So Honored!!! On the Cover of PRIMS

I know it's been awhile, again.  It's been a crazy busy fall.  I wanted to share, you can find me on my business page on FB... I don't believe you have to be on FB to see the business pages.
Here is the cover of the final issue of PRIMS.  Sadly the magazine is being retired!  I was taken by surprise to see my Half Baked Jack's were selected for the cover!  OLM

WOW... 2 years with no posts.....OLM BAD

Hello, remember me?  I will just pop in quickly to say HI and I am alive!

It's been a very busy two years.  I went back to work and really took a break from creating. I left my job in March.  I will probably go back to work again at some point.  

It took me awhile to my MOJO for creating.  But late this summer I did start designing again, and I admit it feels great.  Sadly just ca't support myself doing it...

Both my boys have gotten married, so we are empty nester's.

Knuckle's is hanging in there.  Showing his age at times.  We believe him to be between 11 and 12 now.

I still help/take care of my dad as well.  So my days were always full and busy.  Creating went on a back burner, sadly.

So, I been trying to figure out what outlet might work good for me to try and sell a few on my creations.

YES, I am on FB... I also have a business page under primitives by olde lady morgan, as well.

I do still have the shop as well.  I am considering opening a ETSY shop.  I will keep you posted.

I thought I would show you a few of my latest creations.  If you see something you might want to consider adopting, feel free to email me @folkart94@msn.com

First is adorable Mavis, yes she is a OLM OOAK design.

I must admit I wasn't sure about her when I first started creating her, but I did so fall in love with her.

Kindly asking $48.95 and travel fare.

 I have been trying to come up with a few new twists on my Goofy Jacks..

First is my "half baked" jack... Picked off the vine just a wee bit to early... Little green yet...

 Each is $29.50 and travel if you are interested...

THEN...

There is my "sunken" pumpkins... Jacks that have been around a wee bit to long... 

They are starting to "rot" /cave in on themselves so to speak.  

I have done several of these and have gotten some great feedback on them, as well as the Half Baked boys.

 Kindly asking $28.50 and travel.  Yes, each is a OOAK and finished off with dried stems.

What do you think?  

Email me, tell me what you think, folkart94@msn.com

Hope all is well.

Time seems to just go by faster and faster doesn't it?

Happy Labor day Weekend!

Few Girls for Sale... and Not Too Much New?

So what happens when you just feel like there is nothing new and exciting to say?

Who want to hear the same old stuff???

Sometimes I feel like I am caught in a trap.Can't walk out..

Know the song?  But a different meaning for me..

I am busy, maybe too busy?  But, not always fun busy...But busy is good.  Can't dwell on the things...

I would love a little peace and quiet... and the ability to turn off my mind... Just when things seem to calm down... another curve ball.

So, there is nothing fun or exciting to tell... just crud...

so it's better to say nothing at all... 

I think back to how I loved blogging.. sharing.. and wonder how does it get to this?  I miss it so.Maybe I NEED to spend more time here in a happy place?  

I will work on that...  Yikes, this went depressing fast didn't it?  

OOPS... so sorry about that...

onto happy things... I am trying to get back to some creating.

I am doing The Holly Hills Primitive Show in Sept.  I better get cracking very soon!

I actually finished up these gals almost two weeks ago...

That is how long it's taking me to sit down and FINALLY post!

So Here are a couple of OLM OOAK Creations looking for their new homes..

First up is Jessie B!!

 Sweet and simple. 

She loves it here, but would love a forever home even more...

You can email me for more details at folkart94@msn.com

Kindly asking $48.95 and travel fare for Jessie B!

Hard to believe but there have been a few request for pumpkins.

I haven't made any yet...But they are dancing in my head...

This is one of my faves, leftover from last year.  

I am surprised he didn't find a home last year..

He is one of my bigger pumpkin Jacks I make...

Kindly asking $ 46.50 and travel fare for Black Jack.

 He is a OLM OOAK

 Sweet Sammie gal is a OLM OOAK as well.. 

Hand stitched face and her skirt is from a old grungy dollies 

 Kindly asking $40.50 and travel fare for Sammie!

Sweet little pillow tuck, oh so prim and my story and sticking to it, Dust is a primitive accent!

Kindly asking $11.95 and travel fare...

