How Cute is this!!!

So Kathleen of Grosgrain gives away the most adorable outfits each week Yes I said each Week, just because!!!! Her sets are just adorable and so full of innocent spirit. So I am finally entering one of her give aways. Really I don't know why I haven't done it sooner. Could be because I don't have the best of luck with this sort of thing, but hey it's so worth a try. I can just see my little Megan running around in this sweet little dress, a perfect compliment to her reddish brown hair. :o) So here's to day dreaming! Check out this dress here and enter for a chance to win it for a special little girl in your life.

LaMaison Rustique Blog~Her Party!

The Blog~Her party Craft Show was yesterday. I had a great day! I met so many talented ladies and saw their beautiful creations. I was fortunate enough to make quite a few sales. My wonderful husband stayed home with all the kids, including Nathaniel so I was able to relax and even talk to grown ups with out constantly interrupting with "don't touch that, don't push your sister", and my least favorite "please get your finger out of your nose!"

It was a warm day but my table was nestled in a corner that had one of the only breezes and shade from some gorgeous old trees!

Here are some picture of my table and a beautiful chair by Marie who was set up next to me. Her furniture is just amazing!

I am even posting a very rare picture of myself...I figured what the heck these forty extra pounds are here because this body brought life to 6 beautiful children , I'll wear the extra weight as a badge of honor while I am trying to loose it :o)
Have a blessed Sunday!

I'm Off!!!

Well it's time for the La Maison Rustique Blog~her Party craft show! Whew what a title!

So for the past 4 weeks I have been getting ready for this show and it's on Saturday!

I will post lots of pics and some stories come Sunday, plus get to my e-mail in box :o).

Here are a couple of pictures of the "barn that I snapped tonight as I was setting up.

I so want this chair for my work space! Just a bit out of my range though. :o)

So this is what happens when i get stressed!

I was so excited to find tiny feet stamps! The possibilities are just endless for design options. The first thing that popped into my head when I saw it was the foot prints poem and I immediately knew how I would turn it into a bracelet.

The feet came in toady's mail!!!! So I dropped all my other projects, even though the craft show/ Blog her party is on Saturday and I have tons left to do to get ready. I got out my hammer and anvil and set to it.

I should have known better.
God wants us to be patient and it is not one of my better virtues so here is what happens when I get ahead of my self. Sigh This one is going into the oops box, and i am setting back to what needs to get finished before I can play again!

If you can't see it in the photo the H is sideways!

Ta Da!

So here they are....This design was inspired by a wall painting I saw. It's simple and clean. The center had a large initial of the family's last name and all around it were the family's first names. So here is my version if it in silver. The first works best with at least 5 names. The second is a different option for it with the last initial hanging freely and works well for a smaller family!

Thanks again Ashley and Kristen for being my guinea pigs :o)

Talent Treasury Tuesday!

Okay I know Tuesday is almost over! You'll have to forgive me...it was a fun filled day of doctors and dentists visits with the 6 little monkeys.

This week I am featuring a friend of mine. Tracy of Creme de la Gems is a Polymer Clay Artists, and her work is just incredible! She creates the most adorable tiny works of art. Her attention to detail is just impeccable. Each strand of hair is hand applied every small accessory place on one piece at a time. It never ceases to amaze me how she can recreate almost anything in clay! You can find Tracy on both ebay and etsy! Perfect for any princess.

Tracy is definitely sharing Gods gift to her, with the world. :o)

New design :O)

Happy Tuesday!

Well the new design will not be posted until tomorrow. Little Nathaniel got his shots today so he needs some extra love and cuddles!

I decided to take the first two that e-mailed and offer two versions of it. It is simple and chic.

Keep an eye out later tonight for the Tuesday Talent Treasury!

Would you like to have custom necklace at cost?

I need some help!!!

Ok I have a great design idea...at least I think it's great ;o). I would like to make it this evening but i already have a family necklace that I wear all the time so I would like to offer the first to someone else.

So here are the detail. If you would like a personalized sterling silver necklace at cost (only the cost of my supplies not fabrication and crafting time) Then send me an e-mail. I will take the first e-mail I get to keep it impartial. I will give that person the description and exact cost and if it is something they would like then I will stop with that one. If that person is not interested then I will move on to the next.

This will look best with at least 5 names (husband wife and kids or 5 kids)

Tomorrow I will post the new design and list it on Etsy.

Talent Treasury!

Three posts in one day!! I know I have no life ;o)

Actually it's I have no sleep as my hubby has been out of town since last Sunday and my adorable 3 month old has decided that 1 am to 5 am is the best time to get mommy's attention. So in my late night knee bouncing, coffee drinking, praying please sleep please sleep...I have come across some amazing treasures on etsy.

This has inspired me to start a Talent treasury. I love the parable of the Talents. Where Jesus tells the story of the servant who buried his to be safe, and the other who took his out in the world and multiplied it 100 fold (forgive my summarizing as I do not have it memorized)

Once a week I will show some of the talents that people have been blessed with and are sharing with the world! I was planning on doing this each Friday but for the sake of alliteration it will be Talent Treasury Tuesday! Enjoy...

These amazing cards are made by Kelly of happy day studio The name is too perfect! Who couldn't have a happy day after receiving one of these works of art. Kelly hand paints each one. I love the clean simple lines and vibrant colors she uses to create whimsical treasures. I know i will be doing all my card shopping here!
