I'm Back, Thank You All For A Great 2010

Ok I'm back It's was a very busy 2010 for My Country Cottage Signs/Raggedy Dollys! I want to thank all of my customers for a great year!

I have lots to share. Don't know where to start. How about a photo of my Lil Ashlynn with Santa?:

Ok now down to business I am having a problem with my webhost she seems to have fallen off the face of the earth, her website is shut down. My emails to my webhost are returned to me undelivered.

My website My Country Cottage is down right now and is asking you to download firefox. Please don't download anything I don't know why it is asking for you to download and I don't know who could be doing this.

I am working on new websites right now. Click here: Raggedy Dollys is finished go take a look and let me know what you think.

We are working on My Country Cottage Signs right now, so I am referring my customers to my Click Here: Etsy Shop Until my website is complete. Sorry for any inconvience this may cause you, I will notify you when my website is up and running here on my blog, facebook and twitter!

My favorite Craft Show Sugar Plum Arts & Crafts Festival in Buena Park is next week the show starts Feb. 3rd - 5th.

The count down is at 7 days for me, where does the time go? Still working on my new pieces, can hardly wait to see how they come out. You know when you take your sketchs and make the product it doesn't always come out the way you envisioned it. Anyhow I will share pics of my work in progress, dragged it all in the house to work on last night.



I got a new Droid X phone and loving it the phone can do so much it's amazing! I still have lots to learn, I seem to learn something new daily.

I am having fun taking photos these two were taken with my phone, not to shabby! Now maybe I will have more photos to share with you. I always forget my camera at home.LOL

I will close with this: I ran across this I feel that a lot us can relate including myself actually this is my biggest problem. LOL

OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH FOOD

All of us have to eat. For Women Who Do Too Much, how and what we eat is often problematic. And developing a healthy relationship with food—well, that concept sounds a bit foreign, doesn’t it?

Ashlynn And Raggedy Pippi Annie!

I just wanted to share a photo of my granddaughter and a special order Pippi Raggedy Annie I made. When I was taking a photo of my new Raggedy Ann doll Ashlynn wanted to pose with her.

So here they are, aren't they both so Cute!!!



She's a big girl raggedy, I will be posting her soon on my website.

As you can see Ashlynn is grandma's lil helper, she just loves working with me. Ashlynn tells me when she grows up she is going to be an artist like grandma and work with me.

Well will see if that happens, my poor 3 kids were all subjected to this crazy crafters life and none of them are doing what I do (except my youngest who still has to help out). In fact the further away from all this the happier they are. Sad but true, maybe my Lil Ashlynn will be different. I can only wish, I would love to teach her to sew and paint.

My daughter is really great at this, she is a natural. She works really fast and does a great job, but has no interest in my work other then helping me out when I REALLY need her. Which is not as often as I would like, but I will take all the help I can get!

Thanks for stopping by for a visit and have a great day,

Rosalie

Lemonade Addiction!

Well I don't know if calling it an Addiction is correct, but I have had my hand squeezed lemonade drink on a daily basis. It's been so hot here and lemonade just seems to quench my thirst. Thanks to my beautiful lemon tree, that has given us so many lemons this year, I am able to have my drink daily.

Here is a photo of my lemon tree, she's a little bare looking now.



Funny it's the little things that seem to make us happiest. Would you like to share with me what makes you happy?

Have a great weekend,

Rosalie
