Penny Rug Mat for Primitive Handmades Mercantile Update

If you haven't stopped by the Primitive Handmades Mercantile site since Friday you really should!  So many quality prim pretty handmades have been created once again!   Many pieces have been sold but just ask and most of the artists will take the time to create one for you!  This is what I had fun creating this month!

A penny rug that will fit on a windowsill, the back of your toilet, that special prim cupboard or  table!  

I enjoyed making these two pouches using a doodle design by Robin Leuschen of Bird In The Hand Primitives !  Both designs can be found in her Spring Thyme Doodle Booklet. Robin creates the BEST doodles I know and best of all they can be used in so many ways. If you are interested in ordering either of these little pouches let me know and I will gladly stitch one up for you! You can read all about them on my PHM page!

And be sure to stop by my mom's page Liberty's Handmade Primitives and check out her wonderful antique coverlet pillows and these cute butterfly's!  The painted salt dough flowers I used for the photo are from Sarah of All Roads Lead Home ........they go so well together....... don't they!  

Enjoy your day!!

I was delighted to hear the toot of the mailman today! I don't usually take the time to enter blog giveaways but last week I did sign up for two and guess what?!?!?! I won both of them! Geesh... I'm not usually this lucky..... should have played the Mega Million! I was fortunate enough to win a precious mouse from Carol of Buttermilk Creek Farm and today the package arrived! Meet "Miss Milly"! Oh my GOSH!!! Such detail and oh so very sweet! Just look at those tiny little flowers and watering can! And the hat is prim perfect! Carol also included these spice covered eggs and a prim perfect pantry cake wrapped in cheesecloth! Thank you so much Carol!!! I feel so honored to have one of your lovely creations in my home! You must stop by Buttermilk Creek Farm's blog and check out her work! Amazing workmanship!!!

 

It is finished and the scoop on PHM!!!

It is a dreary rainy day here in PA today so I took the time to finish up the hooked piece I was working on! Loved this design as soon as I saw it in the wool shop! The pattern is from Primitive Rug Designs by Anne Nichols! It is hooked on linen which was a first for me and I really did like it! Kathy from Rugs of Mine in Time helped me with picking out the wool colors and I'm real happy with the look! Thanks Kathy! I'm going to hang this in my bathroom between two of my wool appliqued pictures after my husband makes some kind of wood piece to hang it from or on. The space I want to hang it in requires a little bit more coverage so I'm thinking a wood backing or hanger will do the trick!I also want to remind you about the contest we are having on the Primitive Handmades Mercantile site! Each page has a lime green letter hidden among the descriptions of the offerings and all you need to do is collect all 20 and unscramble the phrase! Here are some of the offerings this month that are still available! In "Liberty Handmade Primitives" you will find Buster the Cat! So cute!Looks like Jennifer still has this beautiful cross stitched "Wool" pillow remaining!
Kathy's needle punched eggs are the sweetest!Joanne has some hooked eggs! Check them out!This is just a sampling of the wonderful handmades so be sure to stop by and check every page!!!

New "Treasures" have been added!

Hard to believe it is time for another update at Primitive Handmades Mercantile! So many cute Spring things this month! So please stop by and check them out! Here is what I've added to my page!
I enjoyed creating this little pocket punching a doodle from Robin of Bird In The Hand Primitives! Along with the update we are having a contest! Each artist has a lime green uppercase letter hidden somewhere on their page.... you need to collect all the letters and unscramble them into a 4 word phrase to be entered into the giveaway! Just look at what you could win!

Started a new hooked piece!

Where did this week go?!?!?! So much happening here I can't seem to get caught up! I had to take a day off from orders yesterday so I went to the Grant Street Wool Shop! Started a new hooked piece using linen. Love this pattern by Anne Nichols called 1808. Kathy at Rugs of Mine in Timehelped me pick out the perfect colors of wool! She is such a big help!!! Now today it is sitting here calling my name but I must finish up some dolls for my patient customers!
Check out this sweet little magnet I purchased there too! Linda the owner and one of the other hookers and I can't remember her name.... hopefully Kathy can pass that along to us.....made these for an upcoming show! They hold the scissors on your work area!!! It took me a whole second to decide I needed one of these! Love it!
Reminder!!!! One more week before the next update at Primitive Handmades Mercantile If you see something in one of the shops that is still available you better get it now because it all will be changing next Friday!
Until next time! Have a great day!
