Someone please comment!

I can't believe I have over 400 pageviews and can't see that anyone has made any comments.  I wonder if they are just courious and then don't find anything interesting?  I would really like to know.  Maybe when I start posting more of my crafts someone might comment.  Am I just missing the comments.  Hope they are going to my e-mail so that I can see them.

Let me know if you find this blog interesting.

Drop Off Day

Finally completed all my entries for the Adult Division at our local County Livestock and Homemakers Show.  I entered 3 wreath, 3 Misc (paint projects) and 1 Food (cornbread).  You wonder why I entered 3 of the same thing...well...I wasn't interested in the other catagories, money goes to a good cause and I just love creating!  My previous posting had some pictures of my crafts.  I will for sure post pictures when the all get home later in the week.
Hoping for a Rosette!!!

My Day

Did my Facebooking....gues we all have to change over the the timeline thingy.  Haven't done that yet.

Did my Pinning on Pinterest.  I am so addicted to that.  I spend way more time on there than Facebook now.  So many cool ideas for crafts and gardens!!!

Now going outside to do my Hawsville chores.

Need a quick run to Hobby Lobby (which is an hour away) to get supplies for a wreath I'm gonna make for the County Show Adult Division.  Almost finished with my painting.  Posting that soon.

This afternoon...going to the next county for their county show to watch several families show lambs that they purchased from us. (Haws Club Lambs)  My son and girlfriend will pick me up.  Meeting up with the hubby.  Hopefully can go out to eat after it's all over.

Whew...Bet my head will hit my pillow around 12 tonight.  Long day ahead!

Adult Division Entry

I have decided to enter the local Bee County Jr. Livestock & Homemakers Show Adult Division.  Yes, some crafts.  Possibly 3 paintings and 3 wreaths.  What was I thinking?  Entry money goes to Premium Fund for the kids.  Winners get rosettes.  Mostly bragging rights.  Will see.  Wish me luck!!

1. Wreath..Antlers and Pinecones.  This took several hours to make.  Hot glue gun got a workout.

2. Wreath...Living Wreath (Succulents)
This was an extra long process.  Used Spanish Moss wrapped around wire wreath.Then took cuttings from succulents and dug holes in moss to put each plant.

3. Wreath...Easter (wooden picture frame, rabbit napkin rings and bow.
Took out glass and backing from wooden frame.  Spray painted.  Made bow and attatched rabbit napkin rings.  Glued Easter Greetings metal envelope on bow.

Started on a canvas painting yesterday.  don't know if I like it.  Will post the finished product soon.  However, need to do some other things first.  gotta go to an adjacent county and shear one of their show lambs for the show tomorrow.  Then a busy weekend of shearing our county kids show lambs and goats!  Whew.  don't know if I can get all my crafts done in time.  Oh well.
