Whatcha Workin On Wednesday




Hi everyone,


I am finally getting a chance to post my Whatcha Working On Wednesday.I finished the bunny for my sister and I thought I would post the finished picture of it.It is just a little stained because my sister is not crazy about primitives.She let me stain the body so it would look like a natural brown color but she would not let me "dirty up"(her words...LOL) the clothes.It was all I could do not to stain those clothes...LOL.I made the bunny from a Sunnyknoll pattern.I have also been doing some painting on some wood trenchers that my hubby and I made over the weekened.I got the instructions for making them from Char's blog The Pickled Pepper Patch...I love her blog and she has the best patterns and projects and she takes you through them step by step.My hubby is not a wood worker...LOL....he is great with cars...can tell you what is wrong with them just from listening to them,fix them,paint them etc. but give the poor guy a piece of wood and he is lost...LOL.When I saw the trencher project I knew I had to have one so I started the sweet talk and even made him look at the instructions on Char's blog and he said ok we will give it a try and Saturday we went to Lowes and got the wood and made 2 trenchers,one for me and one for my friend.I was pleased with how they turned out and proud of my hubby too!He is even wanting to try making something else now that he sees how Char gives the step by step instructions so hopefully I will be getting more prim goodies!I have been in the process of painting the trenchers and the picture shows the first one I started painting yesterday.I will post the finished pictures of them.My friend is getting one of them for her birthday.Well that is what I have been working on other than stuffing some birds to go on springs.I better get back to that painting.


Have a great day!

Prairie Rabbit Ornies











Hi everyone,




As promised I am posting pictures of some of the things that I finished from my What You Working On Wednesday.Yesterday I finished these cute little Prairie Rabbit Ornies.I made them using a pattern by Sweetpeas Primitives.They are so cute with their Spring colored dresses and cute little chicks in their arms.They are about 10 inches tall.I used a yummy smelling prim staining mix to give them that grungy prim look and they smell so good!These little cuties are for sale and if you are interested in them you can email me at:








I will be taking some to the shops too.I have been trying to get the bunny for my sister finished and it is just about done.I hope to work on it today so I can post finished pictures of it hopefully tomorrow.




I hope you will enjoy seeing the pictures of my rabbit ornies and I hope everyone will have a great weekend!




Prim hugs,

I made a bunny for Me







Hi everyone!



Finally I am updating my blog.I have had so many things in the works and finally finished a bunny...a really big bunny...LOL...and I made it for me!I never make anything for myself but ever since I bought this pattern last year,yes ,last year....never got around to making it but I was bound and determinded to make it this year for myself.Usually everything I make goes to the shops I consign at,or for the shows I do or for my family and friends but lately I have decided that I am going to start making somethings for myself.So I started with this really big primitive bunny.I made it from a pattern by Angel and the Crow.Catherine has the best patterns.I love her primitive designs!I am really pleased with the way my bunny turned out.I rag stuffed it and it is so heavy and has the really old look to it.I really wanted to go ahead and put her out in my livingroom because she looked so good sitting in the old chair that my friend Sundae gave me for Christmas but I fought it and put her away in my sewing room at least until the first of March.I am so ready for Spring but I know there is still some Winter left and this morning it is showing as we are getting freezing fog so I will hold off on the Spring decorating for another couple of weeks.I have more bunnies in the works but one is for my sister and the others will be going to the shops.I finally joined in on the fun of Watch You Workin On Wednesday over at Leslie's blog http://sweets-mycountryhome.blogspot.com/ so I will be back on Wednesday with a post about what I have been working on.



Prim hugs,

Super Bowl Sunday and a drawing over on Jackie's blogspot

Hi everyone!
Well it's Super Bowl Sunday and I guess everyone is getting ready for the big game.I don't care much for it myself except for the commercials and the entertainment but it is a big deal for my hubby even though his team is not playing.He LOVES football!He watches it all the time so you know where he will be today....well he is already watching it...LOL.I plan to spend the day playing on the computer and making his snacks.I have already baked a cake and I am getting ready to make a cheeseball.Later this afternoon I am going to make a crockpot Mexican dip.I think that should hold him for snacks...LOL.I also plan to work on a big bunny that I am making.I started stuffing it yesterday.I am rag stuffing it and boy is it taking a lot of rags!When it is finished I will post pictures of it.
I also wanted to tell everyone about the great drawing that Jackie is doing on her blog http://tfcfolkart.blogspot.com
