A nice warm day!

It was a nice warm day yesterday.  I cleared off my desk!  That will make work easier.  I also walked 3 miles and tried the pressure cooker.  I did pork bbq ribs. They turned out very, very good!

 Got the pressure cooker from QVC.

 They look good!

 They tasted good too!

I have to call and make an appointment for my car, it has a recall, that sounds fun. I will be making a kielbasa and cabbage soup in the pressure cooker today as well. I will let you know how that turns out.  Sounds good!  I didn't get to yard work, try to today and wash my car.  Need to get a good coat of wax for the winter.  And guess what happened to my progress on my latest image I am placing on products???  I dropped my post it note cube on my mouse and it made the browser back up to the previous screen and I lost everything!!  I am started again and almost done, and being very careful!!!!

Today's showcase...

Bee Tees by String_Theory
Create a unique t shirts design at Zazzle

I love bees!!! They were buzzing like mad today getting whatever nectar they could from the remaining flowers around. I just wish they didn't like stinging me so much, really the hornets. The bees seem to leave me alone. They are sweet!

Back to normal???

I started to get my own area caught up.  My desk is full of paperwork and I started going through that, started fall cleaning and after putting away my son's laundry I need to go through all his clothes.  I think he grew two sizes the past month! I also am working on putting my last design on more products. Then, a biggie, I sent out my resume for a job posting I found. That is exciting as well.  I have been on some interviews the past few months but as you noticed I didn't mention them because I didn't get the jobs.

Today is supposed to be beautiful.  I have some plants to remove for the winter, zucchinis need to go.  I want to get a walk in today.  I think better after a walk.  I hopefully will see my desk by the end of the day!  Also get the products posted I am working on uploaded to Zazzle. Oh, we got a pressure cooker and I am going to try and do pork ribs tonight.  I will let you know how that works.  We saw it on QVC and they got us hooked!  I am excited, supposed to be fast and delicious!

Today's sale showcase is...

Vintage Vulcan Safety Match Label T-shirts by Kinder_Kleider
Create t-shirt at zazzle.com.

A T Shirt! I like this vintage match label as well. I haven't sold a Tee in quite some time. This is nice with the cat and dog. Need to go through my vintage labels and get some more on!

The painting is done!

OMG! We finished the siding!  Our main goal is done.  We have the siding and trim painted!  We still have the foundation but that is a one day thing so it wasn't included in our goal.

This was the last section to do besides remove the planks and ladders.

Flashing painted and looks nice!

Now the new shingles are painted!

Looks so pretty!

Much better without the planks and the debris cleaned up!

Now we have to get the yard back to normal since we neglected some areas while painting!  We are so happy and it looks so good!

Today I have a sale that is one of my favorites...

Spectacles 2 Inch Square Magnet by Kinder_Kleider
Create custom refrigerator magnets at Zazzle

I am lost without my glasses/contacts. I don't know what I would do without them. Really couldn't see my hand in front of my face!!! I do like this simple design.  I have sold it on many different products.

Rainy but fun weekend!

Friday I took my son to the fair, we had a wonderful time.  The weather stayed nice.  We saw farm animals, a baby kangaroo, elephants, we rode a camel and tons of rides!  We even came home with a fish.

Friday we have almost all the house done.  We couldn't finish over the weekend because of the rain but today we will.  I already baked a cake for the celebration tonight!

 The left side is done, two coats over the replacement siding!

 Painting the flashing so it blends into the house.  More pictures tomorrow of it finished.

You can see how nice the corner looks finished and how nice and bright the windows are now!

I still am selling nicely.  This is one I haven't seen sell in awhile...

Vintage Two Crows Match Label Postcard by Kinder_Kleider
Make postcards from photos online at zazzle.com

Another nice vintage match label. We have lots of crows here. Three were in our birdbath the other day. Thought the whole thing would topple over, they were huge!

Rained yesterday.

No work on the house yesterday with the rain so I caught up on errands and chores. Today I only work a half day on the house, if it is dry, and then I have some food prep for a big block party tomorrow and I am taking my son to the local fair tonight as well.  It will be a busy day and a fun night! There are supposed to be elephants there so my son is thrilled. I will be taking pictures!

I can't believe and I am so happy that sales have been coming in everyday this month.  It is so wonderful to see. I know I haven't had much time for new items but that will change soon since the house is so close to being done!  Today I have a familiar design to show...

Fox Sleigh Ride Vintage Print by Kinder_Kleider

I have a feeling we will be sleigh riding very soon! Don't think I would use a log though. The weather experts are predicting a colder and snowier winter with El Nino. It should be interesting. Have a wonderful weekend, enjoy the warm temps in the Northeast. Fall is just around the corner!

Was a hot, hot day again yesterday.

We were hoping to be on the final stretch by today but the heat was unbearable yesterday and today is supposed to be a washout so we will just have to wait.  We did get some things done.

 The new vent looks so nice, wouldn't believe it used to be an old rectangle window with screening tacked on!

 This is the progress we made yesterday.  The other side of the front is now re-shingled, primed and I did get one coat of brown on the front side.  The flashing will be painted brown at the end so all will match.

 Not much more to go up the side it is just a tight space so hard to work in.

This is the most dangerous area on the roof, the edge of the roof line.  We have bumped our heads on that thing a million times!

Today's showcase is something different...

Sunset Philippine Match Company, LTD Label Poster by Kinder_Kleider

This sold last year sometime so I am happy to see it sell again. A nice vintage match label.  Tropical look for a tropical day!

It said 100 degrees on the thermometer yesterday!

Okay there was sun on the thermometer but it did say 100 degrees and it felt like it too.  We really only were able to work till 11:00 am.  It was so incredibly hot on the roof.  I am sure it was well above 100 up there.  We did get progress done!  The vent is uncovered and molding was installed around it.  The windows have their final coat of paint and I primed and painted one side of new shingles, even though not finished yet, looks good.  Hot again today.  We were hoping to be done by Thursday afternoon, that is tomorrow!  We'll see what we can accomplish today!

There has been a big sale going on at Zazzle so I have been making many sales!  Today I have a Halloween print...
