Been very busy here at the Ickes homestead. Easter is right around the corner so I thought I'd offer a OOAK prim wool felted rabbit along with his egg tree. Archie is all handmade by my dear friend Kathy. Every rabbit she makes is done with love. He is so realistic and will look fantastic all year long. My egg tree is all primmed and ready to go along with Archie. He's even helping me decorate it! Hope you enjoyed my little gathering.<br />
Have a wonderful day friends.<br />

Today I worked on salt dough pantry cakes. I threw in a few other things and boy do they smell yummy. Look how pretty they look displayed. Now I wish I had a stove board to put them on!<br />
I've got mine in bowls sitting on the counter in the kitchen and I can smell them as I go by. YUMMY!<br />

Here's another bunch of eggs done in different colors. You can choose a mix or specify a color and I will do my best. If you want all blues the tones and shades will vary cause they are OOAK. Same goes for reds, yellows, browns.<br />

Just got home from taking Luke to the dr. to find out its just viral. But while we were out I just HAD to stop at the prim store and look around. Well, needless to say I am home now and want to redo everything!!! So I am now in the process of moving my faux electric fireplace into the diningroom! Not sure how its gonna look and I gotta get it moved before dear hubby gets home cause if I don't like it...it will have to go back like nothing ever happened. You know what I mean. Well, wish me luck and stay tuned for some new displays. Still have our tree up till Sunday for Russian Christmas...I'm part Russian so I try to keep it up till the 7th. That and I was hoping for some snow!<br />
Have a great day friends!<br />

Yep I'm a December baby some 40something years ago!!! I won't tell you how many cause quite frankly I quit keeping track after 40. Oh and the 40's have not been good to me physically either but thats a whole other story. I am thankful and blessed to have so many wonderful family members and friends wishing me a Happy Birthday! So yeah!!!Happy Birthday to me. Now let me show you what hubby got for me. I think he got tired of me bugging him for the past umpteen years about it.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-lqvYYt8r04k/TvDzeDCwAKI/AAAAAAAABYE/0D1rO4YxuSg/s1600/101_4242.jpg" imageanchor="1" style=""><img border="0" height="300" width="400" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-lqvYYt8r04k/TvDzeDCwAKI/AAAAAAAABYE/0D1rO4YxuSg/s400/101_4242.jpg" /></a></div>The latest Cricut!!! I can't wait to try it out!!!<br />
I also had to get myself alittle something from a friend of mine, Brenda. I've been collecting her Santa's for years and this year I requested one dressed in green. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-0grYkZTrSME/TvD0BUotZFI/AAAAAAAABYQ/M5PLkTFng7k/s1600/101_4234.jpg" imageanchor="1" style=""><img border="0" height="400" width="300" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-0grYkZTrSME/TvD0BUotZFI/AAAAAAAABYQ/M5PLkTFng7k/s400/101_4234.jpg" /></a></div>Isn't he divine looking?

It reads The Ickes Homestead...and if you are wondering what an Ickes is....thats my last name! I am having so much fun with these. I've done Merry Christmas, Santa Claus, Comfort & Joy and am starting on some new ones for Spring and everyday. If interested in any...just shoot me and email:-)<br />
The tree in this picture used to be covered with glittered fruit, but after some surgery this is what it looks like now. Oh and it smells wonderful. Lots of cinnamon and cloves covering this lucky lil guy. Very prim indeed.<br />

I'm thinking I might have a hiatil hernia, but still have more tests to follow up with. This has been very scary for me when I go into not being able to breath. Seems my esophagus is going into spasms and not allowing air to pass. Not sure what I have in store for me...so please keep me in your prayers. Whils I've been stuck inside the house these past few weeks I've been doing alittle crafting.<br />

It seems my asthma is flaring up because I have a very bad acid reflux. Had no idea these are conneected in anyway. Well, dummy me has been sleeping in the chair in the LR and get up at midnight for a snack...PB & J...yep. As soon as I finish the hacking starts the shortness of breath the whole scenario plays out. So needless to say I have some major eating habits to change. He put me on meds for the reflux and still have more tests to run, but we are pretty sure that this is what has been making me so sick. Now the hard part...no more chocolate, caffeine, pizza, sauces.....and the list goes on and on. Oh and GARLIC! I LOVE GARLIC! I'm hoping that tomorrow morning finds me feeling alittle more normal (hubby dares to disagree)he would...he has this too! My other insentive is that I will lose that baby weight I put on 15 years ago!!!!! LOL....<br />
Thank you all for your prayers and thoughts...as I am not out of the woods yet. We are hoping so major damage has been done to my esophagus.<br />
<br />
Now on too a lighter note....been stuck in the house with this for the past 3 weeks that I've tweaked and tweeked so more. Let me know what ya think.....<br />

