A bit Late....

A big HELLO to everyone Hope you all had a lovely Valentine's Day!!!!;-)
I thought I'd share a pic of this little fellow I made.
I had participated in a Prim doll Valentine Swap, and my lovely partner
Heather from the U.K has received her little Romeo"ALFALFA". I just LOVE his paper-clay hair!! He was Inspired by the Little Rascals Short movie posted here on my blog!...And here he is looking quite at home..I never stop fiddling,fussin, and pokin with my dolls until they are packed up and gone, so that's why Heather's pic is just a bit different from mine...he,he. ;-)

God Jul!!!

Is the name of this piece and a traditional Scandinavian Christmas Greeting! ;-)...he's a Norwegian Christmas Nisse(similar to a gnome)
He is the protector /overseer of households and farms in Norway,.
He's holding feed straw to feed the barn animals, and children leave porridge for him on Christmas Eve..In return he leaves small gifts...but watch out!!
If porridge is not left for him..he will bring great mischief to your household!..LOL.so I have provided his little porridge bowl..
..Don't ya just love folklore!!..lol.;-)
Made using Nanny Norton's fairy pattern,( which I tweaked a good bit.).lol..I was inspired to make him in honor of my brother's family who live in Norway. His bride of 6-7 yrs is Norwegian, and they have 2 adorable little boys..Of course we miss them year-round, but especially during the holidays...
Anyway it is fun to learn other foreign traditions.
Oh Yes!!!...This little guy is available NOW in
my shoppe at LEMON POPPY SEEDS.

Now Available!!! New Offering!! All Tangled Up

This is my newest creation available now in my shoppe at Lemon Poppy Seeds marketplace.
The pic doesn't come close showcasing how cute he is!!..For more information on

Handmades for Halloween

Halloween is my favorite holiday!!..the fall crafting season is much too brief for me!
these are some of my last fall and Halloween offerings.. they will be available soon
on Lemon Poppy Seeds.

Character Book Swap(click the pics for a better view)

I belong to a primitive doll making group called Primraggchatters, and we recently made dolls for a Book Character Swap..My Friend Kathie of Little Cotton
Aprons and I decided on the additional challenge of doing characters from books written near our hometowns. The book I selected for my characters is Uncle Remus' Legends of the Old Plantation, written right here close by to where I live in Georgia. Pictured here is Uncle Remus with Brer Rabbit and the Tar Baby. I absolutely love how this vignette turned out!!..I hope Kathie likes it to!

And here is the Gorgeous Annabelle Lee, that Kathie made for me!!! I'm using her pic because I love her background better!.lol.;-D...Kathie is originally from Baltimore, Maryland, so that is why she chose a Character from one of Edgar Allen Poe's writings. Incidentally, he is one of my favorites!!
Thank You Kathie!!!...This was so much fun and I hope we can challenge one another again real soon!!xoxo

A Few Good Men...

Wow!...I am not believing how quickly the holidays are approaching!
I have been revving up since last month for the busy season...
These vintage-styled Old World Santa decorations have been keeping me really busy..
I have made 12 so far...I am accepting orders for them for a limited time.
I have several other works in progress too..In years past I have always found myself overwhelmed and burning the midnight oil in preparation...
I have never started my holiday gifts this early so I am hoping that this year will be different!;-)

Nanny Norton Primitives...A Test drive and Pattern Review...

I was recently given the privilege to test drive"Alice" a Nanny Norton design by primitive artist Deb Klopp. (The Queen of Hearts is also a Nanny Norton design, made at an earlier date.)
The best thing about Deb's designs is they are off the beaten path, and always include fantastic elements which are great fun!!
I made up two Alice's. One using osnaburg. So sorry..no pic of the osnaburg
dolly. While she was drying in the nice sunshine,the neighbor's pug stole
Alice off to Wonderland!!(Nope!..I'm NOT joking)..lol.. the other using
"super muslin" from wal-mart.
Hands down,..The muslin works best for these designs because the tighter weave
works best for unique shapes, and small doll parts.
There is usually always a good bit of painting involved in these designs, but please,
do not be intimidated!!!! Perfect for beginners, the instructions, and templates are so clear and easy, Deb will be making grand masters of us all!!!
To top it off, there are fun, inventive little trinkets to make to accessorize
the dolls...These creations are so fun and easy to do, you will not be disappointed...You can find these designs at Nanny Norton Prims, And Deb
also has a shop at Etsy.com Please check out all her other fabulous designs and other offerings.
