Primitive Gingerbread yo-yo candle mat

Having a quiet night home alone. Just finished up this candle mat and put it on ebay. Thanksgiving is almost here and I developed a head cold. So, today I've sneezed and blowed my nose all day, let's hope it let's up in the next couple of days! Trying to stay away from the babies. I don't want them sick. Tomorrow is baking day. I've got 4 pies to make and practice some on making hot rolls. I've not mastered the rolls yet. Got a new mixer to see if that helps?

Primitive Homespun Christmas candle mat

This candle mat is a yo-yo Christmas homespun primitive. Mat measures approx. 7 1/2" across. Great little accent piece for the primitive decor! I sell all my mats for 5.00 apiece. And currently have this one on ebay. I've sold over 70 of these little mats, this Fall. Various themes and plaids. If you are interested ,please contact me at csauls1@hotmail.com. I'd be more than happy to take requests.

Holiday candle mat

Here is a new Holiday candle mat, I've finally got finished! This one is a Santa candle mat. Just in time for the Holiday season. Been very busy these days with the 3 new grandbabies! I go to Bloomington, IL two days a week with my middle daughter, and watch the baby while she goes to school. She's going to be an Audiologist and this is her last semester of classroom work. So, I'm trying to help her out because she needs it. And her husband is in the Illinois State Police Academy and only gets to come home on the weekends. But just two and a half more months of that left. Then when I'm not there, I work part-time as a rural carrier and have picked up a couple of Saturdays this month so far. Wow! It's a busy time with Thanksgiving coming up, Christmas shopping, Shotgun deer season, babies coming to visit , and just normal stuff to do. But I'm trying to get in a few projects in between everything.

christmas stockings

I've been busy crocheting and painting a lot these days. Painted a primitive step stool and some stuffed candy canes. Trying to get ready for a county fair, I'm entering a crocheted rug and one of my crocheted Christmas Stockings, and hopefully i'll get a pumpkin man made before the fair. I don't have pictures at the moment and as soon as I can get Brittany Jo to help me I'll get those on for you to see. I make traditional red and green with or without jingle bells and khaki ones with different colored tops with rusty jingle bells for the primitive look. Just staying busy with making items to sell.
