Today I finished more things for the show. Now I'm working on finishing those small chairs, and tomorrow I hope to get them done. I will have to bake and get ready for Thanksgiving on Wed. and need to have Ranjr groomed because the girls are taking the boys and Ranjr for a picture for us for Christmas Wed. evening. Should be a real riot.
Rained all day today, yuk, but I guess it's better than snow.

Getting things done
Today I really got some things done for the show on Saturday. I normally don't do shows any more because of the shop but this one is special, they helped me out when I needed a show, there is no cost involved, so it doesn't hurt to do it.
Hopefully people will be buying, I am trying to price things according to the economy so we will see.
I need to finish those small chairs, got to get them out of the garage. Had the boys today, typed a report for Nick, cooked their favorite chicken and potatoes.
Yesterday went to Easter Seal got a few things, Rand helped me defrost the down freezer, what a chore, but glad it's done before Christmas baking.
I am really getting the want to do Christmas stuff and put things up but have to wait another week, then I can do it.

Our New Baby
Forgot to mention our newest addition, after 8 years of not having a dog, we got Ranjr in May. Name is for Rob, Anthony, Nick, Joey and Randy.
He is absolutely the best puppy, he is now 9 mos old and a joy. He traveled to Fl. 14 hrs. both ways and was just perfect.
He is loved in Fl. as much as he is loved here.

I'm Back
It's been over a year since I posted. Dad passed away and I'm missing him terribly. He was such a wonderful man, he's been my dad for most of my life.
Many crafts have gone through my fingers and I feel I have mastered the roses.
Been painting them on everything including chairs, eye glass cases, ornaments, you name it.
Boys are growing, Rob is 16, Jill would be so very proud.
Will try to keep you with this Blog and post interesting pics.

Saturday, September 8
Nick and Randy both had soccer games today, rain was threatening all day but we didn't get any to speak of.
Nick won his game what a great job he did, then we brought him home. He wanted to help his mom get ready for the block party. Jan and her neighbor organized the first on their street in 30 years, and what a wonderful job, there were about 50 people there, everything was just perfect, lots of food and fun, neighbors having a great time. I'm so proud of Jan, she does a wonderful job with parties and entertaining, just like Jill did.
Randy's team tied the score but he scored his first goal of the year, what a little team player he is, runs his little heart out.
Nick and Floyd played for the block party, and I just can't believe what a great job he does on those drums, he is quite talented.
Randy, dad and his brothers went to Harley night in the park and I worked in the garage trying to finish up some things.
I am working on these sculpey roses, and going to make ornies out of them, they are looking pretty good.
Will take a pic soon.

Wednesday News
Today I checked the thrift store cause it was 1/2 price day, what a packed place, but find that I get better deals the day before, found two tablecloths, and some odds and ends that I can use.
Had the boys yesterday, so didn't get much done, but today after thrift store went past my uncles and they had moved him into assisted living, cousins were cleaning out the house, throwing things away, I stopped for a plate I had left after my aunt died and left with a couple old oil cans, a railroad lantern, a beautiful picture that hung over their fireplace as long as I can remember, two old watering cans, a Baldwin brass candlestick, they are just pitching everything, so sad to see someones whole life just disposed of.
Did some paperwork, burned old receipts in the chimnea tonight and did a little painting. Finished painting on some stitcheries, painted some wooden thingamabobs so I can put the sculpey roses I made on them, think they look great and will take them to the Victorian Room to the little shop they have there.
Tomorrow, hope to paint more, have some pillows to finish, will post pics soon.

Happy Labor Day
Today is Labor Day, it is to honor laborers. So happy Labor Day to all out there.
No picnic today but going to Olive Garden w/ Mom and Dad. Trying to do a little crafting today.
Have been making roses out of sculpey clay, think I will try and make some ornies with them.
Have lots to do today, a little cleaning, a little washing, a little creating.
Weather is just beautiful must take the time to enjoy that too.
Have a lot of things to put on eBay, lots of doilies and shabby items, just waiting for template to be finished, then I can get started, so much stuff.
Don't think any thrift shops are open today, Oh no! What will I do.
Just have to bite the bullet and wait till tomorrow.
