Honeybunch and Clarabelle - an extreme primitive pattern by Pineberry Lane. I had a lot of this made a while back, but then I lost some of the body parts, and had to make them again. I'm glad to have this all finished.



Extreme primitive Sunflower doll

Made this last week from a pattern by Catnap Primitives. This doll took me quite a while to make. Don't have a name for her so she's just a sunflower doll. How un-original LOL!


She'll be up in my Etsy shop soon.

I'm still here :-)

Hi everyone! Just thought I would quickly post to say I haven't disappeared. I just have taken a little break. I'm hoping to get some new things made soon since I haven't made anything the past couple of months.

Today is my sweet daughter's 8th birthday. I have to get her cake made today, and I am hoping I can decorate it the way I have it pictured in my mind. I need to go buy some frosting though as the frosting pack that comes with the cake mix never seems to be enough. After I get back home and get the cake started, I need to clean the house, as my in-laws will be coming over for my daughter's birthday.

A busy day for me. So, until next time.......

Purely Primitive Dolls craft book

A few days ago over on the Mercantile Gatherings Magazine Facebook page, they mentioned a craft book called Purely Primitive Dolls: How to Make Simple, Old-Fashioned Dolls. It's by Barb Moore of The Primitive Oswald.


The book hasn't been released yet, but it set to do so in July, and you can pre-order the book on Amazon. It looks like it would be a fun book to have, whether you're new to primitive crafting or have been crafting a long time. I don't really know anything more about it though.

Anyway, I just thought I would pass that on in case anyone else is interested.

Harvest Pumpkin with crow and sunflower

I tend to make things that go along with the American seasons, rather than Australian seasons. It's funny - I've been in Australia 18 1/2 years, and I still find it hard to have the winter season starting in June, and Christmas in summer, etc...

Anyway, I added my Harvest Pumpkin with crow and sunflower to Etsy. I have a few things to add soon as well.


Autumn Ginger and pumpkin

Just finished making this last night - Autumn Ginger and pumpkin. It's a pattern by Chestnut Junction.



I wasn't sure if I was going to finish it because my sewing machine has been acting up. As far as I could tell, it was a tension problem. I haven't changed the tension setting at all and haven't had problems before, so not sure why it was acting up. I think it's ok for the moment. I changed the thread and it seems to be ok. Fingers crossed.

Primitive Crow Witch and Jack Frost Cat and Snowman

My latest projects I have finished. The Primitive Crow Witch is a pattern by Kim Kohler of Veenas Mercantile. I have had this pattern for, gosh, I don't know how long now. I never could get the pattern to print right, and I think that put me off at the time for trying to make it. But I finally got it to print right, and think it turned out great. Not the easiest to pose though.







Is it too early to make Christmasy stuff? Maybe I will wait a little before I add this to my Etsy Shoppe. But this is Jack and Frost, a pattern by Blue Moon Beginnings.





I think these guys are really cute!

Finished up this sweet decorative pillow today. I decided not to coffee/tea stain it. I don't know if I should or not actually. Anyway, the design is from a pattern by Bird in The Hand Primitives.






I think it turned out cute, and was fun to make. It will be up in my Etsy shoppe soon.

My first custom order

It's been a quiet past few months for me on here as my folks have been visiting since the beginning of December, and they go back to the US in 1 1/2 weeks. Not looking forward to that at all. But I know they need to get back home.

Anwyay....

I don't normally do custom orders because I don't like the pressure know I have to make something and hoping the customer will be happy with the final project. Someone asked me though my Etsy page if I was able to make a pumpkin and sunflower like I have in my shop, but without the crow or letters on the pumpkin. So I said I would do it. I was nervous knowing I needed to get it made as soon as possible so I didn't keep the customer waiting. I did it and thankfully they were happy with the final outcome. Here's how it turned out...





It was a big relief to have it all finished, mailed off and received at the other end.

Extreme prim doll

Here is a doll I finished making today, and have entered it into a doll challenge. This little gal is extreme prim. Haven't decided if I want to sell her yet or not.



Extreme Prim doll - The Tooth Fairy.

0
0
This is my latest extreme prim doll - The Tooth Fairy. I really procrastinated with her. But she's crazy for sure!!! My daughter (she's 8) wanted me to make a fairy, and I was trying to think how to do it. Then tooth fairy popped into my head and I went with that. My daughter said she just "had" to have red hair, so I used some reddish mohair. Various homespun fabrics for the dress, rusty safety pins holding the dress straps over the shoulders. She holds a tooth in one hand (attached with rusty safety pin), and has a tooth bag and her sparkly tooth wand on the other arm. She is 14 inches tall. She comes signed and dated by me.

Going to sell her through a prim doll group I am in, and if there are no takers, she'll go to my Etsy shop.

Primitive Mammy Doll with baby

The past few months I have really been procrastinating on making anything. It happens to me every year around this time. I start working on things for particular holidays, and I never finish the items in time for the holiday. But I finally got around to finishing a doll for everyday decor. This is a primitive mammy doll made from a pattern from Chestnut Junction. Hope you like her. She's in my Etsy shop now.

Working on my next OOAK doll

I haven't made a OOAK doll for a while now, so finally found some motivation to start on a new one. Hopefully she will turn out well. I have 2 different ideas for her, but I am not sure which I will go with. I'm only in the stuffing body parts stage, but here is what I have so far. Kind of looks like E.T. doesn't it? LOL!






I think stuffing is my least likely favorite part of doll making. I just want to get to the good parts on designing it. I'll get there!

Coming along on my doll

The other day I finished up the doll's body, coffee staining and baking and painting and sanding. And just finished the face today. I'm not sure what the metal piece I made the nose is from. I saw it laying around and finally decided to pick it up and do something with it. Glad to get this much done so far.

Yay, I finished my doll. Please meet Rosie Posie! She's an extreme primitive doll. Really love how she turned out, and especially love her face. She is now sold. Thank you!
