When I went to Walmart yesterday, I discovered that Ree Drummand of the Pioneer Woman (a cooking show host) has a new line of kitchenware. Many of the cooking show hosts get their own line of kitchenware and most of it I don't like, not because of quality, but because of design.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But when I discovered Ree's new line, I nearly flipped. Not only was it beautiful but so colorful and well thought out. It's design is more kitchy and 1950' retro and just a fun line all around.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I purchased this darling, but large, mixing bowl and I just love it. The colors are bright and vibrant and it has a nice weight to it, not to heavy but just right. It holds my utensils for now. LOVE IT!!!<br />

I could only buy a few pieces yesterday as I have other bills to pay and couldn't go wild and buy all the lovely pieces I wanted. So what's a girl to do you ask? I went on Walmart.com and checked her line out. I also started looking at the reviews. I HIGHLY recommend you do that before you buy. Some folks were disappointed and it was mainly with the dishes with the flowers and red boarder. Of course, those where my favorites. </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-hUPKn6kNF6E/Vg5tcFG4fCI/AAAAAAAADbY/MI2mVCoJ8Qo/s1600/k2-_32a912c6-db4a-46f4-9931-5ba929780297.v3.jpg-96b177797e70b07252387ec6882953d463857fd2-optim-450x450.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-hUPKn6kNF6E/Vg5tcFG4fCI/AAAAAAAADbY/MI2mVCoJ8Qo/s320/k2-_32a912c6-db4a-46f4-9931-5ba929780297.v3.jpg-96b177797e70b07252387ec6882953d463857fd2-optim-450x450.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
These dishes are so much prettier in person and when I read the reviews I could have cried. Lots of chipping, discoloration and they don't do well in the dishwasher are some of the complaints. Boo hoo, sniff! So I will just get those plates in the bread plate size as that size won't be used every day but will be pretty at a dinner party with much less use.</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
Her cookware got GREAT reviews and they said good, even heat distribution and easy care. Awesome!!!</div>
<div align="center">
This is a 4 quart dutch oven and comes in 4 colors. It got great reviews.</div>

The cowgirl lace plates got great reviews and her other solid color plates also got good/great reviews. These plates come in 4 colors, teal, white, red and brown. I'm a red girl so red it will be.</div>

These darling drink dispensers got fair to good reviews but the complaint was mostly of not getting both sets of lids, as it comes with 2 different styles silver and printed. No real complaints about the quality, they all loved it and this piece has 2 different uses as you can use the base for ice and soda pop chilling. (see Walmart for a pic of the other display)</div>

<div align="center">
Over all Ree Drummand's new kitchen line has great reviews. There were so many things she offered I couldn't get pics of all of it. But she also had a cake stand which is in the banners but nowhere to be found to purchase online, that's a Walmart error not hers. I did see it at the Walmart store and it is beautiful and so 50's. Love it and going to buy it as soon as I can!</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
Don't forget Ree has cookbooks available too! I know, I sound like an advertisement for Ree's new line but it's so lovely I couldn't help myself. LOL!</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
All of Ree's new line is very affordable and you can now put any of the bigger items on layaway at Walmart since it is the Christmas season.</div>

<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Its been a really, really, really long time since I have posted here on my blog. Since doing wholesale I have been so busy, I just can't keep up. But I've made a decision to finally once and for all, quit doing wholesale due to the physical problems that have occurred and the time it takes to make all the products for each client is just to consuming. Wholesale is simply "exhausting". Since doing wholesale, I have developed shoulder and arm pain and wrist pain. Its no longer worth the pain and agony of hurting this poor old body. So that being said, onto a new adventure!</span></div>

