I finally took the time to add some new items to my Etsy Shop! http://www.teresasprimtreasures.etsy.com/ I've been making some wool appliqued cell phone necklaces! The small digital cameras fit into them nicely also! I was tired of always digging through my purse for a ringing cell phone while out shopping or traveling! This is so nice to keep it right at your finger tips!

I used a purchased pattern by Heart to Hand to create it.

Also, I added a mustard colored wood toaster cover with the handpainted sheep on it. My husband was in the woodshed this past weekend and made the ones I needed for orders and I will be painting them tomorrow! So.......... for the girls that have ordered toaster covers you will be hearing from me soon!

Craft show pictures!!!

It was a hot and humid day on Saturday for Country Memories Day but we survived!!! We had to pack up in a nice steady rain which made it real hot under the closed in tent............... but we stayed dry! Sales where higher than last year so that was very exciting and made it all worthwhile! Here are some pictures of our set up and some new items I've added this year.
This was a small display we put in the front and center where the customers enter.

This was our check out counter. I like how Christa displays her magnets on the old muffin tins!

Shopping from the Weekend at PrimMart Convention

What a weekend I had!!! So much fun meeting up with online friends that share the joy of crafting!!!

Our day started out with Michele from The Primitive Times E-Zine and I driving to Harrisburg to pick up Marie from Mamaw's Creations at the hotel. We then traveled to see Patti at her Brickhouse Crafts! We then went back to the hotel and picked up Kristal from Rags-N-Tags before making a stop at the Greyhound bus stop for NeeNee KrazyKraftLady. On to an antique store in Hummelstown. A huge place with 3 floors of wonderful treasures!


We spent time Friday night getting to know each other (most knew each other from past conventions) but I was a new one! Haven't done that much laughing in years and it felt sooooooooooo good!!!



On Saturday we traveled to Lancaster for the Day and hit lots of nice Primitive Shops.




Sunday morning was a trip to a huge flea market in Mechanicsburg and look what I found!!! Lots of dippers and baby shoes to put mice in. I was one happy camper!!!










Here is a picture of the girls I roomed with we..... the hotel was beautiful and had 2 bedrooms, a living room, full kitchen and 2 bathrooms! This picture was taken outside a nice shop by the Kitchen Kettle in Lancaster. Left to right starting in the front we have Marie, Kristal, Me and in the back is Michele and NeeNee!



I have a craft show on Saturday so I need to get back to work!!! Lots to finish up!! I will talk more about convention later!!!

Wooden Toaster Cover

WOW!!! Where did those weeks go? I can't believe it's been a month since I last posted. I really have been working on crafts but I also lost some time with a pulled muscle in my back! Sure glad that is over with!

My first craft show of the year is May 23rd................... so I'm busy trying to finish things up that I have started! It will be held in McVeytown, PA and it is called Country Memories Day.

Here is one of the toaster covers that my husband made a few weeks ago and I just now got around to painting it. I used a Kim Klassen design for the sheep!

Mice in Baby Shoes and My Swap from Bee Charmer Primitives!

I've been working on a bunch of mice and finally finished them up and started tucking them into anything I can find. I scoured some antique shops for baby shoes and lucked out one day finding all these. Two are in old jello molds and one is in an old strainer. I used real dried flowers in all of them............ even the little daisies are real drieds.

This is a wonderful sign I received from Bee Charmer Primitives in a Spring swap that I participated in with my Etsy team OFG! I just love it and it looks great hanging in my mudroom!

Tobacco Cloth Covers!

Last week I received the Tobacco Cloth that I had ordered and it has been setting here calling my name! I had to take a break from mice and do something with it! My crocks are getting a new look. It makes a great cover for just about anything. I also put some over an Atlas Special Mason jar which I filled with spanish moss, orange spice scented rosehips, orange slices, pods and a mini chick candy mold.

This jar is an old blue Ball Perfect Mason jar that I filled with a bunch of Sweet Annie, Broom Corn, wild berries and a stubby prim candle all tied together with a piece of the tobacco cloth. I did add some spanish moss to the bottom of the jar to kind of hold it all in place.

I also finished up some "Piggy's which I've been working on. I used a pattern by Kentucky Primitives to create this cute little guy. I did get one listed in my Etsy Shop http://www.teresasprimtreasures.etsy.com/w.teresasprimtreasures.etsy.com/ !

OFG Spring & Easter Celebrations!!!

The Spring Celebration is under way........you can find my shop here http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5287236 and to do a search of all the OFGSC creations just type OFGSC into the search bar........... the Easter Celebration is almost ready to begin! Here are a few things I've been working on for Easter. The first is Carrotbottom Farms Rabbit which I created using a pattern by Sassafras Hill Primitives and the other rabbit is Snickerdy Rabbit Doll created with a pattern from Veenas Folk Art Primitive Designs. The Pinkeeps were designed by Bird In the Hand Primitives and I used some wonderful reproduction fabric designs from the Civil War Era! I've attached a nice antique Easter graphic to create the tags.

Snickerdy hold a bag of fabric painted flowers and Carrotbottom holds a fabric vintage graphic bag.
