey, we all like a good partay right? And I will be having the website on a thumbdrive when it is completed. My good ole Frontpage let me down.

And I have to change this background. It isnt a good reading one I know.

I just updated my Etsy shoppe with prints, wool bears (these are the last 3) and a couple wooden pieces. Had meant to do this for weeeeeeeeks. But just hadn't felt up to par to get the pics taken and tweeked and then the uploading part itself. Have a couple of new dolls to add yet.

I have also have a sale on my stitchery patterns at The Country Cellar.

Yummy eye candy.

My friend Reeze worked up my free pattern into this sweet mini wallhanging. I saw it partially completed at our BPF Retreat. The center is appliqued. Reeze does amazing work and has her own pattern company. Be sure to check out Morning Glory Quilt Designs.

It has been horridly hot here. We had a smattering of rain here a couple of times today. Then a hard 5 minute rain just now. Mark has a rotten summer cold, but got the yard mowed before the rain.

We have had Toby 1 week today. I am still on the fence if this is a good thing or not. But he is a sweetie and our's LOL So I might as well get over it. Having my routine changed up has been the hardest adjustment. Old dog old tricks...new puppy new tricks :o))

So what's on your counter? LOL Mark got me all these gorgeous mums for Easter. I love flowers. They just make my heart sing. And Penny got me the hugest daffodils too. AND she got us the sweet bunny in the picture.

Here I am blog surfing. Lalalalalalala and what do I find? Sharon had posted a pic of a stitchery she did using MY pattern "A Lil' Birdie Told Me". How cool is that! I asked if I could share her picture with you all.

And this is a pic of my pretty girl Heather at Easter.

I am offering a blogger discount again at The Country Cellar. Type blog-promo in the voucher spot at checkout to receive 10% off your order. This includes clearance items. The wallhanging above is my Red River Pickin's. I did it all in redwork but it would look great done in colors too.
