A Little of this and a Little of that..........

Hello - I wanted to share a little bit about myself. I am a craft lover with a wonderful husband (Kevin) of 35 years. It is our love of hand made items that have driven us to have a shoppe in lil ole Waynesburg. With the ecomomy being what it is we found it hard to heat our old Apple House....so we have taken our store online to reach the whole world of crafters.

My hubby builds a variety of hard wood furniture. Some pieces are one of a kinds.... then he finishes them to look old and some pieces he prims in his own way.

I love sewing and my new fascination is with felt. I am also actively re-purposing old wool clothing to make new items and absolutely love watching them change life. It is so rewarding!

I will update as is necessary and let you know exciting news about my amazing children and grandchildren. I have 4 children and 10 grandchildren...yes, I am blessed and I know it!

Snow SNow SNOw and more SNOW..............wow we've got some serious snow. Kevin has been shoveling since early this morning and its almost noon....couple coffee breaks and that was it. He came in just in time to watch my knee go out in the kitchen and me buckle and cry because of the pain - I am hoping this can be resolved soon............

I am searching the internet for a craft to dive into - I have a million in the basement but am afraid to climb the steps too many times........

Zack had a very nice friend spend the night last night and he was disappointed that they did not have more time to play in the snow....

Kristen will attempt to go to Aaron and Cherie's this afternoon to go running with Cherie?

I would love to be going 100 MPH inside the house today but my knee will not cooperate so here I sit writing to you (most likely myself).....

Any ideas for a simple keep your hands busy craft? Let me know...thanks...Renee

hello friends! we are winding down the days at the shoppe - soon to be empty and lonely again. It is a lovely little apple house with a lot of character....maybe someone else will fall in love with it and be able to open it back up.

Kevin is waiting until we go to Amish country and get some wood to begin building again. He has completely depleted his stock. I have taken a break from crafting - but I have found some wonderful old sweaters for wool...woohoo........the thrift stores rock!!!! As soon as I finish at the shoppe I will be in full craft mode!!!!

The web-site is under construction.........it's just taking a long time........

Thinking about the consignment shoppe in Louisville again........well????????

Also thinking about doing craft shows?????????

Any suggestions or ideas????????

See ya soon!!!!!!
