Happy New Year!!!

Well time is running out for old Father Time of 2012.  I want to wish everyone a very Happy New Year!!

May the year 2013 bring us all happiness  and prosperity.

1 Day and counting

Ah yes there is one day before Santa comes in form the cold here in Frederick.  Santa will find that we have some mighty good cookies here for him.  We will have a glass of Eggnog for him too!  I have been very slow in baking cookies this year, but I worked on them today and made Candy Cane and oatmeal cho. chip cookies and a Snow Flake cake.

The Nanny Goat Crafts Store closed down tonight in that it will be Christmas Eve tomarrow and I have never been open on that day for over 13 years.  It became a tradition to not be open on Christmas Eve while my Mom and Dad were ill. After that I kept it in honnor of them.  I love Christmas and try and have the giving spirit all year thru.

Please have a wonderful, fun filled family Holiday!!

Merry Christmas everyone!!!!!

Santa's very busy.

Santa has been very busy this year. He has been walking in downtown Frederick. Getting lunch at a few of the restaurants.  Now he is headed back up the the North pole.  He has only one more week to finish all the things that the Elves have been working on.  Mrs Santa is also busy.  She has been wrapping up a storm of gifts for all the good little boys and girls.  She has also been baking sugar cookies and gingerbread houses and making hot cocoa for the elves.  When Santa gets back up there  everyone will be in high gear to finish all the work. The sleigh and the reindeer will be fed and readied for that BIG NIGHT!  Then Santa will be here so fast that we will be not able to see him. Like a blink of the eye he will have been in our house and left the gifts under the tree. Then he will be gone like a snow flake blown in the wind.

So put the stockings up and ready the tree for Santa will soon be here everybody.

Christmas wishes

Christmas is the right word for this time of year.  It is because it is the birthday of the Dear Christ child.  We who are not afraid to say "Merry Christmas" say it with love in our hearts for Him.  I for one will continue to say that every time someone comes in the store or leaves.   So from little old "Nanny Goat" me  to all of you

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Santa has been seen shopping

Now that  Tom Turkey has been here and he is now happy to have won the race. We now can   start working off that feast by putting up the tree and the lights inside  and outside of the house.  Santa is sad he didn't make it to be in front in November. But, he still has his own date here in December.  The tree is up and ready. I have been working on some new stockings for the blue jeans wearers in the family.  Then there is the cross stitched napkins, bread cloths and of course the towels.  Aprons and many other goodies are here in the store.  First night will be this coming Saturday the 1 st of December.  I have already seem some elves and I think I saw Santa at the  local WalMart.  He was looking at the trees and shaking his head.  I think Santa loves a real tree! But we now can start working up those lists and the wrapping of said goodies.
I have a few cookies to bake and a few dog treats to make too.  All of which can be bought in the Nanny Goat Crafts store on 2nd Street in down town Frederick.   Happy Shopping you have 29 days to go.

Tis the season to be Thankful!!

Yes, Tom has won and he is very thankful that everyone has remembered to have Thanksgiving before Santa.

I have had this store open on Sundays during Holidays for the past 26 years.  Each year I have found that I am truly thankful to all the wonderful people who come and visit, revisit or just fond us. Each person that comes in has always giving me something in return.  Some give me a smile, a grin, a story or just the shear pleasure of coming in and seeing what I have to offer.  They also give me ideas for new things to have for next year or something I can do for them now. I love each visit and it gives me great joy to see what my things can give each of them.  So I say I have many friends and I am given many gifts of joy each and every day here at Nanny Goat Crafts.  I am truly thankful to all who have come in and spent some time here.


HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL!!!

Tom Turkey is Pulling out into first place!

Yes indeed, Tom is leading over Santa.  I have been going out to the stores looking for the Thanksgiving joy and have found it in a bountifully way.  Turkeys in frozen and fresh, whole and breasts. Even some turkey legs! But sad to say, like most things, the cost has gone up.   I for one love a turkey roll both white and dark meats. I found gravy and stuffing mixes as well as cranberry in many forms. All that are great for the dinners to come.  I also found pumpkin in breads, cookies, muffins, cakes and of course the famous Pumpkin pie!!
This all sounds so wonder full and filling but, we must wait till next week  to find out how Mom or Gram mom will fix our Tom Turkey dinner.

