A new Uncle Sam doll

Hi everyone,

Well it has been a long time since I posted and I thought I better post to let everyone know I am still here just have been really busy.I have been blessed with several orders and I put those first and after the orders I am still working on my house.I think the house projects are going to be never ending...LOL.Now there is the dreaded yard work added to that list too.I have also been doing some swaps which is so much fun!I am working on swaps right now along with making some new things.I finally made an Uncle Sam doll.Well I made up 2 but I just finished one of them.It is a black Uncle Sam.I love how it turned out!I love black dolls!I made it from a Bittersweet pattern.He has a bottle cap pin pinned to his hat,rusty safety pins on his shirt and on his boots.He holds his primitive flag that has a rusty bell pinned on it.Today I will be finishing a white Uncle Sam just like the black one.The black one is for sale if anyone is interested in it.You can email me:

tammywellman14@yahoo.com

and I will give you all the details.Well I guess I better get back to work.I hope to have another post tomorrow with pictures of the white Uncle Sam.Have a great day everyone!

I am back....again

Hi everyone,

I need to apologize once again for being so slack in updating my blog.Things have been crazy around my house.We are still working on our house and we ordered new livingroom furniture and a new mattress and they were finally delivered last Friday.So you know I have been redecorating and doing a lot of tweaking and when I think I am happy with everything I look around and don't like anything and start tweaking again.In between working on the house and getting the new furniture I was sick and am just now starting to feel better.It was some rough stuff and it put me behind for a few days.I am feeling so much better but still have the cough and from what I am hearing it hangs on for awhile....I wish it would go away...LOL.

I have also been very blessed with some orders and have been working on those and making somethings for myself.I have so many things that I want to make but there just doesn't seem to be enough hours in the day...LOL.Hopefully it won't be too much longer and I can post some pictures of the new things I am making.I have been making lots of bonnets lately.I have been blessed with orders for them and I have made a couple for myself.I have attached a picture of one I made for myself.

Well I just wanted to make a post to let everyone know that I am still here and I will attach some pictures of my new livingroom furniture but just remember I am still tweaking and moving things around and I have some new signs that I need to get hung too but at least you can see the new furniture.I am very pleased with it.I hope everyone will have a great week!

Thinking Spring

Hi everyone!

I hope you are staying warm.It has been so cold and windy here in my part of NC and now they are saying that sometime today we will be getting that white stuff....SNOW...that I don't like.They are not quite sure if it will be all snow or a mix of rain and snow with little accumulations...you can guess which one I am hoping for...LOL.Right now it is coming up on 7am and so far no snow...yeah!I am so ready for Spring so I have been thinking Spring.I have been making bunnies,chicks,carrots,eggs and lots of other stuff for Spring and Easter.I hope you will enjoy seeing the pictures of some of the things I have been making.Maybe they will have you thinking Spring too!As always if you see something that you are interested in just email me:

twellman@conninc.com give me a call or leave me a comment and I will help you as much as I can.I have been busy making things for a local shop and I am having so much fun making all of the bunnies and things for Spring.I also still have my booth at Great Finds Antique Mall so if you are in Hickory please stop by.I would also like to say thanks to the great pattern designers Chestnut Junction,TFC Folkart,Kentucky Primitives and Pineberry Lane for the great patterns that I used to make the bunnies,chicks,etc. I have been making.

Mark and I have been furniture shopping for the last couple weeks and finally last Tuesday we found the perfect livingroom furniture and got it all ordered.We had to order it so I could get the fabrics and colors that I wanted.We have another couple weeks to wait on it to get here.I can't wait!We also bought a new mattress.We needed a new one really bad.I am also getting a new bed but I am still shopping around for it.I have found a couple that I like but I still want to see what a few more furniture stores have to offer before I decide.Hopefully it won't be too much longer and you will see a post with pictures of my new furniture.Mark and I have been married for 13 years and we have bought no new furniture in that time except for an entertainment center for the tv and Mark's stereo equipment.So I am very much excited!Well I guess I better get myself to work on more bunnies and some stitchery pillows.Thanks for visiting my blog!I hope you will visit again soon!

Prim hugs,

Snow,Snow and More Snow

Hi everyone,

I know it has been a long time since I updated my blog but life just got in the way.I have had several doctor appointments but glad that all of that is done for another year and everything looks good.I have also been busy making things for a local shop and trying to make a few things for myself too which is rare...I never make anything for myself but I have decided to start.

All week on the weather reports they have been saying that we were going to have a very big snow storm to hit us starting Friday and going through to Saturday night and they were right.It started snowing at my house yesterday at 4:30 and it came down really heavy all through the night.It started sleeting early this morning and has continued to through the morning and at times there has been light snow too.If you know me you already know that I do not like snow.I do not go out in snow and I will not drive if there is even a trace of snow on the roads but I did bundle up and went out in the snow this morning to take some pictures.It is really pretty but I am ready for it to stop and melt and go away but I know that is not going to happen because the temps are to fall through the day and they are already talking about another round of this mess coming through late next week.I don't know when I will ever get out of this house!Anyway I hope you will enjoy these snow pictures.I also wanted to put in a picture of a doll that I made for my friend Sundae for Christmas.I made it using a pattern by Angel and the Crow.I love Catherine's patterns.I was really pleased with how this doll turned out and I even made one for myself but I still need to finish the pears to go with mine.I am busy working on things for a local shop.I have been sewing lots of bunnies and stitching some Spring and Easter stitcheries to make into pillows.I have bunny head ornies on my sewing table that need to be finished so hopefully you will get to see those soon.They are looking pretty cute so far.I will go for now and wait to see if my crazy hubby makes it back from the store.He just had to get out in the snow...thank goodness for 4 wheel drive.Enjoy the weekend and stay warm!

Update on my booth

Hi everyone!

I must apologize once again for being so long in updating my blog.It just seems there are never enough hours in the day and now that the holidays are fast approaching things are getting even busier.I wanted to take time to let everyone know about mine and Sundae's booth at the antique & craft mall.The owner of the mall was having some problems with a leak in the roof in the area where our booth was so he asked us to move into a different booth so we spent Wednesday moving our booth.I think we have our new spot looking really good.We have added alot of new things and I have made some new Pilgrims and they are now in the booth.I thought you might like to see some pictures of how our updated booth looks.As always if you see something you are interested in just email me:

twellman@conninc.com

or for those that have my number just give me a call.We will start putting in Christmas things right after Halloween.If you are in the Hickory area please stop by and see our booth.We are still in the 2nd building but now you just go down the first row and we are the 2nd booth on the right.I hope everyone will have a great weekend!

Prim hugs,

Tammy
