I'm SPRING FLING Busy!

Oh, but I've been busy! I'm not sure how I've gotten it all done....the kids have been ill and our handicapped daughter has been having health problems, too. I think I craft MORE during these times just because my sanity seems to be at stake! I figure if I'm not getting sleep I could, at least, be creative and crafty! I wanted to show you some of my new editions that I did for our SPRING FLING OFG Team Celebration going on right now! Just click on the button to your right and you can see more wonderful items from our fantastic Team members!

My Pin Keep Swap!

I entered Wendy's, Ravenwood Whimzies, Pin Keep Swap again! I'm new to making these little jewels and I'm loving it! I got Cyndy of Crafty Stitchers as my partner and WHOOP, WHOOP got me some cuties from her!

You can go over to Crafty Stitchers and check out what I sent her.....but I'll also show you here!

I LOVED making this sweet little thing! I got the original mouse pattern from Kim at Old Road Primitives (ORP). I got some of my ideas from Carol over at Buttermilk Creek Farm. Carol makes WONDERFUL Meeces!

Here's my little Tillie!

Tillie the Cheesemaker! She doesn't waste time with mouse traps!

I placed the pin cushion in the basket but you could always stick more in Tillie.....OUCH!!!

I have a couple of these boxes just sitting around. This could be used for 'extra' storage!

Her tail is made from jute.

SO MUCH FUN! I've got one more on my table to finish. Not even sure how much something like this would sell for so I'll have to research my Prim friends on Etsy.

Speaking of Prim friends, the fabulous OFG Team, Old Farmhouse Gathering) is launching a new celebration on Monday! WONDERFUL new creations from our super talented Team! You might want to stop by and read our Funny Bunny Springtime story that some of us made up! It's to be continued until Easter!

ANNOUNCING A WINNER!

Good Monday morning, Dear Blogging Friends!

I'ts awfully cool here in the land of ever present Sunshine! My heat ran almost all night long. Woke up to 30 degrees, BRRRRRRRRR!! Yeh, I know, you're all laughing as you're surrounded by your 10,000 feet of snow and -75 degrees of frigid cold. I've nothing to complain about compared to you!

I DO have a winner for my Bunny Make-Do! You gave me SOOOOOO many wonderful ideas! I pondered them all and decided to come up with this design.

She has a lt. blue dress with small pink rosebuds. I've fashioned a small muslin apron across her middle. Her little arms are holding a heart grapevine wreath that has been covered in floral moss and Springtime blossoms.

 I wrapped her ears in a bright pink polka dot ribbon and then glued a small pearl-type button under her neck. I applied a little too much hot glue to the bow and to cover up my mistake, I added some sheep curls.

She, of course, is tied to an old bobbin with some sisal and hot glue.

 My own sweet little Anna Belle(7 years old) has watched me putting her together the whole time so I asked her what she'd like to name her. 

Anna Belle with her pet Dumbo Rat, Brownie.

I told her all of your choices which turned out to be a combination of  Belle and/ or Bella. In Italian that means Beautiful, so my Anna Belle chose to name her Rosabelle......and so, she is my Rosabelle!

Random.org chose a home for Rosabelle to go to.

She'll be housing with....

CAROL STUCK 

of 

BUTTERMILK CREEK FARMS

Carol herself makes WONDERFUL creations so you may want to stop by and tell her congrats and look around!

CONGRATS, CAROL!!

Email your address to me at VicWeave@aol.com so I can send her out to you tomorrow!

THANK YOU, EVERYONE, for your participation and consistent support of my Blog. I'm going to have a Tutorial up in another day or 2 for Rosabelle with the pattern so you can make her, too. I also have a 400 Follower Giveaway to put up on my Face Book so will be tending to that soon.

Wishing you lots or warmth in this cold weather! Looks like the old Groundhog doesn't know everything.....he is, after all, just a Rodent!

Stay Tuned!

GIVEAWAY! Your Opinion Matters

Yes, it does which, of course, is why I'm asking!

I made up a new pattern; a Bunny Make-Do on an old spool/ bobbin.

How is it that I need your help?

I tend to 'over' embellish sometimes....alright, fine....ALL the time so, you tell me.....

 She needs something at the top of her ears. I emphasize HER. AND, she needs a bow, collar, apron, dress, tag, sweet Annie,

She has wired and stiffened ears and I've yet to add her sisal whiskers. A name would be nice, too!!

Tell me so I can dress her and give her away.....to you, or you, or you!

YEP, My February GIVEAWAY is here! 

1. Be a Follower

2. Leave me a comment telling me how to 'fix r up'!

3. SHARE for a 3rd entry!

Open to US and Canadian friends only please.

Giveaway ends FEBRUARY 18th (Monday)!!
