Primitive Star Candle Mat

2012-01-04T18:50:00.000-08:00

Here is one of my latest candle mats I've whipped up. This one is a favorite of mine for everyday use. Been busy trying to get back to crafting after the Holidays. Went to St. Louis, Tuesday, to take grandbaby Bryson to the doctor. Bryson was born with club feet and has been making trips to St. Louis for castings. Next week is surgery week. Then a longer stint with casts on. Thank goodness he's little, he won't remember it.

Right now I'm working on some Valentine candle mats. I will put those on when I finish them. I hope everyone had a nice Christmas and New Year. I'm glad it's over with. I love Christmas time but the last minute details really get to me. So, what am I doing now? ha ha! Planning for this year! ha ha.

LONG STOCKING HAT

2011-12-14T04:18:00.000-08:00

It's been a busy season for making items! This is one of 6 hats I've made this season! I'm selling these for 20.00 each and plan on making quite a few more this coming year. Just went last night and did some more Christmas shopping! Not quite done yet and am running out of time. But I'm just about to get a grip on it. Now to wrap all I've bought, that's a chore. Maybe I can get one of the daughters to come over and help. I picked up an afghan I started back in the Spring to start back on since I've left it alone for months. I need to get it finished up and start another one for my granddaughter for next Christmas. A busy year awaits me. I love it!

Happy Thanksgiving! Little Gavin is ready for the day with his crocheted turkey hat! Isn't this the cutest thing! My daughter made this for him just in time for the big day. I'm up early today to polish off some of those last minute goodies to be made. Grandson , Bryer spent the night and got up with me at 5:00 am. Just had to share this picture.

Primitive Gingerbread yo-yo candle mat

2011-11-22T19:38:00.000-08:00

Having a quiet night home alone. Just finished up this candle mat and put it on ebay. Thanksgiving is almost here and I developed a head cold. So, today I've sneezed and blowed my nose all day, let's hope it let's up in the next couple of days! Trying to stay away from the babies. I don't want them sick. Tomorrow is baking day. I've got 4 pies to make and practice some on making hot rolls. I've not mastered the rolls yet. Got a new mixer to see if that helps?

Holiday candle mat

2011-11-20T06:05:00.000-08:00

Here is a new Holiday candle mat, I've finally got finished! This one is a Santa candle mat. Just in time for the Holiday season. Been very busy these days with the 3 new grandbabies! I go to Bloomington, IL two days a week with my middle daughter, and watch the baby while she goes to school. She's going to be an Audiologist and this is her last semester of classroom work. So, I'm trying to help her out because she needs it. And her husband is in the Illinois State Police Academy and only gets to come home on the weekends. But just two and a half more months of that left. Then when I'm not there, I work part-time as a rural carrier and have picked up a couple of Saturdays this month so far. Wow! It's a busy time with Thanksgiving coming up, Christmas shopping, Shotgun deer season, babies coming to visit , and just normal stuff to do. But I'm trying to get in a few projects in between everything.

I started making these primitive yo-yo candle mats recently and put some on ebay. Some didn't sell, some did and some really went very good!

GIRL BABY AFGHAN

2011-05-29T18:18:00.000-07:00

Here is a little girls baby afghan i whipped up back in January. I've made another one since then but now, since we know we're having boys, I'd better get busy on some baby blue one's! Crochet is my favorite thing to do but, I also love to sew and paint. When I have time , a little wood working also.

PRIMITIVE WOODEN SIGN

2011-05-28T19:31:00.000-07:00

Got Crocks, Jugs or Jars? You may like this little sign to go with them! Just a little something for the home decor. I've sold some of these too, I do them in blue, black , and tan. This sign is also on ebay with a tan one. Like I said, I like to make things. Most crafters have more than one project going at a time. Or at least I do and I think my Brittany Jo does to! I love crocks and jars and have a small collection of blue mason jars. And will have a few crocks once we build a house to put them in. But, that may be a while. One never knows though?

