Swap Goodies!

My friend Tammy, http://ncprimitivesfromthepast.blogspot.com/  and I did a swap and did I receive some awesome goodies.
 Tammy and I first met on FB, she was my first swap partner ever. She is my inspiration for crafting.
She would email me and help me with different things. She is so giving and always thinking of others.
 She is actually the one who got me into making bonnets, she would give me pointers and encouragement, thank you Tammy. I really hope to meet Tammy one day.

Look at this awesome Prairie Rabbit doll!

 We do a couple swaps each year and I want to show off my goodies. Check out Tammy's blog.

Awesome swap!

I did a swap with Cindy at http://cynthialeedesigns.blogspot.com/

She gave me a wonderful old rolling pin with the most awesome sleeve cover that she designed,

she put "farmhouse" on it for me. Cindy does awesome work, she makes jewelry and all sorts of things,

Check out her blog. Thank you Cindy from the bottom of my heart for swapping with me. I love my rolling

pin!!!

Farmhouse Collection!

  I found some wonderful prim fabric for making my bonnets. The fabrics are the same fabric that is found in

the quilt pattern, called "StarDance", these fabrics are tea dyed and look like fabrics of olden days.

 I love these bonnets, I call them my "farmhouse collection".  Email me if interested. The 21" ones are $18.00

plus shipping and the 23"-26" ones are $20.00 plus shipping .

A beautiful bonnet!!

I love prairie bonnets, I enjoy making them and when I buy new fabric, I just can't wait to see the end results.

 You might say I am obsessed. He He

 But I do get tired of the things that I make and love to have things made by someone else.

 I did a bonnet swap with Teresa of  http://teresasprimtreasures.blogspot.com//

her bonnets are wonderful. Check out her blog, she makes all kinds of great prims, dolls, penny rug items,

and lots more. Thanks for swapping Teresa, it was so much fun!!!

Surprise in the mail!!!

Yesterday, I was surprised to open my mailbox and find that there was a package for me.

 I wasn't expecting anything so I was definately suprised. It was from a great blogging friend, Linda of http://parkersparadise.blogspot.com/

 Linda is such a sweetie and makes awesome things, she sent me some of her wonderful prim eggs, I was going around the house and found the perfect wire basket to put them in, they look great. Thank-you Linda, you made my day!!!!

Some things I have made.

I really had a nice couple days off and was doing some crafting. It seems like I stay so busy with working, so I stepped out of my comfort zone and made something besides bonnets. I made an Easter candle mat,

and a table runner. I love how the table runner turned out, I actually got the tutorial from  Julie, it was an older post. http://julie-countrygirlatheart.blogspot.com/  Thank you Julie for sharing this.

If you notice on my table there is a bunny display made by Becky,    http://primitivesnstitchin.blogspot.com/

and the lamp display from Sheila,   http://seasonsofthyheart.blogspot.com/

Julie, Becky and Sheila are so talented, you need to check out their blogs.

 Easter Egg Candle Mat

Bonnets I have been working on.

I was so excited to have a couple days off, my BF and I were going to Lancaster, Pa. It didn't work out, so we have postponed it until another time, so I decided to do some sewing. Yes bonnets again, I know everyone must be getting tired of them. I just get so excited when I get some new fabric, I can't wait to see the end result. They are alike but different, each time I make one that one  is my new favorite. He He

  I have also started working on another slate and candle mat. But guess what came in the mail today, more fabric. He He  And I am getting close to 200 followers, I am thinking about what to have for a giveaway prize. So keep watching.
