Wow! Have I Missed my Blog!

 Hi Everyone! 


For the past couple of months, I have been busier than usual.  Family stuff -  not fun or quality time, not vacations, just helping people out who have no one else to help them.

  I want to do it but it sometimes feels I have no time for me.  Even my lunch breaks are spent helping some days.  By the time I get home and finish working and helping, there's not that much of me left for me, you know?

Not having the time to work on projects or to even read many blogs has stifled most of my desire to be creative. 

Pinterest has kind of been a kind of God send.

All you have to do is look at pictures to become inspired! 

I love this vintage dress in aqua and the retro curls and the suitcase and the shoes and the purse and the word "Peppermint"...Oh my!


Pinterest is fun.  It's a fantasy world.


Look at the dinner table set for Christmas dinner in Pink!

Roses and Holly!  Gorgeous!

The house is quiet this morning and

Outside, it's overcast and cool.

Cool weather energizes me!

It has been so warm here until this weekend, finally a cool snap... It's only July, I know!

It helps to have things to look forward to as well.  So,

I have been making some of these and enjoying myself, while looking forward to Fall and cooler weather, Christmas and cold weather....

Nylon net fairyland trees are in my etsy shop again, and I am taking custom orders as well.

I've been blessed enough to have about 7 custom orders in the past month at a time when I really needed the money!

Now, I am about to "get down" with my trees, and see how creative and fanciful I can make them for Halloween and Christmas. 

The trees are mostly needlework and are so relaxing to make.  They're also so pretty to have around the house, 
even if it is July!

I hope everyone is having an especially wonderful summer!  

I have been keeping up with some of your blogs and your fabulous vacations!  

Come fall, I plan to see many of my blog friends who I miss SO much!

That's all for now and I will try not to be such a stranger!

xoxo,


Jennifer
