Romeow Romeow

I've finished up a small batch of OOAK items and will be headed out to Crossroads in Somers CT this afternoon.

I am especially fond of this little guy, and created him for one of my kindred cat lover friends...

It's been a rough couple of weeks, with sinus, ear, and toothache things going on.... That all seems to be resolved, thankfully.  It's hard to be creative when not feeling that great!  

Now that I'm feeling good I have gone out and purchased a new computer, long overdue, and updated all my programs.  What a huge ordeal... Nothing looks the same and I am having lots of duh moments here.  After several days of fighting with it, I think I have my stuff moved over and I mostly remember which buttons do what.  

My son was gifted with the other "new" computer, so he will stay off mine!  The slowmo computer is headed out for some maintenance then will be put back to work...

I did manage to finish up the pattern for Romeow, the last of my Valentines... It took longer than usual to make everything work like it should!

From Me To Thee

Hope you're all having a wonderful January.... once again we dodged the snow, with only a bit of heavy rain today.  It's still looking like early spring, except for the snowmen in the windowboxes!  But things can change rapidly in New England. 

I spent part of the day making more of the ticking Valentines banners for etsy and for my site, and writing out the first pattern of the year, although I am working on writing several, as time permits.  

Finished product as well as paper pattern and epattern can be found on my website and on etsy. 

Enjoy your evening!

     

2012 Valentines Special

Hope your holidays were happy ones.  Ours was wonderful, and we spent a great deal of time cleaning, organizing, and doing a bit of renovating. 
2011 was a rough year all around, with an abundance of hardship in the mix.  Hubby has still not found a job... keep him in your prayers please.  
We made it through, but the passing to 2012 was most welcome here! 

Cupids, Leprechauns, Bunnies.... just a few of the newest creations coming to life on Sassafras Hill.  I'm working on some sweet! valentine ornies and thought I'd offer the newest designs as printables.

Folk Art Festival of New England

Well, we are packed and just about ready to leave for Marlborough.   This is one of my favorite shows, with many phenomenal artists.  

 This month has passed very quickly, in fact the whole year has been a flash.  I am doing shows for the next four weekends...busy, busy, and beyond busy.  I enjoy the shows, but I'm scaling back next year and will be spending more time hunkered in and writing patterns.   I will be offering more finished product on my website too....  That had been the plan for this year, but when hubby lost his job, I reacted by signing up for far too many shows.  Which means I'm working hard to create enough product, and not enjoying as much as I wish!  A bit stressful...

Anyway, this will be my first little burst of Christmas offerings.... hope you can come out for the show!

Crossroads October Offerings

I've updated my offerings at Crossroads Gift Shop in Somers CT.  Included is a selection of hand done autumn prims, signs, and my feedsack lamps.  Towards the end of the month I'll be adding some winter items and will be on hand during the Dickens weekend with some one of a kind items. 

A Somers Day

How exciting it is for the first show of the autumn season to be here.  It crept up very quickly!   We will be doing shows for the next several weeks.

 Tomorrow, SUNDAY, September 4th, we will be displaying at the Somers Day of Arts and Crafts, on Route 190 in Somers, CT.  You can find us in booth 14, on the front sidewalk.  I love this show!   It's a homey small town show, with world class crafters.  Just the right size.   Hope you can come out and spend some time with us!  It looks like the weather will be perfect.   Further info can be found on the blog for the show.... A Somers Day of Arts and Crafts   

 A peek at last year's display....

Have a fabulous weekend!
