WOW IT"S BEEN AWHILE!!!

Sorry I haven't been on my blog in quite some time. I've been busy reorganizing, doing the year end inventory, working on taxes and working  on some new designs...hope to have them done in the next several weeks.  I did manage to get a couple sheep done .

This one I made for a friend, I personalized it with her last name and the year she got married. I plan to sell these on Etsy , you will be able to buy ones that are personalized and ones that will just have Wool...a picture of a sheep... and the year 1887 on it. They are about 24" tall and 26" long. Will aslo be making them in a med. 18"  size and a smaller 12" size.

This one is around 13" Tall and 16" Long. I bought this shaggy cool material about 2 years ago not knowing

what I was going to use it for... I just knew I really liked it and one day I'd figure out what to do with it. lol  

I think it makes a prety good looking sheeps wool. I will aso be making him in the 18" size and 24" size and listing on Etsy.

GREAT FINDS!!!

Found these great stick pins and pins at the thrift store and some were even 50% off...wooo hooo made my day. Now I've got to get busy and make some pin keeps to put them on. As soon as I get them finished and listed on Etsy I will post some pics on my blog.

PIN KEEPS

See a pin and pick it up,
All the day you'll have good luck;

See a pin and let it lay,

Bad luck you'll have all the day.

Decided to work on a couple Pin Keeps. These are my own designs and were alot of fun to make. I have them listed on my Etsy Shop. http://crickethollowprims.etsy.com/ 

I've got a few more in the works and when I'm finished I'll post some pics. Heading to the thrift shops later in the week looking for old hat pins, needles, safety pins, bobbins and anything old and cool that I can ad to my Pin Keeps.
