Okay... sorry I have been busy "santamaking" and not blogging lately! Thought I'd give you sneak peek at one of my larger finished pieces........" The Teddy Collector".I have been in " The Little Shop of Horrors" as I affectionately call my studio, working around the clock. The place is a wreck... my poor baby Duchess needs a walk... there have been no hot meals made (not even my NoBrainers) and I'm down to my last pair of underwear (laundry has been put off for far toooo long).... Oh yeah, and a good thing that Halloween was this past week because I told everyone that I left the spiderwebs and dust bunnies ON Purpose for a "spookie effect"..... SO......bring on the elves already!!!!! I need help!
I am creating a new blog to post my Father Christmases... many have requested photos of my creations, so I thought this would be a nice way to share them..... it will come out soon.
I love forward to seeing your creations!
ReplyDeleteOh girl he is beautiful and I love Teddy Bears!!!! Can't wait to see the new blog with all your 'treasures'! And for goodness sake get a load of laundry going!!!! lol lol
ReplyDeleteBeen wondering where u r.(lol) Looking forward to seeing your creations. What talent you have. mishelle
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful! I love him...
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see your Father Christmas blog. Since I already have mine, I hope you don't make me want to order another one!! But, I can't imagine liking any of them as much as I love mine! laurie
ReplyDeleteOk, you'd better put that Santa down & go do some laundry else you're going to have to go commando. And be sure to let the little sweetie out. Seriously, the Santa is beautiful of course! Can't wait to see the new blog. I saw one in an art gallery this past weekend going for $375. I tell you that because selling just one can fund an awful lot of yard sale purchases!!! Drop a few pieces of ice on the tile and consider the floor mopped! See ya later alligator!
ReplyDeleteOh please don't make us wait long.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Chris
I am very excited to be able to look at your creations,....just can't wait for the new blog...but, I CAN wait while you get your laundry done and your sweetie a hot meal..hey, warm a weiner and have a hot dog! hee hee
ReplyDeleteThis Santa just takes my breath away...
He's gorgeous! Wow, let us know when the new blog is up!!!! Whooopppeeeee! (Do any of them look my hubby?) :0} Diane
ReplyDeleteHi, Love the Santa with Teddy Bear. How precious! I have never had one and yours are fabulous. You have a shop right? Is it online? I am a huge fan of Christmas Decor' and can't wait to see what you make.

ReplyDeleteMr. Santa is gorgeous. Girl you better go wash those panties! I hear you on the cooking thing--sometimes you just have to get delivery... I'm looking forward to your new blog. Get some rest???
ReplyDeleteMiss Janice
You can neglect blogland all you want as long as we know you are making beautiful treasures for us to see. But, I'm with the rest of them - go do a load of laundry!! Sally

ps the "twins" came through with flying colors... just have to keep going every 6 months for the next five years... Thanks
we need to move to Canada so that we can already be deep into the throes of the Christmas season. They have the right idea with getting Thanksgiving out of the way early. I think we need to change our date for Thanksgiving. I'd rather have a longer Christmas season. Who needs turkey dinner anyway? lol
ReplyDeleteOh my... did you really make that beautiful santa??? He is just gorgeous!!!! I'm lost for words!
ReplyDeleteJust so lovely!!!
Have fun making those santas..
if you're in your work-shop alone, you don't need clothes ;-) Keep up the good work! And let the rest of your family do the laundry!! hehe
Monica
Can't wait to see all your creations you have been working on! Looking good so far! ~Rhonda :)
ReplyDeleteHi...
ReplyDeleteOh my.. did you really make that santa??? I am lost for words!! He is so gorgeous!!
Keep up the good work, and let somebody help you with the laundry! ;-) (you should't have to do it all)
Monica
Hi Rose...don't know if this will help with the laundry or not, but just turn the underwear inside out & wear again...heehee! Can't wait to see your Christmas creations, but I have no doubt they'll be spectacular! ;-) Bo
ReplyDeleteOh my, what beauties these are! I'll be right over to help you play domestic catch-up provided you will let me be an apprentice Elf. What an experience it would be to be part of their creation.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to your new Father Christmas Blog. With great anticipation -Brenda-
He's gorgeous!! You are amazing!! I can't wait to see more. I've also been working on christmas stuff lately. I'm doing a christmas show here in my home town, and I think I told you I have an etsy store too. My garage is my work room. I'll be waiting on that blog! Can't wait to see more beautiful santas! Kristen
ReplyDeleteWhat a great combo Santa and teddy bears, how can you go wrong? I can't wait to see the rest....Robyn
ReplyDeleteYour Santa is amazing!! I too used to do crafts and I know exactly where you are coming from, we did not eat, we recycled dirty clothing, we had to wade thru piles of fabric, patterns, embellishments, etc. It was fun, but kind of glad those days are over. Good for you for having a studio to make your creations, that has to help alot!! If I had a few elves to spare I would send them your way!! Sue, mammawags62 RMS
ReplyDeleteSeems all the stuff you create is just gorgeous! Have fun with it. Can't wait to see pics of all of it!

