The Fall and buying to create

It is almost the middle of November and still seasonally warm, cool in the mornings but nice and toasty in the daytime. The holidays are getting closer by the minute and I am constantly thinking of ways to create new things to make. To keep myself interested and challenged, I try to find new and interesting textiles and fabrics to accomplish that. I have a store on ETSY. While searching fabrics one day I found an awesome store. I purchased some bunches of Amy Butler Fabric, Kaffe Kassat and a few others and used these fabrics to make purses and totes that I have pictureg in previous posting on this blog. So,,,,,, the store now is open on the internet with a much larger and broad selection. This site is wonderful for color, patterns and ideas and I hope that you will take the time to check it out. The store is Hawthorne Threads and I have included the link for your perusal pleasures..... I encourage everyone to seek this store out. Hope to hear from you all!!!!http://www.hawthornethreads.com/ Click on the title about fall at the top and youcan go right to Hawthorne Threads. I hope you you will enjoy the sre as much as I do!
Here is my latest purse listed etsy.

It's Fall

It is getting a bit chillier outside and certainly it is cooler when I am waking in the morning. I have begun a big undertaking for a friend of mine in the antiques business. She has collected for her daughter, many, many, many, hens on nest, roosters on nest and so forth. She is now cleaning up and is selling them, through me, on eBay. I loved the red slag hen and rooster she gave me to sell, made by the L.G. Wright Glass company. I decided to use the hen as my picture of the week! She looks pretty and reminds me of the turning leaves outside. If you are interested in any to purchase, go to my shugswhimsyworks link on the upper right side, click on it and my listings will show up!

I started a new hooking project for a gal in NY. She has a grandson going to college for the first time so I hooked a pillow for her that says, "CALL YOUR GRAM She WoRRIES!!" and then hooked here tele number in the pillow as well! I and almost finished. I will take a picture and post it soon!

Hope this finds all of you well and I look forward to getting some input soon.
Happy fall.

ROOSTA the fine feathered BIRD

I have been really busy making a variety of different things this summer. I just finished painting this rooster. I named him Roosta and he is brilliant with color and attitude. I listed him on my ETSY site, shugsthisnthat, and hope to find a home for him. On top of all that, I also have a set of hand painted placemats listed on my LemonPoppyseed site, shugswhimsyworks. I painted them so that they are reversible and can give the buyer years of use and variety. The mats are painted with a traditional pineapple and then on the other side is painted a faux barn wood with stars adorning one side. I have another set of four that will be listed on my ETSY page very soon. Not quite finished yet!

I have also been creating some handmade purses and because I am getting addicted to the purses and such, I bought myself a new sewing machine. Boy I never knew how much sewing could change using the same ole machine!!!!! I am sure most of you can relate to my words on that one.

Hope all is well with everyone and I look forward to hearing what projects all of you have been working on. Ciao for now! Kim
