FInally! Here is some random stuff...From me!

Here is one of the aprons that is in my shop right now. The one I am actually wearing I made for a friend of ours, but I purchased enough fabric to make one on any size for anyone else interested. To see more, you just have to go to my shop on Etsy.com. And yes, that is the rabbit--and it isn't even just a yard ornament any more! Whoo-hoo!
This is me modeling my outdoors skirt and proving that you can ride horses in these crazy things! This particular skirt is made out of extra heavy material that is kind of like canvas and also some heavy floral stuff that I picked up from the thrift store. My sweater (100% wool and hand-knit in Italy) I also picked up at the thrift store...for a dollar. Oh, the hat? Yes, that too; 100% wool felt from the thrift store....
Grendle of course, was a real good sport about all of this picture stuff. She is an awfully beautiful horse, and I am as proud as can be to be pictured with her. If Grendle can't sell my skirts, I don't know WHO can!
Isn't that floral just beautiful? I have just enough to make one other lucky gal an outdoors skirt that is just like mine! We could be twinkies!


Here, of course is Ursa/Ursula. This is when the river was completely frozen over and she and Barrett had to motor across it. You can't see it too well, but the entire surface is ice, it's snowing, and really cold. Ursa is getting used to all of the boat stuff, and has been a really good dog for us. She isn't terribly large, but she is very stocky and I think she could do some damage if someone had some bad intentions. You should see what she does to rope and squeaky toys...they ain't gonna squeak ever again...that's for sure.



Here is Barrett displaying Breeze in her new calling in life: driving. We finally got out and worked with her, and she seems pretty promising. ...is she licking his arm? What a goofy horse! Anyway, we are excited about that and she seems to enjoy it. Barrett, of course, is still the coolest. (nice pants, who patched 'em?)

Anyway, we are doing superb out here. I hope to make some sales soon. I am slowly but surely making different things to stock my store, but if any of you family of mine wants something, feel free to ask! I've got all kinds of things up my sleeves! More aprons, more skirts, some draw-string bags, and who knows what else is on the way!

Go see the Lemon Line

OKAY! Finally I have my etsy shop up! I was going to post it to the family blog, but alas, I can NEVER get on! Of course, I can never get on my own either, I have to set a new password everytime...I guess that makes my blog extra secure, but it is a pain in the butt!

Please don't make TOO much fun of me; almost all of my pictures are sideways. The thing is, I can't figure out how to put the pictures onto my little lappy, so I have to put them on my father-in-law's computer and I don't know how to run it, I don't want to save anything on there and clutter it up, and it is smarter than I am (mostly because it is a mac and not a pc). So, give me time and I will surely get it all figured out! I am having a difficult time doing the banner, using my brain, and making anything make sense! BTW, the banner is currently a picture of me pulling one of the NUMEROUS boats onto shore--it won't be that forever, I'll change it somehow to something. Also, I don't have mouse paint on my computer....at ALL and I CANNOT survive without it!!! I tried to find a differnent program--they were all crummy. I tried to download the "new mouse paint" from microsoft and it is the worst one of ALL! So! If anyone has a good suggestion and to save my cartoonery and what-not, please give it to me, I am going crazy.

Anyway, I have to go make some cookies--chat with you all later!
