All this and time at the Cottage

 

 I have been real busy lately. Betty and I have our artisan shop up and running again after a three year waiting period. We were unable to find a suitable location for the past few years after our lease agreement expired on our previous location and the owners sold it.  Betty and I have lots of our own creations for sale at the shop as well as having twenty other artisans who have placed their items for consignment at the shop. We have 2 artists who paint, 2 photographers, stained glass, fused glass, lots of knit, crocheted and sewn items as well as jewellery. I spend 2 or 3 days a week working at the shop and use that time to create new items.

July's Block of the Month from Quilt Doodle Designs

 

I have completed the July portion of the Mystery quilt that was designed by Cindy at Quilt Doodle Designs. It is a row of ste

aming mugs. I love hot drinks. They just seem so comforting and are a great way to warm up when there is a chill in the air.. They are so much more enjoyable when they are shared with a friend or family member, especially if there is laughter. I think that these hot steamy mugs would look on a table topper too. What do you think?