Did I just hear someone say they could not wait??

Looks like Snow in the fabric room.

I have found this great fabric that looks like a geometric snow storm.  It is blue, white, green and red.  The flakes are the true dimensional block type of flakes.   Some are the red and some are the green.  I have looked around and found the top cuff of this stockings that I am making for Christmas Eve. It has the same green and red and blue shades. So they really look great together. Can't wait to start on them this coming week.  I sew on Mondays and can get a lot of things finished in one day. Wonder if I can do all 4?

I have been still knitting the pumpkin caps for everyone that wants one. I have a few baby caps in the shop on 2nd Street.  I have sold all the white pumpkin caps that I started this year.  People like them so they might be back for the next year.  But right now I am knitting the red, white, and green yarns. They are in caps and mitts and scarfs and neck choker warmers.  I have been making some ornaments for the tree and also some catnip toys for the cats in this yarn.  I may say that the toys are visible at night on the floor so there isn't any stepping on surprises.  Also I have been working on some dog things for toys and clothes.

As for the race of who will win on the first holiday rating I see Santa coming up behind Tom Turkey fast.  Looks like Santa might just gain on old Tom.  But one never knows.  Tom is full of surprises!

The race is on.

With the pumpkins all cut and looking really sad Halloween is now just a memory. All but the candy and the Jack-o-lanterns.  We can see that the race is on for the next Holiday.  Tom is out in front but Santa is not too far behind.

Tom Turkey is really the next Holiday.  And with some of the pumpkins being looked at for pies, breads and cookies  that is a good thing.  The nuts and the acorn squash are now in the pantry. The temps are getting cooler and the firewood is up to the porch. I hope the fireplaces have been cleaned and made ready.  The apples are gathered into the makings for cider, sauce and pies.   There is a thought of snow flakes to come on Weds. day the 7th or Thurs. day the 8th. More and more things are out for the Thanksgiving day feast.

Tablecloths and napkins that match. The turkey platter washed and sitting on the dinning room table with all the fine china, crystal, and the silver.  All waiting that very important day of thanks.

But in the shadows, there is the now evidents of a very large figure. He is here way before his time. But with the reasons only the adults know he is here so that they can be ready for him to come into each home.  There are the trees out there already for Christmas and this man in a red suit to tuck gifts under the trees.

So who do you think will be here first??

Funny post Tom Turkey

Ok now I am not one for falling on the floor laughing too often. But I saw this sign in a window That I would love to tell you all about.

Tom Turkey is holding a sign up in front of Santa.  On the sign it said: " Oh not yet my friend!!"  
And I agree with Tom. The Holidays are rushed this time of year.  I still might be old fashioned but I think that one Holiday should wait for the others to come and then go, before the stores have the products up for sale for the next.

Yes in my time we saw the Halloween things come in in late September and be gone by the week after the 31st. With all sales on items starting the day or 2 before that day.  Then on November 1st you would see the Thanksgiving goodies come into the stores.  You sure would not see Santa in the area till after that turkey was cooked and a good memory in our tummy.

 Santa would arrive by sleigh on TV  on Thanksgiving Day. By that time he was welcomed. Then you would go to the stores and WOW how they had changed inside!  The ohs and ahs would be heard and that is when you could feel Christmas coming up fast.

Things have progressed I would say. But  I think that it makes it so hard for children to believe in both Santa and the Miracle that happened with the birth of Christ.  Yes the churches do a great job of making us aware of the birth of Christ during this time. But things have moved so fast now that some of the magic of Christmas has lessen.  Kids get told all too quick that Santa isn't real and they have gotten a flurry of the Christ child and then it seems like it is all gone. What has happened to the magic??