Not to worry, these are sweet and soft Alien Monsters. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have been working for well over a month on the Polkadot Angel Project and had been making the same type of doll everyday. I needed a creative outlet. So off I went to the craft room with some very wild ideas. Once I sketched out my design and copied it, I traced it onto the fabric and started the process of creating a "Monster"!!! Eeek! Now my plan was to use this design for the Polkadot Angel project but it became to complicated...sniff!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-mUquwuH4ZSo/UdQos1S010I/AAAAAAAADG8/kMVrtnaJQAQ/s1333/AlienMonsters2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-mUquwuH4ZSo/UdQos1S010I/AAAAAAAADG8/kMVrtnaJQAQ/s640/AlienMonsters2.jpg" width="480" /></a></div>
<div align="center">
My first design was to have the arms sewn onto the front of the body. Although I liked this idea, I didn't really like the results. But he is still cute though. I used minky fabric which has a soft, plush feel to it and great for kids to cuddle with.</div>
<div align="center">
<br />
</div>
<div align="center">
Now for the Purple People Eater. Oh I mean the sweet, soft people squeezer! That's better, we don't want to scare the kids. This guy is just a dolly! LOL! I mean he is so sweet and bright and cheery you just gotta love him even if he is from outer space.</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Wu0XuB-lsT4/UdQoxLzossI/AAAAAAAADHE/4QIPoKYWJPM/s1333/AlienMonsters1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Wu0XuB-lsT4/UdQoxLzossI/AAAAAAAADHE/4QIPoKYWJPM/s640/AlienMonsters1.jpg" width="480" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Using fleece for his body, which is so very soft, I also sewed on bright cheery fabric and added arms that look a bit more natural. I sewed on a vintage button for his nose and added a cute flower patch for his eye. Last but not least, I added some orange, alien fur (wool roving) just for a bit more sparkle. He's a colorful kind of fellow, wouldn't you say!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div align="center">
They play well together and they didn't push each other to much so I could get this photo. There are more Alien Monsters from Outer Space coming and I plan on making a pattern for this darling monster too. They will be available here on this blog in the near future, as well as my Etsy shop:</div>

I wanted to let you know that I will be moving my intire shop over from my current website. I have long been deciding this was a good idea since I am not able to take care of both website and blog. So one has suffered neglect, sometimes both. I will keep my website up and running for a couple of months to get everyone aware of the move as I transfer pics and patterns over to here for your shopping convenience. It has been a long time coming, but I know I will be happier not having to up keep both blog and website. <br />

Below is a pic of my son Colin. He is a bit younger here and we were at Kill Devil Hills, NC. We love it there, so does he. Another precious gift God gave me. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My son is so funny and will totally crack you up. He loves to make facial expressions and tell jokes. He loves animals and is very gentle and caring. Not to mention very handsome indeed!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
Colin has compassion for others that most people will never have.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He is so smart and very creative, like his momma. LOL! We both love to sword fight with my kitchen spoons, when he gets mad I make faces or say silly things till he starts smiling. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He is just an amazing kid. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He's the love of my life. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am so blessed.</div>

What a blessing it is to be a mother. <br />
Sometimes its hard, sometimes heart breaking, most of the time is just plain wonderful, but all in all, it is a gift God gave to women. <br />
<br />
If you don't have children, you still can be a mom, so many kids need love.<br />

<em><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I have become so in love with Annie dollys lately. I went through my black doll phase rather quickly, I'm sad to say, but Annie dollys have taken over my world and I can't seem to stop making them. Below are 5 Annie dollys I have made for my booth here in Martinsburg, WV. Although I have not tucked them in the booth yet. I still need to paint it and get it ready for my girls!</span></em></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Speaking of Sweet Annie, above is a dolly I have sent off to Prims. She will be making her debut sometime later this year. Isn't she darling! I love the giant bow. She wears lots of vintage lace and buttons. Very dear indeed.</div>

Last but not least is this darling Queen Valentine doll that I made for a very lovely lady named Karen. She was a Special Order and she came out great. Big blue eyes and her sweet dove, they both are wearing crowns of course. </div>

Meet Noel the snow doll. She is a delightful little snowgirl that I just created. You can find her at <a href="http://www.snugglebugblessings.etsy.com/">www.snugglebugblessings.etsy.com</a></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
This pic shows you all of her although I feel I need a doll stand so you can see her dress better. Will go pick one of those up and re-shoot her for you. She is holding a velvet stocking with a vintage style tree with antique pearls attached to it.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I had some extra beeswax/soy mix and poured into this "Old Santa" mold and then added a pinch of greenery and berries. Rubbed some spice blend on it and walla, a lovely prim ornie. Beeswax lasts for a very long time, so you can hold on to this ornie for years. (<a href="http://www.snugglebugblessings.blogspot.com/">www.snugglebugblessings.blogspot.com</a>)</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Can you catch the Gingerbread man? This is another darling primitive ornie I created to hang on your tree, or just be a shelf sitter, if you will. I added glass glitter to give him a sugary look. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
I wanted to finish up some of my primitive dolls for the season. I am heading into a Vintage kind of design style soon, but wanted to give you all a chance to get a couple of my prims before I do. </div>

