Here is my latest project. I've seen them other places on the internet and looked at the patterns but as usual, I found something about each one that I wanted to tweak. So I decided to just come up with my own. It works up quickly and in one piece. I'm also a left-y so I frequently have to adjust patterns to accomodate that, although I think this pattern could be made by a right-y too. Here's a few pics of the progress. See if you can figure it out.....

Have you guessed yet?

Ok, I'll tell you....it's a non-disposable, reusable cover for your disposable sweeper dusters and mops (can't say the name - trademark rules, but you know the ones I'm talking about)

Here's the finished product...

Here's where you guys come in. 

I need your help deciding what to do with it. 

• 
  
  Do I make and sell the product? 
• 
  
  Do I just sell the pattern? 
• 
  
  Or do I do both? 

Leave your comments and help me decide.

Just for fun, here are a few pics of some necklaces in

myCrossRoads shop. As always, if you see anything you like, contact me to find out how to purchase them.

Ok, so this isn't a necklace...it's a bracelet made from seashells a friend gathered in Florida.

More grape cluster necklaces

Have a GREAT day and don't forget to leave a comment and help me out of my dilema!

More new stuff!

Spring has sprung and summer will soon follow. In honor of the new season...here's some new stuff that will soon be available on my Etsy site (http://www.atouchofheaven.etsy.com) and at my shop at The CrossRoads Farm and Craft Market which opens May 1

These are great for facial scrubbies, washing baby, or even washing dishes. They're 100% cotton. Some of the sets include a 7 inch washcloth and most include a soap saver bag for all those pesky end pieces of soap that you usually end of throwing away. Collect a few in the bag and suds away!

And take a look at these beauties......

Keep checking back, you never know what you'll find!

Just ask

I had some "free" time at CrossRoads last night so here are some pictures...

the outdoor decorations my husband (recovering from a BAD cold)  so selflessly helped me set up:

the GIANT burning log...yes, there really is a log there.....

it's like a big, wood chimney...really impressive to watch

My shop all decked out....

New hats....

Hats are also available at http://www.atouchofheaven.etsy.com/

CrossRoads is open every Sat. until the Sat. before Christmas.  Come and see me!  Right now

I'm running a special for November on floral arrangements including Christmas wreaths!

If you come see me and say " I read your blog", I'll add an additional 10% off the November special !

Now for a more serious topic:

Please pray for all the family and friends affected by the recent tragedy at Fort Hood. Our family is thanking God that our daughter was not on post that day.  Last year, at this time, she would have been. This year, she was nearby at a local school, shook up, but safe. Ironically, our son-in-law was 'safe' in Iraq rather than on post where he undoubtably would have been had he been home.  God ways are curious and mysterious and sometimes we don't understand why things happen as they do.  I don't believe God ever does a bad thing, I believe He allows bad things to happen.  He isn't a puppet master, pulling strings and controlling every thing.  Would we really want that?  Would we really want a God that gives us no opportunity to make our own choices? But thankfully, if we ask Him, He will help guide us to make the right choices, He will forgive us when we make the wrong ones, and He will turn our bad choices into good results, if we ask.   Just ask.

Amen

My shop at The CrossRoads Farm and Craft Market

In my last post I showed you some of my children's novelty hats that I sell on my Etsy store and at my shop at the CrossRoads Market.  I thought you might like to see what my shop looks like this year, so, here's a few pictures. Thanks to my wonderful daughter and her fancy smancy camera for such great pics.......

Some of my baby sweaters and baby ponchos:

Here's a shot of one of my door displays.  My Mom does all the painting....

Here's the other door, along with a vintage ironing board painted with a lighthouse (lighthouses are BIG around here 'cause we have the first ever gas powered lighthouse. )

This is my jewelry case,  Makes my shop look official doesn't it?

Some more of my Mom's paintings....she paints on anything.....hide your children....not really

Meet Penelope.  She stands guard over things.

......hat display....it's really a plant stand.....could you tell?.....never mind, it works !

last one......my new "thing"...handstamped leather...great frustration reliever!

Had enough?  I have more.......maybe later.

Have a great day!  "This is the day that the Lord has made, we will rejoice and be glad in it" Psalm 118:24

What a great verse.  Try saying it with the emphasis on a different word each time...gives you a different perspective......-   - Mary