 Why are we so eager to push all the fun and magic out of our Holidays??  I would say it is because we are in a hurry. All our lives we hurry up and never get there. Or maybe we do. Just when we find it that is when we look back and see we lost the fun and the happiness somewhere along the way.  So, don't be in such a hurry slow down and enjoy the fun you use to have with the children now.  Remember back when you were younger and there was magic and fun in the Holidays.  So be like Tom Turkey, tell the Holidays to slow down and then enjoy them. Each and everyone!

Your costume is a what?? Hurricane Sandi !

Here it is Halloween  week and who should arrive, The wicked witch of the ocean: Sandi!

Yep, this is the Hurricane unlike any other that this weather people has ever seen.  But for some strange reason it reminds me of the one called Agnes of the 1972 version. What ever her name it is going to be a wet one for All hollows Eve. Rain, Strong winds and Flooding is not what I would say is a nice way to have celebrate a fun Holiday.  Who wants to be huddled up in the house using candles to see with or the fireplace to cook with. Not me.  But if the weather men are right, we will need flashlights, candles, powder generators and goodness lets not for got the water in bottles.  I would much rather be out walking around with weird makeup on my face and odd clothes on my body getting candy form the houses with lights on in my own neighborhood. That would be more fun!!!  But no fooling around my dear friends and everyone please get your house ready for this one it could be very bad around here. I pray we all will be safe and sound after Sandi leaves us alone.  Please take care everyone!!!

Problem solved!

As it turns out the question of, should I knit white pumpkin caps for the family, has been solved.
Most of you want the pumpkin  or orange colored ones.  So I have a great supply started. But with it being October now I would say you should get that order in for them.

Also I have a great Halloween shirt for you all.  It comes in a large size cotton tee shirt. Has a crew neck and short sleeves.  This shirt maybe machine washed in cool water and regular soap.  Then hang to dry.  With a warm iron for the touch ups.  To buy this shirt go to my web    NannyGoatCrafts.etsy.com  and order it from
there.  Don't you just love Halloween?

Poll: Orange or White?

Ok all you fans of Nanny Goat Crafts, I need some help!

I have been knitting the pumpkin caps in the regular color of orange with some verity of stems and leaves.
But now I am thinking of knitting them in a different color.   I am thinking of white with green leaves and tan or brown stem.

As you know the stores have the regular colored pumpkins as well as the illuminates, white pumpkin.  I need to hear from any and all fans of my caps.  Would you all want and wear the white caps?????


So to answer me please say yeah or nah in an email to rebbiesmom@yahoo.com   I wait your thoughts.

That great Fall time.

School is in and the weather has started the Fall temps.  I am glad for this time of the year. I find that  with the cooler temps most of us feel a lot better.

There are things to do each weekend that has to do with fun times right in our home town.  The Great Frederick Fair is in town this week. There are rides and farm animals to go see.  Great food tents and these vendors are local churches and groups that we all know.  The Fair has been going Strong for many a year. I can remember it when I was  a child as well as when I grew up to be a teen. Then when I got married and had my family I took my children to see it. I use to enter my quilts in the Fair in the Household. I won a few ribbons too. Then once my children got to be teens they went with their friends.

Fall can mean a lot of different things to different people. It is a time of changes too. We see some of those changes in the trees and the animals. There are fruits of the fields and gardens that now are in the pantry or the root cellars.  Jams and jellies and pies and preserves all lined up on the shelves. Pickles and chutneys are there too.  All kept for the Holidays and Winter eating.

Soon the Winter snows could be on the land and the roads. That is when most of us look like Eskimos with all the Winter wear on.  I can say I can wait for this to come for some time later on.  But for now, I will take the cool/warm days of our time called FALL!

Is it a hint of things to come?

     Ah, what a few beautiful few days we have had.  Sunday was breezy and cooler today was cooler, only 72.  We even had a light breeze blowing all day.  Tonight they are calling for the lows to get down to the upper 40s.  So is this a look into the future?  If so then it is time to get out a few caps and a light coat.  Or maybe even the pumpkin caps I have been knitting.  I have a new hat this year it is a apple cap.  Bright red cap with two small leaves coming out of the top of the cap.

