The 'rules' are the same:

This annie is in the flower, gardening theme. She has a primitive 'bloom' tag that is perfect for this time of year....

And the Winner is....

My son picked the winner tonight....congratulations Jana!
Thank you to everyone who visited and posted a comment....I appreciate it very much....I have plans to sew again this weekend, check back for pictures.
We've had rain for over a week, I'm hoping for some sun so I can get outside and tend to my flowers!!

(my apologies, I intended to pick the winner tonight and thought I put May 20th as the drawing date but I typed June 20th)

Sewing again....Annie Giveaway....

They say it's like riding a bike...you never forget. Well, that's how I feel about sewing. I received a couple of e-mails in the past days asking if I was still making dolls...it seems like ages since I've sewn anything; I do miss it....my sewing machine and fabrics have been in storage for a while. I decided to get everything together this morning to make an annie....I had so much fun and decided to have a giveaway with her....here are the rules:

*Post a comment and live in the United States...that's all.....

Hopefully I haven't stayed away too long to get comments!! LOL....I'll draw the winner on Friday evening, June 20th. (I apologize.. meant to say May 20th)

Thanks for visiting...

It's been a while....

Happy New Year...Wishing you a blessed 2011

I have the day off today and realized I've been a bad blogger when I looked and saw pumpkins on my blog in January....it's not for lack of projects to post....Since closing my business last year I've had time to explore several new crafting areas that I never had time for. My latest is knitting and I have to admit that I love it....I have always wanted to learn but not until a co-worker offered to teach me had I actually picked up a pair of knitting needles since grade school. I've been practicing on literally handfuls of scarves and am starting to move along to other projects. As I usually approach most things with near obsession, I now have a closet full of scarves and have been searching for organizations to knit for charity. My first project is the 2011 Special Olympics Scarf Project. Details can be found here....http://www.scarvesforspecialolympics.org/.
These are the 2 scarves I'll be mailing....

Of course I haven't totally abandoned sewing and made this cute holder for my needles and supplies(pink and tea dyed naturally)...and have found a new use for all the tote bags I made, they are great for holding works in process...

Here are a few of the other things that I've either completed or am still working on....

Wishing you a joyous and productive New Year....thank you for visiting...Nancy

Autumn Treasures

I havent' posted in a very long time...I'm taking a little break from making dolls and spent the past month or so making myself several tote bags. I don't usually sew for myself. This weekend's crafting project was needle felting these tiny little pumpkins and acorns. I've been admiring them on etsy and decided to make a few for myslef...they are so cute! The acorn tops are from my yard, the double one(tiny brown one in front) is my favorite....there are a couple of white pumpkins in the works but my needles broke...I think my wrist needs a little rest too...lol
The weather is turning colder here, we've had the wood stove going for a few days now....looks like Winter is on it's way...for now I'm enjoying the brisk Autumn air....thanks for visiting...
