Stop by and pick a pumpkin ornament from my mini pumpkin patch on Saturday, November 7 at the Benn's Church Craft Show, Smithfield, 9am to 2pm... Or catch a turkey ornament just in time for Thanksgiving. My handmade ornaments are perfect as a hostess gift or as Thanksgiving place setting gifts for each dinner guest. Gobble Gobble.

Obviously, I'm hooked on sewing samplers. Just had all four of my finished samplers framed by Peninsula Custom Framing and Gallery in Hampton.

They're back and in a new location! Stop by Eclectic Treasures Vtg located in the Hilton Village area on Warwick Boulevard in Newport News and you will, once again, find the bracelets and keychains you've been looking for.
Paisley is 9 now. This is her third year making and selling her handmade bracelets for children. Rhett is now 8, and has been making and selling his keychains for two years. Both love to earn their own money that they make each month in their small business, and put half of their earnings in their own savings bank account and the other half in their own college fund account. Stop by and support their small business. They're so, so happy when something they make sells. Here are a few items that will be placed in their little shop this week.

Stop by and see everything you've always loved by Oakley Sage.

Ok, this project seemed to take forever, but I finally finished my mini ladybug plant companions.
Handmade, needle felted, stabbed my finger more times than I care to mention...grumped after that I should price them at 100$ each due to thinking at one point I may need a blood transfusion, but after my sanity came back I reduced the price to $8 each. I made eight... Catch one before they ladybug ladybug fly away. 🐞

Determined to finish needle felting these cute little ladybugs today... Think I'll turn them into bitty plant stakes. 🐞

Weekend cross stitch 5x5 mini using Weeks Dye Works floss on my own hand dyed cloth. I needed a small picture for a small area on the wall... Now, all I need to do is find a small wall that needs a picture. 🤔

Pretty day in my garden this morning... Found the wise owl at a garage sale for $3. Whoo whooo doesn't love a good find🦉

Look closely...I found a large funnel at a garage sale, where all good ideas are waiting, and turned it into a self-draining, hanging pot for one of my garden plants. I slipped the funnel into a loop hook that I sprayed a shiny red. Look for funnels...Any size will do, and remember, dents or rust add character and cuteness. And for an added bonus, when you water the plant or it rains, it has a built in drain.

Today's project idea is super easy... We all own a flattened w**e bottle that sits in a cabinet or drawer. Why not pull it out and tuck it in with a plant. Here's mine tucked in a hanging basket on my garden fence. Now, it's the most use I got out of it😂
