Simple Annie

I made a few more Simple Annie dolls. Only have pics of two, the other left before I could get a pic, LOL! This is a freebie pattern by The Olde Country Cupboard and you can get it here: http://oldecountrycupboard.blogspot.com/  Scroll down to bottom of page and look for the "Simple Annie" in her freebie patterns. I also have 4 prairie dolls I've been working on. Have their dresses done but needing to get them finished. Will post pics of those too, but for now here's the Simple Annies....










































I know lots of you crafters have been pounded with all the snow storms! I think of you all often and hope all are safe and keeping warm. Hopefully, you're staying inside and creating lots of goodies!
Till next time, have fun crafting!

Boxes, Bags, Garland and Annies

Whew! Had another bout with sinuses and been down this past week. Put me behind on my plans but I'm back at it, LOL!  I've made some fabric covered boxes, cute lil printed burlap ditty bags with Sweet Annie and battery operated candles, and lighted rag garland with hearts for Valentine's day. I've started on some Simple Annie dolls but never got to finish them. Will start back on those today and hope to get them completed by this evening? I luv that pattern by The Olde Country Cupboard, it's so easy and sweet! Will share pics of those later, but for now I'm sharing the boxes, bags, and garland....

Here's some boxes and the ditty candle bags....



















And here's the lighted rag garland....














Hope everyone's been having fun and staying well. For all those in the storm's path please stay safe and keep warm!
Till next time, have fun crafting!

A Few More Valentines....

I've had a very busy yet fun day. Need to finish a few more goodies then hitting the bed. Need to wrap a few things up so I can start on wax. :)  Wanted to share a few more pics with you as promised. Of all the Valentine goodies to create, I always love making the heart on rusty springs make-do's. They're simple yet have such bold charm!
I can't wait to start putting together the St Patty's day creations, that is such a fun holiday as well. Hope you're all having fun and getting your holiday crafting done too.

More Valentine Goodies

Sharing a few more pics this evening of some Valentine goodies I've been working on. I had some printed burlap a friend sent me and decided to make some cute ditty bags with b/o candles in them. I also saw a tut online where this one girl had used the large candy canes to make a Love Heart door hanger, thought that was so neat and had to try it!  Also showing one of several cheese box lamps I've done for the holiday. This one has a cute pink felt gingy with hearts, sweet annie, pips, plus sprayed with glitter for a wonderful shimmer. It has a flicker bulb in the candle that gives a real candle flame motion and glow. Sharing more pics as I go along. Hope you're all having as much fun as I creating for the holidays!























































Till next time, have fun crafting!

Sweet Heart Bag Lamps

Don't you just love making the Valentine's Day bag lamps! I sure do, so easy and so many options for whatever your mind wants to create! I wanted to share with you a few pics of some I've been working on. Have other goodies in the works too then will move on to the wax after those things are finished.

I hope everyone's keeping busy and having fun working on the sweet heart's day crafts, giggles! I think Valentine's Day is one of the funnest crafting holidays! All of my sweet heart crafts aren't prim style, but they're still fun to create. I've got to get busy again and finish a couple projects this evening so will hush and post the pics. Hope you share your pics with us too!





























































Till next time, have fun crafting!

Funnel Cakes & A Free Pattern

Oh YUM! Fresh hot funnel cakes this evening! Some times you get a sweet tooth and need to satisfy it, regardless what time it is. Wink! Wink! And speaking of a sweet tooth, how about some Sweet Hearts? Made after the conversation candy pieces, these cute lil ornies can be used as bowl fillers, shlef tucks, or in other creations as they're the perfect size for doing so. Look for my freebie pattern in the share Box in right side menu, "shp.pdf" and download to your computer. I haven't grunged these in cinnamon yet as I wanted to get a decent clear pic to show you. (You all know how terrible I am with the camera, LMBO!)  And, I didn't stitch the words on these but free-hand painted them on. Of course you can stitch yours on if you like, but I went for the quick n easy and they did turn out good. I also have two more patterns in the making and will share them as well once finished.





















I have been working on Valentine and Spring crafts, and decided it was time to make my own patterns. I wanted these in a certain size as I'll be using them in lamps and other creations. (I'll update with pics as I go along.) I hope you find this useful and have fun creating them.
Till next time, have fun crafting!