Rose I can hardly wait to see your santa post girl...just know its going to be beautiful..glad you did post again as I was ready to send out a Amber alert for you girl..good luck..now go sling some mud...hugs and smiles Gloria
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see all your work. YOu are very talented.
ReplyDeleteRose, You are so sweet to ask about my fur babies. I've been a basket case. Murphy, my cocker, is 12 1/2 & has a degenerative spine disease. He had surgery a couple of years ago to release pressure on a disc & nerves. Last week he appeared to have a pinched nerve & lost control of his back legs. He was walking like a person with MS. His legs & feet couldn't do whatever his brain told them to do. We took him to his orthopedic surgeon to see if there's something that can be done. He also has a little heart murmur & his heart has lengthy pauses sometimes, so surgery probably isn't in his future. The Doctor is trying 3 wks of antibiotics & prednisone. He's walking better, so I hope this is a permanent fix. Thank you for asking about us. It means a lot... xoxoxo
ReplyDeleteI can "so relate" to this post.. I'll be looking forward to seeing your post of your wonderful creations..hugs ~lynne~
ReplyDeleteWow your Santa and Bear are just wonderful.You do beautiful work can not wait to see more.I just found your blog and I love it.Will be back to read and see more of your wonderful work often.
ReplyDeleteToo bad Santa...that best husband in the world would probably like a little commando! LOL! :O) Just teasing.
ReplyDeleteHey Rose - I know you've been busy and I can't wait to see what you've created and if you have time and want to come up for air and play, I have a little something for you at my place.
ReplyDeleteLynette
Thank you so much for visiting and your encouragment! It means alot when first getting started. ~Hope you're having a wonderful day! ~Melissa

You just made my day with that adorable Santa with his teeth showing. That is the cutest one ever. Will you have an online shop so that we can purchase some of your beautiful creations?
ReplyDeleteI just can't wait to see what you have been making...
ReplyDeleteThanks for letting me know your paint color. It looks so pretty in your photos. I am not one for much color on my walls, staying with soft cremes mostly, but I am ready for a slight change...AFTER the holidays...
love, bj
Have the elves showed up yet or are you still doing it on your own? Girl if I was closer I'd sure help all I could..as long as there was some "special" lemonade handy. lol.. I'm wondering do you do a Santa with a bunny? I'm still bragging about your Santa's... hugs girl...~lynne~
ReplyDeleteOH my goodness he is BEAUTIFUL! I just started collecting Santa's last year~~~ Hugs French
ReplyDeletePS stop by some time;)
I don't know where the squirrel ran off too! I went to edit and next thing I knew he took off. Squirrelly behaviour if you ask me. hahaha
ReplyDeleteI look forward to seeing your creations.
Hope all is wonderful in your world!
Hugs, Penny

I know how busy you must be, and I really appreciate you taking the time to visit my blog. laurie

Hi Rose...Susan sent me to your blog and I'm so glad she did! I remember all of your wonderful spaces from rms. Your "great wall of china" and your two old ladies are 2 of my favorites. I am a fledgling blogger and I have been so happy to discover so many familiar faces. I am looking forward to seeing all of your gorgeous Santas...they're putting me in the mood for Christmas! Love your blog...Debbie
ReplyDeleteCan not wait to see all you have been working on. You have to get out once in a while and see the sunshine. Turn the light off in the studio for a while.
ReplyDeleteI can't express you how beautiful I think your Santas are. You are amazing.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Chris
Did Santa get eaten by the gobbly wobbly??? It's no fun when our friends don't play with us anymore!
