My Wins ....

Wow, it has been awhile.  Time seems to be flying by.  I have been super busy with orders, a big thank you to everyone.

I was the lucky winner of 2 giveaways.  I won the pattern from Vicky of Vicky-MyArt, she made the rabbit and had 2 giveaways, I won the pattern,  Thank you, Vicky  and I won the little doll, snowflake ornie and yo-yo coaster from Debbie of Barefoot Primitives, I love the little doll, thank you, Debbie.


 Been working on a lot of dolls, I think I have made over 100 so far this year.  On my second bolt of muslin.

 My cat loves to sleep on or near my WIPs, everynight he is stretched out, snoring away.
 A pattern I got from Overstock Crafts on FB,an old Ragg Baggs Babys pattern, if you haven't checked that site out, you should, you get some awesome deals.  People sell their unwanted craft supplies. It is addicting!
 We had a great visit with my sister-in-law and her son, he was on his way home from college and they stopped to visit for a few days.
Hope everyone has a great week.

Popping in for a quick visit

It's been awhile, it's almost APRIL!, we have a cold week for us, but supposed to be in the 70's the next few days, spring has sprung!

We went to a few craft shows, one in Savannah, it rained the whole day, but we braved the weather and after visiting the craft show went to several antique stores, we found a few bargains.
 I have been busy working on new dolls, these are some of my favorites
 Some more spring dolls
 This was a custom order for a customer, I used the pilgrim couple (Sweet Meadows FArm) and made them into an Irish couple.
 And I have started on Christmas, these are all tree toppers, made on top of a paper mache cone.
 This is a new pattern for me, A Cat and the Fiddle design, I am going to see If I can make a man pilgrim to go with her and a pumpkin or two.
 A batch of nurses .....
 And I was the lucky winner of Tonya's Easter egg give-away.    Here they are displayed with an win from Pat, my little dollie.
 More Christmas, I won the pattern for the longjohns, by sharing a page on FB, Dee Duncan Folkart.
 More Sock Monkey Annies, the little felt monkeys I made up to go with them.
 A prim couple I just finished up, using a Raggedy Old Annies Pattern.



We're getting ready to take my son and his girlfriend, and my nephew, Zack, who is up for Easter to the barbeque place.   Tomorrow we are doing a turkey, so the cat is extremely happy, as he loves turkey.  I am also going to surprise them with Easter baskets tomorrow, after all you are  never too old for the Easter Bunny!   Happy Easter, everyone.

A SWAP and a WIN ....

Just  a quick post to show off my goodies.  I participated in Wendy's of Ravenwood Whimzies 2nd Annual Pinkeep Swap and I was partnered up with Vicki.  I received the cutest little mouse on a wooden cheese box, complete with her butter churn.  She also sent me some pins and needles and yummy smelling tarts.  Thank you Vicki and thank you Wendy for hosting this great swap.
 And I was also the lucky winner of this adorable little doll in Pat's of All Is Bright giveaway. Thank you, Pat. I love her!
Thanks again, everyone!

It's been almost a month ... Time is Flying...

I hope everyone had a Happy Valentines Day.  It seems like forever since I posted. I have busy working on dolls and more dolls.  I have had alot of order, so I am staying superbusy!    Hubby has been retired for 2 weeks, he definitely is going to have to find something to do!!!!!

We are headed to Savannah this weekend, meeting up with my brother-in-law and his wife.  There is a Spring craft show that we are going to, I have never been to a spring show, so hoping it is a good one.  There is a good chance of rain, so we are keeping our fingers crossed.

Here are some of the dolls I have been working on,  pink-haired little Annies


Ballerinas have been super popular right now ....
A new patriotic Annie
 Some Mamas and their baby dolls
 these guys are popular too
 A custom Valentine's order
 I love the colors on this one--little poodle, compliments of Lil Raggedy Angie
I am busy planning the 2nd annual craft show at our library,  I just sent applications out today, hoping it will be bigger than last year.  Last year we had 75+ for our first show and it was packed.

We have been having weird weather, in the 20's one night, then 80 the next day.  Everyone is hacking with the pollen, it is gonna be a long allergy season.

Hope everyone has a great week!
