Festive Primitive Broom Corn Wreath


Here is another use for the Broom Corn that my mom and dad grew this summer! I've been wanting to make up some wreaths and today was the day! My kitchen is a mess but I sure had fun! I love how they turned out and have listed one in my Etsy Shop! My aunt had given me some of these awesome wax sheep and he sits in there so nicely! Next I'm going to make some new primitive ornaments for my Christmas tree! Have a candy cane design in my head that needs to come out! LOL Have a great day!

What I've been working on!


WOW!!! Why do I start so many things at one time?!?! I'll never know! It seems to take forever to get anything done but when I do........it feels so good! Here are some new "treasures" for the Holiday Celebrations that the Old Farmhouse Gathering team is having .... you can find my entries here http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5287236 . Some of these are also for a wholesale order and the Online Craft Show I'm in that will begin tomorrow!
I haven't made any new dolls lately so it was fun to create these Christmas dolls! Of course I had to name one after my new granddaughter Jillian. She is the one in the red dress holding the snowman!

New Cell Phone Necklaces!






I managed to finish some new cell phone necklaces for my last show which was on Saturday!








The weather was a little chilly, breezy and cloudy for the day but no rain!!! We had it all this year! The crowd was good and sales were about the same so I was a happy camper!

I actually took the time to walk around and check out the other booths! I think we were the only "handmade" primitive spot there and I had some nice compliments!
The week before I did a really small show at a Fall Gathering in Kings Gap State Park. It had lots of fun things for kids to do and in a really pretty location at the top of a small mountain.... actually is was a 4 mile winding narrow road to get to the top.

You could tell the people coming into my booth were not familiar with primitives. This one couple came into my booth and I heard the husband say to his wife....while looking at one of my wooden pieces....... "wow that must really be old". He turned around and asked me how old it was............ a little dumb founded I said "Awwww... two months" I then told him it was a reproduction, newly made by my husband and I painted it to look old! He was shocked and said I did a good job! LOL He was referring to the white one hanging here.
Hope all have enjoyed the short Fall season........at least here in PA it feels like winter already!!! I'm not looking forward to my son's football game on Saturday in the cold and damp weather! At least it is at 1:30 in the afternoon and not in the evening! Stay warm.........until next time!!! Have a great day!

Pumpkin Head Witch Doll ~ Mini Pumpkins ~ Mouse in the Pumpkin Patch


Gearing up for a Fall Celebration with the OFG Etsy Team! On Saturday I will be listing 3 new Fall/Halloween "treasures" in my Etsy shop.

I created this Pumpkinhead Witch Doll using a pattern by Veena's Mercantile! I just love the design. She is wearing a fabric made candy corn around her neck and carries a bag of fresh cut Sweet Annie.
I made the mini 2 1/2" pumpkins from painted osnaburg, a stick, wire vine and some wool leaves. So cute for a shelf, cupboard or bowl.
The mouse sits proudly in an antique soap dish with 2 tiny little fabric made pumpkins and his "For Sale" sign.
