Let's make some Carrots! Cut a long 'v' shape out of double muslin. Sew them up and stuff them leaving about a 2" header. Make a running stitch around the top of where you stuffed the carrot....Gather, pull it tight, and tie it off.  In half inch (or less) increments, clip the top of the carrot and strip down to the gathering string.Pull off the 'extra' strings and base coat in an orange

Only for you would I do this! I made this just last month. I'd been designing it since last summer and finally had the time to put it together. I'm like that. I have to THINK about something first before I make it and sometimes that THINKING process takes a while! You can go HERE to view some others that I made, too.(The photo opening is for a 4x6 photo) I'm offering one for you in this Giveaway.

Good morning Friends!It is foggy and warm here in my neck o' the woods!I was able to enjoy the sunshine yesterday with my saws and sanders. While outside talking to my neighbor who also does woodwork (furniture), we heard the familiar cackle of my favorite bird.  I was SO very excited to see him sitting low enough to get a picture with my zoom on my camera. I have been waiting for this majestic

There's a real Cave Creek,not far from our home in the Daniel Boone National Forest. There are also lots of caves around here. It seemed to fit nicely. How long have you been in business?

It is...my last Valentine's Day craft. I cut these from cotton fabricsand then painted them with somemod podge to stiffen them. I gluedthem onto a dowel that I painted green then glued them into floral foamand covered it with floral moss. I painted the terra cotta pot with red acrylic paint and stenciled white hearts around the top edge of the pot. I added a homemade "I love U" tag that I hand

This is my life right now........it's not dandruff that's got me scratchin' my old noggin. Fact is, we just don't know what's going to happen this year. Nothing terrible to report but there might be changes to our lives and I emphasize MIGHT! You see, I've been married to my man long enough to realize NOT to PLAN anything.

Can you imagine?It's bad enough that there was no room in the "Inn" but to not have access to the Stable?Well, now.......I'm changing the story just slightly to better suit my own inadequacies. Let me explain.I bought a pattern from Tawny over at the PRIMITIVE NOOK.Hers is quite a bit more primitive than mine but you have to remember this 'Primsy thing' I've got going on. See? The color thing

WARNING: This post is heavily loaded with pictures! I meant to get this posted sooner, however, life (meaning my children!), get in the way sometimes! We're dealing with a nasty case of strep that won't leave a certain little girl alone. Next step will be the removal of tonsils....I think I'll let the doctor do it since my skills are mostly with the saws and sanders!! Cross your fingers for me

I couldn't resist making some more of these guys. I'd already sewn them up and had put them away until next year when I realized that WINTER has yet to come! I named this guy 'Buttons'!This guy has a Stove Pipe hat like the other one but a few inches longer!

She's very primitive in her artistry...I'm not but I'm making it work with something I call "PRIMSY". Yeh, I like THAT word. Primsy is Primitive + Whimsy! My kind of artistry!!This is from her Grungy Turkey Ornies pattern.I enlarged the pattern by 50% and added a bit more

I was just having SOOOOO much fun and looking at SOOOOO many pretty things that I forgot the dang thing was hanging around my neck!!McIntosh 1890's Festival was great but seriously lacking many of the 'usual' vendors. You can always tell when the economy is down by attending these large events and seeing many empty spaces that are not a 'norm'. I was able to meet Sandy

I'm working on something a bit different for my next Giveaway. Something I haven't offered before. I sat down with my material and sewing supplies and had somebody follow me. This little one is ALWAYS following mama around and being SO nosy!I seem to be able to motivate her as she soon starts to copy me in some form or another.I grew up in a home that had nothing more than some notebook paper and

Remember when we did the Pin Keeps?Well, I searched on the internet, Etsy to be specific, and looked around for some Pin Keep patterns. I came across many but one pattern stood out. Why? Well, because it was so whimsical!! Isn't that my middle name?!! I got this pattern from hallornothing on Etsy. I can't share it with you as that would violate copyright law but I can GIVE you one!

Busy is good. Keeps one out of trouble and, for me, that means out of the chocolate!!I've lots to do these next few weeks. I usually take July off to work on my oils but I'll be smack in the middle of July by the time I get these orders and other items finished.  I have patterns layed out and drawn up; even some new ones that I added. Can you recognize the season? Of course you see Halloween!

I put my paintbrushes down this week. I've traded them in for wiping fevered brows. It's not my favorite pastime but sometimes a neccessity.The kids are on the mend; no strep just viral infections that will soon pass only to be replaced by something else. Yes, that's my pessimism coming out!Here's what I've been working on....Garlands that need last minute details before they're all put together
