New fall items.

I haven't had alot of time for blogging lately with working both jobs and helping out with grandbabies.

Sometimes I will read a post and think I will go back later and comment, but I just don't have the time.

But I love you all and I haven't forgotten about you and love reading your posts.

 I have been working on some fall things. I finally finished up everything. I want to keep a few

things for myself  but may have a blog sale on some of my things. Just a brain storm.

  I may start on another fall penny rug.  Then I  want to make some Winter ones.

  After that I may start on Christmas things for Christmas gifts. It really isn't that far away,

especially if we make our own gifts. Have a lovely day prim friends.

New Doll

A few weeks ago I bought a new doll from Mandy, at "Bittersweet Folk Art Primitives" , I bought a fall doll,

Amelia the witch. I also have an uncle Sam doll that Mandy made me this summer.

Mandy's dolls are wonderful and addicting, I love her dolls and Mandy also sells patterns of her dolls.

Thank you Mandy for sharing your awesome talent. Check out Mandy's blog  to see what

she has to offer, you won't be disappointed.

Surprise in the mail and a special little boys Birthday!

I just love my blogging friends, I was going though a few bumps in the road awhile back, as we

all do at times. And OML Marie, "Primitives form Olde Lady Morgan" sent me a little surprise in the mail.

Marie sent me one of her pumpkins. I love it Marie and it touched my heart so much to know that

you have been thinking of me. Check out Marie's blog, she is  one awesome crafter!

 And now I want to show a few pictures of my littlest grandson "Jake Liam's" birthday celebration.

He is just soooo cute and  the sweetest little guy. Whatever I do for him he always says, "Thank-you Maw".

Jake turned 2 on August 13th. He was just so proud of his cake and toys and his cousins being here

with him.

Look at that Happy little face, he is the man of honor!!!!

my son Luke and Jake

Oh such goodies!!!

Jake and Cole

Riley, Jake and Steph, and Logan, the neighbor.

Steph, my daughter and Jake. Happy Birthday Jake!!

New Pumpkin Dolls

I have been enjoying a few days off this summer and had planned on doing some extensive house cleaning.

 But one of my friends gave me just the advice I needed to hear. Now these are words of wisdom, "she said,

I really need to clean my house, but there are things I would rather do." So I took those words to heart and

made crafts and let my extensive housework go. He He But I have enjoyed my summer.

  Here are a few more pumpkin dolls that I have made,

This is a couple set, Jack and Jill,

I used a country stitches pattern.

Pumpkin Jill

Pumpkin Jack

This is a Sweetpeas Primitive pattern, that

was in the 2010 Merchantile Gatherings Magazine.

New things that I have made!

What a process it is to making prim dolls I just finished up another candle mat and two more pumpkin dolls,

I will call them Jackie and Jillian. I have a new appreciation for doll designers. I used a sweetmeadows

farm pattern for the round doll heads, but I enlarged them. And also Jillian's dress, but the arms and legs and

bodies and Jackie's clothes I just drew myself. I sanded some areas so much that we have a few holes present

but I love that time worn look. Awhile back Pam from "Baskets n Prims" and I had a swap ,

she gave me some fabric and I used Pam's fabric to make Jackie and Jillian's clothes. Thank you Pam!

I also want to add that I recently bought some patterns from Mandy "Bittersweetfolkart Primitives"

I did the pumpkin dolls facial features similiar to her Pumpkin Jack. Check out Mandy's patterns,

she makes such awesome prims.I just recently bought one of her witches and will show her off on my blog soon.

Here they are, my first pumpkin couple

Body parts everywhere. I don't have a craft room.

don't they look better with some color added.

I mixed different colors together to get a dull orange color.

Coffee stained and hanging to dry.

My very first witches hat, I just made up the pattern, my little candy corn piece for Jillian's necklace and my first every pumpkin.

I sanded and grunged the dolls, for the time worn look.

I put so much vanilla and cinnamon on them that they sure smell yummy. He He

  Pumpkin Jillian!!!

Pumpkin Jackie! I added a tea light to the pumpkin that Jackie is holding.

My newest candle mat stitchery.

Awesome goodies in the mai!l

I was fortunate enough to be one of the lucky winners of the PAFA giveaway that they recently had.

There were so many wonderful prizes by so many wonderful artists given. I was really tickled to find out

that I had won the prize made by Brenda of The Rusty Thimble . I received the cutest Gingerbread man

and Brenda added a beautful pillow made from a beautiful vintage quilt. Please check out both of these

blogs and thank you Brenda I love everything, I have one of Brenda's rabbits and let me tell you Brenda


does awesome work and is one talented crafter.
