What have I been up to!!! Dec. 1st already....

Wow where has the time gone, so busy doing so many things I haven't had much time to devote to my prim blog and crafting. The past two months I have been ill and trying to get a Christmas Workshop put together plus work on some crafty items to sell at some Holiday Craft Fairs...CRAZY!!!

 I did manage to make some homemade rolls and lazz. for supper a few weeks ago, you know before turkey day. Which I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving, I sure did and it was crazy meaning, two days before Thanksgiving I got a call from my sis that said you need to come home and cheer mom up....so with all that said we packed up and drove up home to Maine in a blizzard!!!! CRAZY if my sister didn't have a 4x4 wheel drive we wouldn't have made it....but we did safe and sound and surprized my mom not just for Thanksgiving but her birthday too...love ya mom.

 One day last month I was walking around my home just enjoying my decorations that I have made and this wreath spoke to me, it was the first thing I made from our bush out back in the yard the first fall we lived here. So love the simple joy it gives me.

 here is some of the craziness I have been up to rolling book pages into roses, wreaths, card making, sewing...ooooo the list goes on...and I am still not done.

 started to dabble in mixed media art to not bad for my first ever face......

What I've been Doing!

Wow where has the time gone, I haven't posted on this blog since March, I have been dealing with some illnesses that have really taken over my life, and from March on I have been so sick and trying to just live everyday life. Finially the doctors discovered that I was really sick and I had surgery to have all my girly parts removed, I was in the hospital for a few days and I have been home recovering but I am not out of the woods still having some issues other issues and now I am heading into have a GI done. Hoping to know soon what I am dealing with they think a bleeding ulcer or acid reflux disease.

Please forgive me for not posting life has been really busy, with all this illness and recovery our family has been busy trying to help me around the house, life tilling the garden. love the fresh dirt.

 To keep my spirits up I did take place in my first ATC Card Swap...this is what a came up with it had to be made out of metal...love it...

                             Our spring has been beautiful and I love the lilacs are just so beautiful!

                              here is what my daughter and husband did for me while I was in the hospital

                                                                      a little mini I created

stay tune I have more to share...

It smells like Spring!!!

Yesterday it sure started to smell like Spring, the weather here on East Coast can be surprizing this time of the year, winter is trying to leave and spring is slowing creeping up on us....The wind was blowing and crows were gathering on the only patch of dead green grass that was showing in my neighbors front yard. I could smell "Spring" which is soooo need here. I am ready to start thinking of my new garden and flowerbeds for this year. But first I have been dreaming of bunnies and Easter eggs. So I decided to bring a little spring early to the Baker home and created this cute little Easter Basket and cards to share.

isn't this little bunnie touch your heart, he does mine,

next is a tri-fold card with again the bunnie that warms my heart

close up of the Easter Basket ready to be filled with candy and given to that special someone or a teacher gift. I have been missing my primitive creating lately so I am off to create a prim spring banner for my home, yes I will share. soon.

Home Sweet Home

Here is a little project I have been working on, love these colors and the homespun feel. This will look great on my wall. There is more details on my other blog http://pegbaker.blogspot.com/

"Tag Play House"

yes I know it's nothing to do with primitive, but I wanted to share and little spring time with you, over at my other blog Creative Scraps by Peggy Lee you can see more pics and information on this little creation. Hope you enjoy I am truely dreaming of Spring!!

Simply beautiful

I just love the simply beauty of weathered worn wood, houses, old barns falling down brings great heartfelt emotions of dreaming-of it's past-life that once breathed in and out of the people who once walked and lived among these beauties.This photo is of my mother-in-laws back door to her home, I love it!!!

 With winter blowing and falling down upon us, I must admit I am dreaming of Spring, love my mothers olde watering can with the wild daisy's growing. And I am dreaming of yard sales and flea markets again, one of my favorite things to do on the weekends. Here are some goodies I picked up this past summer.

 They will become part of my altered art projects or just sit on a table to be admire, these lace trims will become the star in my scrap booking layouts or home decor pillows.

Valentines will soon be upon us, I am starting to think of reds, pinks and hearts! Here is a Valentine Card I made last year that I thought I would share with you all. My mind is spinning with ideas to create with felt, fabric and papers...stay tune for more eye candy to come.

Thanks Peggy Lee
