SEPTEMBER SALE COMING SUNDAY....

APPLES ON TICKING & GINGERBOY ON TICKING...here are just 2 items that will be on sale starting on Sunday September 1st.  EVERYTHING in my Etsy Store will be 20% off for the duration of the Sale.  It's the first time I've participated in a sale of this kind.  I'm gearing up for it this week.  Not sure what to expect.  In the mean time I'm taking care of puppies, and dreaming up Holiday Designs.  The weather here is wonderfully cool so I'll be making split pea soup in my Ninja Foodi.  Plus cheesy biscuits in the Foodi.  Did I mention I'm like an 8 year old with an easy bake oven experimenting with my Foodi?  It bakes, pressure cooks, slow cooks, sauté.s, etc.  Keep on Punchin.

FATHER CHRISTMAS

FATHER CHRISTMAS...here's the 2019 Santa!  He joins my collection of 8 or 9 privious patterns.  I need to look up the story of Father Christmas bringing oranges and include it with the pattern.  Hope to have this pattern posted in my Etsy store on monday.

  Most of my energy is focused on getting my studio ready for this event!  October seems a good way aways, but to me it's tomorrow!  Keep those orders coming please, and keep on punchin.

2 SNOWMEN ON WOOL

Good morning Blog Buddies...I have No idea where the time goes.  I'm working everyday and there are not enough hours for me to get everything done...  Enjoying a little cooler weather and happily filling orders.  Plus I'm getting the baking bug... I don't know about you, but apple cakes and apple pies are calling my name.  Apples on Ticking are on my drawing board.  Made some peach ginger jam in my Ninja Foodi...can scones be far behind?  Not to worry the 2019 Santa is finished and waiting to be photographed.  Time to pay attention to the dogs who are chewing on my slippers (the ones I'm wearing)  Keep on punching.
