My new pattern

Hi everyone! Christmas came and went so fast. Before I knew it a new year had arrived. Got all the holiday decorations cleaned up and packed away. Celebrated a Grandson's 15th birthday. Wow, 15! Then I got busy creating. And here is the first finished new creation of 2016. This Long Tall Tia. She finishes at about 34" tall.  She has a hanging strap added to the back of her neck for some homespun decor. I have her pattern in PDF form for sale in my Etsy Shop here. 
Also will be available in my Craftsy shop and on our website soon. There are links on the left side of this page for those. I'd love some feedback on my blog, my patterns, or whatever you'd like. Please drop us a note, we'd love to hear from you.

Hi everyone! OMG it has been way too long since I posted anything. I apologize for that. But I'm still getting past a very difficult year. I'm trying to be positive about life in general. I am slowly getting my crafting mojo back. Still too many sad days. Each morning I pray for it to be a good day, and hope to accomplish something each day. I try my best to have some little drops of awesome each day, no matter how small.
I'm working on some new quilting patterns. I will post them here once I get them done. But that will be quite awhile. I have an idea for about 12 new patterns. The ideas flow out of my brain a lot faster than I can create these things!! hahaha
I have a Chef Pierre Bag Holder doll partly made for a custom order. He is such a great seller. Here's a couple pictures of the Chef dolls I make.

Getting the Crafting Mojo

It's been a few months now and I'm getting my crafting mojo back. I made a raggedy doll the other day, she is up on Ebay for auction. Tell me what you think of her. Vintage Hankie Raggedy Doll

Scrap Bag Auction
I have added scrap bags for sale, so much can be done with scrap bags. They are color coordinated. Each weigh about 2lbs.Above is just a sample of one of the scrap bags for auction over on my my Ebay Store page.

 I also have added button and carpet thread from Coats and  Clark. I have 5 colors available, free shipping in the United States. 

I use this thread to hand sew all the doll body parts onto  their bodies, and it's a great heavy duty thread for sewing on the doll hair as well. Doll makin' thread here

Wow time flies. I must apologize--- it has been so very long. No excuses, just quite busy creating, filling orders, and life in general!! Here is my newest pattern. LCC Large Ornie, Santa Door Greeter! He is about 19" tall when finished. I include very easy detailed instructions and drawings. His eyes are handpainted and you trace them onto your fabric and follow the easy painting instructions step by step. You can even use permanent markers instead of paint for the eyes. I made him from plush felt and Debbie Mumm Christmas fabric. I will have the PDF pattern available very soon. I put the red hatted Santa on Ebay and he sold right away too. Until next time.... I hope it is sooner than this last time in between writing.

My Helper!

I got out the fabric, opened up the pattern, set the instructions down on top of the fabric, turned around to get the scissors and this is what I see when I turn back around!!

This is Pebbles, she loves to help me!! She sometimes lays behind the sewing machine and puts her paws in there when I'm sewing!! What a clown!

No wonder it's taking me so long to get these costumes done!

Hi all. Sorry for so long between posts. I keep quite busy and sometimes find it hard to make time to get on here. Right now I'm on the hunt for an apron I cut out over a month ago. I set aside to sew later and now I can't find it!! Yes, I have that much in the way of fabric and supplies! 

Just wanted to update everyone that I had to retire my green homespun with the red hearts fabric that I use to make the scented coasters. My distributors tell me it is discontinued and I can not find even a little piece anywhere. So I am posting a picture of the fabric replacing it. As you can see it is a tan and black with tiny red hearts. A bit different than the other but still a great homespun all the same.
