Rose Hips

I took full advantage of this glorious fall weather we are having. I harvested these beautiful rose hips and have them all de-thorned and ready to add to my Christmas creations! Love Love Love these in Christmas decor. Blessings to you all!

Kentucky Bourbon Trail

What's Kentucky known for? Bourbon and horses!!! This past weekend we hit the bourbon trail to tour some century year old distilleries. I so enjoyed the ambiance and the rustic charm. I also have a soft spot for old wooden barrels so that was right up my alley! This was a very educational and fun trip if you are ever traveling to Kentucky. FYI ninety percent of the world's bourbon comes from good ole' KY

Weird Weather we are having!

We are having some crazy weather here............I went from a week of upper 80's to cool and chilly today. But boy did I ever take advantage of that summer like weather. I have been busy upgrading the homestead and planting some crops. The homestead porch got a fresh coat of stain and some cozy rockers for company , and for my own personal enjoyment of coarse ;)

Tater's and Onions 

New Fountain 

As for in the shop, the floors have been garnished and cleaned. Everything is organized for spring and there is a ever growing pile of things to take to Goodwill! Lol, I have to remind myself daily I cannot keep everything or I will end up on the hoarders show! At any rate I have had some productivity and listed several goodies on ebay. http://www.ebay.com/sch/gigi69/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_from=&_ipg=&_trksid=p3686

Blessings to you all :)

Brrrrrrrrrrrrr It's Cold!

Man Alive it's cold here in eastern Kentucky! The winds a blowin and howling and it's trying to snow. I've taken advantage of this cold weather and been housed up all day crafting away! I've been listing new goodies on Ebay and Etsy. This weather really makes me long for spring :)
Blessings to you all,

Happy New Year!

Hope everyone's New Year is off to a great start. Anyone made any resolutions? Mine are to get organized and to be debt free. I have enjoyed my eleven straight days off work and I took full advantage of them. Been decluttering and rearranging. My sweet BF made me some more shelving in my pantry, which is needed badly. Hope these pics inspire you on this new day of the year :)

 

Saw this idea on Pinterest, they used a basket. I couldn't find a basket deep enough so I made do with this awesome old wood box I had lying around! This has been working great, as soon as I come in the door all my "paper clutter" gets filed.
