Tuesday's Thoughts

Here's a shout out to visit my website www.janaeking.com - I've added some fun products to purchase including pencil pouches and ring pin cushions. Great for gifts...

My daughter started Orchestra today and needed a violin - we found the best place to get one...Henry Strobels www.henrystrobel.com in Aumsville, Oregon. He has a little shop out of his home. It was the best price in town, he and his son are so knowledgeable, and I love supporting a home-grown business.

Why am I dressed for Halloween Already?

Extreme Home Makeover was in Salem, Oregon (my hometown) building a new building for our city's deaf school and redoing the Haunted House that was currently being used as a fund raiser for the school. So on the night of the unveiling of the Haunted House they said anyone who came in a costume could be an extra for the taping of the show. I arrived at the set at 6:15pm and at 9:15pm Ty Pennington had just come out to start taping. An organizer of the show then told us that we could possibly be there all night taping because they were a little behind schedule. So I made a tough desicion to go home rather than be up all night. I'm pretty sure I could have stuck in there, but I didn't think my daughter could - she was pretty tired. But I did get my picture in our local paper so that was fun.

Pencil Pouches

I have had so much fun making these pencil pouches for my girls and their friends...

They're made with faux leather and grommets to be used in a binder.

I am selling them for $12 which includes (US) postage. Please visit my website http://www.janaeking.com/ to order one.

This is a super easy Sue Spargo pillow pattern - made out of wool for my sister's birthday.
