The Arrival of Our First Grandbaby!

Hi everyone!  How are you?  How was your Christmas?  Our Christmas was fun this year.  We got to spend the day with our children in our home.  It was nice to sit around and enjoy each others company.  Oh, and play with all the neat gifts.  I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and enjoyed spending time with your family. Over the holidays, we were finally blessed with our first grandbaby, a healthy baby girl. 
Brailynn Avery Suzukie was born on 12//29/09 at 3:37am.  She weighed 7Lbs 9 oz. & is 19" Long.  Momma and baby are doing just fine.  My daughters labor and delivery couldn't of been any easier.  She was in labor for 8 hours, and pushed for only 17 minutes, and there she was!  This was the first time that I've ever got to witness a baby being born, and it was absolutely amazing!   I've been asked how it feels to finally be a grandma, and I can only say.............that it's a feeling that I can't describe.  When I first saw her, I cried.  She is absolutely beautiful!  She has the prettiest complection, and is sooooooo perfect!  She's definately  Grandmas little girl!  :)   I'ts going to be wonderful to watch her grow.  I will be posting photos of her from time to time, so you can share in my joy.  Here is a photo of her the day she was born.  ~Happy New Year!~ Jody

Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays!

Hello folks, how are you this week?  Are you ready for Christmas?  It's only a few days away!  I'm ready.  I did all my shopping online!  The tree is finally up, and the presents are wrapped!  I'm going on vacation starting Dec. 22 - Jan 4th.  Orders received prior to these dates will ship out when completed.  I will answer any questions and emails that come in while I'm on vacation.  Orders placed during this time will be done when I return to work January 4th.  We've been waiting the last couple weeks for our first grandchild to arrive.  My daughter decided to wait to see if the baby would come on her own.  Well, she hasn't, so my daughter is going to the Dr. this afternoon to be induced, so we should have a baby hopefully today!  I will post some photos real soon!  Have a Merry Christmas everyone!  Enjoy the holidays! ~Jody~

Waiting For Grandbaby

Hello! I may be going on vacation here pretty soon.  We've been waiting for the baby to arrive here at the Stacy household.  She is due on December 20th.  But the Dr. told my daughter this week, that baby is big and needs to come now, or there will be complications.  So my daughter goes in today I guess, the Dr. is going to break her water.  So were on standby waiting for the call to come to the hospital.  The anticipation has been really hard for me.  I'm so excited, that I can hardly wait!  I can't wait to see what she looks like, and to hold her.  My daughter went to the Dr. a couple weeks ago and had a 3D ultrasound done.  I can't beleive the technology today, it's really neat what they can do now days.  Here's one of those photos, she is sticking her tongue out!  Notice how clear the photo is. When she arrives I will post photos to share with you.  I will keep you posted as to when my vacation time will be.
"Waiting For Brailynn" First Grandbaby!

Primitive Kitchen Canister Set #4 Item# 159

We've decided to go ahead and make the Primitive Kitchen Canister Sets, that so many of you have inquired about.  They will be identical to Item# 159, with the exception of the knob & size, we will be purchasing the black knobs instead of making them.  The sizes may be a little different then the others, when we have the measurments I will post them to the site.  They will all be lined with rubber maid.  You will have the option of purchasing them with the design I painted on them prior or, you may choose a design of your choice.  The price of these will be a little higher, due to us having to make them ourselves, but at least they will be new, not used.  I can take orders for these now, but we won't start production until January 1st.  I've moved the Canister Sets to the Primitive Categorie. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask. Have a good week! ~Jody~

The Craft Bazaar

Hello everyone!, hope you all had a great weekend!  I just wanted to drop by and let you know that the craft show I participated in was a huge success!  I did better than I thought I'd do.  It was the first show I've participated in, in 20 something years.  I met alot of nice people from my home town.  It was such a pleasure meeting all of you.  The best sellers were my Chenille Snowman Item# 132, My Chenille Snowman with Cardinals Item# 138.  I sold a couple of my new ornaments, and something from my OOAK categorie.
I'm already planning on attending one large show next year.  All I have to do is decide which one to attend.  I'm already planning on what new items to make for the site and show for next year.  I will keep you posted when I figure out which show I'll  attend and what new products will be added.

I'm going to be taking some time off here pretty soon, to catch my breath some, and get ready for the holidays.  I need to do some regrouping & reorganizing, and clean my art room.  I will let you know when I do that.

I've also got some custom orders to do.  All these products will be added to the site when finished. 
Letter/Card Holder - With a Spring Design - Jamie Mills Price
Primitive Scale - With a Ginger Design. - Terrye French
Snowglobe - With A Winter Scene - Jamie Mills Price

NEW PRODUCTS ON THE WAY!

Hello Everyone!, Hope you all had a Happy Thanksgiving!  We had Thanksgiving at our house this year.  Just a few of us.  My daughter & I had alot of fun sharing the cooking.  Hard to believe that it only takes a few minutes to eat dinner, when you spend days preparing the meal.  I know I'm really late in posting, sorry about that.  Sometimes daily duties & the job take you away for a bit.  It's been a little busy around here.  I've been getting ready for the Christmas Bazarre I will be attending this weekend, Friday & Saturday, at the Eagles Club in Port Orchard, WA.  I will have my computer with me, so you can still contact me by email or phone for any questions you may have.  Everything is pretty much boxed up and ready to go, just finishing up last minute details.  I will be adding more new items to the store soon.  I have several custom orders right now, and will be working on those as well.  I will keep you posted as to when they will be added.  Have a great week everyone! ~Jody~
