Almost time to leave! Jimmy and I are leaving for San Diego wednesday to stay with our friends. A little sun sure sounds great right now! I hope everyone has a great rest of the week.

My dad called me and asked me if I'd like to go to an estate sale.... It was only a few blocks from my house and only a couple more than dads house. He just bought a house within a block of me :) I said of course, so the storie goes..... I have never been to one of these before, only heard of them. Although it was sad to see people going thrue someone's belongings some good came from it I guess. I got this set of antique furniture. The day before it was priced only 800.00 dollars and on the second day it was marked to 400.00 which is when I arrived with my daddy :) He bought it for me! pretty cool Dad I think. He has also collected 4~crocks from my great Aunt and Uncle that belonged to my Great Great Grandmother last week. He's always got an eye out for my fave antiques! I love my dad so!!!! Please dont pay to much attention to the ugly bedroom, Jimmy and I re-did all the kids rooms from the walls to the floors and in this process I moved my room upstairs which is a finnished off attic. I have to get new flooring and paint still :( but I do have cool furniture now to put in it! You will see the the headboard is way to tall to get into the room :( and the dresser mirror is too tall for placement as well. I wanted to cry. I'll figure something out, kinda wishing I had not giving my old large tall ceiling room to my daughter.

2010-02-24T10:05:00.000-08:00

Back to painting with OILS.....They seem to suit me best. The colors blend the way I like. I started this piece today but cannot concentrate on it for I have so many things I should be doing instead. Errands and the joyful cleaning :( Yucky! Hope you all are having a wonderful day, God Bless, Connie

Natural chemical free face cleanser and moisturizing treatments to try....

2010-02-22T05:47:00.000-08:00

Natural chemical free face cleanser and moisturizing treatments to try....

I've just got my new "Herb Companion" and was inspired by these natural recipes to try at home. Like most of you I spend a lot of cash on face care products always trying to find that miricle in a bottle but hate the prices :(

BUT what I really hate MOST of all is the idea of myself and my daughters putting all of those chemicals on our skin knowing how we absorb them all. I found these and wanted to post and give them a try. Let me know if you try them and give me feedback. I will be trying them right along with you. Please becareful not to use anything you are alergic to.

Gentle cleanser~

said to be a good alternative to harsh soaps. This cleanser has soothing properties that make it especially good for sensitive or mature skin.

1~Cup whole milk or soymilk

1/2~ cup whole oats

1~tablespoon honey

~Pour all ingredients on high until smooth and creamy.

~Pour into a clean jar with a tight-fitting lid. Store in refrigerator.

~To use: Place a small amount in the palm of your hand, then gently massage into your skin. Rinse well with warm water and pat your skin dry.

Anti-Aging Cream~

Don't forget an important part of the complexion: your neck. This evening neck cream is rich in skin-conditioning oils. For soft, smooth skin, massage a small amount into your face and neck nightly.

2~tablespoons coconut oil

1~tablespoon olive oil

1~tablespoon grated cocoa butter

1~teaspoon vitamin E oil

~Mix all ingredients in a small pan and heat gently on the stovetop until the mixture warms and just begins to melt.

~Remove from heat and stir until completely melted and mixed. Pour into a clean jar with a lid.

~To Use: Massgae a small amount into your neck and face at night before going to bed.

Restoring Mask

As we age, our skin becomes drier. This moisturizing mask plumps up dry skin with egg yolks, which are an excellent sourse of skin-softening lecithin. If you have extremely dry skin, use weekly.

1~egg yolk

1~teaspoon olive oil

1 to 2~tablespoons mashed avocado

~Mix all ingredients and stir until smooth.

~To Use: Spread on damp skin. Let sit 15 to 20 minutes. Rinse with warm water; pat dry.

