Six Long Months and Yellow Roses
Six months ago today, I lost my precious John. Even tho, I know he is healthy, well and with those he loves and his dear Savior, I cannot help but grieve.
If you remember, on birthdays and anniversaries, he always gave me yellow roses.
We had yellow roses in our wedding. So, they are so very special to me.
Some of you suggested and I took it to heart, to plant a yellow rose bush so I would always have yellow roses to remind me of John.
So, I got the rose bush and awaiting to put it in the ground.
I wanted to share this photo with you. I was cleaning out my closet and sorting a bunch of clothes the other day when Laynee was here.
All of a sudden, I looked over and she had the book with the folder from John's funeral in her hand and was telling him all about what was going on "down here" as she said. Since then, anytime something happens - sometimes exciting, sometimes not so exciting - she runs and gets that book and just talks to him like he was sitting here beside her.
I have so many memories past and present to be thankful for and I truly am. I just miss him terrible.

Soapy Adventures
Hi all..
The cold process soapy adventures continue...
Torsten is madly making soap moulds as we speak!! He's such a good boy... love him to bits!!!!!
This morning I unveiled my 1st 100% pure castile soap... its uncoloured, unscented and 100% olive oil... the only ingredient. My son has grown up with severe exma so I have spent a life time looking for completely natural soaps etc... so, Ive decided to make my own. I know heaps of people who are on the same quest for the all natural alternative... stay tuned as all my soaps will be for sale once cured...
As for the coloured alternative... these are all my latest.... once again, all natural ingredients and skin safe fragrances and colours... the hard bit is 'no peaking' for at least 24 hours after the soaps are poured.... and waiting 4 - 6 weeks for the soap to cure...
The 1st one is CK1 'Type'... one for the boys with tiny clay beads for a bit of exfoliating...
The next one is Kumquat fragrance... this one smells great...
The next one is Lime Cooler... with some blue clay beads added in the top layer..
Last but not least is Monkey Farts... love, love, love this fragrance...
I'm working on cupcake soaps as well... bit of a hideous colour... need to buy some bright colours as I only have oxide powders at the moment... still learning. I want these cupcakes to be bright & fun... & glittery... I haven't had any practise in piping so need to work on that... still... not too bad for my 1st effort!!!
I am eventually hoping to have some cool gift packs using soap & candles in the same fragrances in time for Xmas... or have them to purchase separate if needed for stocking fillers... stay tuned...
Well, time to check on the 'mould maker'... see if he needs a cuppa...
Chat soon...

Lots of fun elements in this set... this is definitely another stay tuned for more edition...
Anyway, enjoy your day,
Keep Craftin',

Wee Shed
I saw this little shed on a recent farm garden tour. The paddles decorating the barn-style door make sense if you know that the shed is beside a very large pond with a rowboat.
See the entire garden in an upcoming post at Empress of Dirt [link].
Congratulations
Another nice lazy day... lovin' my holidays!!!!! There is so much to do around the house, but all housework has taken a back seat... for a while.. maybe tomorrow...
Today I decided to do another Wedding Card... as you can see, I haven't put away my 'little flower' punches just yet. I'm on a bit of a mission as friends are getting married at the end of October, so I am hunting for the perfect card...
The pearl paper was a bit of a bugga to photograph.. but you get the idea..
Well, time to round up some tea...
Till next time...

The Xmas Rush
Hi all...
This past week or two has been a bit crazy... back to work... so not a lot of crafting has been done... but one thing I have been doing is designing some quick and easy cards Mum can make in bulk to send to friends and rellies...
Here are 3 of the designs using Stampin' Up! Lovely as a Tree, Joyous Celebration & Jolly Bingo Bits Stamp Sets... the stripy paper was from our new papers at work...
So... this is what I will be doing tomorrow... we have 30ish cards to make. Mum wanted simple... so simple it is... but still effective... Ive cut, stamped and prepped all the cards, so its just a production line to assemble them all... easy... maybe....
I will try and take some photos of the finished stash...
Till next time...
Ho Ho Ho... start that Xmas shopping... time is ticking....

The Excitement of the New year has kicked in with a New Product Line !!
We are super excited to launch the all new 50 Year Stained LP Smart Side.
We have heard you loud and clear and we have responded.
Now offering a siding option that looks like cedar siding but with all the benefits of the 50 Year LP Smart Side. So now you have a fantastic cedar look but no need to worry about re-staining every year and all the maintenance involved with cedar or treated wood siding. This is a actual coating like paint that seals your siding with a stain tint, and that is how we get the best of both worlds.
Here is a sample of how great it looks and there will be more coming. Stay tuned.
Also feel free to place your order and get your own nice cedar looking building.

A Fall Wallhanging
Let's make a cute and simple Fall doorhanging. To make this you will need:
30" of upholstery webbing
three small fallish prints
ribbon for a bow
one berry spray
Wonder Under
burlap scraps
small jute rope
scissors
white glue
hot glue and gun
white plastic ring for hanger
OK, let's get started!
I traced around some small fall leaves I had from last year. You can go out and pick up a leaf or two out of your yard to use as a pattern.
You are going to trace three of these onto the paper side of Wonder Under.
Also, trace and iron on one of the prints, your FALL letters. (Remember, to trace them backwards).
Just cut them out and iron them onto a piece of burlap.
Trim around the leaves leaving a small margin of burlap.
Glue Jute Rope to the leaves where the veins would be, and leave a tail of the rope.
Adhere your letters to the upholstery webbing. Cut a notch at the bottom.
Make a bow out of any fallish ribbon you have on hand.
Now, start assembling your wallhanging.
Lay the webbing strip down with your letters already adhered to the strip. Go up above the letters and first, hot glue down the spray of berries. Then add the three leaves in various lengths. Lastly, hot glue your bow to cover up the ends of the leaves' jute rope and the end of the berry spray.
Turn under whatever edge you have left and hot glue it down. Sew and/or hot glue a round plastic ring to the top back to hang your piece by.
You're done!!
Have been working on a couple of garlands. This one is burlap with shiny, sparkly orange polka dots. It is made on jute rope.
This one is made of an orange cotton fabric reinforced with interfacing and stenciled with the letters. A black spider is on the upper left hand corner!
And, this is Herbie the Hoot Owl. He is made out of a heavy upholstery fabric and is trimmed with burlap and scrim wings and yoyo, burlap and button eyes.
These will be listed on my Etsy.

Enjoy this beautiful Fall day!
