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/

Can't believe that February is almost over, where did the time go? We are so ready for spring here in New Hampshire but we are having snow flurries again, but this new snow will help melt the old snow. In just a few weeks spring will be alive and I must start getting ready, I would love to create some spring time prim items to adorn my home and maybe start selling some of my prims.
I haven't been feeling to good see I have fibromyaligia and it's not fun at times, I have been having a flair up for almost 4 days. And all I want to do is sleep, so I am relaxing and thinking about preparing some projects to work on.

Smell of Spring/but snow is coming

with the smells of Spring and the warm sunlight, is making me dream of Spring and green grass! But the weather man is saying a Snow Storm for us here in New Hampshire. oh man I am not ready for snow.

"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!!

winters thaw

oh what a few beautiful days we have had, lovely warm weather and all the ice from my house is melted off and the snow is shrinking...even though it snowed last night, I still feel spring is in the air...
up early the house is all asleep, heading out to work in a few hours, then home to clean and maybe create something, I need to finish up some quilts that I have started and need to buy some homespun fabric to make curtains with soon.

February Already

Can't believe is February already and I haven't posted anything yet....been busy with my girls in school with mid-terms to prepare for and my oldest daughter had a drama program that just finished their show this past weekend..this momma is happy for all the car running around and late night practices (dinners warm up more times than I like).
But happen endings to all! Now onto working on some items for me, with it being February and Valentines Day coming up I am itching to sew up some prim hearts. Creating some Valentine cards and treats for my family and friends.
I am ready for creative time, it just relaxes me and makes my heart warm and fussy, lol!!!
We have had many snowstorms lately, and as I type was are getting more snow we are expected to get other 3-5 inches tonight. We have so much snow now that roofs are failing, ours are still ok, but the ice build up scares me. Lee says it's ok, but I worry that it will leak back into the house or make a hole when it falls onto the other roof.
Spending time watching tv with my girls tonight and hoping to start some stitching. I am in the mood to sew a quilt or make a applique wall hanging. I will take pics of what I create for you all to see. For I love to look at others artwork it's fun to see every ones style and art.
Evening everyone.

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

A New Year 2011

Well this is a late Thank You to Sandy over at "Olde Country Cupboard" blog!! I was one of the lucky winners to receive this prim goodness of wonderful smelling soy tarts and this adorable feather tree..I so love it Sandy thank you again.

 With 2010 coming to a close soon, I am thinking back on this past year and overhelming emotions came upon me, great happy memories, very sad ones, and brokenness that has torn me inside out. And with the scare of my husband heart issues...I can say I am very blessing and happy to have my family and friends and blog friends in my life.

Life's Moments

My title for this post is life moments for a very emotional heartfelt meaning that I hold dear to my heart. See this photo is of my husband Lee and I, early this year just a few days after our 18th year anniversary. Last week Lee was schedule for Rotor Cuff surgery, it was suppose to be an easy two hour surgery which ended up being over five hours and complications to follow. Lee had suffered a little heart failure while in surgery...he had pasted all the test to see if you can handle surgery, no one expected this to happen. He didn't fully wake up from this surgery for over three and half hours, complaining he couldn't breath-to find out his lungs had filled up with fluid from being on his side for a long time (which later we found out his heart wasn't working well enough for the lungs to work). The next day he was sent down to a bigger Hospital for a heart procedure to see if Lee had any blockages in his heart...and after a few hours the surgeons found he had 3 blockages and a narrowing of a y shape one, so another four hour surgery to put in stents and relieve his heart and lungs...all this to say I am happy to report he is home now recovering not only from one simple surgery but two big ones.
So for this Thanksgiving our family is so thankful to have Lee, honey, daddy with us for more happy moments to share. (you see the doctors told us that it was a good thing he had shoulder surgery for we would have never known about his heart and with the percentages of blockages Lee had he wouldn't have survived an heart attack.) wow that spoke volumes to me, hit me like a ton of bricks...I was strong for my daughters, but truthfully when alone in my bed late into the night I would cry and thank the Lord for keeping Lee with us...I will slow down and value life more with my family, and friends.

Happy Thanksgiving to all my prim friends!!!!!! enjoy life's simple moments and share them

around the house

I can not believe that it is already November!!! Our fall is fastly leaving and we had some snow already-here is a little peek of fall!!!! Love these colors but they don't stay long enough for me outside...so I created some fall garland to keep the beautiful rich colors longer....
November is the month devoted to Thanks. I am so blessed and thankful for my family, friends and blog friends. Thankful that God has given my the gift of crafting and creating!!!! What are you thankful for?

The beauty of fall, still amazes me every year. Here are some pics of my visit up home to my mom's home in Fort Fairfield, Maine. Love these dried up sunflowers-even after pure beauty is gone they still sing look at me I am fabulous....

Preparing for the winter, this tiny bee is collecting and gathering just like we do when the weather starts to turn colder out.

And on that note, we had snow storm last week already here in New Hampshire. Of course it doesn't stay on the ground but our Mountains peaks are getting covered.
