Walker Homestead Show is this Weekend!!!

I've had a really great span of creating handmades for Walker Homestead while passing the hours caregiving to my mom.  It helps bring peace to some otherwise very stressful days.  I have done a bunch of all new designs while working on some of my old favorites too.  It's hard to believe but the show is upon us and we are all packed.   If I make anything more before I setup on Friday I will either have to sit on it or have it on my lap on the way up....   :-) 

I simply can't wait.... for us this is a bit of respite and the weather looks like it will be stunning.  Looking forward to seeing everyone again.   ~  D

Spring Sampler

Thank you everyone!  I was surprised and touched by the outpouring of support we received.   We had the best show ever and I came home with a much lighter load.   I loved the booth this year.   I was pleasantly taken aback by how colorful the booth became as I filled it.  I certainly needed a breath of fresh air after a long winter of trudging through snow and mud and cold to spend my time next door :-)

and so now I am moving on ahead to creating for the next show and coming seasons.... 

a peek of our handmades for spring.

  Next year we have already been granted a larger booth.  Yay!

With gratitude.....

Thank you everyone who came out to see us at the last few shows..... Walker Homestead, Deerfield and Old Wethersfield were all fabulous shows for us!   It was enjoyable and heartwarming to get out and about, even if just for a few days.   

hmmmm.... not sure why this didn't publish.   I still had it saved in draft form, but sending it through today.

                                

                               

                                

Walker Homestead Spring Show - Our Next!

We have been working since March on handmades and have also had a few picking adventures in anticipation of Walker Homestead.  I am working like a bee trying to finish up a few things for the show.  I will have plenty of dolls, bears, and mostly one of a kind creations.  A few pictures from last June's show....

 

With caring for my mom, this will be a tough act to follow, but might be our best show of the year considering.   I am really looking forward to a day away with friends.

 

Today I will finish a mouse and a hen.... both are to accentuate our picking finds. 

Hope you can make it to the show.   It's been the perfect spring for Kris and Paul's beautiful gardens! 

Etsy Pattern Shop Sale

Good afternoon all, and Happy Earth Day! 

 

 

It's very chilly here in Connecticut and I spent my morning in the kitchen, painting a huge estate sale cabinet for my doll making fabric.  This is by far the best forty dollars I have spent in a very long time.   I am determined to get my act together this year!   It's the first time I've tried chalk paint for furniture, and I am loving it.  I'm trying to decide how to finish it now.....

 

My momma has been in decline and it has been weighing very heavy on my heart.  It seems she loses a little piece of herself every day.   We are trying very hard to do what's best for her.  I do not post about it very often, because then it becomes more real than I can handle.  Most nights I come back home and weep silent tears for her.  So please if you can, a little prayer for her would be most appreciated.   

 

We are stealing away to one of my favorite hot dog joints in a bit.... They opened a few weeks ago, but this will be my first time this season.
