Meet the Neighbors

I just couldn't resist posting pics of these cute gals.

 I have a field on each side of my home with cows. One side is the milkers and the other side the Farmer has his young bulls and heifers. Their not in the same field all the time. The farmer does rotates them to 3 different fields.

Some don't like to miss a thing.

Believe it or not. I have a field day with them. They come running when they see me. They follow me when I walk up and down the yard. They like to be petted and hand fed. I know it sounds pretty sad that. I figured it all out one day when I need a break from unpacking.....lol

They love to have their pictures taken.

Some are just too cute

I  wonder why they have a tag in each ear. You would think that one would be enough but I guess the farmer wanted his gals to be stylin. The cow with tag 388 is my favorite. She is usually the first one to come to me. I need to give her name because 388 just doesnt cut it. What does she remind you of?

I wish I had a pic of the young bull that I feed. All I have to do is whistle and yell come on and he comes running for his snack most of the time. Then he lets my rub his nose and sometimes if Im lucky I get to feel his little horns.

Some are shy

Let me tell you There is nothing like being licked by a cow. It's like your dog licking your hand after drinking a large bowl of water but its tongues is huge. Its rather gross.....lol

My 1890 Farmhouse

Hey Everyone, Sorry I have been gone for so long. I haven't  realized how long it has been since my last post. A lot has changed since then. My family and I have just started a new journey in our lives this July. We rented an old 1890 stone farmhouse.

It has a lot of potential. Its a shame the owners left it sit empty for a1 and 1/2 years. We did do some cleaning up outside. I planted a few flowers in the front flower bed that I moved with us. That is just a winter over place for them right now. I just wish I had a roof over my front porch.

So I will be doing a lot more posting of DIY projects and make overs. Every room gets one. I just cant wait to show you the before and after pics. Im also getting back into my crafting. So you will get to see some of my projects I make for the house and yard.

Just a little fill in on the house. 4 bedrooms,1 and 1/2 bath, living room, a large eat in kitchen, hall closet, foyer with stairs leading to a little landing, back stairs leading to the kitchen. 2 side porches, upper side porch or balocny ( whatever you want to call it) and a craft room twice the size I had before. My little piece of heaven.....lol The house also sits on about 3 to 4 acres. We also have a lot planned for the yard next summer too. A vegetable garden, butterfly garden and so much more. I just cant tell all my plans yet. You have to wait and see what they are. ;)

To be honest, I am getting so excited about decorating the house for the Fall/Halloween outside. I have soooo many idea and pinterest isnt making it any easier.....lol

What Can I Say......

I have the sweetest hubby. He has been so busy working his butt off the past few days on my stack of pallets. He built me this awesome primitive potting bench. I just love it.

Its 6' tall x 3' wide.

 I love the aged look of the potting bench. I think he did a damn good job of building it since he just went by the picture I found and what I told him what I wanted. He even made me a couple of boxes and a tray so far.

4 section box

2 section box

All 3 together

Even Pandora gave her seal of approval on the tray.  Hubby told me that he still had some more things he wanted to make for me since we still have a nice pile of pallet wood left. 

Now comes the fun part. I get to decorate the potting bench. When I get it decorated I'll make sure to post some pictures.

Boy! Have I been busy....

Hey everyone, I didn't realize I have been gone for almost 2 weeks. Time really flies when your having fun. Well some of it was fun. Let me give you a little run down of what I have been up too. Last time I posted I was working on my tissue box dolls. Well I still have one to finish. I did find good homes for 2 of them. I gave them as gifts.

 I made her a sweet bouquet of flowers to hold.

I made the flowers from muslin. The yellow and blue flowers I tinted using decorating chalk and the orange one, I just dyed some muslin orange and garnished it with a purple glass bead.  Unfortunately I didn't get a pic of the other one. I cant believe I forgot to get a  pic.Well actually yes I can....lol

Well in the process of sewing the dolls bonnets, I accidentally  sewed my finger instead. Yes, I said my finger.

 It really wasn't that bad. Surprisingly it didn't really hurt until hubby started to clean it up for me. Unfortunately I broke the needle in my sewing machine and I didn't have any extra. So my sweet hubby actually went to Joann's for me and bought me some new sewing needles.  Wasn't that so sweet of him? After about 2 hours I was back to sewing.

I have also been working on making some pantry cakes out of wax.

 Here I have some of them looking all pretty and primitive. I just love how they turned out and most of all how they smell.

Grunged up pineapples

more pantry cakes

and even more

choc bunny

choc eggs

I also made these cute chocolate looking bunnies and eggs out of wax that smells just like the real thing. They almost smell good enough to eat.

I have also been working one a new selling blog "Jager Hollow Primitives". Hopefully I'll have it up and running soon. Wish me luck....lol
