~Sweet Chloe~

Listed on Ebay Wednesday night...


Chloe celebrates Spring with a tiny pink blossom and a glittery Easter egg.

I love these tiny bunnies so much I'm thinking I may do a series of them. Chloe celebrating different holidays or other special days, such as a birthday. What do you think?

I know I'm ready to celebrate Spring.

~home is where the heart is~

I hope your Valentine's Day has been a happy one. Valentines, of course, make us think of hearts. With hearts and home in mind I created this more primitive style doll for the Early Work Mercantile update. (Note: she does have hair, wool curls individually stitched in place) This is a more primitive, early style site with needleworks, soaps, dolls and other needful items for your home. I hope you'll take a look, it updates on the first and the fifteenth of the month.

I've wanted to return to some simpler, more primitive dolls for some time. I will continue to make the more finished folk art dolls also. I like both styles and I'm happy to have been asked to join EWM so I can now do both.

Along with ~Home is where the Heart is~ I will also have a rabbit doll. The site should be updated by 10:00 P.M. (eastern time) tonight. If you see something of mine you're interested in just email me.


I'm completing two orders and will hopefully have something finished for Ebay soon.

I'm heading now to get ready for my favorite night of TV, Antiques Roadshow, American Pickers and Cash and Cari.

Enjoy your evening.

~brother & sister bunnies~

Tonight this set of brother and sister bunnies will be listed for sale on Ebay.

Boy bunny with carrot.


Girl bunny with strawberry.



I'm really busy sewing for the PFATT Marketplace update on the 10th, I have to have my doll for that ready by tomorrow. I'll try to post a picture of it here later this week.

If you're a fan of football and the Super Bowl enjoy your day! I think the commercials during the game have gotten to be almost a bigger deal than the game itself. Hope your favorite team wins!

Back to my sewing, I'll have another post later in the week.

~updates~

I have several things going on right now and just don't get to blog very often. I'm busy finishing up a shop order and an order for a couple of my dolls for a very nice customer.

I've also joined the site Early Work Mercantile. I'll be updating there on the 15th of each month. If you haven't visited this wonderful group of early/primitive artists click on the link in my sidebar and take a look.


I have just about finished my next offering for Ebay. It's a sweet, tiny bunny set that will debut Sunday evening. I'll post a picture here soon.

Also, I wanted to let all of you antique/folk art lovers know about a great show coming up Feb. 12th at the Augusta Expoland in Fishersville, VA. I went to the show last Feb. and it's worth anybodies time to go! There were fabulous primitives with original finishes, lovely folk art and also primitive books and magazines that were offered by some of the vendors. The link for the show is also in my sidebar. It takes you to their site where you can find more info and a list of the vendors and dealers. I hope if you're anywhere in the area you'll go, I know you'll be happy you did.

~wishing you each a happy weekend, mine will be spent sewing~
