Busy, busy,busy

Finally finished up an order for a wonderful customer, she has been so patient waiting for it. This is my Annie's Apple pie and The Olde Rooster. I have been working on this order for several weeks. Finally finished my chemo sessions last week. Hopefully won't have to have any more treatments until October, I have them every 6 months. I am so ready to be done with these, but unfortunately they won't ever end for me.  But now I can hopefully feel better again and get caught up on all my orders. I actually was jottingdown new pattern ideas last night or should I say at 3:30 in the morning.  I have a notebook full of ideas, now to find time to get them made up.



Made a few of these, they are from a Cat Nap Primitives patterns, love the dog, so simple and easy to make



another pattern by Catnap primitives, I love this cat.  I hope to get several of these guys made, in different colors.

this sno-Angel is from a pattern by Crow's Roost prims, I love how it turned out, very easy. I had an old quilt, I hated to cut up, but decided to make that first cut. Perfect color for the wings.

My mice are really selling well, I made over 25 of these, this ;past weekend. Here are some before grunging.

and yes, I used my good dinner plate. I painted them with a special grunge mixture.

these are ready to baked in the oven. I sprinkled with cinnamon before I baked them.

Here are some of the finished mice.  I make them on mousetraps and lot are ordering just the little mice to sit around.  I purchased a ton of mouse traps. I am sure they wondered if I had a mouse p

Raggedy Ann's for a wholesale order



It has been a busy week here for me. I have been making Raggedy Ann's and bears.  I had several request for these little grungy mice, so finished up some today. It was a nice sunny day and they didn't get completely dry and so I finished them in the microwave. Hubby wanted to know what that smell was. He is not much for cinnamon and clove smells.

Tomorrow is my 3rd chemo treatment. Only one more to go, then hopefully I get to go 6 months without doctor's visits.  So tomorrow,hoping, I can get to JoAnn's after my treatment, then get something to eat.

I have to say I have been lazy on the blog lately, the wholesale site has really taken off for me.  If you are interested in selling on our facebook page, please contact me.  Or if you wish to buy, Samantha and I have a private wholesale blog set up for our wholesale products. I have about a 3-4 week waiting period,can only imagine as it gets closer to the holidays. I can't believe all the fall and Christmas items showing up already.

I promise to post more often, I miss my blogging. I have been so busy lately, with not feeling well. But have to say today is the first day, I have woke up in along time feeling almost 100%. No pain today.  So hoping that is a good sign of things to come.

Where Have I been.

It has been way too long since I last posted.  I have been working hard on the wholesale site. Things are going great. We have a great group of sellers and buyers.  We are now having to limit the sellers, but if anyone is interested, please contact me and send pics of the items you want to sell. Of course, we are still looking for buyers, just need a valid tax Id, and shop/business name, address and we can set up with our facebook group or a page that Samantha and I have created for non-facebook users.  Just contact me or Samantha for info.

The bears above made from a Sweet Meadows farm pattern have been selling like crazy. Luckily a friend had some bolts of kunin shaggy felt, she never used and sold it me.  I should have enough felt to make tons of the bears now.

I have already started offering some of my fall stuff on the wholesale site, these pumpkins w/crows have sold really well.  These are made from a pattern by Chestnut Junction.  It is hard to believe that fall will be here in about 5 months from now.

This little Annie has also been a great seller for me.  She has the feedsack pillow and apron, I then found a pig tag that matches the pillow.

I started my cancer treatments again, last Tuesday.  Tuesday was a total waste for me. It took about  4 hours to get my treatment, then afterwards, so tired, I had to sleep most of the afternoon and evening.  I have 3 more to go in this round.  So hoping I won't have to have them again for another 6 months. That seems to be my schedule now, pet/scan and treatments 6 months apart.  The worst part, October will be the next time, that is show time. It seems like that time of year for the last 2 years have been the hardest for me, taking the treatments and trying to do my shows.  I have cut down to only 2 shows this year. My favorite one day show MacIntosh and the 3 day show in Jacksonville.  With the wholesale going so well, it is going to be a struggle to get enough made for the shows this year.

Well, I have the evening to myself now.  Time to get stitching again. Our Walmart finally has fabric back in, they still haven't gotten it all, still some empty shelves, but am happy to see the $1.50 and $2.00 a bolt fabric up there. 

I hope everyone has a nice weekend.

Happy Easter and new patterns

Happy Easter everyone. Hope everyone is having a wonderful Easter. The day is beautiful here, we had our Easter Celebration Samantha and Chris last night. I even made up an Easter basket for them. I don't think Samantha will ever get too old to get a basket from me.

I managed to get a new pattern finished. I call this one the Olde Rooster. He is made on an old candlestick and include feed sack graphic for pillow. I love this one. I love chickens and kitchen is full of them. Pattern is on the side bar if you are interested for $6.00. The Rooster is about 14" on candle stick and pillow is 6" x 8".

So many have emailed about the feed sack for their dolls, we have a pattern for those, this pattern includes 4 images for feedsacks. These are just the images, to use with freezer paper. pattern is on the side bar for $5.00.

Our wholesale group is growing and bigger and bigger everyday. We have some great craftsman and buyers. Sales have really been good. I am using Samantha's old room for storage for the doll's ready to ship out. Been really busy making dolls the last few days. I can only imagine how busy we will be closer to the holidays. Samantha has been busy with the feedsack pillows and her prim line of tarts are selling great. I have so many doll orders, my friend Melissa is helping me with the sewing. If you are interested in our facebook group please contact me, I have tried to get everyone that emailed me, but am sure I missed some. So if you are interested please contact me.