     With the cooler weather for the next few days, we all could use a shawl or wrap.One that is knitted and
warm against the breezes that are too cool. I have a bright red prayer shawl or a raspberry colored tri cornered shawl.  Both will keep the chill off and are in the store right now.  I use my green one to sit here and write this page tonight. The air that is coming in is a bit cool and yet feels oh so good.

    Can you remember the snow that we got for the middle of the October fun? Well, that is when we really knew we might just need the shawls, caps, mitts and scarfs before the real Winter set in for a few months. I for one was glad to have the shawl, mitts and caps for Winter.  So, come on in and take a good look at the
new colors in all the cap, mitts, shawls and scarfs here at the Nanny Goat Crafts in down town Frederick,
Maryland.  I am open Tuesday thu Sunday most weeks.  Call if you would like to make sure we are open:

Happy Fall Ya'll

ABC look at me

Oh, how it has gotten so quiet this Monday.  If I say so my self, it is like the kids have all gone back to school.  Well maybe so, this is the 27th of Aug.  The time is flying fast this Summer is almost gone.

Then soon the time changes.  Then the nights will start turning cooler.  Trees will change color and the kids will take leaves to school for the teachers. Where the little ones will learn their ABC's and 1 2 3's.  Homework will become the dirty word for some children.  Others will knuckle down and be ready for the
work.

I look forward to all the changes and the Seasons.  Fall is a beautiful time of the year.  Red, Yellow and Orange trees will dress the mountainsides. The cooler temps will be a blessing for all who hate the heat of
Summer.

So for now I say "Happy Fall Ya'll! "

Summers fairwell song

The heat of the day can find most of us sitting in a chair in our front rooms with the AC on.  Then off to bed with the AC on. But, the crickets are very loud and the din of the AC can't  drum out their noise, Ah song!

As a child I would listen to them for hours while waiting for the sandman to come and make me sleepy.  They would seem to get louder as the Summer's heat stayed till Auguest's end.  Around the first days of school came I would see some of them on the sidewalk.  They were very dark and slow. Little did I know that as the Summer ended so did they.

With Summer waining and the crickets song as loud as it can be, I see that school starts around the 27th. of Auguest.  So, I guess, this is Summers fairwell.  I truely will miss that loud noise the crickets make as they say good-bye to Summer time.

Summer Fun is coming to a close.

With the children playing outside or in the next room, Mom and Dad are looking over the new year of school
needs.  Yes, the lists are out and some have already made a dent on them. School's coming fast and the end of  the Summer Fun is getting shorter.  That means that new clothes for school, new shoes, new notebooks and other items must be ready for that first day of the new school year.

We here at Nanny Goat Crafts wish all a new and wonderous school year!  But while you can enjoy the rest of the Summer.  I still have some nice Summer things here in the store.  I have started into making some things for the Fall.  There are the pumpkin caps for everyone and sweat shirts with a Fall look. Tee shirts with the Halloween pumpkin face and black cat.  Baby onesies with a touch of Fall to them are here too.
Bread cloths, table runners and napkins to match.  Washcloths to send back to school with the college group  And much more to look at and use for gifts.  

Happy Auguest to you all!!!!

Hot, hot, hot

Yes, I did say that bad 3 letter word: HOT.
We all might be upset with the heat and the burning sun, but we should not say too much about it.
Reason? Well this Winter we might wish we had some of that heat.  It is a shame that we cant bottle that heat up so we could open it and have it for the Winter's cold.

Nanny Goat and I have been trying to keep cool under the big Hunters fan we have in the shop.  I know it takes the temps down about 20 degrees.  And that is cool enough to start knitting the Fall and Winter items.

