What a busy Whatcha Working On Wednesday.
From the time we got up until dinner tonight it was a constant!
I had Doug helping all he could too - what a guy…so supportive I tell ya.
While I did some sewing he put some of our bagged products in celo bags and put the bag toppers on and stuffed some more pocket hangings and then started the second tree in a box.

Close up of box (this is the smaller of the other one we did last week.
Oh and I got my shipment of fresh preserved Sweet Annie….OMGosh does it smell wonderful. There was a time I didn’t like the smell of it but it has really grown on me. Anyway I ordered it from Hammelman’s in OR….I got 10 bunches of it - the more you ordered the lower the price.
I’m using some of it in my hanging pockets and seed bags w/candles.
This afternoon I took some grungy cheesecloth that I purchased on Monday and hung them over the tops of my valances just to see if I would like the effect and actually liked what I did - never intended to keep the white ones up but Doug even thought it looked rather Primitive so we'll leave them there till after the home show.
Love it ALL! Have a great night.. Justina

ReplyDeleteI get the sweet annie from the same source -it's wonderful!! I was the same way with it's smell originally - all I could think of was Vicks Vaporub!! LOL Now I like it.
I'd love you to stop by and check out my gingerbread tree if you have a chance in between setting up and all the other million details you must have to do, and let me know what you think of it.
Thanks so much!

ReplyDeleteGosh, you all have been busy! I've never smelled Sweet Annie either, but I want some, and like Lea said, I'd like to grow some too!
It sounds like you have a gem of a husband to help you like he does! You two make a great team!

Goodness!!! Everything looks so warm & cozy. You really have that touch for placing treasures.
ReplyDeleteDon't you just love that... there Sweet Annie. We raised some for the first year this thyme... Wonderful!!! Next year I plan on raising a field full... You can order your seed on ebay, for little of nothing if you are interested...
