Well, once again I have received the call to pack my bags to head south. If they decide that we are needed I will be leaving by 6am tomorrow. Yes 9/11. The Fire and EMS service are supersticious. It just feels weird to leave for a catastrophic event on 9/11. I am not as wound up this time as last since we were cancelled last time. I am at work and will once again pack up my ambulance and get her ready to go. Then I need to head home later and get some laundry done. I will be gone for 2 weeks if we go. Which means I will be gone for my birthday. No biggie though as I've turned 29 something like 5 times all ready... LOL. So, it you do not hear from me after today you'll know where I went :-) So please remember...
So on to what I've been working on. Other than what you saw on Monday I haven't done much except Christmas. I do wholesale to a few select stores and my friend Kim from Salt Creek Mercantile asked me to make Christmas pillows and ornies that would remind you of an old fashioned Christmas so this is what I came up with... also I have been working with Kim on her new website...Salt Creek Mercantile. If you visit please bear in mind we are not done and are having difficulties with the graphics person finding a picture she likes. BUT... here are some of the great items she carries... We didn't want to go live yet, but she has some great fall items that I don't want people to miss out on. Make sure you check back often as we are still working on adding items (fingers crossed Friday if I'm still here)
Pillow tucks there are red ones and green ones...
I made 18 of these with all kinds of Christmas sayings, but you get the idea... They are both red and green...
These pictures don't so them justice. I did read one page of my camera book and now must try what I learned to take better pics for you.
Pam from Wooster just a note I missed the Budweiser Clydedales at the fair... I totally forgot they were there until I saw the newspaper. I think my son would've loved them.
I hope you don't have to go!
