Some little Halloween drums I’ve been working on. I have a little more than a dozen in the works!
The kids love playing with them. Otto has his favorite picked out from last year and I have to admit that it is probably the ugliest one I made, but im glad he loves it!
Also these little peg people! I just love them so much!

Market moved! Hope to see everyone there next weekend! 🖤

The Bossier Holiday Night Market is POSTPONED until📍Saturday, December 21, 2024 from 3:00 to 9:00pm. This decision was made due to the 90% threat of heavy rains, wind, and thunderstorms forecast for this Saturday, and for the safety of our vendors and shoppers. 😍Next Saturday looks clear and amazing and we hope to see everyone there. 

*All approved vendors have been notified via email.

My husband helped me make some trays out of the signs I make. I really love them! He did the frames and carved the handles out of poplar. The actual sign/bottom part is on pine. (You can see all the details on http://www.PaintedLadySigns.etsy.com)
It’s funny to say you love an inanimate object, but I love these! I wish I had a coffee table to put a tray on with toasty mugs of hot cocoa. But, then my kids would probably spill it all over everything, so it’s probably better that they have to drink it at the dining table!
Maybe when they move out I can do the fun things as an elderly curmudgeon. Because after number 8 turns 18 we’ll both be 58 😆😭 hopefully he’ll master his mug of cocoa in the living room before then.
I made 4 different designs, keeping one for myself! I listed the others on my Etsy page if you are so inclined to check them out.
Which one is your favorite?
Can you guess which one is mine?