Well, this morning gave me quite a scare. Got up with hubby at 5 and immediately went into a serious attack. I was gasping for air that I thought I was going to die. Art held me for 15 minutes until I could get some air to use my inhaler. <br />
Not sure why this is so bad. I do have lots of allergies to dusts and cats so that could be it. I haven't had any breathing problems for almost 2 years and now I have it soooo...bad.<br />
I have a Doctors appt. later this morning so I'm hoping he can do something for me.<br />
Please just say alittle prayer that I don't have anything majorly wrong and that my lungs will be functioning properly soon.<br />
Thanks friends.<br />

So I can officially say my job is done at least till hubby can help do the floor and crown molding. Yeah, the ugly green carpet is still here but it is ready to be gone...just not sure when. Hubby will have to redo the floors and I don't think he is looking forward to sanding and sealing. Same with the crown molding more staining. I want it stained to match the window trim he made. And now for the big reveal.....<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-vsbv9GsCMs0/Tijc464MLAI/AAAAAAAABKI/Lkyghuecgmg/s1600/101_3745.jpg" imageanchor="1" style=""><img border="0" height="300" width="400" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-vsbv9GsCMs0/Tijc464MLAI/AAAAAAAABKI/Lkyghuecgmg/s400/101_3745.jpg" /></a></div>This is on the top of my computer stand.<br />

Well, creative me fixed it! I cut a piece of black scrapbook paper and taped it on the back and voila! Now I can't see the wall between the boards anymore! And to think I was going to get rid of this lovely piece...sure am glad I didn't!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-TiKhVmSxmW0/TijijKgUaSI/AAAAAAAABKw/gmrFJwFkbrI/s1600/101_3791.jpg" imageanchor="1" style=""><img border="0" height="400" width="300" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-TiKhVmSxmW0/TijijKgUaSI/AAAAAAAABKw/gmrFJwFkbrI/s400/101_3791.jpg" /></a></div>Prints came from ebay...don't remember who made them.

I enjoy listening to them play while I'm on the computer. And it doesn't look half bad. I found some old hymn books that I have displayed on it when they aren't using it! LOL...<br />

I really want to get rid of the closet but like hubby says where would you put all the stuff! True..true but the room would be bigger and I could bring my spinning wheel down from the bedroom and it would give me a whole other wall to decorate...and.....well you know how that went.NOT!!!<br />

Fell in love with the fabric which I never would have seen myself liking this before but somehow my tastes have changed, evolved don't know exactly what happened.<br />
So I hope you enjoyed taking a look at what I've been up to.<br />
Have a wonderful week friends and stay cool. I'm stuck in the house with my asthma so I gotta find ways to keep busy. Now I'm working on the Livingroom...so stayed tuned.<br />

I hate when that happens.<br />

Here's a sneak peek at what I've been up to. Yes another project at the Ickes homestead. The Diningroom which used to be a bedroom when we first moved in some 19 years ago. I fell in love with this fabric and made curtains out of it.<br />

This is what I discovered under the carpet. Love it! The carpeting will be coming up soon, but hubby wants to do crown molding so I'm not arguing with him. Then the floor will have to be refinished. Can not wait!<br />

My paint color I chose is Valspar...Woodrow Wilson Putty. Got rid of the ugly green. If you don't remember it. Take a look at my previous post. <br />

Hope everyone enjoyed the little sneak peek. I still have lots to do. Trying to decide if I want to move the fireplace into the Diningroom for awhile. Son thinks I'm nuts and hubby just seems to go with the flow anymore. He knows how I am after all these years. Afterall, my home is my canvas and I love making small changes that don't cost an arm and a leg, but do somehow always involve hubby's help...LOL!<br />
<br />
I'm hoping tomorrow I will put some things on the walls for another peek.<br />
Stay tuned.<br />

Last weekend was community yard sale days here in Avis and boy was I busy. I had my yard sale friday and saturday cause they are so much work. Well let me say I am thrilled with all that I got rid off. Feels great to purge. I had so much stuff too. Lots of prim goodies went and made others happy and me happy too.<br />
<br />
Mom is visiting for 2 weeks so she has been cracking the whip and making me clean. Feels good to get help and get a new perspective on things that I have. We've been cleaning rearranging and purging some more! I'll show you those pictures towards the end of my post.<br />
I joined in on Misi's Summer Swap and here are my summer swap goodies that I received from Amy at Bumblebeelanecottage. What a sweetheart! She sent me and awesome box which I am hiding my envelopes in. Some yummy smelling tarts. A George Washington beeswax ornie and some cute little lemons...so summery.(Is that even a word)? You'll see them in another photo. Thanks so much Amy! And prayers for you and your Dad during this tough time (((HUGS))).<br />

Got another surprise giftie this week from Rhonda...kattywhompus. What a sweetiepie. I sent her a PIF gift and she gifted me back! Prim friends have such big hearts. Rhonda sent me one of her beautiful stars. It made it way under my new Patriotic tree that my Momma bought me at the thrift store. Now I know I just had a yard sale but I got rid of so much that alittle something had to come home with me! LOL...<br />

I am now the mom of a 9th grader and a 5th grader! Where did all the time go? I'm not ready for Luke to be in high school and for this coming year to be Izzy's last year in Elementary school. Seems like yesterday when we brought them home from the hospital. Now Luke is way taller than me and almost as big as Art. Izzy will pass me up soon too...I'm only 5ft. Today it really hit me that time doesn't stand still for anyone...cherish each day with your child and enjoy your summer.<br />

