Wow its been a week already. Time is really flying. I have been very busy on my magazine submission pieces. I am happy to say they are done and I will be mailed this week. I dont think they want me showing them ahead of time, so I wont put them on my blog yet. I have emailed pictures to a couple of people though. Now is all the "paper work" writing the step by step instruction list, and supply lists. Now I am wondering if having 4 pieces is such a good thing!? LOL. So I have gotten a couple things done and I have posted 6 new things to my etsy shop if you want to have a look around there. (thanks)
The first thing is a two dollar garage sale find. This was a white wicker rocking chair that was painted white. It need some fresh paint, so I decided on yellow. Dont think I really did not want to go with pink! You see George sleeping. He is the cat who loves tues. market chat so much. Its fast paced on the computer and its a huge chase game for him. lol
Next, my friend Judy and I have been making these pillow cases like crazy. I picked this fabric because the theme for my business is water lillies and color. So I couldnt resist. But they are adorable in so many color combinations. They take minutes to make and they even have french seams, so no raw edges. I am going to make a pillow case and matching pj bottoms for everyone for Christmas.
Then last but not least some new jewelry. Of course I am loving using Cindys roses. These are both on my etsy shop now. I cant wait to see what you all have done. I have a crazy day, so I promise to visit you ALL, but it may take me all day to do it. The best part of the day for sure!!!! until next time...........gail

Hi Gail,
Cindy's roses and jewelry are such a nice combination. They complement each other so well. I can see them flying out the door.

Nice job Gail. The cat is wonderful. It really gets me the way those little guys become so much a part of our lives. I have two and the two next door come in the cat door for a snack everyday. They don't have a cat door so once they are out they can not get in till my neighbor comes home so.... they come here!
Have a great week. Lilli
Hi Gail....everything is gorgeous! I just posted a pic of a wicker rocker I repainted this past weekend....4 can of paint and a very stiff finger later it looked much better than when I found it. Love your yellow chair!