PRIMITIVE KITCHEN TOWELS

2011-05-28T19:10:00.000-07:00

I've been busy this year, making something all the time! Here's my latest creation i've been working on . I have about four sets of these to finish in different homespun fabric. This set is black and tan checked with an Osnaburg stenciled panel along one edge. I love the primitive look it has with the crows and stars! I love making things and just put this set on ebay. Making more in blue and khaki plaid and whatever else I find in my craft room! These days there's always something to do, you know what I mean, yard work, house work, watering the flowers,but right now I'm in waiting. Waiting for 3 grandsons to arrive!!!!!!!! YES! 3 grandbabies coming all in September and they are all boys. I'm very excited! What a load of fun! The more, the merrier!

Primitive Easter Carrots

2011-02-26T16:35:00.000-08:00

I've been working on a few things this winter and have these cute Easter carrots that I made last year and did so well with. Yeah, I decided to make more. I sold over a dozen sets of these last year! I have some on ebay right now and am making more! These cuties are made from a chenile blanket and are painted, dried in the oven, and stemmed with raffia. Carrots measure approx. 15" long and are a large set. Great for a porch decoration or for your table or maybe just to set in a chair. If you would like a set , just contact me by email.

Just made some kitty cat bowl fillers and if I can figure out this computer stuff, I'll get a picture on. Whoo Whoo , I did it all by myself. I'm so proud! These are a set of 3 little kitties I made this week and have them on ebay. Been working on primitive candy corn and have some of those on ebay also. These guys have hand stitched faces and are approx. 4" tall. Aren't they cute? Well, since i've figured out how to put pictures on I can start blogging again. And a big HI to Brittany JO.

christmas stockings

2009-08-30T17:36:00.000-07:00

I've been busy crocheting and painting a lot these days. Painted a primitive step stool and some stuffed candy canes. Trying to get ready for a county fair, I'm entering a crocheted rug and one of my crocheted Christmas Stockings, and hopefully i'll get a pumpkin man made before the fair. I don't have pictures at the moment and as soon as I can get Brittany Jo to help me I'll get those on for you to see. I make traditional red and green with or without jingle bells and khaki ones with different colored tops with rusty jingle bells for the primitive look. Just staying busy with making items to sell.

This Time of Year

2009-08-12T15:47:00.000-07:00

Oh, My Gosh! I have been in the mood to make new items! The yarn and fabric is flying! Last night I made a candy cane pattern and found some muslin, that I bought at a rummage sale for a dollar and It was on! So, this morning , I drew out 8 and stitched and clipped curves and now they're ready to stuff. I've also been working on some crocheted candy canes for the tree. But, still have to get some jumpers cut out for my gingerbread dolls. Right now the mood has hit me to get to work on all the wonderful Holiday items I can make. I love this time of year with fall coming and the upcoming Holiday Season. It puts me in the mood to create. I know most of us gals that craft , usually have multiple items going at one time. When your tired of working on one , you just switch to another one for awhile. Or at least that's how I work. I just love It!

Crocheted Rugs

2009-08-08T01:12:00.001-07:00

It's BrittanyJo again, here to show you some of the rugs my Momma has made. Aren't these neat. I wish the pictures could show how big these things actually are. Nope, they're not doilies...They're RUGS! That's right... I said rugs. How pretty are these. I told my mom that I even think they would be pretty on a table or end table ... or even on the back of a chair. How cute!
As for now, I do not have prices for you all but I'm determined to have my mom blog with me...haha. So one of us will get the prices attached to her items soon enough. Thanks for stopping by and be sure to check in often. Mom makes more items QUICKER than I do... so there are sure to be some new items on here soon. I'm hoping that she can whip up some of her really cute little gingerbread dolls to show before too long. You'll love 'em!

P.S. On another note. I am going to throw this over to my mom for a while. I just wanted to get some things on here for you all to look at until she gets completely up and running. I will let you all know when it's ME. haha. Thanks again! -BrittanyJo
