Here is the last of my scheduled auctions for the CPLG FALLOWEEN THEME AUCTIONS. I have 10 items scheduled to start on Thursday, August 20 and Friday, August 21. This is a doll I made from a pattern of sew many prims. She was a lot of work (for me) and this is the first time I have ever made one and listed it to sell. IF AND that is a BIG IF. she does not sell she will be staying here at our home to live. Hope you all come and visit all our really great fall auctions.
Well since I will be gone when CPLG(country&Primitives Ladies Group) themed auction starts on ebay (picture on right side you just click on it and it will take you to all them)Anyway I cannot start my auctions until August 20 so I can be back in time to ship out all the items I sell hee heee anyway thought I would give you a sneak peek at some of them. I have to take pictures and get all written up and schedule them before I leave so that is why I am working on this now hee hee
I have a few more to finish yet and some more pictures to take but here is one of my new items. I just love it got one for myself too. I sit mine on our mantle however they are perfect for a desk at work, the coffee table or end table. For sitting on a shelf they are just perfect. Really like the idea of sitting them on a desk at work for that little seasonal pop.

A scarecrow wreath for your door or inside you home(not recommended for use in the outside weather

I have handcrafted all these and many more items I did not post. Just wanted to wet your appetite for what is to come in the future. I know all the other ladies have been busy creating and finding items for this launch. I know Becky has darling fall/halloween items in her ebay store. And I know some other ladies have been hooking,punching,stuffing and sewing to get ready. Hope we see you there. Now just because my stuff will be on ebay later in the week the others will be starting their auctions on Sunday August 16. Hope to see you there.
So we will be on the road so much in the fall too thought I better get my house decorated so when I run in the door between trips I could enjoy my fall decorations. Did not start out to do this yesterday was just going to wash our bed sheets, spare room bed sheets and run the vacuum well you know how that goes one thing just lead to another. I do have a reasonably clean house now, all the summer red,white and blue decorations are put away until next year(well most of them some I just like out all year long). So I took some pictures, but remember my talent in life is not taking pictures.
The first picture is the top of my computer desk. Hmmmm I did dust it but it is still full of clutter
This is the top of our entertainment center
One end of a long shelf in our living room
The other end of the long shelf in our living room

I know it has been so long since I have posted on my blog. We have been on vacation most of the summer either traveling or entertaining company. so thought I would come in and give you a heads up I am listing fall dolls on ebay right now. Hope you come over to my ebay and check them out. I will post pictures of the ones on there right now
first one is a raggedy I have drawn the face on with pencils(the eyes) and painted the rest of her face on. this is new to me so need to keep practicing drawing those eyes. I think she turned out cute though. The fabrics are some of my favorites for fall
Here is the second one. She has black pigtails and a real halloween dress on.
and for the final one guess what she is really ready for fall harvest time in her dress with fall leaves and turkeys printed on it.And just look at those little corn buttons I have tied to each side of her shoe straps.
Now would you like to see where you could purchase these babies???? well right here just click on the YELLOWSWEETPOTATO and it will take you to my auctions.
Now back to work for me. The group I am in on ebay *COUNTRY&PRIMITIVE LADIES GROUP* will be having a falloween launch starting on August 16.The ladies have been working really hard on some new items for this launch. I am also working on a few new items but will not be listing them until August 21. We will be in Wisconsin for the first on the launch but the falloween launch lasts all week long to check in all week for new items being listed.

Oh it is vacation time and I love love love it down here just a few pictures of our vacation. We went to our former pastors and Leta's house for a few days in Saint Cloud before we came over here to Daytona. Bro. Todd has had detached retina surgery and Leta is having alot of trouble with her blood pressure but we still had a wonderful time. We arrived in Florida during a heat wave. Did not know they even had those down here. But the beach and pool make it really nice down here.
Here is a picture of Bro.Todd with his head down. He has to sit with his head down for about 4 hours a day. He has a little rigged up item that he uses and of coarse we had to kid around with him.
Ok this is really how he has to sit for four hours a day and that is IZZY RUNNING away from me taking his picture.
Here is breakfast at the Todds.Bro. Todd and Cindy in the fridge "fixing" our breakfast.
Leta eating breakfast. Notice the nice fruit bowl Bro.Todd cut up to feed us
we had a pizza party and here is Bro. Todd and lisa(his baby girl)
Here is PIZZA AT THE TODDS
ok here we are Bro.Todd, Leta,Chuck,cindy and Don playing dominoes around the table in the evening
Ok from here on down is ALL Daytona beach and the pool(with us in it) the ocean, the table we sit around by the pool and ocean we are all just relaxed and having a great vacation
Here is a picture of Me and Don down by the pool and ocean
will post more later time to go play
bye
Well finally took some pictures of the yard and new pool deck(well not a new deck) just revamped deck. Don painted it, put lattice around the bottom to cover all the junk under it, and we bought a market umbrella and still to be done, new stones around the pool and deck, furniture added up there and welll last but not least we need to open the pool BUT the cotton wood seeds are a blowing very badly right now so as soon as they are done we will open it.
Now here are some pictures of the front of the house decorated for summer time
my favorite time of year besides spring,and fall.
Now I will share with you one of my favorite little corners on the side of my front porch. I just love my frogs even though they are really starting to show their age(about 6 yrs old)
Now i will just take you around to some of my flower beds. Pictures just do not do them justice they are beautiful in person. Weedy but pretty. The mosquitoes are sooooooooo soooooo bad I cannot even get out there and work(I am allergic to bug sprays so we just enjoy the weeed along with the flowers)
So since ebay is so slow selling right now I thought I would list my dolls on Etsy this time.
I finished this doll and she is in some of my favorite fabrics. It is a Debbie Mumm I use a little each summer. I am hoarding it to last as long as possible.
It has watermelons on it, cone flowers, lady bugs and it has the saying summertime and the livin is easy. I love this song and I love the summer time. I also sewed some watermelons up a couple weeks ago and painted them so she comes with a slice of watermelon in her hands too.
So just click HERE and it will take you to where you can purchase her and guess what????? SHIPPING IS FREE YES FREE FOR RESIDENTS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
Now I have listed one of my nurse dolls over there too. Here is her picture and just click HERE to go off to buy her.
I have a few other items listed there too so hurry over and check out my ETSY SHOP.
and keep checking back here Don has been revamping our pool deck and around it and today I bought a market umbrella in golden color to put up there. I will get pictures as soon as it is finished and the pool is open for the summer. First we have to take a trip to go see our grandson CODY MCPEAKE graduate high school in PIGEON FORGE Tennessee.
Have a wonderful holiday weekend HAPPY SUMMERTIME
