SEW Much Going On!

 

Are you like me or the other girl? Or are you both?!

*********************

I'm still trying to finish all of those UFO's that I have sitting around in bins.....very FULL bins I might add! However, that didn't stop me from sitting down at the sewing machine.

Of course, it also didn't stop me from going back out to my saws!

I bought a couple of organizers. I actually went through my 'other' organizers and managed to get rid of quite a bit of rubbish. You know, a left over piece of ribbon, etc. that you might can use on another project....that sort of thing. Well, instead of getting rid of one of the 'organizer' that's a little old and missing it's wheels, I just added these.

Yep, they're already full . The top one is for my sewing and 'almost finished' projects and the bottom for my wood pieces and odds and ends. I have a lot of those odds and ends :/

************************

Here are a few things I've managed to get done and listed in my shop.

 (Pattern by Cedar Creek Primitives)

(Pattern by Patti's Ratties)

 (Pattern by Chestnut Junction)

 (Pattern by Chestnut Junction)

(Pattern by Soft In The Head)

ALL of these pieces can be found HERE in my Etsy shop.

Our OFG Team (Old Farmhouse Gathering Team) is having a week long On-line Craft Show from Sept. 9th-16th. You can type in FIFOFG, OFG, or OFG Team in ETSY'S search bar for more fabulous work from our Team members!

************************

I'm down to my last school order for now. Love having 1 or 2 items in my shop that sell continuously. I'm getting good at cutting them out and having them ready for painting and customizing.....especially here in this heat! Did you know we reached 100 today?! Someone please tell Mother Nature to get over the HOT flashes! I have enough for her!

Wishing you an early FALL and relief from this very long summer that we've had. CANNOT believe it's already September!

Have a great weekend!

SEW Much!

 

So/Sew much to show you! Not necessarily in any kind of order so bear with me!



The Frogette Sisters, Toadie and Tallula, are now in my Etsy shop! They are made from a pattern by Pam Gracia of Soft in the Head.

My guy had a birthday! He looks so tired in this pic with 3 of our 6 kids! I made him a German Chocolate cake and the daughter in the green bought him steaks and made potatoes and a lovely green salad to go with it!

This little lady is new in my Etsy shop! She's from Victoria Lynn of Kentucky Primitives.

Corny Candy! Pattern by Patties Ratties!

A little 13" Rag doll! Pattern by Sweet Meadows Farm!

I'm playing with my Creative Clay and Kwik Wood! Got a few things to show and share with you in my next post!

Everyone thinks Fall is here 'cause I'm making these left and right! It's still pretty hot here and lots of rain still coming down!

New in my Etsy from Chestnut Junction!

Our OFG (Old Farmhouse Gathering) Team is holding our Fall Celebration! Drop by Etsy and type in the letters FFFOFG in Etsy's search bar OR click on the pic on my sideboard at the top right, to see more wonderful creations from our talented team!

Elvira and Winthrop are back! Another wonderful pattern from Soft In The Head!

    I'm making pumpkins of every kind to add to some of my packages. Found some Cinnamon sticks and silk florals in Hobby Lobby to top them with. Sure like the way they're turning out!

Lots more to share with you but gotta run and get some orders packaged up. Teachers are awaiting their name plates!

Thanks for stopping by!

Our Harvest Happenings Celebration is in FULL swing! Our OFG (Old Farmhouse Gathering Team) has been busy creating again and we've got some awesome pieces to share with you!

https://www.etsy.com/search?q=hhcofg

Here are some of my finished pieces that you can now find listed in my Etsy.

Elvira and Winthrop. A pattern by Soft in the Head.

My "Crows Roost Inn". A pattern by Plum Purdy that I adapted.

Some "FALL" blocks that I cut from 2x4's and painted. The lettering is Walnut colored vinyl.

I also made one more Scarecrow.

We named this one Sam. Typical, yes. Especially in my home as it's my hubby's name, too!!!

Don't forget about the GIVEAWAY I'm having in the post below this one. It ends on Wednesday and there have only been a few sign ups. It's a great one for the decorative artist! Take a look-see and sign up!

Stay tuned!

A Giveaway Winner/Where Is Our Sunshine?!!

Seriously, we've been without sunshine for so long I think they're going to rename our state!

 I try not to diss the rain when we get it. When you live on a lake and watch the water levels come and go, you learn to appreciate when Mother Nature is giving. But dadgummit all I WANT MY SUNSHINE!!

I've got a winner for my Valentine Giveaway! Random.com surprises me from time to time by choosing #1 and it did this time!  

So, Vicki H. you are my winner!

Email me at VicWeave@aol.com so I can get your Garland out to you this next week!

Thank you EVERYONE for signing up and supporting this Giveaway. I will have more throughout the year/Seasons. I'm getting ready for one on my FB to celebrate 700 followers and I'll let you know when it's up and ready!

Our Etsy Team, Old Farmhouse Gathering (OFG) had a Team Swap: "Beat the Winter Blues" and I received mine from Bonnie of Occasional Gifts.  Here's a picture of what she sent me.

We were supposed to send a Snowman, fabric, something 'sweet' to eat and then something else that we chose to send. I LOVE these little Snowmen!

**********************

I've finished my Cardinals except for a little beaded eye.

 I'm putting them away until it gets closer to the Holidays as they'll be designed with floral twigs and greenery, and white lights. The pattern can be found at Old Road Primitives.

I've just finished 6 chocolate Bunnies. 

They need their bows but I'm sending some of these with some Easter grass, colored wooden eggs, and a carrot to the Humane Society of the Treasure Coast. I donate to their Bun Fest every year.

Last but not least, I purchased another cute pattern from Sweet Meadows.

I've cut out 6 and am now in the process of cutting and sewing them up. Hope to have some to show you next week. My 8 yo daughter wants one so she has to help me stuff them up. Love me some cheap labor!!

Best wishes to all in this cold weather. Looking forward to Summer so I can complain about the heat!

Stay Tuned!
