Hi everyone! Time has just been flying by and I have not posted anything new in so long. I have been busy with, wedding, first communion and birthdays. I hope not to go so long between post again. Here are some pictures of what I have been doing and working on............ I started making grubby tags and I love it. I love the smell of them. family pics...... I am starting to work on some more dolls but with the warm weather coming back it takes more time to get them done. (spending more and more time outside with kids)

Hi everyone! Well yesterday was my birthday and this is just alittle of the fun I had!! My husband and little ones took me out for some good pizza ,came home and had birthday cake (made by my husband and youngest daughter) and then we color our easter eggs!! It was a great day!! This is Andrew , he only wanted to color green and pink eggs!! Guess you know what his favorite colors are. This Erika, her color is blue but she wanted to do one in each color!! This was a great finish to a nice day!!

*Tulip Annie* I finally got back to making a Raggdey Annie! I call this one Tulip and I think she turned out so cute. Each time I make one of these dolls , I love sewing them, doing the faces, adding their dresses. It is just a joy to see them come to life. Guess you could say I am hooked on Raggedy Ann's! Tulip has such a cute face and I love her braids! She looks so Springtime and I am so ready for Spring!! It was good to do another Annie for a change and I have a new one in progress already. This new Annie with be in shades of blues. Come back soon and check her out!

*Mr. Cottontail* I love how this guy turned out!! He is holding a easter egg but I also gave him a carrot to hold too! I think I need to make one for myself!!! I did keep my promise on my other bunny *Peter Cottontail* and I got one done for my 7 year old daughter. I have a feeling someday she will be my fellow crafter! She already is!!

*PETER COTTONTAIL* Hi everyone! You can tell what time a year it is again. Bunnys, chicks and eggs are popping up all over. There sure is alot of them on Ebay right now. This is my newest bunny I called him *Peter Cottontail* he is so cute!! I have him listed on Ebay right now. Hopefully he finds a good home! My 7 year old wants to adopt him so I promised to make her one all for herself!! I also have a few other items listed on Ebay right now and I will be getting some new raggedy ann dolls done soon and will be listing those. So if you have the time check out my Ebay!! I have start to work at designing my own template's and having fun with that. Will keep you posted on how that is going.

PRIMITIVE RAGGEDY BUNNY RABBIT DOLL I just finished this Prim Raggedy Bunny, using a pattern by Threadbare Primitives, and some of my own touches. She stands about 8 1/2" tall. She is ready for Spring. I made her body from cotton fabric in a shade of green with green stripes..... on her tummy and inside of ears is a cotton fabric with shades of blue/green and white daisies printed over it. Her face is hand stitched, and highlighted with paint. The hands are hand sculpted, and then she caught a blue butterfly . I will be including a hand printed, and scented hang tag, made by me ( I just forgot to add it to the pictures 0pps!). They come from my smoke and pet free home. If you have any questions at all feel free to ask and I'll get back to you as quickly as I can. I do check for messages often so I won't be long. "Colleen"

Springtime Raggedys!!

I finally finished two raggedy dolls and they are so cute! I dressed them both up in spring time dresses. This cutie I did up in a primitve springtime dress with black hair and a cute dolly of her own to hold!! This cutie has auburn hair and a sringtime green dress with a skirt that has chicks printed over it. She also has her best dolly along too!! I also did some more shamrocks. Must be the Irish in me wanting to do more shamrocks. I kept these primitive with a green fabric and handstitched the words on them. I prim them up with tea/vanilla/cinnamon too!! All are listed on Ebay right now. In the works are some really cute bunnys. Keep checking back to see them!!

Shamrocks

Hi everyone!! I did get those shamrocks done. Sorry it took so long to post. Here is a picture. They turned out so cute!! I also did some Easter eggs up to! Now I am working on some raggedy ann dolls for easter and spring. There are a few bunnys hopping around too!!

Shamrocks

Hi! I can't forget about St Pattys day! The irish blood in me won't let me. I have been working on some Shamrocks this Saturday. They still are in progress but hope to be listing them soon on Ebay. I still have to turn these guys in to little leprechauns. Hopefully that will start tomorrow because I can't wait to see how they turn out.

My new dollys!

I finished these really cute dolls up this week and posted them on Ebay! I love making these dolls. When it comes to dressing them and doing there faces thats were the fun begins. Its fun to pick out there fabric and dress them and then I handstitch there faces on and they just come to life. I hope they find a good home but I do enjoy them here at my home too!! I am going to try to sneak in a few St. Pats day items, I am working on some right now.

Happy New Year!

Wow I can't believe it already is 2008 and already the 5th. I have not been having any time to get on my blog and add to it. Hopefully, I can get on track and up date this more often in this new year. I have managed to get some hearts done and listed them on Ebay.

They have all been stuffed full and then I tea/vanilla stained and baked them and then rubbed them with cinnamon, they smell heavenly... I started some more raggedy annies with valentines, Spring, easter dresses. Even a few bunny rabbits are in progess.
