Last Minute Primmin'

Well... the move is less than 2 weeks away. But before i could get my work room packed up i had to finish up some dollies for my mother in law's shop, since she opens for the spring next month... if weather cooperates. They are doing a bunch of remodeling, painting floors and things, but it's been tooooo cold for everything to dry. Anyway... i thought i'd share some pics of what i'm putting in the shop for when she opens.

These first ones are from a Sweet Meadows Farm pattern.... Maureen has the best patterns!!


Then these sweeties are from my own pattern. I'm hoping... if all goes as planned... to have these up on my site after the move..... and soon have a pattern available for them too!


Well, i'm off to start packing up my work room.... have a blessed rest of the week!!

Crazy Days

Here I sit watching my crazy boys unwind from their dump truck races down the hallway... the smell of baking cinnamon coated muslin and paint fills the air **cough cough**... all I can think is, I love this time! They are quiet... and oh so cute.... I'm having a productive morning..... what can be better? Soon my 5yo will be on the afternoon bus to school.... and my 2yo will be sleeping!! That's when Momma can really be productive!! If I don't sit here too long lol!
Later I will have some "girl time". A friend is coming to visit.... and get her hair colored. She is getting married in July... so there will be much talk of dresses, flowers, veils, old, new, borrowed, and BLUE (which is my favorite color... just in case you were wondering). Aside from the fact that i will not be seeing hubby till late (he's taking college courses tues and thurs nights)... this will be a good day.

Here's a peek at what i'v been working on. These two are on ebay right now..... awaiting a new home. If you would like to take a better look just click on the pics.
God Bless you today!!!

Second in Collection... St. Patrick's Doll

Well, i have finished the second doll in my "Bit of Vintage Whimsy" collection. She has been inspired by this vintage Ellen Clapsaddle Postcard...

She is my first St Patrick's doll.... i think ever. I guess i just have been so focused over the years on Valentine's Day and Easter that i forget about St Patrick's Day until it's too late. She is currently on ebay.... if you would like to see her full listing you can click on the photo.... and there are alot more photos in there to check out.

First Collection!

I am sooooo excited!!! Thanks to some of my wonderful prim sisters i have decided to start a collection of dolls. I have no idea how many will be in this series.... but i do know it will be fun creating all of them! The theme of my collection is "A Bit of Vintage Whimsy". I will be taking vintage images from old postcards, greeting cards and things as my inspiration.

My first doll in the series is a pretty make do doll, inspired by a vintage Valentine postcard from artist Ellen Clapsaddle. I am working on another doll right now from another Ellen Clapsaddle postcard.... can't wait to see how she comes out!

Christmas Preparations

Well, there's only one week to go.... and i'm going crazy lol! I just wanted to share a few things that i'v got going on right now. Here's a pic of a really prim angel doll that i made for my SIL for Christmas. She loves the dolls that i have brought in to sell in the shop, and her room is decorated with a mix of prims, angels, and sunflowers. So i thought this would be a nice mix.
I just LOVE the way it came out!! I'm thinking i'll be making some Valentine theme angels like this for my site starting the beginning of the year.


Oh!!! You have to check out these cuuuuute little kitty ornies! I just bought 5 of them from Naomi of naomisnotions on ebay! They are just the cutest little things. I have them tucked into my Christmas tree and garland right now, but they will be staying out year round for sure! Thank you Naomi!!!
