A Quicky Raggedy Doll

How quick did I make this doll?  Would you believe 2 hours?  Yep, just two hours.  How did I do it so quick you ask?  Humm, because I've done over hundred of these girls?  Cause I'm good? (lol)  Ok, Ok I'll confess.  This is the FIRST time ever that I do not sew the dress.  Yes, you heard right.  The dress was sewn by the very talented Julie Marcotte from My Raggedy Dolls, who also designed this doll pattern.  I purchased the dress from her web site back in June.

 I'm suppose to be dressing some naked Santas, but this cute dress kept calling me to put together a body with brown eyes and red hair.  Now that she is posted I'll finish making dinner and hopefully get those naked Santas dressed!  Have a wonderful evening.

Hugs, 

Craftroom Mess and Projects

I hope everyone's weekend was nice - I, on the other hand, didn't accomplish finishing some of my planned projects for the craft show as planned.  Too much socializing this weekend like playing cards with friends on Friday night, attending our Godson's wedding Sat and then Sunday night football -- which I hate to say my team lost :0(   Not enough time in the craft room can get you behind big time!  Speaking of spending time in the craft room -- check out these pictures of my "looks like your room was turned upside down."  What a mess!  That's what it looks like when I'm crunching on time.

I had just enough time to work on this cute snowman pillow from Liberty Creek Primitives.  As you can see below I have three additional pillows sewn and waiting for stuffing and the snowmen.  I really like these.

Then I messed around with a star and a wool heart with an appliqued snowman.  By the way, that's a sketched picture of my granddaughter and me.   I have that hanging in my craftroom.  OK - time to finish those snowmen pillows.  Happy sewing time!

Hugs,

I Will Never Forget

I will never forget that dreadful day - 9-11.  I was home from work sick that morning and had just turned on the TV when the first Twin Tower was hit and watched in horror when the second one was then hit.  My prayers and thoughts are with all of the lost ones and their family and friends.  God Bless America.

Ms Halloween

Good morning and happy Labor Day!  I did another little witch and have named her Ms Halloween.  The last one was Ms Boo.  As I've posted before, I normally don't do a lot of Halloween crafts due to staying busy with the Christmas craft show in Nov, but this was a special order for a very special customer.  She was gonna grab the other one, but it went before she could get it on Etsy.  This lady is from Connecticut and is one my best customers, so I put down my Christmas crafting for a while and made this little girl this weekend. 

Since it's a holiday and I'm off from work I'm gonna take advantage and start sewing some snowmen.  Besides, with the 100+ degree temps here in Texas, I need to think of cold!  So to all -  stay cool!

hugs!
