A new look...

Good Morning!I have been working on my blog this morning, I have been wanting to personalize my spot ever since I started this thing. But, I have to limit my self in front of the computer, otherwise I will never get anything made!  This is a picture of my front porch, I love my rusty table and chairs...This is my favorite time of year for sure! Below is my newest pattern...

An Autumn Poem with wool leaves and flannel borders, it can be framed in a 10X13" Frame. Or made into a pillow for the couch, as a hostess gift, or a wall hanging.  Pattern comes complete with design, instructions photo and supply list.  $8.00  You can purchase it on my Etsy account, or email me and I can invoice you from Pay Pal...

Well anyway, I hope the new banner looks nice on your computer, please tell me if it is too big or something else is not quite right...I appreciate it very much...Please visit my Etsy account...and Have a most wonderful Monday!!!  I will be getting ready for Sugar Plum for the next few weeks, Time to get busy!!!

a quick little Monday babble from a simple mind!

Be a blessing to someone today!  <3 Deb

Greetings
Well I actually followed through...Unbelievable yes, true none the less!
I did post some new goodies to the etsy page, I hope you will like the offerings...
The page is kind of slow so I haven't gotten to everything but that's ok, there is tomorrow to get things done...
Everything will come in time.  I am very impatient, I am also finding out how much of a control freak I am...


Our youngest is learning how to drive and I had to sit in the BACKSEAT of my own car...and I hate doing that...control issue one, while she was driving, things do look worse from the backseat, so I made some little noises...control issue two, maybe one or two gasps, but who is counting...ok my daughter, but still they were legit!  It was dark and we were on the freeway, and its crowded where we were going...ok, so control issue three, I really just wanted her to pull over and get out and let me do it.  I don't even like it when my husband drives...so control issue four.  On the way home...I just closed my eyes and hummed softly to my self till we were home...needless to say my girl wasn't very happy with her momma..I told her I couldn't help it I have issues...


By the way she is becoming a good driver, she like the rest of us have developed some bad habits...so we have to work on those, but for the most part she is getting it...need I mention, this was last night and I'm typing tonight, so we did make it home alive and well! lol


We did laugh about it, and to be fair my husband and I were doing most of the laughing, might have been fear laughing, I'm not too sure!...she did laugh too, and we weren't that crazy on her, but its so hard after so many years of being in control to just one day say ok and give up your control.  Even though it happens slowly, they start wanting to play with their friends more outside, then comes the clothing choices, then more and more freedom is given...( I am skipping some things, but you know what I'm saying) But it sneaks up on you when you are adjusting to a new phase in their life a new one develops.  I am not THaT crazy about control, I want my kids to grow up and be wonderful adults, that's our job as parents, to raise up well rounded adults, that they will be efficient members of society. To be loving caring people, to make this crazy world a better place because they are in it.   
But no matter what, we do the best we can and we fight like hell to keep control, only to loose it in the end, especially when we realize we never had any control in the first place...My baby will be a very good driver, it just takes practice and loads of patience from her parents. But just like everything else in our lives we have to start somewhere and eventually we become an expert at whatever it is we are doing... 


         In the mean time...
I better find something to do while I'm in the backseat of my own car...because, the older she gets...well that only means the older I get...Time is ticking, better live this life with gusto!


I know that God is great!  He gives us just what we need when we need it...I hope God is blessing you with Everything you need and helping you with what you don't need...Stay Strong and keep the Faith!


Thanks so much for stopping by and reading my babbles, they truly are from a simple mind!  Have a wonderful week, stay cool if you are in my neck of the woods and keep warm if you  aren't! so funny the differences...


Keep checking back on the etsy page, I will be adding Christmas soon...


Thank you for stopping by,
More babbles from a simple mind
Until next time...Deb :0)


I will be at Sugar Plum in Costa Mesa again in November if you get a chance to come out, you should do this one, I understand its the biggest gift show they do...November 10th-12th  2011 The admission is free so grab your friends and come out to Orange County Fair grounds in Costa Mesa CA to get your shopping done for the Holidays!  See you there...Deb

Well I did it...I never thought I would ever make it to Sugar Plum...Why? I have no idea, seemed unattainable for some reason...But I had some great encouragement and support.  I decided last min to do the show!  I created like you cannot believe.  I was 2 1/2 weeks out from the show and managed to make enough stuff to get started.  I would have liked to have had more, but what I made did the job. 
The show runs for 3 days Thurs Fri and Sat, there were over 9,000 people who went through that show...great exposure if I do say...
The day we had to set up was pouring rain and I only have a truck, no trailer.  The show was an hour away so every piece of my display got soaked. By the time we got down there, it had stopped raining so the set up wasn't totally horrible.  My Daughter is amazing to say the least!  She helped me set up and we had a blast!  She knows how intense I can be and is patient enough, but then says that's it and drags me away! lol

We had to set up quick of course, because we left late from home, it was raining, and had to stop once to adjust the fencing, find where to set up, and on and on...so we only had like 2 1/2 hours to get it done...I like to do and redo...as I said before, but had no time at set up...I was really hoping my Daughters Photos would have sold!  She does such wonderful work, such a natural talent, and good eye for things...Maybe you think that's just the mom talking...but see for your self...

I have them listed in my Etsy account...if you would like to see more  wildoberryfarms.etsy.com

Well we did have fun, after the show was over, The owner had us gather around for a closing meeting.  There were prizes and raffles, loads of encouragement for the next show, which by the way I'm going to do, I think I'm hooked...anyway....Everyone there was so nice and helpful, didn't seem like a lot of grumbly people!  Which you can find in situations like this.  But so far everyone was great!  I'm looking forward to next months show...which reminds me, I will only have 3 weeks to get it done...I better get busy!  It's a little difficult to get into the Harvest/Christmas frame of mind when the weather has been in the triple digits!  Yesterday was 105 I think...we have been warm to say the least!  I hope the weather is better where you are!  Happy Fall Ya'll!!

Thanks for stopping by and I will be listing new goodies on my etsy account on Sunday so if you have nothing better to do stop by and take a look! ha ha

Just a few babbles from a simple mind...
Be Blessed!!  Deb