At this time I am working on the Fall Pumpkins caps for the whole family.  The orange globs have the stem and the leaves just like the real thing. They come in sizes of Baby, Teen and  Adults. The cost is $8 for each size.  Here my son helps model the Adult size.  He has been seen running for work or to catch a taxi in New York City.  they are made of acrylic yarns and form fitting to the head to keeping in the warmth.

So I do hope we have a great Fall ya all!!!

Summer is upon us

We have you covered for fun things for summer. A lite colored tee with the Pansies and Dragon flies on them is a large size. The wee ones have a juice bib with Mr. Sunshine  that is trimmed in blue and white poka dots. And for the Kidds Clothes there is a train to help you ride along.  These are just a few things that  are fun items for Summer.  I cant wait to go on a picnic!!

Look what I got you Dad, Happy Fathers Day!

I saw this at Nanny Goat Crafts in downtown Frederick Dad.  And it was just your size! Yes, it is a large Dad. And if you want to Dad you can turn it inside out and wear it as a solid color of a dark tan.  It has really neat cars on it you just might remember riding in too!








                                                                                   Then I saw this tee with a picture of George on it and
thought you would like it too! This is a size ex large blue tee and it is a great likeness of George too!  Gee Dad I just didn't know what to do  so I bought you both.  Happy Fathers Day  Daddy!!

HAPPY FATHERS DAY  to all the dads out there!  Remember Fathers Day is this Sunday June 17th.

All I want to do for Fathers Day!

Most of us will go see our Dad.  We will take something for him and we will have dinner.  Then we will take an do something with Dad.  Oh how I wish I could do that with my Dad.  My Dad passed away in 1999.  I miss him so much. I would love to make him a lemon pound cake. Then the kids and I would all pile into the truck and go to Mon and Dads house.  I would help Mom with dinner and we would gather around the table together.  Fathers Day was a relaxed day for him.  But years before he worked at the hospital.  The Doctors would take turns on call for each and every holiday. Once he was retired he would not go out to the hospital as much as he once did.  Instead he would work in the yard and do some rug hooking or he would work on his trains in the basement.  So, this year I will go visit him, but I will only give him a rose.  I miss my Dad very much and he knows I still love him so much.

Are you ready for Summer BBQ's?

Yes are you??  It is getting to be the warmer, wonderful time we all look forward to right after old man Winter gets finished with us.  We have had a few Thunderstorms and a few Gully Washers too! So I would say we are ready here in Frederick.  Summer heat has hit here just like all the states up and down the Eastern Seaboard.  I for one have had the first big glass of iced tea of the season for me.  Here in the store we are trying to get the picnic started. I have been working on a few new items that will show up in the store and then will be placed on here.  I have a new design for a cotton cap for the wee ones and  I am trying to enlarge it for anyone that might like it.  We don't want anyone to get sunburned scalp! We have some things ready and waiting for you here at the store.

These Iced Tea glasses are so sweet with the violets in blue painted on them.  There are 6 for $8.00.  Can be washed by hand because of paint.  Yes hot water won't hurt them.  They are made of strong plastic.









Here is the newer colors of hand knitted wash clothes.  These are the ones that will be useful for a lot more then just your face or body.  I have used these to wash off the dog and to wash down the BBQ grill after use.  I have use them to wash woodwork and walls.  I even use them to dust with.  They can be used on a baby  from top to wiggly toes. I have used them to wash the car too! Shown here it a Bright yellow and a ombre of turquoise, gold, pink and white. And we have a light pink too.  More colors are available just ask.

Some people need to get in touch with me so here is my email addy. If I can be of any help about Nanny Goat Crafts just ask me there:   rebbiesmom@yahoo.com   Thank you.

To All Who Answered The Call

Today is Memorial Day.  I am truely thankful to all the men and women and dogs who have answered the call to duty.  They have given thier all to thier country and flag. Some have given thier lives. Others have given parts of them selves, eyes, arms and legs.  I for one am very thankful to thoes who have. For without them this land would not be free and we would not have our freedom.  My Dad was a Dr. in 1941 and he saw much of our boys on his table.  He once told it that war is pure hell. He was a lucky one he came back.  Many did not make it back.  I this day have been up to see his grave with the bronze plack.  I have given him a new rose many times.  Today a flag should be on his grave. But that flag is flying in the cemantery I am proud of it there.