It has been a really long time since I have written patterns. So today it is one of my goals to get started writing them. This old Snowguy is getting his pattern written. I'm hoping to have it listed this week some time. He is a jolly old fellow.</div>

This snowguy is a part of the above pattern so you will get two styles for the hats in one pattern.</div>

I thought I would share with you last weeks excursion to one of my favorite antique malls. One of the booths there has tons of milinary pieces and I really wish sometimes I were rich. Oh well, its still lots of fun to visit and see what wonderful treasures I can find on a budget. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div align="center">
While digging through each of the drawers from her displays, I found these darling, knitted gloves. She had many gloves there but I just liked the softness of these pretty gloves. Ladies from not so long ago wore these to church or a special occasion. I charish the danitiness of of these gloves and wonder who wore them and what special occasion they wore them too! Was it a Christianing, church, wedding, it could have been any of the above or even all of the above. Who really knows, but its still fun to think about.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Along with my finds was a small peanut butter jar jammed packed full of buttons, I mean jammed packed. I didn't think you could get so many buttons in a jar, but I am loving it. So many pretty little buttons, red, white (my favorite), black, blue and ecru. </div>
<br />

<br />
<div align="center">
Now on this excursion I found some lovely lace pieces. They are stunning and was quite a large amount in each package. I can't wait to use these with my dollys. Tucked under the gloves is a cherry napkin I purchased for only 50 cents and there was no damage at all. Very lovely indeed.</div>

<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Y-wZV0rDKPY/UIYII8AdaUI/AAAAAAAABUQ/pahLzbE0QhE/s1600/BeehiveCottageLaundry.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Y-wZV0rDKPY/UIYII8AdaUI/AAAAAAAABUQ/pahLzbE0QhE/s640/BeehiveCottageLaundry.jpg" width="530" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now I know what your thinking. This is not my laundry room, but I do wish it was. This is Miss Gracies of the Beehive Cottage (<a href="http://missgracieshouse.blogspot.com/2010/08/whitey-whites.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">missgracieshouse.blogspot.com</a>) laundry room. Isn't it dreamy. Sigh!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now this is my laundry room.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It kinda looks like hers well maybe just the layout. But I know in my heart and see it in my head, how this laundry room could look like hers, don't you!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-2M_DxyYLgbo/UIYH7EMkrKI/AAAAAAAABT4/ApNlxY56vbw/s1600/LaundryRm1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-2M_DxyYLgbo/UIYH7EMkrKI/AAAAAAAABT4/ApNlxY56vbw/s640/LaundryRm1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So your asking "why does anyone want to do a makeover in the laundry room"??? Well because I spend so much of my life in there and I think every girl deserves some pretty and feminine pleasure and the laundry room is a much needed place to pretty up. Come on girls are ya with me!!!</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div align="center">
Now I bought that dern clothes separator not taking any measurements and it is way to big for that spot. I can't get to my cleaning stuff or any other needed items there. So I gotta go to plan "B" and find something smaller to fit that spot. Also, I am in much needed storage above my washer and dryer so I am hoping to get shelving up soon. What a blessing that would be.</div>

This black shelf is nice but I am going to paint it white and gussy it up a bit. Below, is a pic of some fantastic organization in Ophelia's laundry room (<a href="http://opheliasgarden.tumblr.com/page/2" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">opheliasgarden.tumblr.com</a>). I love the pretty glass jars in it and the sweet lace above the baskets is such a nice touch. The key here is to keep everything one to two colors, not overdoing it I think. White is a clean, fresh look but can be steril looking, thats where the lace, glass jars and linen curtains can come in and pretty things up.</div>

Last but not least is the great homemade laundry detergent (below) I discovered on Pintrest and have left you a link to get the recipe from. I can't wait to try that. They say that this laundry detergent last for months and cleans better than any store bought and is better for your skin. </div>

Nothing is more exciting for me than going antiquing on a Saturday. Yeah I did the laundry, worked on wholesaling, cleaned the kitchen, dusted and changed the beds. So you can see I got my chores out of the way first! LOL! Below, is the mother load of vintage red and white bowls. I was able to attain 7 all together. I'm already using them all over the house. Aren't they pretty!</div>

