Showing off my Agatha doll and Swap dollies

Here is Agatha, so sweet and Prim! Victoria, from the doll group I belong to, made Agatha for me and swapped for Annie Valentine doll swap. This was her first grungy doll and I think she did a wonderful job! Agatha sits on my bookcase with some other dollies. I just love her to bits!!

The Valentine doll(s) I made went to Janene.



These were so fun to make. It was a set and the biggest doll had "Valentine Friends" stitched on the apron. The little dolls are My Raggedy Dolls patterns for Belindy and Annie. The bigger doll I just kinda made. Janene loved them.


Doll Making is one of the most pleasureable thing to do for me. I'd make dolls every day if I could!!! You can get so creative with the little dresses and stitching on faces and hair. Funnnn fun fun!

Check out these fun dolls I made for a challenge. This is a pattern by Stella of Dolls on Parade. Her link is on the side bar ---------> hehe!!
This pair was the first doll making I've done! Stella got me hooked!! Their names are Toddy and Mee and they sit on an itty bitty couch with throw cushions! When I was baking that couch in the oven, I was lovin' how it browned up! LOL Everyone should make this pair of dollies!! They are sooooooo adorable!

Are You Ready for July 4th?

Pics above and at right show an Americana Rabbit Door Doll with American Flag hangs on my front door. Now, that's what I call showing your American spirit! Especially with July 4Th fast approaching. This pattern by Becky Erickson will not disappoint you if you try it; her patterns are always great! If you go to her site, http://www.tennesseeridgeprimitives.com, you will be amazed at all the Americana patterns she has. I love the extreme prim look she does.

Also pictured, shown in my chipped and rusted enamelware pan: little flag pillows, Uncle Sammies, firecrackers, burgundy white and navy pip berry spray, pick with cream and burgundy pip berries and rusty stars and a tea stained 13-star flag.

Uncle Sams were done from a Crows Roost Prims pattern. So unique and original!! Sure to put a big grin on every one's faces, they are fun to make and grungy up! I made 1 for my boss at work, too!

The flag pillows were based on Nanny Goat Primitives pattern. I used a smaller stripe red ticking than called for, denim and buttons instead of navy star fabric. Grungy tags with "Freedom" "Old Flag" and "July 4Th" on them attached with a rusty safety pin and bell. All grungied up and smelling good!

My firecrackers I just winged it using grungy patriotic fabric with twine fuses, wrapped in grungy cheesecloth and a round "USA" tag.
