Good morning
*Grumble, grumble, grip, complain, kick myself*
Need I even go on LOL
Every year when summer hits I always say I am going to work work work on inventory because sells are slow
Let's face it folks are outdoors enjoying the heat and gardens etc.
Well every year I do not do what I intend to do and it takes a Strong Force to
get me moving and back in a creative mode
Pumpkin Noise Maker New for 2011 each year I make noise makers and always
design and make new styles for the year
Well here I am now working on Fall and Christmas/winter items
I can't decide which holiday I want to do LOL
And to top that off I am finishing up a Large order of
3 styles of pumpkins 12 each of them
6 Witches and 4 scarecrows
You may remember this witch from last year
Patti purchased this witch and sent this picture to me
And the scarecrows I sold so many of these last year
If you are interested in one of them let me know
There is a week left to get your name in
and just a little note here to see who is actually reading this post LOL

Brenda,
ReplyDeleteYes those are 90's in Ohio. What a week for DH and I to be off work. Not a whole lot of outside things this week that is for sure. Congrats on the blog birthday. - Christie
I hope it cools off a bit for you Brenda. Maybe that would help your creative mood. Hate to tell you it's a lovely 57 this morning, windows are open and the sun is trying to come out from behind the clouds that are lingering. Hubs went to cut our first load of firewood today.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your upcoming blog event. I'd love to be entered in your give away.
Hope you have a wonderful day~

Oh my goodness Brenda!! I thought it was HOT here, but I have to say you've got me beat. I have no motivation to work on projects this year & I don't know why. I can't blame it on Summer because I'm not a fan of the heat & humidity. I've been indoors most days, but am so tired after working that I don't do anything but play on the computer. Hehe!! I would love 5 bonus chances to win your lovely witch. She's fabulous.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your day~Becky
I'd love 5 extra chances.I signed up for the july too....I like fall weather better.I like to be cozy inside.Actually I love each season summer would be perfect without humidity..smile...Warm Blessings!~Amy
ReplyDeleteI am melting with 80's, I would die in that temp, lol.
ReplyDeleteI have been stuck inside with the air, but after awhile it gets a bit much, need to get out before I go nuts;)

Happy Blog Birthday Brenda...I love the pic of Patti's witch against the white door. LOL - you seem to churn wonderful creations out left & right - a down day of sewing for you would be a day I could only dream of! It has also been the summer of raising fur babies. In the heat. (Ugh). Keep on creating! ~*~Lisa
ReplyDeleteHi Brenda,

Well, I'm with you Bren. Give me those 70 temps all year round and I'd be happy as a lark. I love your new designs and that pumpkin noise maker. Looks like you've been productively idling along;o) so don't kick yourself to hard.
ReplyDeleteHugs~Carol
Hi Brenda!
ReplyDeleteYou must be running around naked and cooking up eggs on your sidewalk with those temps!
And do know that even if I don't comment, I read each and every post faithfully!
Looking forward to the BIG event! ~.~
That must be why I am sitting here on the computer instead of getting up and cleaning... Texas heat! Love your work and glad I just found your site.