Again  one BIG  Thank you goes out to all who answered that call and the many calls that have been happening.  THANK YOU FOR MY FREEDOM ALL OF YOU!!!

April showers bring May flowers

I really can't tell you how many times my Mom use to tell us kids that when it would rain in the month of April.
But she was right.  The rain is very important this year for we are already in great need of rain here in Maryland.
We have had a red warning for fire a few times this year. The weather bug has chirped so much in the past few weeks and gave us this as the reason. So, let it rain and give us flowers and keep us safe from fire.

 And since Moms are always right we should have beautiful flowers in our green gardens next month. I know this rain will not only help the flowers grow it will also help with the moisture in the grown too.

May is not only known for flowers but for Mothers Day come in there too.  I would like to take this time to say Happy Mothers Day to all the mothers out there from me to you all.

Mothers Day is fast in coming.

Yes, you have about 3 weeks before it will be here. But, why wait till that day to get into getting her something special? I have been very busy  making some goodies for that wonderful woman. You know she has been there for you all and worked hard to keep home, work a job, carpool the children to school and other places.  Most of the time she has been chief, maid, dishwasher, food buyer, doctor, nurse, tree trimmer, gardener, lawn mower, home repairer, auto maintainer and way too many things to say.  But all in all she has been the back bone of the family.  Here are just a few things she just might like for her self:         IPhone or IPod small hand quilted over the shoulder bag.  Or maybe the tee that is sleeveless?  This is a white tee with 3 snaps on a vee opening . I have counted cross stitched beautiful flowers on the left hand side of the front.      These are just a few things that you may want to give Mom, Mother, Gram,Nana or Grandmother.
Which you can find in   www.NannyGoatCrafts.etsy.com. Please come and look!  Happy Mothers Day ladies!

We have rain!

For the past few weeks the weather news has told us to be careful of fire.
We are entering the Spring/Summer seasons with a threat of fire WOW.
It has been hot a few days here and I have been watering my flowers every
day now.  they dry up so fast.  The wind has helped a good bit too. So please
be careful with your BBQs or your camp fires we want you to come see us in one
healthy person.  Remember only you can prevent forest fires!

Time for that silly Bunny to come again.

The count down is on and all of the kids are hopping that the Easter Bunny will visit them. "Please leave us colored eggs in the yard and chocolate bunnies in our baskets in the house".  These word I remember saying when I was young.  I would think that they are still saying them now when I go and see all the candy out there.

Here at the Nanny Goat Crafts Store  I have some mighty nice gift ideas too.  There are bibs, shirts, aprons, towels, bread cloths and Onesis.  Here in these pictures are just a few ideas.  Do come and see the rest or go to NannyGoatCrafts.Etsy.com  for a better look at the many goodies we do have for you and yours.

Aaaaachoooo

I truly love Spring with all the beauty of God Grace and all His wonders of reawakeing of the earth.  But I do wish that I didn't have the allergies that I do to flowers and trees!!!   With hankies in tow I wonder the  back yard looking at all the flowers and the bushes and the grass.  But if I try to do anything out there now I will be layed up for a good week with no eyes and a run-a-way nose.  I am sure there are a few others out there that think the same way I do.  Spring would be nicer if there wasn't any pollen.

 So my dears I wish you a Happy Spring and a Happy Easter week. I hope the Easter bunny makes it to your house. And may God's beauty be in you yard too!

The first Day of Spring

Happy First Day of Spring  everyone!

The beauty of this day is that we have had some rain to wash the air clean for the Allergies. The flowers are blooming their little hearts out for all of those who don't have pollen allergies.  The temperatures are great and we all love getting out of our heavy clothes.  For the next few days we will be watching the skies for rain clouds and hopeful for the sun.  But I do think old man winter has decide to go to his bed and leave us here alone!