Thank goodness, I got some sleep last night :) I just finnished up a new sweetie pie Mohair bear. I added the little dress this time. I like them nakie but thought I'd try a little something new.
The kiddos and I are going to my X~grand mothers in law tonight for dinner. WE hardly see her anymore so we will make the long trip.
I'm planning a blog "give a way" but have to figure out how to do it and what to give.....hmmmmm, should I give a mohair OR a prim item? Any feedback would be great!
Hope everyone is well and have a blessed day! ~Connie

2010-02-16T06:02:00.000-08:00

Ever lay in bed for hours not able to fall asleep thinking of everything but nothing of importance? I sure did! last time I looked at the clock it was 4:56 am and I get up at 6:00 ~ 6:30 to get the kids off to school. Although I did finnish this bear last night. Meet Maddie, she is a little larger than my usual mohair's. I'm listing her on e-bay today. I'm not sure yet how to add links for viewers to just click.... anyone wanting to share a "how to" is MORE than welcome :) Hope evryone is haveing a blessed day! Connie Ione

2010-01-15T11:48:00.000-08:00

I had some down time today, and I started another project. I started thumbing thrue my old subscription of "Somerset Life"

If you get the magizine....do you recall "The Magic of Fairies" By Dawn Edmonson? Such a sweet idea. I thought I'd give it a try.It's always fun to try something new, right?

My fairie is very hard to see due to my camera that needs to be thrown at the wall. Ughhh! My plan is to do more, so I'll share more another time. I have to get to the laundry and the farm animals now. Hope everyone out there in Blogland has a wonderful weekend. I think my bf is taking me out tonight :) no kids this weekend! what a miracle.

2010-01-13T20:17:00.000-08:00

I'm putting the gritty Jane tutorials to use now that the Holidays are behind us. :) (wooh hoo) Here's my version of the Gritty Doll. lol Jane is the best, I was having problems with my classroom and she got right to fixing it.

While I worked on this dollie tonight, just jake and I here so the house is quiet, Jake (my son) thought he'd give one of our cats a bath. We all know how much cat's love water... right? Well, he pulled it off! The poor kitty is lick, lick, licking himself. Here's my son and his best friend Alex: a.k.a. Allie Boo

AND last but not least, I thought I throw in a couple of pics of our trip to Chicago just before Christmas. Jimmy and I took Cassidy (My youngest daughter) there as part of her Christmas present to see the Broadway play...."In The Heights" She had never been to Chicago so she was thrilled with the BIG city, buildings, shopping, Rain Forest Cafe, Fancey Italian Resturants, ( she called it) The elavators in our Hotel, The Show it's self and The Sears Tower. Jimmy and I had to laugh at her a little. She was happy and cute. We take for granted everthing we see that her little eyes had never laid on before. Here she is in the new glass box that hangs over the side of the tower. It was a little bit freekie to say the least. :)

2010-01-12T16:58:00.000-08:00

Boy it's amazing how out of practice I have become. I kinda like this piece but I know I can do much much better. Anywho...here's what I did tonight. I'm really going to push myself to at least my old standard of Prim/Folk Art Dollie making. I hope all is good for all of you Bloggers out there!

~Hugs, Connie

Happy as a child in a candy shop~

2010-01-11T15:45:00.000-08:00

~I will NOT let winter get me down.... least I'm trying not too....

I sold a few of my Mohair bears on Etsy and E~bay so I had some money to play with, gotta love that, right?

So a Etsy shopping I went and have started a few new hobbies that I have been wanting to try.

I love opening the mail box to packages and have the mail man come to the door with goodies or should I say "The Goods"

Here are the wonderful 1860's German Frozen Charlottes~ Simply Love them!

and a creation of one turned into this.....

next is the bird assemblage I couldnt wait to put together.... He's a creepy kind-of-cool.

You cannot see a lot of the detail, sorry!

and the newest Mohair, I made him from my own Original pattern, he is a sweet faced chunky, weighted guy with a sort of goofy look. I'm thinking a face only a mother or creator could love....lol

OH, I wanted to add.....When boredom hit the other day I came across a blog that I fell in love with, This ladie has the sweetest house. If you have not been to her Blog you should check it out. I'm sorry I dont know how to add the links yet but hopefully you can figure it out! :)

Here's the blog.... taylors*farmhouse*attic

I just h-a-d to share my little bear, I just finnished him. TALK about work "pain staking labor" and "a labor of love" :) why is it that the smaller something is the harder it is?

Here's my little lovely......

sitting in my great grandmothers old bowl....

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Just complete this morning.

HAPPY FRIDAY everyone :) We've made it thrue another week.

2009-11-19T06:52:00.000-08:00

~I shared these on my selling blog but I meant to put them on this blog, I'll try again :( like I explained in THE OTHER blog, I stayed up way to late working on art so I'm a ding bat today with tiredness.

