What a wonderful Basket!

I received the most beautiful basket from Ann 1803 Ohio Farm Baskets .  We

decided to do our own swap and I received this beautiful basket from Ann.

Now I own three of her awesome baskets. I haven't quite decided where to put it,

But I wanted to share some photo's of the basket, I  also love the beautiful label

that is attached to the front. Thank you Ann for making me this wonderful Basket!!!

I love it!!!!

How did I get my blogging name?

 Karen from "My Colonial Home" has a challenge for us bloggers, she wants to know when we started

blogging and how we got our blogger name.  I didn't realize it but I started blogging May 2008. It sure

doesn't seem that long. When I started blogging I did it for my love of prims and to make some

new friendships. Well I have made so many wonderful friends, more than I would have ever imagined.

I didn't do any crafts at the time, and now I just trying all sorts of things, and want to learn even more.

I got my name "Old Farmhouse Prims", because my husband and I bought an old farmhouse in WV

to remodel. We have had it probably 8 years. Most of my pictures on my blog are of the Farmhouse,

we are still deciding if we are going to move there one day, for now we can't leave our kids and

grandkids.

  I wanted to share a Prairie doll that I made this weekend. I also met a wonderful lady on facebook

who is an artist. Joyce Reed, she lives in Chincoteaque, Va. . Her home has been

featured in the Country Sampler Home tour edition 2011. She painted a picture of one of my

prairie dolls. I am very proud to own one of Joyce's paintings.

  When fall is in the air I want to make apple pies, pumpkin pies and homemade vegetable soup.

Today I made a pumpkin pie. I used the sweetener stevia that is mixed with sugar. It tastes wonderful

I can't believe that there is an artifical sweetener in the pie. It is partly eaten or I would show a picture. he he

Scarecrow Doll

I wanted to show my first ever scarecrow doll that I  made. I used a Bittersweetfolkart pattern. For the

body,  clothes, facial features and scarecrow hat I used my own design.

He is approx. 25" tall, he can sit or hang. I am asking $42.95 plus traveling fee.

He is right cute I think. He has a funnel hat, a rusty square nail for his nose. He is holding a burlap

bag with a gourd. He has a Bemis feedsack emblem on his shirt.

More Bonnets!!!

Whoo have I been sewing up a storm, I am trying to get stocked up on my bonnets, since

school has started again. All of my bonnets are $20.99 plus traveling fee, contact me if interested.

Lecia  Many of my fabrics are one of a kind, a few I do have extra fabric for others.

This style of bonnet is approx. 26" long, it is inspired by a "Drakestone Primitive" pattern,
which I made longer and changed the ties.

This syle of bonnet, I used a pattern by "Pilgrims and Pioneers", Just love both of these bonnets, this one is approx. 25" long.

Decorating for Fall

I have been doing a little decorating for fall, thought I would share some pictures.

I have also added some items to my selling blog if you would like to check that out.

I love fall, love the beautiful colors the crisp fall nights, hayrides, pumpkins, apples,

apple cider, mum, the beautiful leaves, scarecrows, candy corn, I could just go on and on.

 Many of my wonderful blogger friends have helped to decorate my house, and some of the

things I made myself. I think of each one of you when I look at your wonderful creations!

New Pumpkin Guy

I made my first pumpkin doll, for this fall. " BurLee," I used an Olde Homestead Barn pattern,

just love the burlap. He is 22" tall, asking $38.99 plus traveling fee if interested, "Farmhouse Prims"

   I have also been tweaking my kitchen cabinets, I love the black, but I was wondering if it was too

much black, I was thinking of getting new handles for my doors, but just can't afford them right now.

A sweet lady on FB told me about a tutorial she had read about on a blog (wish I knew the name

so I could give the person credit), where you wrap the handles with jute, I thought what have I got

to loose, if I don't like the jute, I can always take it off. It really added something to the cabinets I think.

  Then above my sink I have 2 shelves to display things, I thought what can I do there, I made a

curtain out of a flour sack, I hung it above the shelf  with jute, it looks adorable I think,

thought I would share some photos.
