Have you ever shopped on ArtFire?

Shopping on ArtFire is so easy.  No signing up for an account to buy, each studio has many options for how to charge, I have PayPal and Amazon Payments, Other options (that I don't offer at this time) available are google & personal (such as checks, money orders, credit cards), and the variety of items and prices of items is ever growing.  Anyone can find something to there liking or to there budget.  If you havn't been there you should go take a look, and while I'm talking about going to ArtFire what a better way than with a game and the possibility of winning a shopping spree on ArtFire. To be a part of the find Santa on ArtFire contest  go to We've lost Santa !!! . If you choose to go have a little fun stop by kathisewnsew's Handmade Boutique and say Hi.  I put together my first gift ideas & guides on ArtFire.
I finished a new wallet today and should have another one done later today.
This Is a bight and colorful striped with embroidered flowers wallet.

Time to get my housework done and then back to sewing and finishing another wallet.

Its almost halloween, are you ready?

Wow time is flying by, were heading into the end of Oct.  I have so much to do, I need to start a list so that I stay on top of things.
1. Halloween ( I need to get the front of the house spookified and get trick or treat candy, AND NOT EAT IT, LOL).  My Artfire studio has been spookified, check it out.  I did the banner and avatar myself.
2. moms b-day gift (have an idea what I am making but can't share it here yet. I will post about it after her b-day).
3. Hubby's b-day (no idea yet, I need to get the idea so I can buy what I may need ).
4. Thanksgiving (it will be different this year, my daughter will be with her boyfriends family, not sure about oldest sons plans, our youngest son will for sure be there).
5. Swedish sausage day.  This is the day my sister her family, my family all of the kids and spouses, kids kids, and Mom all get together the beginning of December to make & stuff swedish sausage (a family tradition) we also have an ornament gift exchange that is quite fun. (I will write a whole post or two about this family tradition sometime in the next month).  More about that later.

10. Christmas

Well, I think thats enough listing of things to do, makes me tired looking at it.  I will update this list in future weeks leading to the New Year.

busy busy busy

I have been very busy since I found an abandoned kitten last week.  Its like having a baby, all the care and attention it takes.  So far so good, I think she is about 5 weeks old now.  Not much time today, but if you want to read a little bit about her check it out here on my ArtFire blog.

I'll try and make a little time tomorrow and write something, oh I don't know, interesting.

Popping in to say Hi
