Maple Sugaring Season Is Here & Shoppe Updates

Good afternoon everyone. It is such a blustery and cold day here today, all day the wind has been whistling and howling through the stove pipe . I've spent the afternoon nice and cozy inside creating while Mark, Michael and Gary have spent the day tapping trees and setting up gathering tanks....Sugaring Season has begun! I was going to be a good wife and bring them hot coffee laced with Bailey's ..they are probably wondering why I haven't as this is something I always do.....but they are too far off in the woods and I need to finish this post...get my newsletter sent and start dinner...so...they will have to go without this year! I'm sure they'll give me a hard time over being to busy for them and tell me that if Kurt was out there with them..I would have been out there three times already with Hot Chocolate! That is true..but he's my son so you can all understand that I am sure!:) Speaking of my sweet Kurt..he is feeling better and the swelling is starting to go down a bit.

Now on to my online shoppe updates; Due to the fact that it completely escaped my mind that February was a short month and that we've had a bit of craziness here..I've only got one item available on each site..These two lovelies in the sneak peek below will be available on The Humble Arts & Simply Primitives tomorrow.
Available on my website tomorrow is a set I've been wanting to make for a while now. I love how it came out! Here's a little sneak peek!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Have a great night everyone, I'm off to start dinner...chicken fajitas and pasta salad.......stay warm!

Doreen,
Tiss abit blustery now isn't it! Those boys best not give you any grief! The way you always bring them all their favorite hot meals while they are in the sugar house.And after all our boy has been through he can have all the hot chocolate and pampering he wants.I do wish he would have come home at least for a few days.He is far from out of the woods until the swelling goes down and he has his strenght back.Darn those independent kids . I cannot wait to see the new offerings . Can't I just have a peak.Mom

Hi Doreen, your sneak Peaks are such a tease girlie! They do look cute from what we can see though.

I have to go read about Curt now....I haven't been on much this past week.

Sugaring sounds like a very cold job for sure. Now do you make the syprup or send it off to someone else?

Karen

Doreen said...

You are so right MOM...but you know them..they love to give me grief.

I worry so much about Kurt...I wonder when calling three times a day is going to get old????

:)

Doreen said...

Hi Karen...Good to see you..I've not been on much myself this week...it's been a little crazy.

We have a sugar house and boil and make our own syrup..It's amazing!!

Thank you for reading about Kurt below and leaving your well wishes..I truly appreciate it.

Hugs,
D

Hi Doreen, February seemed to end too quickly, didn't it? I just peeked at your offerings! Very sweet!
Glad to hear Kurt is feeling better.
