Today you can find me at Simply Klassic Home, sharing a post for Kristin’s Attitude of Gratitude series.
I hope you’ll pop over and say hello! Today I am in Seattle to begin the grand house-hunt. I arrived last night, and my main thought was, “There are too many people here…I want to go home!”
Hoping today is a better day!
I need to re-read my own post on gratitude ;-)
Hi everyone – well it has been quiet here recently and that’s perfectly fine with me from all that has been going on since the middle of October – a nice welcome.
Saturday and Sunday we went to craft shows…I really needed to take a bit of a break from sewing on orders all week so there was a Round Robin in Elkhorn and the vendors were located at 5 different locations. Very nice but soooo much of the SAME THINGS at each location. I honestly didn’t find a single thing to buy. Now if I was in the need of jewelry or knitted things or fleece then I would have been in heaven…but I didn’t.
Then Sunday we went to Brookfield (in Milwaukee area) at the high school – now this was a great show…it went throughout the halls and into the gym. Again lots of the same things as the last show…not many Primitives or home decor – lots of greens all decked out with glitter and glitz but not much of what we all like around here in blogland. I would loved to have seen some nice Snowmen or Santa’s done plain but they were all gopped up!
I did manage to buy a little trinket dish with some jewels on it for a gift for one of my granddaughters but that was the extent of it there. BUT….I did see someone some of you might know from the blogs…LEANNE from Harvest Moon By The Lake: http://harvestmoonbythelake.blogspot.com/
Doug took the picture with his phone so it’s not too clear.
I had forgotten to take pictures of the wool I purchased when we were in PA…I don’t know if I’m going to use it on Penny Rugs or cut it in strips for rug hooking. I bought it in Bird In Hand, PA but the label says Yankee Lane Primitives…I looked it up but they only have over dyed and solids…not plaids. I’m so looking for LARGER pieces of plaids and checks – not little pieces.
I got a special order for six chair backers with a sheep and a year…I worked with her through e-mail with pictures as I went along to get her approval…this is the end result.
But now she hasn’t replied back for over 2 weeks…I’m afraid she was in the path of the storm Sandy (she never gave me her address)…I’m not worried about my sale because I will hold on to these if and when she’s ready to buy…I’m just praying she’s okay and that it’s just a matter of power and that she didn’t loose her home to the fires that destroyed so many lives.
Got new pictures of Miranda…4 months old now - she has gotten so big!
Okay, I said I would put pictures of ROOTS MARKET on so here they are
There are 20 of them so I left them in album form…just click on the picture box and you will see them all.
(these will open up in SkyDrive…just click on one of the pictures when it opens up to vies)
While sitting here sewing all last week I had Christmas music going and then I thought…hey QVC is showing their gourmet foods at 3:00 so I turned it on…well I haven’t watched QVC in YEARS!!! But like most I got hooked…I ordered a JUNIORS CHEESE CAKE for Christmas delivery – it has a picture of Santa on it that is edible. Most of us like cheesecake so it’s one dessert I don’t need to fuss with.
And I bought some Mrs. Prindable’s Chocolate & Sea Salt apples, and it’s all dipped in Caramel! YUMMMM.
They are to be delivered next week early so they will be here in time for Thanksgiving. 
I guess that’s all I have to share this week – my brother Gene SIL Gail are coming over today and we’re going out to Dan DiPaolo’s farm because they can’t make it for his Open House on Friday and Dan is always so wonderful to let us come early and being they will be here today he said come on out!!! Hopefully I will be able to shoot a few photos…if he’s totally set up that is…sometimes we have to worm our way through the boxes.
On my website I posted that the deadline has been met for all Christmas orders…I need time to finish what is here and then to get ready for my holiday here.
I most likely will be back one more time before Thanksgiving but if not have a wonderful Thanksgiving to all.

Thanks to all of you who joined up for the All-Star Block Party last week! And another thank you to the All-Star Girls:
Holly @ Full Circle Creations
Shasta @ In The Old Road
Heather @ New House, New Home, New Life
Meg @ Nutmeg Place
for inviting me to be a guest co-host. It wasn’t an easy task to pick a few favorites from over 150 amazing project, but here are a few that caught my eye.
Shelly from Shizzle Designs used layers and layers of chalk paint to create the gorgeous finish on this dresser.
This amazing pantry makeover at While Wearing Heels has me drooling….they made their own library ladder to reach the top shelves!
I love these hand-crocheted snowflakes from Howling at the Moon. Wouldn’t these be pretty suspended from a chandelier?
As the mother of three boys, this Lego storage calls to me with a siren song…but I can’t imagine the work of sorting out the colors at the start, so I’ll probably just continue to admire this organization solution from 2 Little Superheroes.
And I love this great idea for turning old holiday cards into mini boxes from Sweet Boutique Home. Wouldn’t these be fun gathered in a big glass jar??
And finally, one more amazing furniture piece. Love the knobs, the script, the color…everything from {create inspire.}

P.S. Don’t forget, I still have a few items available from my Moving Sale. And if you would like to place a Christmas order through my Etsy Shop, please do so before December 10!
Today I’m showing off this card catalog that I refinished with gel stain (and kept for myself!) at The Copper Coconut. Hope you’ll come visit!
And don’t forget, you still have time to link up your projects at the All-Star Block Party here…
And be sure to check out my moving sale here!
This morning I started going through my stash of already-completed signs and canvases, and discovered…there are a lot of them! Since we will be moving before Christmas, I decided to take this opportunity to “lighten the load” a little bit!
If you’re not thinking of Christmas presents yet…now would be a great time to start!
Most of these are available in my Etsy shop, and they will go on sale there in the next few days. So consider this a pre-sale. If you are interested in any, e-mail me directly at RedHenHome@gmail.com with what you want and your zip code, and I will send you a PayPal invoice. I am happy to combine shipping!
