Happy Good Friday

Good Morning blogger friends,

First, I would like to wish everyone a very Happy Good Friday and a blessed Easter.  It is going to be a beautiful weekend here in Upstate NY and I am super excited about enjoying the outdoors later today after the work is all done out in the shop.  

Thank you to all my wonderful customers that have allowed me to continue running my sign business and I truly enjoy every minute of it.

It has been a busy week both out in the workshop and in the home.  Our youngest son Zach  (18) is headed out this morning to Washington, DC to spend 7 days around the capitol.  They are planning on going to the zoo, Fredicksburgh, the White House ect, and they were lucky enough to be able to wrangle a visit to see Air Force One.  He is with a good friend of ours and her children.  I told him to take lots of pictures LOL!!

I have also set up a new shop at a new selling site called Bonanzle and you can find me here: http://www.bonanzle.com/booths/slypondprim  if you get a chance, please stop by and take a look around.

Remember friends, I have extended my Spring Sale at http://slypondprimitives.com/store/Default.asp
until Sunday April 4th.

Also, just type OFG into the Etsy search bar and find more wonderful items from the Old Farmhouse Gathering group.

Enjoy your day and many blessings,
Amy

Good Morning blogger friends,

Woke up this morning to a dusting of snow :(...I hope this is the end of it!  Yesterday we reached 55 degrees with the sun shining and today snow, but the sun is out.

It has been very busy around the workshop this week and still have more to do...thanks to all my wonderful customers!!

Jeff and I have decided to add more products to our website, so we will be working on some great reproduction furniture in the next few weeks.  We are super excited to expand into this and hope our customers and my blogger friends will love what we will have to offer.  Jeff is going to be making the furniture and I will paint it up and make them look old...going to be fun!!  Maybe I can get him to make me some for the house too :)

Don't forget I am still running the sale on my prim signs over at:  http://slypondprimitives.com/  until Sunday.  I am extend the sale, but haven't decided yet.  So, if there is a sign you are looking for, take a peek.

HAPPY FRIDAY

Happy Friday blogger friends,


Yesterday was super busy and today is going to be the same.  Lots of orders for my signs and I am super happy about that :)!!  


Yesterday we spent part of the morning looking again for our two dogs...they decided the day before to escape the yard and spend the afternoon and night running around the adirondack mts.  Luck for us, our wonderful neighbors, (there are only 2) kept a eye out for them.  The wandered down to the Shelving Rock Estate, up to Sleeping Beauty mt and finally worked their way back down our road.  Jeff and I got in the truck and started looking and yelling, and here comes Ty (7 mos. old pit bull puppy) running down the road with the neighbors boxer.  Got him in the truck and then went looking for Murray ( 2 yr. old Black Lab) he was about 1/4 mile up the road sitting in the middle of road waiting for his brother!!  They both got a talking too, but they were too tired to care :).



Jeff is going out today to see where the escape artist are getting out.  One acre of our land is completely fenced in with 6ft fence, but they found a spot somewhere.  I wouldn't mind so much that they get out, pretty quite up here, but the fox, wolves and other creatures are starting to move around a lot...our neighbor Tim just shot a red fox on Monday that was too close to the houses, in the middle of the day...so yup, we think it had rabies.


The rest of the day was spent out in the shop working on signs.  Today, more signs to make :)


Don't forget TODAY is the last day to sign up for my Alphabet Checkerboard Sign giveaway!!  You have until midnight to get your entry in.


Thank you to everyone who has signed up so far and for posting on your blogs, facebook, twitter ect.. I really appreciate it!!

Also, don't forget I am having a Spring Sale on all my primitive signs over at :  
www.slypondprimitives.com 



Hope everyone enjoys their day and gets outside to enjoy the beautiful weather!!


Many Blessings,
Amy

OFG MONDAY MARKETPLACE FEATURED ARTISIAN

Good Monday Morning Friends,

Today I am featuring Brenda from the Rusty Thimble for my OFG Monday Market Place featured artisian.
Brenda has been on Etsy for only a few months and has the most adorable items in her shoppe.  Brenda answered a  few questions so you can get to know her and what she offers:

1. What is the name of your Etsy shop and why did you choose that name?
 
I come by the name honestly, I even had store named this in Texas.
I ask my husband almost everyday if you find something rusty
 today please bring it home to me. 
2. How long have you been on Etsy?
Just a few months now.
3. What type of items do you offer?
Primtive Handmade items dolls, critters, tucks, makedos
4. How long have you been crafting?
 