Hear comes that rabbit again!!

Oh my I thought I saw an Easter bunny outside!  Oh, I did I did!  That great candy giving rabbit has hoped into the NannyGoatCrafts store here and delivered some sweet goodies!  Oh, an he got to the NannyGoatCrafts.Etsy.com site too  Here are just a few goodies he left.

I hope he hopes into your house and leaves all the goodies you want this Easter. Sunday April 8, 2012  is Easter Sunday.   Happy Easter from us here at Nanny Goat Crafts!

In with the Spring and out with the Winter.

Oh today was a great temps day and I got busy with all the Winter wear.  I will wash it up and put it in the Winter wear containers for this coming Fall.  I don't have much to put away, So, I was hoping, that I could call your attention to our in the house sale.  All Fall and Winter wear will be on sale till this Saturday.  Come in to the Nanny Goat Crafts Store on East 2nd Street and see if you could find a home for one of the hats, mittens or scarfs that are here.  This would help me with what I will have in inventory to carry over till Fall.   Thank you in advance for your sales in the store.  The Nanny herself:  Trish

If it hits 80 degrees Does that mean it is Summer??

Walking to the post box I saw a few less clothes on more people.  A few had rain coats over their arms, for it did look like rain.  Then as the day went on I have noticed that the joggers were in shorts and tank tops.  I stepped to the door and opened it wide.Then set the open sign into the edge of the screen. And I walked onto the porch.  Ah what a wonderful day! The best part for me was taking off all that heavy under clothes for winter and putting on some Summer shirts.  Now I feel so much better!  And to think it is March and we are already hitting the 80's for temps.   Get out and enjoy it for the Ides of March are only 2 days away.  Oh and don't for get to wear your green on Saturday!

Ah Spring

The calendar says that it is time to think Spring.  But, old man winter is still lurking around in some places. In Va and in Southern Maryland they are having snow and it Is sticking to the ground.  Watch out Robin Red Breast, that is cold stuff!

Here in Nanny Goat Crafts we are thinking of St Patrick's Day and Easter.  There are Green goodies and Bunnies hopping around in the baskets of goodies in our store on East 2nd Street.  Bread clothes, wash cloths, hand towels, baby onesies, Kidds clothes and Jelly bean jars.  There are new things coming in to the store everyday.

I do hope you all have a great St. Patrick's Day and don't forget to wear your green!

We have a cat thief!!

Yes, the treats are a big hit with  my sons kitty buddy.

Lu Lu is my sons room mate cat and he found out that they were iin the box I sent. SO he jumped in and grab the treats and ran away with them before Mac could get them out of the box.

The lure of the cat nipchers got to this boy!  And we know that they will be calling your cats name too.

They can be gotten thru:   www. NannyGoatCrafts.Etsy.com

Cats are pleased with the new treats!

Cat Nipchers are a hit! We have the ok from a few local cats.  They think that the Cat Nipchers are Purrfectly
Delicious! I have heard that they are begging for more of these little heart shaped treats with the green flakes of the catnip.  They are here at the store in the heart shapes for Heart month. February is Heart awareness month. So we here made them in the heart shape to say not only we love you but we love your heart.

These are made with flour, raw honey, dry milk, cat nip and milk. Rolled out and cut in the heart shape and placed in oven to bake.  Then we have them in zip up bags with hearts on the bag.  These are in bakers dozens of 26 in a bag. Price is $10.00.  We will be having them on Etsy also very soon.

So come in and check out our Cat Nipchers.   See you soon!

We have a new item in the Store.

Yes we have added the dog  treats for all the dog lovers out there.  But we now have begun to make the Cat Nipckers!  These are New and cat approved crackers for cats.  They will be soon available at the downtown store.  The too, will be sold by the dozens.  We will post the make up of these on here as soon as we start having them in the store.

Since it is to soon be Valentines Day we hope to have the dog treats with white candy coated ends with Pink sprinkles on them.  So don't forget your best friend add to their Valentines Day fun too.
