Roomba Kitty

Roomba Driver @ Yahoo! Video

Ok...Now this is the funniest thing I have ever seen!! I was laughing so hard watching this I was crying! I have 4 cats and they just sit and watch mine go around the room. Sometimes they will let it come up to them, then jump out of the way. Hope you enjoy this video as much as I do! :)

Snowman Angel Door Doll

Finished up this cute Snowman Angel last night and listed him on ebay tonight. Only a few days till Thanksgiving! I'm ready for some turkey! I've got 4 pies to make this week. Yikes! We have two Thanksgivings. One on Thanksgiving and the other Saturday.

Cinnamon Ornaments

These ornaments sure make it smell like Christmas in my house. I first made these years ago when my daughters were in grade school. We got a bunch of cookie cutters at a garage sale and went to town making them. In the picture are a few that they made then. And the three of us made more a couple of years ago. It's amazing how well they keep their scent. Every year when I put them on my tree the whole room smells like cinnamon. I store them in zip lock bags. Here's the recipe on how to make them.



Cinnamon Dough Ornaments

1. Mix 1/2 c. ground cinnamon and 1/2 c. applesauce until it makes a dough.
2. Sprinkle cinnamon on work surface and roll out dough. You can place dough between wax paper and roll out.
3. Cut desired shapes with cookie cutters.
4. Poke hole in shape with toothpick for hanging the ornament; for a larger hole, use a drinking straw.
5. Place in dehydrator or 150 degree F oven until dry.
6. Use spring or ribbon to hang your ornaments.

Folk Art Santa's

Can't believe that Thanksgiving is next week! Wow...where has the year gone. I managed to make up these Santa's today while babysitting my little 4 month old granddaughter. She is growing so fast. I love to hear her chatter and giggled. And her smile just melts your heart. I listed these Santa's on ebay tonight if you want to check them out. Thanks!!

Skiing Snowman Doll

Here's another one of my skiing snowman dolls. This one has a tall skinny christmas tree at his side. I think this guy has the cutest face. He is newly listed on ebay tonight.

Candy Canes

OK...I managed to make up a sweet batch of prim candy canes today. Just listed them on eBay. If you want to check them out, just click on my eBay link over to the right. I tell you....It sure seems like Christmas around here lately. We may get some snow flurries tonight. And neighbors are putting up their holiday decorations already!!

Busy Busy!

Besides babysitting everyday I have found some time to make up a few things to sell on ebay. Last night I listed some awesome snowman stockings. And tonight just listed a cute snowman guy. Love the way he turned out for a skinny old guy! LOL

A Few pics from my North Carolina trip

Here's a few pics from our trip to Waynesville NC. The Fall leaves were just beautiful. The pictures don't do it justice.

The second day we were there is snowed!! I guess it was very rare for that to happen this time of the year. We got a special treat. We drove up into the mountains that day where there were a few inches more then where we were staying. I couldn't believe how beautiful it was with the fall leaves and the snow. We stopped at one of the waterfalls and got some awesome pics as you can see. Below is a picture of my daughter and son in law.

Back and Ready to Go!

It's great to be back home from our vacation to North Carolina. We had a great time! I'm still working on getting my pictures together so I can post them on here. Got some beautiful pictures of the fall leaves in the mountains. I really needed the break from sewing. I feel energized and ready to sew again. I made these 3 christmas tree make do's today in no time. They are listed on ebay now. Hope you will stop by and take a look.

A Day in the Pumpkin Patch

Saturday, my two daughters,granddaughter and I drove to Country Corners to pick out our pumpkins. We got a little red wagon that they furnish for you to use and headed out into the pumpkin fields. It was a little muddy, as it had rained the day before. The picture is my daughter and granddaughter Cora. She is 3 months old now and is cute as a button. As you can see she is sticking her little tongue out. Cute! She's been doing that a lot now and making cute little noises. We didn't get that big pumpkin she is sitting on, just two regular size and a little baby pumpkin for me to cut out.

And I couldn't pass up taking some pics of flowers. This is a flower that would eventually turn into a pumpkin. Don't think its going to make it. I just thought it was beautiful

Another Snowman Guy

Will be listing yet another snowman guy on ebay tonight. This will be my last auction until I get back from my vacation.

Snowman Guy

You could have fooled me today that winter is on its way! It was in the 80's and bright and sunny! It sure was nice. But a cool down is on its way by Tuesday. Here's another Snowman Head Doll I just listed on ebay. I'm really liking the old quilt for his scarf.
