Hello December!




I love December with all the excitement of Christmas, birthdays and ETSY!! I had an all time high sales in Oct., Nov. and hopefully December....aprons are flying out of here as fast as I make them! YIPPEE.....I read on etsys forums that 10 billion or was a million, people shopped etsy's black Friday weekend, WOW that's allot, there's over 350 thousand vendors there with awesome talents and goods. I feel so privileged that folks love my wares and I get to take a small piece of the pie home.....I'm sewing 8 to 10 hour days, but strangely loving it! Busy hands happy hearts, That me...in the midst of redoing out kitchen I'm sewing away, taking the pressure off DH to get it done. Looks like this weekend he'll be putting the finale touches on our sweet new kitchen, pics soon. He jumped in there doing it all himself, worried that it wouldn't look good, but I love it and love him for working sooo hard on it! He had all the cabinet doors hanging to dry when the pole that was holding them crashed and messed them all up..back to sanding, repairing the broken ones and wringing of the hands, he stepped into the challenge and went forward. He's just that way, as I see him growing in his faith so does his confidence. I love that guy! And besides his sweet self he can fix stuff!!!




Now off to get the stuff back into our new kitchen!

I can't wait to see your new kitchen. Ours really needs to be redone as well but we have no $$$'s right now for it. :(
It will have to wait a few more years.

Congratulations on all of your Etsy success! I'm so happy for you. I am so glad that I found you. I just love everything that I bought off you!

((Hugs))

Thanks Laura, your the sweetest, and I'm not the only one who thinks that!!!!
The kitchen drama, I hear ya, our house was built in the early 70's so we freshened it up a bit..we started with a 1200 sq foot house and as the boys grew and we added a daughter to the lot we doubled the size of our house. Anyway its done for the holidays with me baking a turkey in our new gas oven, YIKES!!! Scary, I hope I don't torch up my hair!!
Blessings..

This is DH, I'm touch by the kind words. I think that when all the doors crashed so did my mojo. Half of them splintered and they all had to dry and be re sanded as well as repaired. Then I had to shoot them all over again. But it was a joyful and challenging project.

Blessings to all
