Good morning Primitive ladies and gents!

First off, I am sorry for not posting very much as of late~
Due to GORGEOUS weather, I've been a busy little bee tending gardens and doing some good ol' fashion home improvement! 

BUT...

I have been also stitching up something new for summer ;)

I'll put some sneak peek pictures of it later on in this post but first..

Looky Looky

 at the beautiful flowers we have for spring! 

Aren't they just lovely??

I was pleased to see some flowers from last year that made it through our Minnesota winter also~
I'll snap some pictures of those later once they come up some more~

I promised a sneak peak of my new summer pattern I've been brewing up, haven't I? 

It's not too much to look at yet but I'll also show you the sketch I did of it!

Well here it is.. ;)

What a good name for needles!!! *Chuckles* 

My needle box from my home town~

I hope to have her finished up soon so I can start my next pattern idea which includes using some of Dixie Samplar's wonderful dyed fabric!! =) 

 Thank you for reading and I hope you check back soon for more updates!

Happy Easter to all!!

She's finished!! 

After thinking it over I decided the rest of my Queen Anne Style dolls dress and went to work on it!

After a few hours... Ta Da!!!

     She just had to have some earrings and a necklace also!

                   

I am very pleased with how she turned out =) 

The thing that probably took the longest was sewing the vintage fringe on~

All that is left now is this fine lady needs a name.

I'm open to suggestions if anyone has a name they feel would suit her =)

Thank you for reading and please check back soon for more of my patterns and creations~

Good morning my Primitive friends!!

I wanted to share with you all my latest doll I've been working on~

She is another Queen Anne 1700-1800's Style doll but, this time I decided I wanted her to look a bit "older".. A very antiqued,primmed up, type doll =) 

Her head and arms are made out of paper mache since I haven't really tried my hand at carving like the originals LOL. 

But I felt the paper mache was a close enough look =)

Now she needed an under skirt which I fashioned out of some vintage,silky fabric~

Next, I believed it was time I give her some hair and the next layer to her skirt! =) 

I went for a more "plain", hair style rather then some of the more "wild" hair they had in those days.. LOL

Now all that is left is to finish her dress and add some detail to the skirt~

Check back soon for her finished dress and more updates! =)

Thank you for reading,

This morning, I awoke to the most displeasing of sights...

~

The snow is back!!

After a long tease of spring, I awoke to 5" of snow.

We were suppose to get rain but, somehow we got this.. 

 I can imagine even all of our furred and feathered friends aren't too pleased with our latest snow! Particularly the feathered little owners of this house who are snowed in now~

Even with tiny bird foot prints throughout it, I wish it would go away!

If anyone has some spring to spare, please bring it our way!

I cannot wait to start work on the new garden and other fun outdoor activities~

Thank you for reading~

The newest batch of fabric and eggs are finished!

This time we used Tumerick, to dye some BEAUTIFUL golden yellow eggs and fabric~

The eggs are perfect in a little antique wire egg basket!

~Everything into the dying pot!~

The wool and Aida we stuck in the pot came out perfectly! I can't wait to use it for one of my summer patterns~

Thank you for reading and check back soon for more updates!
