Farmhouse weekend and Christmas gift!!

This weekend my BF Shelia and I went to our farmhouse in WV. I have been wanting to show off my Christmas gift from my hubby. It was a two sided wash tub set for the farmhouse. I was so excited. I wanted one of these so bad for our upstairs bathroom to store towels and wash cloths in. So what do you think???

  Awhile ago Marie , from http://primitivesbyoldeladymorgan.blogspot.com/  and I had a swap, don't you just love my candle display on the beautiful candle mat that she gave me!!!

New quilt given to me by my mom!!!

From Family Heirloom Weavers...

Old wood cookstove and enamel table...

breadbox and toaster cover....

Old Sign collection....

 We relaxed, ate, read, laughed and she helped me carry the tubs upstairs to the bathroom!!!! A much needed time of relaxation for us both!!

New items!!!

I just wanted to post real quick some items that I had made for a friend and sent them to her.
 I made some longer bonnets and a school slate, I was real proud of how they turned out. Hope

she enjoys them!

New Doll

I have been wanting this doll for along time. A local girl Tanja Black made her for me. She is an angel doll.

Don't you just love the little prairie dolls in her pocket. I love this doll!

Bag holder doll and candle mat!

I have been really busy with working and helping with grandbabies, not much me time.

 But I was able to make this bag holder doll, my first and finish a candle mat. I feel like my bag

holder doll could be a little more prim, but is alright. The pattern I used was from Sandy

http://oldecountrycupboard.blogspot.com/   Sandy was having a giveaway awhile back and

everyone that entered her giveaway was able to pick one of her patterns of their choice.

So we all ended up being winners.

This is the pattern I picked. Sandy is an awesome crafter!!! Thanks Sandy!!! I did a few things different, I

made the apron different and added a ditty bag.
