Primitive Dolls and My Victorian Boot Ornies Coming Soon.

I just love to make these little primitive dolls and will be making more soon.  They never turn out the same which gives each one their own individual characteristics.

Also will be making more of my usual little Victorian boot  ornaments that I make this time of year.  I love to make them scented with cinnamon or plain to use as bowl fillers or tree ornaments.

So, stay tuned for more goodies.

Weekend Sale on my Vintage Feedsack Fabrics is Still on in my Etsy Shop Running All Week

Nice sunny morning here in the Midwest but is only 21 degrees but will be up to 39 today.  40's is predicted for tomorrow and I am so ready for that.  I would take 80's, but know that is wishful thinking.  Maybe next May or June.

Will be running the weekend sale in my Etsy Shop all week even though it started out to be just a weekend sale.

Listed a different packet yesterday and will be listing more today.

Vintage Feedsack Patterns Acquired

Haven't been here for a few days.  Seems like I have been so busy with getting ready for fall and acquiring some different vintage feedsack patterns.  On the nice days that we have had here in the Midwest, I was outside working, but is rainy today so will be inside working on my "new" old fabrics.

Here are some pictures of two assorted feedsack scrap packets  that I have just listed on Etsy and E-Bay. I think these little children are just darling.
