Holiday Annies

Welcome

~

I finished two new holiday Annies this weekend

~

on Annie's apron I stitched 3 ornaments matching her dress

 ~

I fell in love with this fabric and had to make an Annie

she comes with her little gingerbread man made from felt

and a tiny gingerbread cup

~

I've been extremely busy at work planning events

and exhausted at night

I have a few more holiday Annies planned

and hope to finish them soon

then I will take a much needed break come December

~

thank you all for visiting

wishing you the very best

God bless.

three new Annies

wow ~ finished three Annie's this weekend

and my wrists are aching because of it

Faith~Family~Friends Angel 

she has a vintage knitted doily apron

and a crochet doily for wings

 ~*~

 Forever Friends

this Annie comes with a little 6 inch Annie

and a rocking horse

they have been hanging on the factory wall

for over six months without hair

finally decided to finish them
I will list them on Ebay tonight

~*~

 Winter Friend

comes with her chenille snowman

her apron was hand stitched to match her dress

~*~
Faith Angel and Winter Friend will be
on Ebay at the end of the week
~*~

so I really didn't made three Annies in one weekend

but I did finish them and take pictures to post

I am quite proud of myself!

Thanks again for visiting!

Wishing a safe, happy week ahead.

God bless

Christmas Annie and Pillows

Christmas Annie comes with two small pillows

~

they are reversible with designs on both sides

 I love this fabric ~ it came with a panel so I made some pillows for Annie

one pillow has

"It's Christmas time, it's time to bow our heads,

say a prayer and celebrate the birth of Jesus" 

the other side has a little prim lamb

~

the second pillow says

"It's Christmas time, it's time for angels to watch over us

 and share some Christmas wishes"

the other side has prim candles

~

my prayer is to never forget the reason for the season, our Savior's birth!

  

Thank you for visiting

Wishing all a wonderful week ahead

~

God bless!

Sleigh Bells Ring

only had time for one new Annie this weekend

worked on an Annie order 

but also

had a family reunion on Saturday

and Sunday walked a 5K 

for pancreatic cancer with my cousins

~

 Sleigh Bells Ring 

is a new Annie 

with a hand stitched apron

~

she will be up on Ebay sometime this week

~

I tried posting on Etsy for awhile

but love the auction of Ebay

this is always a very busy time of year for me

and I have no idea why????

hope to have at least one new Annie next week

~

thank you all for visiting

may you have an amazing blessed week ahead

God bless!

A Teddy Bear & Bunny Christmas

working on Christmas Annies

my favorite time of year ~ celebrating Christ's birth ~ 

the only reason for the season

one has a bunny made using a Sweet Meadows Farm pattern

and

the other is a TY bear I changed and 

dressed with a crocheted collar and bow

wish I had more time to write but my real world job 

is keeping me way too busy

~

love my weekends when I play with my Annie dolls!

Thanks for visiting ~ have a wonderful week

God bless   :)

A Star for Annie

I saw a similar prim star and 

just had to make an Annie with her own star

~

little Annie has no body though

just her head sewed to her star :/

 ~

this Annie has been hanging bald 

on my "factory" wall for awhile  

 finally decided to give her and little Annie hair 

~

their dresses have a toile print of little girls playing 

there is even a doll carriage 

so naturally little Annie had to be in one too

~

all little girls cherish their dolls

so of course she had to be "Cherish"

Cherish is up on Ebay until Sunday evening

~

thank you all for visiting

hope you are enjoying the beautiful autumn weather

:)

God bless. 

Happy Labor Day Weekend!

Wishing everyone a safe, happy holiday weekend 

~

I have finally opened a shop on Etsy ~

been asked by customers to set a price

so Etsy seemed right at this time

~

always loved the auction part of Ebay

never knowing what your Annie would sell for but....

times change

~

I will still try to have an Annie listed on both

"try" is the right word because

today I start watching my two beautiful grandchildren

every other weekend while there mama is at work

exhaustion yet joy here I come!

~

one of my Annies finished this week is a custom order

she is similar to a previous Annie only a few inches longer

hope she likes her?!

Count Your Blessings

her apron was made from an old linen napkin

hand stitched "Count Your Blessings" and a basket 

added a tuck with cluny lace trim on her dress 

~

thinking of putting her up on Ebay this weekend :/

Thanks for visiting

hope to be back next week

God bless!

Scarecrows and Gingerbread Men

~ two new Annies ~ 

Scarecrow Crossings 

this little Annie is 15 inches long and comes with

her scarecrow on a stick

and another hand stitched on her apron

Gingerbread Blessings

Annie comes with a heart ornament 

and a 3-1/2 inchgingerbread man

~

I am not sure where or when I will be listing these two  :/

~

life has been extremely busy lately

I can 't seem to get enough time for my Annies

and it is very frustrating ~ they are my anti-stress therapy

wishing all a fabulous week

Thanks for visiting again!

God bless.

one of the owls on Annie's dress
