Ages since I posted....

Its been ages since I posted an update on here....Life is full
My daughter Erika, works with duck tape all the time and she has designed some of the neatest things. But this is one of my favorites....
 
She has it hanging in her room.  Made all from duck tape.  I took the photo some time ago and finally getting around to posting about it.   I love it!!!  I have to go get a frame for it one of these days.
Erika does  have her own Etsy shop ....Krazy for Craftin   
She is selling her wallets and I can personally tell you that they hold up well, I use my Green Bay Packers one and I love it. Erika is like me , she can sit and craft for hours...LOL
So what have I been up to, dolls mostly....



These are listed over in my Etsy shop.
These dolls are shipped and at there new home.....

 
A new primitive pillow tuck
 You can find the here in my Etsy shop.   I have a few more pillows in the work too!
These dolls are listed also in my Etsy shop waiting for a home.


So that is just a little of what I have been up to these days. Along with the day to day life of a family....lol.    That alone keeps me pretty busy.  I am looking forward to spring and then summer, where life just seems to be more relax without the day to day school life.
Hope to be back sooner next time.........Take care and God Bless.....COLLEEN

Bunnies and new Annies

Wow, can't believe how long between my post have been. Life has been keeping me busy and I just have found it hard to concentrate on anything these days. But I started sewing again and it feels good. Creating is what I love to do the most. So here is my newest dolls and even some bunnies. Annie in her monkey dress...
My primitive bunny...this was a bunny that I never did and it was fun to do.  Something simple and primitive.
Annie in a cute orange purple dress....I love the colors of this ...makes me think of spring and all the wonderful sunshine and flowers.
Another bunny in a primitive rust orange dress.
Gingerbread Annie....always the time for gingerbreads.
Annie in a barn red dress.
I will be listing these over on Etsy.  
Back to sewing some more....Till next time. Colleen

This and That...

Things are busy around here, and I am sure it is busy for most everyone this time of year.  I keep wanting to post and say Hi but always things to do....LOL
Been wanting to post this little bit of news, with the help of me my daughter Erika has opened up a shop on Etsy....KrazyforCraftin 
Right now in her shop she has duck tape wallets. 



she is just like me, always creating something.  Keeping busy!!   
She made me one a while back and I use it and love it but one day shopping I found a new duck tape, loved it and had her make me another one....
 
Love my Green Bay Packers!! Using this wallet and loving it. So if you still need an Christmas gift these would make a unique and useful item.
Please go check out her new store.....Erika....Krazy for Craftin



I have some pictures of a our hometown Christmas parade we went to and Andrew had his Christmas concert so I will try to post them soon.  Take care and Enjoy this time of year!!
