My Swap Goodies with Ellie and Finally some Rain!!!!

I recently participated in a swap, hosted by Amy of Bumble Bee Lane, and was partnered with Ellie.  She has a blog( http://elliescountryaccents.blogspot.com/), so please be sure to visit her.  We picked our favorite season and we both chose Christmas.  I received three candlemats and candles, (my husband graduated from FSU, so I'm sure I know where that one will end up), one for Christmas with gingerbread men and one for Halloween with candy corn.  A little gingerbread ornament and a prim angel, (which got cut off in the picture)

 and my favorite, this snowman head that sits on a wreath. Thank you Ellie.

 Since, I am in the mood for fall, I have made a few scarecrow, this is an old pattern by Homebodies.  He is weighted with sawdust.  He has always been one of my favorites.

 This is a Simplicity pattern, he, too, is weighted and about 24 inches tall.  I am still working on my "naked" scarecrow, he now has clothes.

 I also made this Raggedy, she is doing her laundry, added a pocket to the apron, with a tag and some mini clothespins and she holding some laundry.  I used a Pattern by Sweet Meadows Farm.

I went to Joanns last weekend and they are starting to get in some holiday fabric, the Halloween should start arriving in 3-4 weeks, according to lady that cuts fabric, can't wait.

We have finally gotten rain, not a lot, but enough to help put the fires way out.  We have had rain several days in a row now and keep praying for a tropical storm or 3 days of rain, we'll take all we can get.

Happy crafting, Cyndy