My dad passed away last year July 12th and we had a Military service for him. When I see the flag raised my heart feels heavy and tears begin to fall. I miss him dearly. Mom proudly displaces the flag she was given along with his Army picture. Thank you Dad and all those who served and are still serving our great country.<br />
MAY GOD BLESS AMERICA!<br />

The sun was shining most of the day and I even got to wear my sunglasses for the first in awhile. The yard is still a swampy mess and I have doggy footprints all through the kitchen to enhance the comfy feel of my home. Oh well, this too shall pass and the sun will shine and the air conditioner will have to be turned on. I'm actually enjoying these cooler spring temps. I really don't like the heat. <br />
<br />
I snapped a few pictures of some flowers in my yard. Izzy and I planted Morning glories in memory of my Dad...and they are blooming this year. I remember these growing on the side of the porch at the old homestead. So now I have my own to share with my Dad...hope they make him smile.<a href="http://family.webshots.com/photo/2504193370104511172SIYOJK"><img src="http://inlinethumb26.webshots.com/48793/2504193370104511172S425x425Q85.jpg" alt="101_3570"></a><br />
<br />
My friend Janet had these at her old home and I went and "stole" some from Becky so I will always have some with me. Sorry Janet I can't remember the name of them, its on the tip of my tongue, but I love them.<br />
<a href="http://family.webshots.com/photo/2742007490104511172AYUvyk"><img src="http://inlinethumb37.webshots.com/48356/2742007490104511172S425x425Q85.jpg" alt="101_3573"></a><br />
<br />
These lil' lovelies are growing everywhere with all the rain. Thought they deserved to get their picture taken.<br />

<br />
Did alittle tweaking today during the rain and this is what I came up with for my hutch. It used to hold all my Rowe pottery but it needed a change. <a href="http://family.webshots.com/photo/2091306510104511172uCkEsC"><img src="http://inlinethumb58.webshots.com/46393/2091306510104511172S425x425Q85.jpg" alt="101_3580"></a><br />
The photo on the top is my parents wedding picture. The photo on the bottom shelf is Art's gramdparents in NYC. Some of my other goodies are from dear friends...Jen Gass made the stitchery pillows and they smell of lavendar. The pewter plate was a gift from my fellow coworker in crime, AKA Hollykins. She got herself the matching one. How appropriate for us both since we are both teachers. Some of the other goodies are thrift store finds, you all know how much I love thrifting!!! Nothing like the thrill of the hunt. Holly seems to think I have a problem...LOL NOT ME~<br />

Did alittle tweaking in this corner...added the beehive that I picked up yesterday to my lil' bear. Got the stitchery as a PIF gift. Isn't it the cutest.<br />

I did get some things done.<br />
Found this chair for "FREE" on the way home so I stopped and grabbed it and threw it in the van. My son was embarressed but not me!<br />

Got this basket at the Thrift store last week for .50 Robyn sent me the cute Abe pillow (Thanks so much)<br />
<br />
And look at these lovelies! Wish there was scratch and sniff on blogger. These awesome fruits came from Misi. They look so real and smell yummo!<br />

Reframed the print and added the artichoke...from Misi also got the lil' bowl from Robyn...don't they look so great together?<br />

Put these portraits up in the bedroom where I had the bowl rack. This looks so much more simpler.<br />

Saved the best for last. This was my surprise Mother's day gift! And boy was I surprised! This belonged to a friend of mine who passed away from cancer 2 years ago. RIP Ruth. I always loved it and never expected to get it. Art and the kids each carried a piece of the flax wheel into the house after church. Needless to say I bawled! It is now proudly on display in our bedroom until I can find room for it downstairs. Wow!! I was speechless and anyone who knows me that doesn't happen often!<br />
<br />
Hope everyone has a wonderful week. I only have 7 more days of preschool and another year is over. Where does the time go?<br />
Hugs and blessings<br />

Well this is the end..Misi's last request for her Scavenger Hunt was to find furbabies or flowers. I chose to do furbabies for mine!<br />
<a href="http://good-times.webshots.com/photo/2463973650104511172bVPtAW"><img src="http://inlinethumb55.webshots.com/48630/2463973650104511172S425x425Q85.jpg" alt="101_2568"></a><br />
This is my sweet baby girl, Sable. She is an Alaskan Malamute and a big baby. She follows me everywhere.<br />
<br />
My other furbabies are not your typical furbabies, but none the less they are part of the family.<br />

This is my teddybear hamster, Snickers. He came home with me one day while at our local petstore cause I had to have him!!!!<br />
<br />

And these two boys are the gerbils, Chippie and Digger. This is why I was at the petstore to buy food for them. And ended up coming home withe hamsters!!!<br />
<br />
Hubby says no more pets and he's right. These little guys are more work than the dog.<br />
Hope everyone has a wonderful blessed week.<br />
Hugs ♥T<br />