~This is the Hume mansion (Lumber barron) here in my home town. The families have donated some of the original items back to the house, I think that's wonderful BUT I would never part with my family antiques. I have a trove of them that no one is going to take cept my children one day, I would surely cry! NUF' about me, right? lol
~I love the old furniture and quilts. Thought you prim lovers would enjoy these.

2009-11-18T07:17:00.000-08:00

Good Morning, look who played Peek~A~Boo with me this morning. They are so darn cute!

The only problem is when I go outside to visit Coda and Toffee my dogs and kitties get so jelouse. They ALWAYS know where I have been. lol

he looks sweet and innocent but he was barking (yelling) at me when I came in and my cat would hardly look at me. SPOILED come to mind perhaps?

Anyways...I came up with an idea last night. Remeber the cute silicone bulbs? well why not make them into night lights? I did and I will be working on more to sell in the next week. There real cute.

AND last, I met up with one of my friends yesturday and went to basket making class, what a treat! Here's my newest and a basket my girlfriend made me last July but I hadn't see her for so long, but I got it now. Thanks Brenda, LOVE IT!

NOW, I need to get to laundry. Ughhh!

Happy Monday, and new painting...

2009-11-16T08:20:00.000-08:00

WE had a great weekend, Jimmy and I took my daughter Darcy to see Bruce Springsteen in Detroit Michigan last Friday. Darcy had a choice of what she wanted for her sweet sixteen and this concert was what she chose. It cracks me up that she loves BRUCE of all singers not to mention he was big when I was a little girl. For a guy that is older than my own father he sure puts on a great show!
Just finnished is this mixed media painting. I will be adding her to Etsy this week sometime. She has a ton of detail but is hard to see by the photo. I have to work on my photo skills. :( Anyways, hope everyone had a great weekend too!

2009-11-11T20:14:00.000-08:00

THANK YOU to all of our Vets, and to my Grandpa Lyle Hall who served in the U.S. AIR FORCE. He just passed away last August and he is missed. I use to love listening to him talk about the days he served. I only wish I had recorded him now to play to my children. I looked the internet over for a great american flag image to post and then thought why not share photos of my own Vet hero. I love you grandpa! and I will never forget you!

And a side note, I just figured out how to tell if I haver comments from people, by fluke of course. I feel bad that I have not replied to any of you. I'm still learning to ropes. "THANK YOU" for the sweet comments!

2009-11-09T14:15:00.000-08:00

This is what I came up with to cover the purple lids, it works :)

2009-10-14T06:50:00.000-07:00

Last night I decided to get started on making christmas gifts for friends and family.

I will share my Pumkin & Apple butter recipes. I bought these plastic "Ball" canning or freezer containers that I have mixed feelings about. They were marked down to cheap cheap and they could be re-used so why not, the problem is there not that cute :( they have purple lids. I like purple but not realy the look I was going for! I guess I could cover the tops with fabric and tie rafia around, that should work right? Any Ideas?

PUMPKIN BUTTER

1 (29 ounce) can pumpkin puree

3/4 cup apple juice

2 teaspoons ground ginger

1/2 teaspoon ground cloves

1 1/2 cups white sugar

2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

1 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1.Combine pumpkin, apple juice, spices, and sugar in a large saucepan; stir well. Bring mixture to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer for 30 minutes or until thickened. Stir frequently.

2.Transfer to sterile containers and chill in the refrigerator until serving.

APPLE BUTTER

5 1/2 pounds apples - peeled, cored and finely chopped

4 cups sugar

1/4 teaspoon salt

Add to Recipe Box

My folders:

Customize Recipe

Add a Personal Note

..DIRECTIONS

1.Place apples in a slow cooker. Combine sugar, cinnamon, cloves and salt; pour over apples and mix well. Cover and cook on high for 1 hour. Reduce heat to low; cover and cook for 9-11 hours or until thickened and dark brown, stirring occasionally (stir more frequently as it thickens to prevent sticking). Uncover and cook on low 1 hour longer. If desired, stir with a wire whisk until smooth. Spoon into freezer containers, leaving 1/2-in. headspace. Cover and refrigerate or freeze.

