10 Days Until Halloween and a Halloween Pinkeep Swap!

10 Days Until Halloween. Smells soooo good!

Below is the Halloween pinkeep that I received from Barbara in Viv's Halloween Pinkeep Swap. I love what she made! Mine is so simple compared to hers. It is amazing how talented so many bloggers are. I hope to be as good as they are one day!

This is the one I made. Don't laugh. lol

11 Days Until Halloween and a New Sewing Machine!

I joined the 13 days until Halloween swap and below are my first three goodies from my partner Daisy. I hope she enjoys what I sent her. Sorry the first two pictures are so dark! The first picture is a spider basket and the second picture is Halloween decorative cupcakes that she made. They are so cute!

I finally got a new sewing machine. I am soooo happy! I was smacking my old one everytime I used it. lol The instructions on my new one say not to hit it or drop it. Haha. This machine knew I was coming. I love it. It is electronic and has alot of different stitches and it didn't cost a ton. I was going to get a Kenmore, but then I found a Brother for the same price that was electronic. I was hesitant because my old one is a Brother, but it was about 15 years old. I am so happy with the new one and can't wait to get started on Christmas ornies!

Railroad Festival

Well, the festival is finally over. We did ok, could have been better. The economy is slowly picking up. Going to do some local craft shows to get rid of the rest of the inventory. The festival was alot of fun though. Going to do it again next year. All of the other vendors were so nice. Appomattox is such a beautiful place. It was nice to visit my family.
