Last Day

Today is the last day for our OFG Team's "CHRISTMAS WINTER WONDERLAND" Celebration.

You still have time to go to Etsy and type in the letters CWWOFG in the search bar under ALL items to find some great gifts and maybe something for yourself as well! 

ALSO.....

today is the last day to sign up for my GIVEAWAY for the Celebration.

I was goig to have my prize finished by today but my sweet hubby came home this weekend and that took up my time....which I gave up GLADLY!

Here's a 'sneak peek' and a link where you need to sign up!

Go HERE and read the information in GREEN letters then leave me a comment on that particular post. I will reveal the winner tomorrow, here on my blog.

AND....

last, but certainly not least, don't forget the WONDERFUL Giveaway over at  

THE RUSTY THIMBLE 

that Brenda Griffith is hosting! 

Such amazing creations and an opportunity for you to win one of 23 gifts + a drawing for a $20 gift certificate from the shop of your choice!

Stay Tuned!

Changing Colors

I wish we could see more color changes here as you do in the north. I wouldn't mind a drop in the temps too, but the GOOD thing about living in Florida in the fall and winter is that it gives us time to acclimate to the not-so-warm temps that we do get. I'll just have to 'oooooooh and ahhhhhhh' over the photos you share on your blogs and FB as we continue to run our AC and wish for a cool down.

Something I can control though are the changing colors on my palette.

 I drew up a new design and am excited to see this one hanging. 

Should finish it tomorrow and share a picture with you soon!

Just wanted to remind you of the Giveaways and Celebrations that are still going on. Look to my right sidebar for info and links and DON'T FORGET MY GIVEAWAY.  Use this link HERE to sign up! I'll show you in a few days what I'm giving away as part of the end of our OFG Team Celebration!

As always,

Stay Tuned!

 My Witches Hat Centerpiece!

The BIG 50.....and A Winner!

Good morning my Blogging Friends!
Yes,
it's that day that rolls around once a year for each of us.

Today is mine and I am 50!

No time for crafting today as I've got a morning full of climbing Mt. Laundry. Great way to spend a birthday, right?! My fault as I've neglected my house lately......doing only the necessary bare essentials. 

I've got a winner for my September Giveaway.

Please help me congratulate VALERIE of YORKIES PRIMITIVES!

Congrats, VAL!! I'm pretty sure I've got your addy so hang on to your horses while I package up your Witch Boots Centerpiece and send it off to you!

Thank you one and all for your continued support! I truly appreciate each and every one of you who think enough of me and my work to follow this blog.

Brenda Griffith over at the RUSTY THIMBLE is putting together a very large Giveaway and I'm including a special little doll for it so that will be part of my October Giveaway. I'm thinking I'll have one on my FB, too, so make sure you go over and 'like' my page (badge is on my right sidebar). 

Also, the OFG Team (Old Farmhouse Gathering), is gearing up for a "Christmas Winter Wonderland Celebration" so stay tuned for more information!

Alright, enough computer time. Kids are running out of britches and I promised myself a few days of clean up around here!

Hope the FALL season is upon you. We're still swatting Love Bugs and running the AC. Ah well, we do love our summers not to mention the 'no snow' thing!

My Swap Package!

I'm participating in Amy's, of Bumble Bee Lane Cottage, Fall Swap. I got 2 partners and received one of my packages from Granny Trace on Monday. Oh dear, WHAT a spoiled, rotten person she made me into!!!

 Wrapped up so pretty! She could've just stopped there!

EEEEEEEEEKKKKK!! A bowl full of woolie apples---and the bowl, too!!!

This beautifully quilted Table mat (I'm calling it a Table Mat cause it's sitting in the center of my table with some pumpkins, etc) a prize catch!

Along with this adorable wool pillow! Seriously people, TOTALLY ROTTEN!

AND Yankee Candles!! She got this Swap package JUST RIGHT!!

Thank you SO MUCH Trace for the WONDERFUL goodies and also to AMY for hostessing this fantastic SWAP! 

Sending my packages out today! Sure hope they like them!

Don't forget about my Giveaway! Look to my right sidebar for the picture of the Witches Boots!

Do You See What I See?

No, I'm not singing Christmas songs....yet! But I will be soon enough!

I stopped by my sweet Mother-in-Laws house yesterday on my way home from taking my daughter to the doctor. Yes, I'm one of the lucky ones that has an AWESOME MIL! Anyway, she'd recently been to visit her sisters in Tennessee and she brought me back some Fabrics!

That cream color is a type of heavy muslin. PERFECT for dolls and Prims alike!

All of these are 60" wide and a LOT of yardage!

I'm seeing a Snowman Jacket from these knits. And a HUGE ball of cording that will be a great addition to the bottom of a Santa coat! That blue knit will make some great pants for my snowman, too!

This orange is good for some pumpkins and I have yards of it!

   Red velvet, some red organza, and peppermint striped knit!

Boy, am I SEEING Santas!!

A HUGE roll of Light red Velvet! Perfect for SnowBelle!

Who is SnowBelle? Well you haven't met her yet but she's going to be from a pattern I recently purchased from Old Road Primitives.

And yes, I bought a pattern for me 'cause I'm sick to death of trying to find something to wear other than a prairie skirt! I don't like the graphic prints they have in the stores:(  I'm also very tall so most of the dresses that come to a normal person's knees, comes clear up above mine. Plus, I'm looking for a basic royal blue dress to show off my pretty sapphires from my hubby! No, I'm not a Diamond girl! You KNOW I like color!!

Don't forget about my Giveaway on the 24th. Sign up HERE!

Stay Tuned!

Halloween WIPs

Good morning Blogging Friends!

I'm quite pleased with myself this a.m.! I'm sitting here typing to you with a smile on my face 'cause the last of my Halloween is being completed! 

I ACTUALLY finished everything that I had planned and even a bit more for the October Festivities!!

These 2 'beauties' (pattern from MY PRIMITIVE SALTBOX) need their hats, a spider, and a spooky tag!

That's a Halloween wooden Witch doll made with wire and a pretty dress and 2 Pocketfuls waiting for the rest of their embellishments!

I've LOVED making these guys (pattern adapted from OLD ROAD PRIMITIVES)! The one on the left is in my Etsy store but the one on the table is for a Swap...sssssshhhhhhhh....don't say anything as someone might be peeking!

Another Scarecrow, some apples from THE PRIMITIVE NOOK, and the last witch head that will be a full fledged Doll....Broom and cat included!

And last of all to finish are my arms and legs.

No, not my PERSONAL arms and legs but these....

I HATE stuffing these skinny things and I save them until the last minute!

DON'T FORGET about my current GIVEAWAY HERE!

As Always,

STAY TUNED!

My September Giveaway! (CLOSED)

Here it is...just as I promised! Although I do have a few more pieces to make and a couple of Swap partners to satisfy, I'm moving Halloween out of the way. I'll finish a couple of Turkeys and a Fall Leaf Garland that I just LOVE, but it's time to  make room for the red and green!

This is my September Giveaway!

I made you a Centerpiece for your table!

2 muslin Witches boots on a slab of wood. Decorated and embellished with silk florals and Preserved Sweet Annie. A hand made Digital tag by Deena Davis. It's a keeper!

This one has a bit more floral than my original piece found HERE.
