Here it is Sat. and I have been doing a jumble of all kinds of things. First off I added 3 new items to Lemon Poppy Seeds. Monday is the 15th so new items were required. I added 2 Halloween Witches and 2 Americana dolls. Then I put a couple new things on ebay. Best of all, I have wanted to get my ME page back on ebay, so I just finished that. Not to sure if I am happy with it all, but it will have to do for the time being. Some days my mind works in a creative way and some days it doesn't. Today was a doesn't,hehehe.

This week I got 3 patterns sent off to Brenda, she turns them into PDF for me. Hopefully I will get them back by Tuesday and get them listed on my website and Pattern Mart.

I joined a new group this week, can not for the life of me think of the name. Will have to get back to you on that one. Not to sure about it, don't seem to have many primitive folks on there. Maybe that is a good thing.

Well, I have gotten back on ebay this week also. Not doing to well there. I just don't seem to get the traffic that you would think that I should. Geez, I have been selling on there since 2003. But my following just don't seem to be buying. Of coarse everyone has tighted their belts these days. But others seem to be getting bids. Sure wish I knew what you all wanted.

Just checked on my kitty, Shadow. He would rather bake out on the screen porch, than be inside in the cool air conditioning. Boy not me, I really hate the heat of the summer anymore.

OK, best get back to work. It is already 4PM. Hugs to anyone that reads this, Susan

GOOD BYE MAY Hello JUNE

Hard to believe that Spring is no longer. Here it is Summer already. Here in Florida we are into the 90 degrees and will be for the next 5 months. Isn't that a Joy full thought. Once again I am stuck inside with the house all closed up and Air Conditioning running full force.$ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ Wow! ! I am seeing dollar signs already. I really need to give April and May credit. Unusually so, we had 2 beautiful months this Spring. So I am very thankful for that much.

I have already been making Santa's and their patterns. Now I have switched over to some Fall items. Today I am painting a couple of my Jack-O-Lin dolls, Smaller pumpkin head dolls and a couple of black dolls. I set up a table outside to dry them on. Do not want to turn the oven on and waste my air.

Check out Pattern Mart and my website (www.catsinthebarn.com). You will find a few new patterns in both places.

OK, back to work now. Will talk later.........Hugs, Susan
