What You Looking At?

Isn't that the perfect title for this picture?

We have a small patch of woods in the back of our yard and the deer come to visit once in a while. I think they come all year long but I only notice them when there is snow on the ground.

Yesterday morning we had a fresh inch of snow with on and off snow all day long. I'm thinking of spring but the snow was so beautiful I couldn't stop looking out the windows.

What's that? We had 6 deer in the yard yesterday but only three came up on top of the hill.
I love watching the deer.

I hope they're eating the weeds...I really need help with the weeds.

By the time the school bus came they were gone.

Have a peaceful day,

Cold Winter Stitching

Wind chills here are below zero but it's sunny.

My sewing machine is in the shop and I really miss it.

I thought I would do some hand stitching...more penny rugs.

First I needed some different wool...I love, love, love fabric shopping.

It's not easy finding 80-100 percent wool and when I do find it the price is up there. I hit the jackpot! I found some beautiful plaids and nice thick solids. I came home and felted it right away. Felting is the process of bonding the fibers of wool together or you could say I shrunk my fabric. I like the word felting better it just sounds so creative not like it was a mistake. Don't you just love the look and feeling of felted wool? It's so soft and aged looking like it has a history.

I made this penny rug for Valentine's Day.

I'm waiting for a vase of flowers to set right on top.

I made this little mitten penny rug out of a sweater that I shrunk, yes shrunk. It was my son's and I think it was worn once or twice before it was snuck in the wash and in the dryer with a several pair of jeans.

When life gives you a little sweater make a penny rug!

Keep warm,

CPLG will soon be C&PLG

It has taken a bit of discussion and prodding but it looks like as of February 1st the ebay group I belong to, Country and Primitive Ladies Group will be using C&PLG as the new initials you type in the search box to find our listings.

Here's our story as written by Maureen. You see, for a very long time we have used cplg and it worked like a charm...until ebay made some changes in the search process. At first we noticed a few plumbing accessories mixed in with our handmade items. It seems cplg is also the abbreviation for coupling as in pipes. We wondered if "Garage Guy" (as we nicknamed him) noticed his pipe fittings were nestled among raggedy dolls, stitcheries, candle mats and painted goodies. We joked that perhaps he would shop with us for his wife or girlfriend as he looked over his listings. Then we noticed he had more listings than we did and it really cramped our advertising style. Our group's pretty handmade items were scattered over a couple pages of nuts, tubes, PVC pipes in all assorted sizes, pipe fittings, hose couplings and none of them cute or primitive! lol This was not the shopping experience we wanted for our wonderful customers and so we have decided on this little change.

A few gals have already started using the new initials in their listing titles and we all plan on being on board by February 1st. So remember, when you are searching for wonderful handmade pretties type C&PLG in the search box on any ebay page and prepare to be delighted! I have added a C&PLG link in the sidebar of my blog.

Enjoy your day...I'm off to stitch some penny rugs.

Christmas Dolls

I just listed some dolls on ebay. I love the Christmas fabric on these dresses.
This little school girl cracks me up every time I look at her.
I love red heads and orange heads.

You know me I had to add a little snowgirl in the mix.

I just love making dolls!

I put up our Christmas tree last night while watching Christmas Vacation.

It took me 2 hours to put the branches and the lights on...I really want a new tree with the lights attached. What would I do with that extra time?

I'm off to decorate a little more.
