In The News


So today I was in the newspaper for my etsy shop!! It was a pretty good article! It was nice that the picture on the front page of the Home & Garden section was big, but it was kind of dark and you could hardly make out my items that I had made in front of me. :( Oh well....here is a link to the newspaper article

Listed this WELCOME sign that I made out of muslin and cotton batting on etsy late last night.

Something New


Finished up this door hanger yesterday and listed it on etsy. Been busy working on my patterns and getting more things listed on etsy. It's so exciting to see more and more primitive crafters joining etsy. I have joined a great group on etsy called Old Farmhouse Gathering. We are a group of artisans who create anything from primitive to shabby chic with a old fashioned flair. The group is growing everyday because so many crafters are moving to etsy.

My Etsy Shop in the News!!


I am so excited!! My Local newspaper is going to do a feature on Etsy shops in my area and they asked me to be part of it! Woo Hoo! They came today and took pictures and asked me a lot of questions about my work and my shop. This is very cool! The article is going to run in the Sunday paper on March 30. Also today listed my pig make do on Etsy. Isn't he the cutest??!! I think I might have to make one for myself!

Folk Art Bird


I finished up this guy today and listed him on etsy. Let's see how well it does. For some reason I can't stop making birds! LOL Maybe because I look at them all day on the bird feeder that I have on my window! The Goldfinches are starting to get their bright yellow feathers. They are the ones that have been at my feeder the most this winter.

Another e-pattern added


Got another pattern request for my primitive crow make do that I have listed on ebay and etsy. It's a pretty simple and easy pattern. I have it listed on 3 different places, ebay, etsy and patternmart.com.

3 little birdies


These are some bird ornies that I have been making for quite a few years now. Thought I would make up a batch and sell them on etsy. Sales have been picking up on etsy lately! Yay!! Finally feeling like I am getting back into the creative mode now, after a big break.

Primitive Crow Make Do


Just newly listed on etsy, is this sweet little crow make do. He sits on a old wooden textile bobbin with a little bit of rusty star garland wrapped around the base. I think he is so sweet with his little sparkly star hanging from his beak.

Another Americana Pattern


Just finished up another Americana pattern by request. This pattern I made up last year as well. Its a little different then the stars and stripes one. But both of them are the same size when finished. 11" tall by 11 1/2" wide.

New Pattern


Just recently listed another one of my Americana patterns on etsy and patternmart.com. This was from a item that I sold on ebay last year and did quite well with. It's a great door hanger for your Americana decor.
