It's been a long time but I am finally updating

Hi everyone,

Once again I must apologize for being so long in updating my blog.The last couple months have been really busy for me.We have been working on our house again.We finally got the kitchen painted and Mark has been working on the bathroom that connects to our bedroom.That is a slow progress though and thank goodness we have another bathroom to use...LOL.I have found some time inbetween all the house work to make some Fall and Halloween things.Most everything I have made has already been sold but I am always glad to make more and I am in the process of making more Fall and Halloween things so I will have more pictures to post real soon.I have been busy making things for a local shop and I have had some other orders to fill.I am also getting ready for a new adventure and will be posting about it in the next week.I can't wait to tell you all about it but I want to have pictures to go with that post so you will have to hold out one more week.For now I hope you will enjoy seeing the pictures of somethings that I have recently made and as always if you see anything you are interested in just email me:

twellman@conninc.com

or for those that have my phone number just give me a call.I promise and I know I have said that before but I will try my best to do better at keeping my blog updated and since I will have more news and pictures to post I have lots to blog about.I hope everyone will have a great Labor Day!

Gooseberry Patch Christmas Books

Hi everyone!

I must apologize once again for being so slack in updating my blog but things have been really busy around my house.The garden is doing really good and we have been getting a lot of green beans,tomatoes,cucumbers and squash so Mark has started canning...yes,I said Mark does the canning and that is just fine with me because I just don't have the patience for it.I do help out though...I get to clean up the mess that he makes...LOL.I have also been working on some orders and trying to get started on Fall and Halloween things.We are also doing some major cleaning out at our house.I can't stand all the stuff that has just piled up and took over our guest bedroom and my sewing room looks like something has hit it so I am trying to clean out,throw away stuff and gather up stuff to have a really big yard sale.I came across some really nice books that I thought I would offer for sale here on my blog.They are the Gooseberry Patch Christmas books.I have books 1,2 & 3.They are all just like new.Book 3 is a hardback book and 1 & 2 are paperback.I paid $19.95 plus tax for each book but I will sell these books for $10.00 each plus shipping.I took a picture of them so you could see what they look like.If you are interested in these books just email me at

twellman@conninc.com and I will give you all the details.Well I guess I better go for now and get to my housework so I can go pick up some fabric that I ordered and get back home to finish an order.

I hope everyone will have a great week!

A doll for me

Hi everyone!

I hope you all are staying cool.It has been miserably hot her in my part of NC.We have been having 90 degree days and they are saying we could hit 95 tomorrow.I will be staying inside where it is cool!

I have been working on some dolls but the first one that I finished I made for myself.I rarely make anything for myself but I have decided that I am going to start and here is a picture of the doll that I made for me.She is a really big girl but oh so cute!She is already to do some gardening with her garden tool and watering can and her pet crow on her shoulder.I made her using a pattern by Angel and The Crow.I love Catherine's patterns!Today I have been working on some dolls that I have orders for and I am making a doll that will be a toaster cover for my Mom so I hope to have more pictures to share real soon.

I hope you all are enjoying your weekend and enjoying the hot days of Summer!

My new kittens

Hi everyone!

I know this post is not about anything primitive but I just had to make a post about my new kittens and show you a picture of them.A couple of months ago we lost our beloved cat Festus.We had him a long time so when he died it was pretty hard on us and we really didn't think we would want to get another cat but my MIL's cat had some kittens and all it took was one look at them and I had mine picked out...LOL.Well we ended up with 2...the one I picked out and Mark picked one.Mine is the beige one.It is a boy and I named him Ozzy.Mark's is the grayish black one and it is a girl and he named her Sharon...get it...Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne and yes they go at each other just like Ozzy and Sharon...LOL.They are so cute and so sweet!I hope you enjoy seeing the pictures of our new kittens!

Have a great day!

An apology and some new dolls

Hi everyone!

I would like to apologize to all my blogging buddies and to all that read my blog or follow my blog.I have been really slack in updating my blog but I promise to do better starting now.So much has been going on around my house and it just seemed like time flew by and there was no time to post and anyway I really had nothing exciting to post about and I had not been doing much if any crafting so I had no new pictures to share.Mark's Grandpa has been in and out of the hospital for over a month and had to go into a nursing home for a few weeks for rehab but he came home Wednesday.He has had a heart attack and a mild stroke and has had alot of medical problems.He seems to be a little better but I think that is because he is finally at home where he can be comfortable.We have spent alot of time going back and forth to the hospital and the nursing home but finally things are starting to calm down and get back to normal...whatever that is...LOL.I have got back to my sewing and I have made somethings.I just finished these cute Sam and Libby hanging dolls.They were made from a pattern by TFC Folkart.I made a black set and a white set.If you are interested in them just email me at

twellman@conninc.com and I will give you all the details.I have more things that I am currently working on so you will be seeing more pictures real soon.I am working on Americana things that would be great for Summer and 4th of July decorating.I am also working on some new primitive dolls.I am going to try my best to do better with keeping my blog updated.I hope everyone will have a great weekend!

Prim hugs,

Tammy

Finally back joining in on Whatcha Workin On Wednesday

Hi everyone,

I am back from my much needed break.It really wasn't much of a break being that I spent most of it doing housework,yard work and I helped Mark get the garden planted.I did take a little break from sewing but to tell you the truth I got bored...I never get bored...LOL,so last week I got back to the sewing.I didn't push myself,just did a little sewing each day and some stitching at night.I wanted to get back to joining in on Whatch Workin On Wednesday and I did it!I have been working on some mice...yes,I said mice but they are the cutest little mice!I used a pattern by Stacey of Ravens Haven.Thanks Stacey for such a great pattern!I love how these cute little mice turned out.The 4 in the picture are for sale and I made a 5th one for a friend for her birthday.I sure hope she will like it.I have also been using some of my prim labels that I bought awhile back from Yankee Lane Primitives.Someone gave Mark a jar of Molasses awhile back and it has just been sitting on a shelf in the kitchen because I don't care for molasses unless they are baked in something....it just reminds me of motor oil...YUCK!Anyway when I was going through my labels I came across one that said Molasses and a light when off in my head...LOL...I put it on that jar of molasses and took some stained osnaburg and made a topper for it.It turned out great!I took a picture of it but please look past that ugly wall paper in the background,it will soon be painted and then I will show you some nice pictures of my kitchen.Well that is all I have for today.I guess I better get back to my laundry...something else I can't seem to stay ahead of...LOL.

Have a great day!