It was a beautiful weekend to drive, thank goodness! Jimmy and I drove from Mid-Michigan to Sister Bay, Wisconsin. He had a boat to drive to Michigan but the waters were rough, he made it acrossed but way up North of home, so I drove to meet him there insteed of going home. 12-hours later, after me turning up the car radio loud and singing to myself, stopping to get lots-o-coffee amd peeing along the way I got to him way after he was settled in Fankfort. What a sweet town in upper Michigan, very small but realy pretty in the fall. We got a condo for the night and took our time driving 2-hours back home the next day :) I have always loved road trips but it could not have worked out any better it was awesome to do it during the peek of the leaf color turn! JUST when I think I'm sick of Michigan autumn comes back to remind me of Michigans wonders.

My baby heading out... :( I'll meet you back in Michigan!

view from our deck...

made it safe to our resting place...

waters still wild the next day....

all I can say is BURRRrrrrrrrr.........

we woke up to the coast gaurd working...uh oh.....

me with "past due souls"

and we ended with good food, shopping and pics with the largest pumpkin grown in Michigan. In all a nice weekend!

2009-10-03T10:37:00.000-07:00

I'm a very bad girl, insteed of doing my homework (which is just about killing me) I made this little girl today, well I started her last night then finnished her today. Here she is and I'm off to homework and laundry :( I sure miss the old days of creating and bliss!

2009-09-23T08:55:00.000-07:00

While in New York a couple weeks ago, Jimmy and I decided to go for a walk. His parents house in Long Island is about 3~miles from the Amityville house. I'm sure you know the storie and have seen one of many of the movies and documentaries.Its weird to see the house in person, I kinda felt weird about taking pics of someones home but I'm SURE they get it a LOT! Of course they changed the address and some of the old windows have been replaced. We didnt cause a scene just took advantage of the photo opp. and kept moving. What a beautiful house. Tts just to bad so many terrible things happend within the walls to that Originals family. AND.... NO, I dont believe the stories of hauntings and possesion. thats just plain STUPID/CRAZY!

All nestled into a community of nice houses and perfect lawns.

2009-06-02T09:20:00.001-07:00

The Moon looked so cool last night I had to take a picture of it :)

2009-06-02T05:08:00.000-07:00

Jimmy is home now so all is well with the world now (as I see it) Bear went home with him this morning. :(

2009-05-31T20:40:00.001-07:00

Moose and I miss Jimmy!!! He is only hours away now.

"Leave New York and come snuggle us Daddy/Jimmy"

2009-05-31T10:06:00.000-07:00

Jimmy and I rode bikes to this Rosy Mound Natural Area, how beautiful! You can hike the trails and paths, and they take you down to Lake Michigan. We figured we went about 10 miles that day :O) I need more days like this.

2009-05-31T09:42:00.000-07:00

Cassidy had her Field Trip to the Capital building and Impressions 5 in Lansing and of course I being so lucky got to go along. (my third time on this trip due to my other two children doing the same) lol We had a good day but were VERY tired!

2009-05-31T09:37:00.000-07:00

The month of May has been very busey! My youngest had a Birthday. Cassidy is a old 10~years of age. boo hoo hoo

Here she is with her new bike.

Happy Birthday Cassarole!!!

I love you!

2009-04-30T10:44:00.000-07:00

Pretty coool thing happend! A couple of years ago, my dad had went to an Estate sale with my great Aunt and Uncle. He found this big buffet type piece of furniture and thought maybe I would like it. He pulled into my driveway saying "I picked something up for you but you may not like it" As soon as I had seen It I knew I loved it! We brought the huge massive thing into the house and I have kept it in several rooms in my house sence. ( I have a problem with changing things around all of the time)

About a year after I got the thing, I opend a drawer to start re-painting it and an old news paper was down under the drawer, It was dated exactly 100 years prior. NOW, just a couple of months ago.... shoved up under some strange place I found an envolope addressed to a relative of mine that my father knows of but I have never met. Very Odd!

All this let to me finding out that this piece of furniture was onec owned by my great grandmothers parents. And was also in the Farm house my grandmother grew up in.HOW COOL is THAT? It found it's way back to someone in our family and best of all ME.

Some things are just meant to be I guess!

I LOVE IT even more now! :O)

(please dont mind the missing trim under the buffet, I havent put it back up sence the tile was laid)

Also I wanted to throw out there, Does anyone make these old Yo Yo quilts anymore? I'm working on one little by little and would like to see others.

2009-04-24T05:47:00.000-07:00

The start.....