 If you are missing any past issues of A Simple Life, or haven't had the pleasure yet...

I have several of each copy leftover from the shop.  

Originally $8.95... now $5.25 and travel fare.  I can fit 3 into a flat rate envelope..  again, email if you are interested in any of them..

folkart94@msn.om

 Lastly Chester the barn cat.. He is a OLM OOAK... 

I have made several versions of him over the years...but no two ever quiet alike.

he has been in a bit of a fight trying to hold his place in the barn... Missing part of his tail and a ear, sadly...

Kindly asking $22.50 and travel fare for Chester...

 Now... maybe part of my mood has been the lack of summer here in IL... It's been overcast most days... raining almost every day... Mosquitoes the size of birds..(not really) but out all day long.. and rather chilly... 

Now I love a summer that isn't too hot or humid...but this as been AWFUL!!!!!

I don't even attempt to pull weeds, the mosquitoes will win... BUT the flowers are as tall as the weeds now... so you see them better! 

LOL

 So I snapped a few pictures today... enjoy!

Lastly there are a couple of FUN secrets I am keeping... One I will be back I promise real soon to tell.. and the other in about a month...hehe...

HELLO........

Hello, I am alive... I am still here.... 

It's bad when hubby tells you that you have only made 3 blog posts all year...

Life, it's a crazy ride isn't it?

Embrace it, after all we only get one.

I have to admit, we have had some bumps again...

I won't go into most... 

But, where to catch you up...

When I last posted I was so excited we were going to Florida for some much deserved and earned R & R on the beach!

I was soo looking forward to it... 

I am not crazy about flying... 

My issues of not flying did not stop the need for a beach vacation.

So we managed to pick the days Florida has it's coldest weather of the season.. fog... drizzle...

BUT... we left below zero weather... so the 60's felt really good... 

Well... at least for a day that is....

Here I am bravely walking in the gulf...  

Walking on the beach after the fog lifted... We had a great day.

Then, oh so sadly the morning of our second day.... 

a call....

Hubby's best friend of almost 50 years passed away of a heart attack the night we left... They had been looking for us for a day and half, till they found my cell number... 

Life lesson on travel insurance.. and a trip cut short...

Chuck was best man at our wedding, uncle to our boys... if anything should of happened to hubby and I, he was to be guardian to our boys when they were small... 

They played softball together all their adult lives..

He was only 59.....

Here is hubby and chuck goofing off at our wedding just over 28 years ago... 

He is missed... softball is not the same for hubby... 

Live goes on...

Steven moved out... 

He felt finally his house was rehabbed enough that he could move in..

he and his fiancee have started looking at churches.. They are thinking of a fall 2016 wedding...

Yes, life rolls on... so one must jump back on.... 

I went back to work... 

I still have my shop, but I am also working what I thought would be very part time... It's been a wee bit more... but the money is helpful and nice.

BUT, time... YIKES... what is that now?? I am working on managing that better.

Dad is dad... doing well enough.....

THEN... I need something fun.. for me and well, mostly for the back and foot...

Oh how I have wanted a hot tub....

It's took some work and figuring... 

BUT... I am a lucky gal and got this gem at the end of April!

After all day on my feet this has been a life saver!

Then, I thought... maybe, since this has been the year of change for ME... Trying to do a few things for me.. Not being selfish.. Just after so much "stuff" the last couple of years... Remembering me...

So I have NEVER had short hair... 

But, it's only hair... Mine grows like a weed anyway...

It's is so much easier to take care of... 

Everyone seems to really like it.

For me, it's been a bit more of a adjustment...

I do like it though...

Here was before... Cocktails on the beach in Florida... These HUGE chairs were such a hoot!

Oh, I want to go back....

little afraid for another vacation, after this one... 

might be awhile...
I have also left Early Work Mercantile.  Not that I didn't love it... Just that my creating time has been so cut short, that I am getting nothing done.
I need to get back to this and will... But It will be updates either on my selling blog/facebook and my shop...

Knuckles is good!  Staring to show is age a wee bit... sadly... but still cracks us up daily with the goofy things he does do!

So there you have it?  It's been almost 4 months since my last post... This was a quick update..

I will do my best not to stay away that long again... 

And do some visiting of your blogs too!

HUGS!

OLM
