~Prim Pumpkins And Cupcakes ~

I can hardly wait for this coming Sunday to get here…as it is the start of my show season for this year. This coming Sunday I will be at “Oktoberfest” in Urbana and the following weekend I will be at the “Sauerkraut Festival” in Waynesville. I’ve been working on 32 little pillow tucks and hope to finish getting them stuffed tomorrow. I’ll share some of those with you on my next post in a few days.

I have almost all the fabric pumpkins done and thought that I would show you a few more of them.

I think I like these better than the first ones that I made…and I’m pretty sure that one or two of these are not going to make it to the show on Sunday. Why?…because I might just have to keep one or two for myself. I used to always take everything that I made to my shows with the thinking that I would just make myself another one at a later date…the only problem there was that I never did. So now if I really like something that I make for my shows…I make sure to keep one for me.

I’ve made so many pumpkins that I believe I’ve made a pumpkin patch!! (36 of them) Hope everyone likes them as much as I do.

I’m not sure if I ever mention that Mr. D works for a health department…and they are getting ready for their swine flu shot clinic. Needless to say, things have been very hectic for all of them at work. Well…while standing in the check-out lane at the store, Mr. D and I saw the perfect thing to bring a little fun to their busy work day. We just happened to see the perfect cupcakes on the cover of cooking magazine. Oh, yes we did (LOL…) and Mr. D & I made ~Piggy Cupcakes~!! I heard that they were a big hit and everyone loved them.

Hope everyone has a wonderful “Fall” week…and I’ll be back in a few days to share the pillow tucks and hopefully some other goodies that I want to get made. I’ll have to see how my week goes as I still need to get a few cloths made for the displays in my booth. Since I’m no longer making embroidered/appliqued clothing, we needed to get a new display to replace the clothing rack. I’m happy to say that we did find some…but I was even happier when we found this on sale…

… a little red Paula Deen coffee pot!! It matches the pots & pans the Mr. D got me for Christmas last year. I just love it sitting on my stove top…it makes me smile every time I go into the kitchen!!

Until next time….. prim blessings, Cindy

~Prim Fall Towels & My Eggs Are Standing On Their Ends~

I can’t believe that my first show of the season is only about 10 days away. I wish that I felt more ready then I do…it has been a slow go at making things this week. I do feel better from that nasty fall that I took, but my right hand still hurts and about two days ago it turned all those pretty colors of blue, purple, and yellow. However, I finally got my Fall towels all done and I thought that you might enjoy seeing them.

I’ve had Josie some this week as my DD is in CA on a business trip. I could tell when I picked her up from school that she wasn’t feeling well…turns out she had a fever of 103.3. We called her daddy at the firehouse and he got ahold of Josie’s doctor. They had us bring her right in…turns out she had a bad sinus infection. I happy to say that she is feeling much better today…almost back to normal. Even though she wasn’t feeling the greatest, my little sweetie said she wanted to help her grandma get some crafting done…she stuffed 11 fabric pumpkins for me!! I had to adjust them a bit, but she did a really good job on them and it sure was a big help to me since my hand still hurts.

 

I learned something on the first day of Fall that I just had to share with you. My friend Linda (the one that lives close to me) sent me a text that said: “It’s the Equinox. Eggs will stand on their end!!” So of course, Josie and I had to try it out and guess what….we couldn’t believe it, but the eggs did stand up on their ends!! Pretty Amazing!! Josie took the photo of the two eggs to share with her science class the next day.

 I have one other thing to share before I end this post. A lot of my blogging friends had ask to see a picture of me since I lost the 40 lbs. (almost 45 lbs. now) and got my haircut. So, here is the new me…Mr. D took this for me on our front porch and the big star you see in the background in hanging on the chimney.

Until next time….    prim blessings, Cindy
