Let's Celebrate Autumn

Well, it didn't last too long - that is going back to making another doll.  OK, I was good and made a pretty good dent for my Christmas show, but I got this new doll pattern from Threadbare Primitives and just couldn't wait any longer to try it out. 

Here she is, Miss Autumn, with her fall colors and her pet mouse.  Love making her.  Next I'll make some Christmas dolls like her with a small Santa or candy cane or a big present!  So many ideas and not enough hours in the day since I work 40 hours a week outside the home.  But, it's still so much fun - gotta love it.

She'll soon be heading to my Etsy shoppe!

Things I've Been Working on This Weekend

OK Pat, put the dolls down and start working on your items for the upcoming craft show.  Hmmm, I think that was my angel on my shoulder giving me some good advice.  Well, as you can see, even though it's sooo hard putting down the dolls, I have been a busy bee for the last two or three days (it is Sunday right?).  I did some pillows as shown above.  The small Merry Christmas ones are always a hot seller - so I probably will do more of those.  The one with the Santa and candy cane is a pattern I purchased from Samantha at samanthasaccessories.blogspot.com.  She has several real cute patterns that you should check out.  Don't be afraid to mix your stitching with wool and acrylic paints. I love mixing it up.

I also stitched several ornaments.  These are very popular - and I'm only showing you a few.  I think for the past month I've done about five dozen small ornaments.  These are things you can work on while you watch TV with your hubby.  It also gets you out of your craft room for a while.  This time of the year I certainly spend more time there than any other room in the house.

Next, I'll start working on my wool projects.  I love working with wool!

And maybe a doll -shhhhh - can't say that out too loud!

I hope you enjoyed looking at some of my projects that I've been working on.  Have a wonderful day! 

Nuthin But A Sweet Pea

Hi everyone!  Yes, I'm suppose to be working on Christmas crafts, but I had an itching to make a doll.  And as I was creating her I was thinking, what should I name her?  After I painted her face it came to me - what a sweet pea.  Yep, nuthin but a Sweet Pea she is. 

Sweet Pea will be in my Etsy shoppe soon, but if you're interested in her just email me.

Blessings!
