A Huge Thank You

In the past I have explained how I am just awful at tooting my own horn as they say. To boast of brag as my Gram would call it just isn't in me. Yes I have made alot of really cute items but I would leave it at that. Then today I received an email thanking me for a sock monkey set I had made especially for a photo shoot.  Now most of my customers write to say thanks it turned out cute but this email made my day.

Just wanted to tell you how awesome you are !

Momma LOVED the monkey set.....baby looked ADORABLE in it! *wink*

 

Thank you so much for always doing such a great job for me! :)

Yes, the set turned out cute, but I think the photographer had alot to do with it. I went and visited her blog and sight and was amazed at a set of photos with a field of sunflowers. What imagination !

Now I have been using my two little guys at home for models and thought I did really well until I saw these shots. If you need work done and live anywhere near Heather I would highly recommend her. The work is amazing!

An Irish Blessing

May the Blessings of Each Day


Be the Blessings you need most



We cannot share a sorrow,

If we haven't grieved a while

Nor can we feel another's joy,

Until we've learned to smile.



May the Leprechauns be near you

To spread Luck along your way.

And may all the Irish Angels,

Smile on you St. Patrick's Day.



May the saddest day of the future

be no worse . . .

Than the happiest day of your past.



Health and long life to you,

Land without rent to you,

A child every year to you,

If you can't go to Heaven,

May you die in Ireland.



May the Luck of the Irish possess you.

May the devil fly off with your worries.

May God bless you forever and ever.



Have A Good Day Always

One of our little leprechauns !


I am getting a head start on sending blessing for St. Patrick's Day....now I am off to get the soda bread strted and a grocery list together. 
Later today I hope to post some photos of the new sweaters and adorable birds I did for the etsy shop and share a new recipe I found for the holdiay. Have a great day

Harvest Fest Windows

The windows in my shop and at the diner are finally painted to announce the coming of Harvest Fest. We met this morning to decide on who works the pancake breakfast, bake sale items and Sandy will be taking my job of hanging the corn stalks throughout the downtown. If only I had the info on the concert beforehand I could have worked that all in. Another example of not working with each other for a common good. Silly, that grouwn ups can't get the idea of cooperation and that if we all work together it lightens the work load and the end result is better.....enough of my rambling about Montello.
I am busy getting more frog hats and sweaters done for the fest, they make great costume alternatives for the little ones. This year our little guys are going as dinosaurs...we watch alot of dinosaur train on PBS here. The two dalmation sweaters are alomost done and the skink hats are down to the finishing touches, I will be glad when I can tag them and put them in the shop. With our little guy under the weather I am amazed I have anything done....he wears me out.

New items for Spring

This is not to the face I was going for.  J.J. ASKED to model but this face looks more like"Grandma made me wear this "

I have just added a Duck hat, hooded duck sweater, hooded frog sweater and a duck sweater and hat to the Etsy shop. Hopefully today when my little helpers go home I will have time to add them to my site as well. They are on hand in the shop in Montello and the first duck hat sold yesterday. That LITTLE GUY DID'NT LOOK NEARLY AS UPSET.

I am still between ducks busy contacting crafters for our upcoming Great American Moose Fest, space is still available and it is a huge family fun event.
