Peter pumpkin.....& his kitty cat

Here is Peter Pumpkin....with his kitty cat pal in his pocket!

He is holding a tag that says "Forget the candy....it's all about the pumpkin seeds".

This is my newest pattern...which is in my etsy shop, patternmart and website (my website always has printed and mailed patterns- if that is what you prefer).

Pumpkin doll measures: 21" long, 5 1/8" wide

Have a horribly happy Halloween with this adorable skinny Pumpkin doll...he has a candy corn button, a leafy collar and a sweet kitty in his pocket. This is a fun mix of Prim & cute. Fast, takes simple supplies, & is easy! Comes with 6 tags for the doll to hold.

Sweet kitty!

Tags say: Forget the candy it's all about the pumpkin seeds, Welcome great Pumpkin, Trick or treat be so sweet give me something good to eat, Merry scaring to you, Halloween frightful yet delightful, and I'd like to be witchya on Halloween.

They come as this collage sheet that fits on a normal sized piece of paper......the tags could have all kinds of uses!

Hang them around the house, add to dolls, add to a place setting, use as an embellishment in scrapbooking....the skys the limit.

Come to Thrifty Thursday, the Party Bunch and Pin me linky party...for ideas and fun!

Christmas projects for July

It is a scorcher outside today....so I went right back inside next to the air conditioner.

I am very thankful for the things we have!

I thought I might make some Christmas projects.

Here are some of my patterns from the past!

Wish upon a snowflake is above.

These are all in my Christmas section on Etsy.

These embroidered Christmas ornaments will be featured in the Somerset holidays issue coming out later this year!

They are simple yet sweet....I stitched them in blues, pinks and greens for a soft look.

This is a real quickie...and just framed in the hoop I used to stitch it.

These frost fellows make kids smile....

I gave them a shabby chic look....but they would also be adorable in traditional colors.

I love bunnies....they are not just for Easter....lol

The fun wintertime wool pattern was in the keepsake quilting catalog when it first came out....I was so happy about that.

This is the second one I did.....I like the angel a lot.

This is the second pattern I ever made.  Easy embroidery and acrylic painting....painting it on like I would color with crayons....not hard at all.

I loved this one....it is near and dear to my heart.   I loved stitching it all up and making a cohesive quilt and pillow.

My french country burlap ornaments....very popular.

But so are the glitter retro ones too.  Crazy bright felt...reminds me of my childhood.

Needle felted designs and wool gingers....very fun

I made mannequins for everything...including a Santa one.  Very different

Ok....even Marie Antoinette needs a Christmas tree of shabby chic french ornaments.....right!

My prim stocking....with tag designs

The designs come in the pattern...you print...add a little colored pencil in areas for color....so easy

Raggedy Ann candy cane with mice quilt....she has them on her and in her pocket.

The huge candy canes are a huge hit.....much easier than it looks

Stockings, mittens , and stars for Christmas.  You get the photos.....but you could use your own family.

Candy cane for Santa

Christmas bouquet.....a prim stitchery.

These are only some of my Christmas designs.

I have alot more....plus signs and collage sheets with tags.

 

Stay cool...think frosty thoughts!

 

 

Come to the party bunch, the pin me linky party, and thrifty thursday...many cool ideas!

French Country burplap ornaments



I am still sick with the dreaded cold....that seems to never end by the way!

I did however complete this simple yet pretty pattern for these french burlap ornies.

These are fun to make.

They are easy, fast, and make great gifts. This is so simple, sweet, and natural.....use burlap or tweed....make a set in no time! There are 9 designs included in the pattern....Snowman, holly, snowflake, bird, tree, hearts, stars, bell, and candy cane.

Use these ornaments for a gift tucked in a card, hang them around your decor, on the tree, as package toppers, and as a table setting gift.

They are also on my Patternmart!
