added some new items to My Crowded Little Nest

its so cloudy and cold here! i know i know i shouldnt complain living here in FL but dang for me its too much, my blood is as thin as water.  anyway this weather is not good for drying paper mache so ugh i'm behind in my work again, sooooooo had some pics of goodies to go and listed them on My Crowded Little Nest etsy shop and here are some items (i'm adding more later on this afternoon)(maybe)



these wrought iron salesman samples are so cool and heavy

 5 unused boxes of gelatin

 does anyone still smoke? anyway, this great case but maybe good for business cards

 Raggedy Ann goodies

 love this primitive lunch/picnic/sewing basket

 rose chintz Johnston Brothers

 vintage cookie tin full of vintage sewing goodies

 some old stencils

New Work (finally) for Jan 2015

finally finished something! Kipp is getting squared away in Ecuador so i can get my mind on my work completely.  

anyway here is the first piece i've completed with an elly and a bear coming in a day or two.

will be heading to my etsy page to add her this afternoon.

my heart is breaking again

as tomorrow Kipp is leaving for South America and i wont see him in person for 9 months. i find myself so sad and just crying here and there. ridiculous i know, but the 3 of us are just so tight.  Kipp is a young man and lives his life to the fullest and we are so proud of him. Its hard for me to see him as a man and making his life elsewhere.

thought i'd share some recent pics

Kipp and Colby on our way to Pa for Christmas, they make each other laugh, I'm happy he has found such a perfect for him gal. 

 Henry a great traveler!

 Archie needs doggie xanax and lots of it!

What kind of tag line could go on these two pictures?!

His reason to return !

cute even when car sick on the way home!car sick or the out come of holiday revelry?

well Henry and Archie are back to normal but Henry knows his favorite Roll is on his way again.