I also picked up this pretty Valentine hanky and had wished I took a pic of it open. All 4 sides have the heart on it. Gorgeous! You can see the pretty depression glass to the left of it. Its in my bedroom for now. I love it!</div>

Now one of the battenburg tiers has mildew on it. Boo hoo as I love these so very much. Susan, sister in law tried her hardest to remove it. If you have any tips, please let me know. I think I'm going to try to dye it again and see what happens. (thanks for all your hard work washing my linens Susan)</div>

I let her out a little bit several years ago, then put her back only to try to create items that I thought would please people and make sales for me. It wasn't where my heart was. Although sometimes we have moments of confusion. LOL! As my wholesale business comes to a close, my plans for my new business and future are coming to the surface. I have done lots of research, Pintrest has been a weath of information and inspiration for me.</div>

And eventually owning my own shop. It is my dream, and I am not going to give up. I'm hoping to open a booth soon, but need to finish the wholesale work. So as this dream gets closer, my anxiety increases, (oh but in a good way), the urgency to finish my wholesale is even greater and a bit of fear of the unknown dangles infront of me. But whats a dreamer to do? Get busy and do it! </div>

More ideas: You could print them on paper, fabric or cardstock. They make great ACTs, tags etc. I hope to have some of those made up in the near future for you in my tutorials section. So hold on tight. Things are about to change here soon. Crossing my fingers, can you cross yours too!?!</div>

Don't you find hanging up laundry outside and organic experience? I do. There is something relaxing to me as I hang up each laundered piece on the clothes line, the fresh scent that it has, the breeze blowing lightly and the quiet time I have with the Lord. Ya, I do like it alot.</div>

Before my precious Rottie pasted away, she loved to come out with me and help me hang laundry. Well, supervise mostly. She was always checking out the yard to make sure no bad guys would get in. I don't think they would be interested in my yard do you?</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My dogs loved to come a just hang with me when I went out to do laundry. It is so simplistic, natural, organic. It is from a simpler time, I think we all miss. So how about go hang some laundry outside today. Feel the freshness of the air, before it gets to cold to enjoy. Your pets will follow or maybe even your kids too. Get them involved, they can hand you the clothes pins. See you outside at the clothes line. By for now. God bless.</div>

Its no surprise that I have been working on Christmas dolls for wholesale. Many of you know that. So I have decided to share some pics of them. These are a few pics of my Santa Stump Dolls. (Hidden in the Attic pattern)</div>
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is a Santa in cream color. I love Santa in the cream color, oooh la la!</div>

Below are my snowmen ornies all are aged with coffee and a spice mix. They are my pattern and design. These are pretty big for an ornie.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
This guy below is another one of my patterns, (soon to be made into a pattern). I like his sleepy eyes. I have decided he speaks with a British accent, kinda like this "well, pip pip and all that sort of thing" . Maybe I should get out more, LOL!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I also made him with a cap hat from flannel, but didn't slip a pic of that in here. I am almost finished with my wholesale orders. I will do some wholesale but want to scale back so I can venture back into paperclay dolls again in the vintage style with laces, printed fabrics, antique trims and more. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I hope you enjoyed peeking at my wholesale dollies. We wholesalers have to finish up the holiday dolls way in advance. I need to play more Christmas music. Okay, just kidding. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hope you can stop by for a visit again. </div>

These are pics of West Virginia (pics complements of our Tourist Guide) where I live. Aren't they amazing. I love it here and especially like Autumn. There is no other season like it. Deep, rich reds, blackened greens, sun kissed yellows, multi-colored blues, and weathered browns all create an eye popping display of God's handywork. When the wind blows the trees sway to the symphony of the leaves rustling and swirling around and birds singing of Autumn's arrival.</div>

I love the smell of the cherry wood burning from a cabin, the hint of freshly fallen leaves on the ground and the weather getting colder. Are you ready for hot chocolate, warm comfort foods, and marshmallows? I have to say I am. Take a walk outside in the woods, ride your bike down a path covered by a canopy of multi-colored leaves or by a river drenched in Autumn's magnificent glory.</div>
<div align="center">

<div align="center">
Hope to see you on the path this Fall.</div>
