Update on Fires and such

Hi, just a quick update --the fires are still contained, we still have had no measurable rain, triple digit heat and nothing but smoke.  But we're still here. Tomorrow we are hoping for some rain finally, keep your fingers crossed, I know some of you are getting lots of rain, so send some our way! please.

I am so ready for fall and some cool weather.  I am working on this scarecrow, the pattern is from Sweet Meadows Farm.  I love her designs.  Finished painting his tennis shoes and stained the gloves, now for the fun part, clothes and adding his straw.  there is also a large prim chicken that goes with him.

 This is another favorite of mine, from Old Road Primitives, this little guy was popular last year.

I was catching up on blogs the other nite, and saw that the Polka Dot Primitive Pig had a lot of new designs using old tins and such.  She had a doll on a big jar with balls of crochet thread in it.  She has a new Mammy Pattern out that she used for the design, until I can order it, I used another pattern by  Ragg Baggs and turned her into a stump doll and used some fabric, Jennifer of Stitchin Thyme had sent me, with the buttons and attached her to a pint jar and added buttons and thread to the jar. Mine is not as prim as Polka Dot Primtive Pigs, but I was happy with her.

 Also, starting some Christmas decorations, this tree topper has always been popular.

 and of course, some more Halloween items, another bagholder, using a Sweet Meadows Farm pattern.

and another Halloween doll.  I found those mini  alphabet stamps at Michaels, for $1.00 each for the set.  They are perfect for those small round tags.

I hope everyone has a great end of the week.  And please send us some rain.  Cyndy
