Finishes

Ive got a few new finishes to share, but I wanted to post Liberty 1st.





Ive tried and tried to get the perfect picture of her because the ones I have dont show the detail and all of the shading. The more light I let in the more it drowned her out. The less light I let in made her nose flourescent and she is not by any means. She is absolutely beautiful!!! She was made from a Crow About Primitives patterns, I just changed her up a little bit. When I was looking through my stash of fabric for her dress I decided to make her an americana gal!

I just love her!!!!


A few others to share.......

A Sweetpeas Primitive pattern


A Bird In the Hand Primitives pattern



All available by custom order:)


I just ordered 5 new patterns this morning to stop back by in about a week for new offerings!

Prim, Vintage & Whimsy all n one!

Hey Blog Buds!!!!

I woke up to a chilly 49 this morning! WOW! Almost had to turn on the heat. I suppose it wont be too much longer eh?!


Ive been so busy I dont know if Im coming or going this week!
Im trying to pound out as much Fall as I can by tomorrow so I can start on Christmas.

Next week I will be decorating my booth with vines, bittersweet and cornstalks AND Im taking a 2 week break from crafting. I gotta give my fingers a rest, I have a permanent whole in my index finger from my needle slipping, haha!!!

Anyhow, here are a few things I finished up this week.

This girl has all the looks.....prim, vintage and a bit of whimsy:)





I wasnt sure if I wanted to make these guys until I saw how cute Pams came out:)



More cat dolls



Have a great weekend

*NEW* Fall Prims

Justa real quick post to show what Ive been working on!

I was excepted to sell at Canal Country Artisans, in Medina NY and we take over the booth tomorrow. It was a juror process which I sweated bullets waiting to hear if I was excepted or not for 9 days! OMG - Im SO nervous!!! This is a really BIG primitive shop, ALOT of traffic in there! Im worried my prims arent good enough! I have "caftersnervousnessbutterfliesinmytummy" syndrome!

In any event, heres a few new things Ive got ready to go...




This is my very first round head with stitched on eyelids and painted eyes!
I think I did a pretty good job:)









Patterns courtesy, moonchilds primitives, blue moon beginnings and tennessee ridge primitives!

And this guy is my own pattern that I made up! He is HUGE!




Ive got a ton more in the works, just need to find a 48 hour day!

Wish me luck:)

Swap Goodies and some makeovers

Wow, cant believe its been over a week since I last posted!

Ive been busy sewing every so often, I got so burnt out back in May that I just have no drive to make anything. I do have a bunch of dolls and ornies cut out waiting on me and I finished up 2 fallish dolls today.

First let me show ya what Beth sent me! What a SWEETIE she is......
Her and I had a swap and this is what she sent! I just LOVE her room sprays, the scent actually lasts a long time and when I spray on my couch and throws you can smell the wonderful goodness for days! Kindle grabbed the bottle of monkey farts from me right quick but what an awesome scent!



Thanks so much Beth, I love all of my goodies, we are SO doing this again:)

Ive also been trying to complete a million painting re-dos. You would not believe the amount of wooden things I have piled up in the garage, some half painted, some painted waiting on briwax and some just waiting for something.....

Remember this shelf and little pipe box thingy (sorry, not sure of the name)



Here are the afters...




Remember this tool carrier?



Here is the after...




And a few dolls Ive finished up....

My very first round head doll, took me a few times to get it right:)





I hope everyone is enjoying their summer? I SO can NOT wait for fall, although our weather is VERY fall like with temps not reaching much higher than 75 on a daily basis, no complaints here really unless its too chilly to go outside, then Ima complain'n!!

2 New Dolls

Good Monday Morning!

Today is Domonics 3rd birthday! I can NOT believe my baby is 3 years old already.
Where does the time go? I tell him every night before bed, not to grow up, stay small and stay home with mommy forever! He agrees, and says I stay small mama!

He LOVES frogs and toads, so Saturday hes going to have his big green frog birthday cake that I'm going to attempt to create! When we're outside, he will carry around a toad ALL day, until it dies, or until it "hopped away", haha!!!

Whats going on with this weather? I don't know about you but its COLD here in NY! I'm serious, last week I had the heat on ALL WEEK! Saturday was nice so we were able to get outside and get some much needed garden work done. I split up 3 HUGE hostas and ended up with 11 smaller plants that went on the side of the workshop. That's alot!!!

Also have been busy getting ready for my Carnivals 4 A Cause show in 2 weeks.
This is my 1st show so I'm a little worried about things selling! When this is over Im taking a few weeks off to spend some time with the kids and then Ill be starting on Fall and Christmas for 2 shows in late Aug!

This 1st doll is a rag stuffed stump doll from Simple Thyme Primitives.
She will be available by custom order on YRP late today, if you're interested shoot me an email.



This other doll is from Vivian Fuller.
She will also be a custom order on YRP late today.






Well.....my coffee is screaming for me, have a great week!

New doll on Yankee Ridge Prims

I just finished this sweetie up, although she doesnt look very happy does she? Haha!!!

Ill be listing her on Yankee Ridge Primitives in just a few minutes.

She is a OOAK (as I will not be making another like her) with the americana theme.
Holding her very worn out grungy star!

She is signed and dated!



I have TON of pictures to post and a TON to talk about, maybe by THIS WEEKEND, I promise!!!!!

Uncle Sam Pledge Doll

Just wanted to quick post and show ya what I just finished!

He is a Kim Kohler design, I just love love love her patterns!








His beard isn't really that white.
I think the contrast with my wall color and Uncle Sam being so dark is why!
Ill be listing him on my selling blog later this evening.


HAVE A GREAT EASTER!
