Burlap Wreath

A couple of weeks ago, I made this burlap wreath.  I saw some on pinterest.  I finally finished it today by putting a black & silver bow on it.  The wreath is really easy and fun to make.

WHY WOULD WE EVER FORGET

 

For many years, my husband and I have driven past the grounds where this impressive statue stands.  It is on the way to one of our favorite antique malls in Emmitsburg, MD.  You can't see this from the road, and the facilities are taken care of by FEMA.  Firefighters are trained there.  So we made a U-Turn and entered the street and were greeted by armed guards.  They took our drivers licenses and kept them while we were given a map and told how to go back to see the statue as well as all of the names imprinted in the bricks that you have to walk on to get to the site.  We were told "DO NOT GO ANYWHERE ELSE".  You can best believe we followed their instructions.  We had no idea this place was so secure.  When you see this unbelievably large beautiful statue, you can't help but feel overcome with emotions remembering that day.  I can't put it into words.  It was a very moving experience.  How and WHY would we ever forget that horrific day?  How can we forget how our world was changed?  I can't imagine how many lives have been changed forever because of these acts of terrorism.  I'll bet there are too many for statisticians to count.

Wishing you and yours a Safe and HAPPY 4th of JULY!

New Updates for June on the pfattmarketplace.com 
Today is June 10 and the site will update at 1:00 eastern time, 10:00 pacific time. Life's about change, so they say and I've changed my so-called studio location 2 times now and have finally figured out what will work best for me at our new house.  Yep, I've been driving the guys crazy asking them to move desks for me!  But now that we're settled in, its nice to feel like I can get back to somewhat of a routine in my doll making.  Hope you'll click on over to see more pictures of Uncle Sam and Liberty Angel. Who knows, maybe I can get back to listing on EBay this month!  ~Debbie

Happy Spring!  Oh and it was a loooong winter here in Northern Virginia!  We've had snow in April and now we're having record breaking heat in the upper 80's!  Did I ever mention that we relocated back to Northern Virginia?  We bought a house near the Bull Run Mountains which happens to be 1/2 the drive for my dear husband to work.  It feels good to be back in this area.  We moved in the middle of February after renting in our old neighborhood for 6 months.

Now that we're in here, I've been trying to get set up to paint and sew.  I'm almost there, but still running up and down the stairs to hunt for supplies as I need them.  I was able to put a little something on pfattmarketplace.com last month and some more detailed projects this month.  Hope you'll check out the site this month and enjoy your April. ~Debbie

And another Santa for Ebay

Finally got this guy done and listed on Ebay.  Hope you'll take a peek! 

I would also like to take this time to wish all of you a very Happy and Safe Thanksgiving! ~ Debbie

This Americana Santa is on Ebay right now.  I have had a very late start making my Santas this year, but every chance I get, I'm sewing & painting!  I'm afraid time is moving faster than I can.  ~Debbie