Ahhhh, I love the site of new things growing. Here is the start of something good. I can't wait to get these in the ground.

I hope everyone has a great weekend and enjoy the weather. If it's nice in Michigan it HAS to be nice every where eles. :O)

I've been a stray from Blog land for so long I dont recall how to do everything. Not that I knew to begin with.

Jimmy and I went to Baltimore last week for his work and I got to go along. This is the boat that he had to work with. The people that purchased the boat are from Arguntina and were VERY nice. Although everyone spoke Spanish cept I...... so I just smiled a lot. (dork)

The marina was beautiful in the morning. Even more so after stopping off to Star Bucks!

OH and the Drama.....

Jimmy sent me for a manicure and I forgot my ring that his mom sent me from New York, I almost started crying! I cant believe I did that. Thank GOD they saved it for me. I love honest people!!!

We also went to the aquarium and watched the Dolphin show. Every single time one of those cute Dolphins would jump into the air my eyes would start to tear up, lol They were sooooo CUTE!

I even finnished a book, "Prayers for Sale"

Now back home and need to get to work on the yard. My plan this year is to garden like a crazy women. :)

2009-01-20T09:53:00.000-08:00

Got another painting done today. I started out with an Oil painting then added acrylic and much more. (it's a secret) :)

I get sooo frustrated with how these pictures turn out. They never do the paintings justice. "oh well"

Hope everyone is keeping warn and snuggly...

2009-01-15T16:47:00.000-08:00

Newest addition just added to Ebay. I love her too! I've been on a role again. I'm thinking about Spring way to much and it shows in my work doesn't it. tee hee

2009-01-15T07:53:00.000-08:00

For those of you who don't know this about me... I have W-A-Y too many animals. My house is very small and I have three children to raise on my own. Added to this is a cat (who only has one eye) we called her "Ginger", a black and white kitty named "Alex", a mixed Lab puppie "Bella" and now a Chihahua named "Chance". The only animals I meant to get was Alex and Bella but they just keep showing up one way or another. Sometimes I feel like I live on a small farm. lol I just need a goat and a sheep, then my collection is complete (in my eyes) :O) I'll try now not to ramble about my kids and pets but this morning was so funny to me. I was up and at em' but all children and animals were dragging around sleepy. Onec everyone was fed they pepped up but gess my point in all of this is "I wish I could stay in bed till my breakfast was served". They are soooo lucky!

2009-01-13T10:48:00.001-08:00

First of all I want to say "Thank you" for my new friends on Blogger. I loved getting your comments! :O)

My computer is working today, (must be my lucky day) yippeee! I was on Etsy listing these cute bears and thought I'd share the photo's here too! If your anything like me then you enjoy looking at other peoples creations. It Helps to get those creative juices flowing.

2008-12-21T18:50:00.000-08:00

Insane amounts of snow here in Michigan! I never get stuck but I think I manage to do it tonight. I started to shovel out my car and thought??? WHY... I heve everything I need at home, I just have cabin fever like my bf said.
I hope everyone is doing great for this Holiday season. I have had better but my dad keeps reminding me of the year hat my grandpa and grandma had 7 children and only had $1.00 to spend on each. he says that out of all of his christmas's he rememebers that one the most. My granmother has past (15 years ago) must have felt horrible! I know how how sweet and loving she was and it must have killed her to feel like she could not provide like she wanted! if grandma can do it then I guess I can pull up "my big girl pants and do the same" There will be more christmas's days and seasons to do what I really want for my children, parents, friends, and parents...right!

My internet keeps goin in and out but will share photos later! "Happy SNOW Days everyone" and while your sweet children are home from school for Christmas break keep in mind...( those those kids get on your nerves ) how much you miss them when you drop them off to school! he he

I'm so happy that I got the "Dollie" done!!! she has taken so long.... and I just could not wait to see her final look. she is not the norm for me. Most of her body was hand sculpted with clay and the drying time just took forever on her. She started out as an angel and now is just a very sweet simple girl Dollie. Hmmm...I must think of a name for her next. (check out her tiny little toes) :O)

Just wanted to add the latest updated pic. of the dollie and all the other projects I've been working on this week. I have a show coming up and want to get as much finnished as possible.

I have been working on ornies, cinnabun candles, wool hand hooked hearts and of course everyday the dollie as well as started the head for another doll. CRAZY!
