Knot much...

Needless to say, I really don't have much to write about...I forgot my camera the other day. No pictures of the booth after a re-fluff!
Still waiting for my mom, she was supposed to be back earlier today, but was having so much fun with her old friend that she's...running late. Her dogs haven't been too bad. I think they are more than ready to go home.
It's been an interesting & busy last couple days.
I haven't had much time to play however,
my sister is going to have a scrapbooking, card making gathering next Sunday....
I haven't figured out what I'm going to take, yet.
Several of the girls want to get into scrapbooking, but don't know where to start. That's where my sister & I come in...she's the scraper & I'm the stamper...so we thought between the two of us, we could show them a thing or two. It should be fun.
Well...I'm off to take care of the gang.
Hope everyone's had a good weekend!

bags & tags

I've had a bag of material for months...grabbed the sewing machine and put together a few little bags. My husband calls them "And What Knot bags". What am I going to do with all of them? Who knows. Right now, putting little bunches of material in them. I might take a couple out to the booth to sell. They turned out really cute. Some have one handle or two.
I've sold many chalkboard frames out of my booth. I love them. So when I saw these little wooden tags at JoAnne's the other day...I had to do it. Fun little chalkboard tags!


Finally, I transferred an image I found for free, yeah free, from the Graphic's Fairy to fabric stick sheets for an ink jet printer and made myself a bag. I love how it turned out.



Hope everyone's having a wonderful Thursday. Myself...not bad...staying busy!
My mom's heading out of town for a few days, so we have her two dogs, my two, plus I groomed two this morning. We're going to the dogs in this house!!
Going to hit an estate sale in the AM, then re-fluff my booth so that it's all pretty for the weekend. I have several new things that I'm taking out. Looking forward to it. Going to the antique mall is my relax-mode time, even though I'll be working in my booth.
If I remember to take my camera, I'll share pics tomorrow. Until then.....
have a good one!

Tea-dying & dirty finds

Whew...I almost forgot to share my dirty finds from yesterday with ya.
Since it has been raining, sleeting and snowing today, I decided to tea dye fabric & tags today. My husband brought home a few tags from work...he saved them from being thrown away.
210 tags later...I started a few sewing projects. I'll share them once I'm finished with them. A brass 3 armed hanger, a lovey wooden box (a weakness), and I'm really not sure about the other thing. It's cast iron.
The cast iron thingy, a rug beater, and masher.


A metal recipe box, two more wooden boxes, a wooden and cooper spool, and a metal pulley piece.

With all the messy weather, I had a wonderful, productive day today.
The worse part, I had to go to the store to pick up a few things.
Hoping that I can make it back to the estate sale in the morning before my grooming appointment gets here & the weather permits.
Ohhh...I almost forgot...you should check out www.fionaandtwig.blogspot.com. They are having a great giveaway...."The Flea Market Style" magazine.
I'm thinking that's going to be my new favorite magazine.
Have a wonderful evening!

Estate Sale finds

FINALLY...I found a couple Estate Sales this morning. yippee!! I haven't taken a picture of my dirty finds yet. I ended up in the shed with a couple of old guys & a few mice...yikes~! One of the old guys asked why would you want to be out here? I told him ya just never know what you'll find and smiled. He just shrugged his shoulders & went on digging. I think I'll go back Saturday morning when I'm not wearing a cream colored hoodie and trying to stay clean in a shed with 1/2 inch of dirt on everything's kind of tough. I didn't want to go back home to change cloths before getting my driver's license picture taken. Loving the yellow elephant planter. I kind of have a thing for animal planters.
2 little bells, a pitcher and a platter

Purple glass 3 pc. nursery rhyme dishes...too cute.


A wonderful silver tray, fish bowl, ribbed bowl, and 2 little glasses.
Hoping that everyone's had a wonderful day...until tomorrow.