 I remember as a child making doll clothes and watching my mother sew.
 I Made all of my own clothing in high school
I have made my creations and sold them since
the age of 18 and I am now in my 50's. 
So I guess I could say I have crafted almost all of my life. 

5. Who or What inspires you?
 
I get my inspiration from so many places.
I live at a lake and love to go to the water and sit. 

I love color and all things I can get my hands on that
are VINTAGE to use in projects. Old quilts are my favorite, 
my grandmother and mother always quilted. My mom is 88  
and she stills quilts that is enough to inspire anyone. 
I hope I am still doing this if I reach that age.
 
6. What is your favorite item in your shop and why?
Right now that would be my Cone Rabbit. 
 It is an original OOAK no two are ever alike. 
I often make this using old sheet music for the cones.
7. Other places where you can be found (Ebay, webstore, blog)

  My favorite doll designers are
 Maureen at Sweet Meadows Farm

One set of "A Primitive Welcome" Bowl Fillers

and




One larger set of "Think Spring" Bowl Fillers

*** Both sets have been dipped in Cinnamon-Vanilla scented wax ***

ADORABLE EMBROIDERED BUNNY PILLOW GIVE AWAY!!!!! by PioneerLoft

Adorable Embroidered Red Bunny Pillow Give Away from PioneerLoft




I'm giving away this adorable bunny pillow! The bunny patch is attached to a VERY NARROW wale of red corduroy and stuffed with new poly fiberfil. It is soft. Measures about 11" square. Spot clean only.




It's Monday

Hello blogger friends,

What a Monday it has been so far.  First we lost power for over 5 hours due to high winds, and rain.  A bunch of wires came down and it took awhile for the power company to find them..as the lines run through the mountain.  Just glad to have it back on! :)

So, I literally got nothing done today that I wanted to.  But, there is always tomorrow.

I will be doing a Monday Market Place OFG feature tomorrow instead of today...so be on the lookout tomorrow to see the luckly artistian :).

Hope everyone's Monday went well and many Blessings,

It's Thursday!

Good Morning Friends,

It has been a busy week here at Irish Corkies Primitives..lots of orders!  Just a quick reminder that my sale ends tomorrow night at my Artfire store :http://www.artfire.com/users/irishcorkieprimitives  everything in my store is 10% off!  Hurry on over if you are looking for a sign :)

I have been so busy that I didn't get a chance to let you all know what happened last weekend.  We let our Lab Murray who is almost 2 years and Ty the puppy out, no mind you, we have 1 acre that is completly fenced in with 6' high fence.  Well, the little buggers figured a way out and off they went.

Luckly we live on a dirt road on top of a mountian, bad news is there are a lot of critters out here, including a den of coyotes and a mountain lion.  Well they never came back that day or night.  We were out looking, calling and even took the sled out.  No luck.

On Saturday morning we received a call from a very nice gentleman that asked if we were missing some dogs.  I said yes and told them what kind of dogs and their names (thank goodness their tags stayed on).  Those doggies of ours traveled over the mountain and ended up at the Northern end of Lake George.  That is over 20 miles!!!

I was just so HAPPY to have them home safe and sound.  They did get a good talking to you, but they just wagged their tails and went to sleep LOL!

So, needless to say they don't go out together anymore LOL..Jeff did find where they sneak out and fixed it, but I know the lab and he will find another way...:)

I also wanted to post that I finally have my website up and running:

http://slypondprimitives.com/store/Default.asp

Please stop by and take a look...Amy Allen from http://amybug.com/ did a fantastic job for me and I am very pleased with the way it looks.

Have a wonderful Thursday friends!!

Blessings and hugs,
Amy

The $1.00 Blog Challenge For Haiti

Kim from Irish Rose Creations has set up this wonderful donation for the many people of Haiti.  Please, if you can, go and make a donation :)




Like so many, I feel compelled to contribute in some way to the on-going relief efforts in Haiti. My initial impulse was to advertise that a percentage of my Etsy sales would go to charity. But how do I prove to my buyers that this is really where their money is going?? And I also understand not everyone has $20.00 or more to spare. Let's face it, our economy has been strained. But that shouldn't prevent us from uniting together and helping in some small way. I did some research and discovered that I could create my own fundraising web page with UNICEF, one of the most reputable organizations in these efforts, particularly for the welfare of mothers and children. As a mother myself, it has been the images of Haitian children during these last few days that has just tugged at my heart. So my challeng to you is to donate just $1.00 to my UNICEF Fundrasing efforts. This donation goes directly to UNICEF. I set a goal of $500.00 and feel confident that this can easily be met. To donate:
