Getting Ready For The Fair

I'm getting ready for my next craft fair and I thought I would share some of my new creations.

Punchneedle mitten.

New little Raggedy Annie.

I made this cutie using a pattern from Patties Ratties.


Crocks

Same crock...each crock has a pair of cranberry, green and blue mittens.

Where has the time gone?

Where has the time gone? I just can't believe that it has been so long since I have put anything in this blog.

I have been getting ready for my craft fairs!

I do about 4-5 shows every year...all in the fall.

I added some pictures of my booth at the Cheery Cherry craft fair.
I'll take you on a tour.

See my new punchneedle pictures? My new favorite craft to do!

See my crocks...they are my best sellers.

More fall stuff. The scarecrows on the top shelf are my favorites.


I can't do a craft fair without Christmas...my favorite holiday.


Back to fall. See my fall leaves crocks on the top shelf. I have them all over my home.


This fair was the end of September that's why I have so much fall. I added Raggedies this year. I love making dolls. It's how I get my girlie fix. I am surrounded by males in my home.

Inside the suitcase are my penny rugs. That suitcase was my grandma's...it still has the label with her name on it.

Potpouri in the basket. My fabric sunflowers, crows and scarecrows in a crock of course.

Back to where we started.

If you like what you saw and would like to make a purchase I have some of these things on sale on ebay, etsy and my website at http://www.harvestmoonbythelake.com/.

Come see me at my next fair.

Now I need to get back to painting and laundry and sewing and laundry and punching and creating and laundry and way too much laundry!

Annies

I found some new patriotic fabrics and when I added them to the fabrics I had well, I just had to make some Annies. These Annies are just on time for the summer. This first one is made with a pattern from Patties Ratties.
This Annie is just a cutie with her round head and wild hair! I made her with a pattern from Sweet Meadows Farm...with my own touches.
This Annie is my favorite! I designed her myself! I just love the fabrics I used to make her dress! And her wild hair! Can you tell I'm into hair...I used to be a hairdresser. The weather is so nice I'm starting to think about summer!

Piano Recital

Boy, does time fly! I can't believe how long it's been since I posted.

I have been working on my crafts and opened up an ebay store. I am the "paper" manager for Jack's soccer and baseball team. I do the paper work for the team...send out schedules, email reminders and anything else the coach needs me to do. I'm a control freak so by volunteering to be the manager I know what's going on. This weekend has been on and off rain. That has made the playing fields very muddy. Jack did get to play soccer but our first baseball was canceled.

I have also volunteered to help with the Cub Scout picnic. Planing the meal and making the meal. I love planning parties so I thought this would be fun. I just found out that last year we had 250 people. EEEEK That's alot of hot dogs and potato salad. LOL We have a good group of parents so I think this should not be too bad. I will keep you posted.

Today we went to Jack's piano recital. This was his 4th recital and he did a really nice job...no mistakes that I could hear. I am so proud of him. He did a duet with his teacher...Theme from Symphony #40 by Mozart. My niece played piano at the recital too. I think this is her 8th year. I was just in awe of her piece...it was beautiful. I think she must have two sets of hands to play all those notes. I am very proud of her too. There were 2 high school boys who played for us today. They were awesome. One of the boys took state in the WMCA music competition. I like seeing the boys because I think it encourages Jack to keep playing. I have told him that he could quit piano when he's 18...this way when he asks if he can quit I say sure in 9 years. We'll see if it works. I am so happy he's playing piano because I never played an instrument but I have a love for music.

Next week is Mother's Day...it's one of the most fun days of the year if you're a mom.

Have a happy week. ~*~Leanne~*~

Pictures of Seattle

Seattle home of Starbucks. I had to go the the original one across the street from the Public Market. I bought a coffee thermos and had them fill it full of coffee....yum. Now I feel like I belong in Seattle...everyone walks around with a cup of coffee.

Looking to buy a water home in Seattle. Lake front property is expensive but you can get this brown gem for a mere $300 thousand. It's one of the oldest water homes on the lake.

Beautiful lake front. I wonder whose house is next...can you tell I like looking at homes.

Oh, look it's Bill Gates home. Yes that's right. I don't think we can see all of it because of the hill it's built on. What wonderful lake frontage. I wonder who the neighbors are?

This is the aquarium. Our family loves looking at fish, eating fish, fishing...just about anything that has to do with fish.

These are just a few of the pictures we took in Seattle. We had a great time...Thank You Seattle!

A quick trip to Seattle

We took a quick 5 day trip to Seattle, Washington. What a beautiful area. This was my first time there. It is so different from Wisconsin but I loved it. I thought I would share some pictures.

This is the city of Seattle taken from the top of the Space Needle. If you look real close you can see Mount Rainer.
