Christmas Swap

Hi everyone,
     I am sorry it has been so long since I made a post.I have been really busy with orders and trying to get ready for Christmas.I finally finished my Christmas decorating Wednesday and as of tonight I just have one more gift to buy and my Christmas shopping is done.Of course I have not wrapped any gifts or made out my Christmas cards.I also have a few gifts to make and I need to get to some Christmas baking,oh well it will all get done so I am not going to stress over it.
    I did a swap with my good friend Lecia from Farmhouse Prims.We try to do a couple of swaps a year.I love doing swaps with Lecia.She is so talented and I love everything she makes.She also goes way overboard sending extra things.She always spoils me.We did a Christmas/Winter swap.Lecia sent me a box full of goodies.I was like a kid ripping into that box.She had everything wrapped so nice but of course I did not take time to take a picture of everything before I opened my goodies,I was too excited.I had asked for one of Lecia's Prairie stockings.I love anything Prairie.I love the stocking!It is full of prim goodies....a little Prairie doll,gingerbread,candy canes,star,greenery and a bobbin.It looks so good hanging on my tobacco stick ladder.I also asked for a snowman.Lecia is really busy working 2 jobs but she took the time to make me this awesome snowman.He is huge and so cute!I love him!He looks great sitting on my Christmas stacking boxes.Lecia did a great job on him.She also sent me a beautiful handmade basket with gingerbread soap.It smells so good!Lecia is so talented,she made a pretty Christmas bobbin with a Vintage postcard and sent to me.I love it and it looks so good in my livingroom.I also got a cute Snow flake sign.I put it out in my kitchen with some snowballs.Oh yes,there is more....some cute prim candy canes.I put them out in my kitchen on my china cabinet...love them!She also sent me a pretty snow flake candle holder with a candle and the candle smells so good!I hung it on my Christmas tree.I also got a cute snowman notepad.I am already using it.Lecia knows that I love cookbooks.She was so sweet and sent me a Gooseberry Patch Christmas cookbook.I love it!It has one of her recipes in it too.Lecia was too good to me.She sent me way too much.I love it all!She is always so good to me!Lecia is a great swap partner and a great friend!Thank you so much Lecia for all my wonderful swap goodies and most of all for your friendship.
    I hope you will enjoy seeing the pictures of my swap goodies from Lecia.Enjoy the rest of the weekend!

Hi everyone,
    Well the countdown for Christmas is on,or it is for me anyway...LOL.As much as I love Fall my thought have been on Winter and Christmas.I have been really busy making things for the shops.All of the Christmas open houses will be next weekend.You know if you are a crafter you have to stay one step ahead of the seasons and holidays and that is why I have been making Winter and Christmas things really before the Fall season started.That is ok because I am loving it!I am looking forward to going to the Christmas open houses!
     I thought I would share some pictures of some of the things I have been making.I am so enjoying making snowmen.I love snowmen and I have made several of them.This snowman Billy Burrr is so cute!He is 14 1/2 inches and was made from a pattern by Country Friends.I think he is my favorite so far.I also made some really cute mice.They are called Christmas Mice.They are 7 inches and were made from a pattern by Country Friends.I made both the boy and the girl.They look so sweet together or by themselves.I also made a really cute small Father Christmas.It is 10 inches and has a hanger for hanging on your tree or from a peg.I made it from a pattern by The Olde Country Cupboard.I made more snowmen....the next cute little snowman is called Frosty Bite.It is 8 inches and holds a battery operated tea lite.i made it from a pattern by Country Whims.Another snowman,this cutie is Mister Frosty.He is 11 inches and he holds a battery operated tea lite and a book.He was made from a pattern by Country Friends.Another sweet snowman I made is called Old Frosty Wynters.He is a bigger snowman at 18 inches.He holds a cute little Frosty book that is a mini book.He was made from a pattern by Country Friends.I was really pleased with how the next snowman came out.It is called Peppermint Frost.It is 14 inches and he holds a snowman bucket(I made it too).There are candy canes in the bucket.It is was made from a pattern by Country Friends.I also made some cute snowman ornies.They are called Stovepipe Snowman ornies.They were made from a pattern by My Primitive Saltbox.One more snowman,he is a little cuite.It is called Winter Wonderland.He is 6 inches and was made from a pattern by Country Friends.Can you tell I love Country Friends patterns...LOL.All of the snowmen are weighted so they will stand on their own.I am finishing another shop order and will have more pictures to share by the middle of the week.I hope you will enjoy the pictures of the things I have been making.Thank you so much for visiting my blog and I hope you will visit again soon!

Just Wondering and Fall Prims

Hi everyone,
    Once again I must apologize for being so slack in updating my blog.It has been a busy and eventful Summer.I have been busy with orders,finally gave up and got glasses,so now I can see...LOL.Also my husband lost one of his Uncles unexpectedily on July 4th.My husband also had some health issues which really scared me but with lots of prayers everything turned out fine and the meds the doctor has him on has worked great.Ok,enough of that and on to my wondering part of my post title.I have been wondering if there are any bloggers or blog readers out there in NC that love primitives like I do.I know of some already but I get so surprised to find people on Facebook that live close to me and they too love primitives.Sometimes when I do shows and people that don't get primitives or just plain don't like primitives,give that awful look or say things that are not nice,it really gets to me and I wonder....am I the only one that likes primitives?Well never mind me I just wonder sometimes and would love to know what other people think.Well now lets get onto something better....Fall prims.I have been working on Fall prims since back in July.I really don't know how I have not been seeing scarecrows and pumpkins in my sleep...LOL.I thought I would share some pictures of some of the things I have made.I made several of the flat pumpkins,they are not real flat but look really cute in a bowl or trencher.They would also look great on a wreath.I have made several different scarecrows and I think the Happy Fall Y'all Scarecrow is my favorite.I was so pleased with how it turned out.I have made 2 so far and I am working on a 3rd one for a friend.I really loved how it looked hanging on my china cabinet door but of course I have not made one for myself but that's the way it goes...LOL.I made the Happy Fall Y'all scarecrow from a pattern by Raggedy Pants Designs.I also have to thank Jackie from TFC Folkart for sharing how to make the cute JOL pillow.Jackie is so talented and so very nice.I was so pleased with how the pillows turned out.Yes,I made more pumpkins....Patty Pan pumpkins,I made several of them and they are so cute piled in a bowl.I made then from a pattern by Sweet Meadows Farm.Oh yes,more scarecrows,I love scarecrows.I made a cute little scarecrow called Po Scarecrow.I made it from a pattern by Chestnut Junction.It looks so cute sitting just about anywhere or hanging.I loved how he looked sitting in my old sifter box.No,didn't get to make one for myself.I also made some really nice felt pumpkins.I made them in 2 different colors of orange,cream and black.I was very pleased with how they turned out.Well that is all I have to share for now.As always if you see anything you might be interested in or you would like to talk about primitives with me please email me tammywellman14@yahoo.com.Thank you so much for visiting my blog and please check back because I will be posting more pictures of more Fall prims over the weekend,I promise I will...LOL.Have a nice weekend!
